I guess I should have emailed sooner that I has no problem if you did it my way? Your way works wonderfully, though. Lots of links to read.

I’m wondering if my choice of majors (physics) meant that I don’t want/need meaningful daily interactions? That sounds kinda like me, so I’m not surprised. I think I’ll have to read that book.

I get totally covetous of people who pull off short hair with style.

I think I have to award you with the most creative giveback of the Beautiful Blogger Award. Of course I wouldn’t expect anything less from you.

I think you should bottle some of your brain and creativity and let me have a sip.

[...] thinks I’m sorta cool too. Or at least that I have sorta cool hair. In her recent post “Potpourri for a thousand” she gives a shout-out to a random list of things that have been on her mind. Along with an [...]

Jane,
I DID read your whole blog, though you kinda caught me, in that I DID skim the business stuff. If I ever want to be as good a blogger as you are, I will need to have you repeat yourself. Or click on help, as your husb (and my wife) are always trying to get me to do. Oh well.

Thanks for the linkage. I’m glad my blog can help you. Keep working on your husband… he will come around. I think understanding the spiritual nature of birth has helped my husband be more supportive. Knowing that it is more than a biological event but also a spiritual event has changed how he has approached birth. Now he is QUITE the birth advocate… even more so than I am sometimes Oh, and I was going to mention on your other post that if you can’t afford a doula there are ALWAYS new doulas who are looking for experience. Usually they do births for free or REALLY reduced prices. I know that one couple found me by contacting DONA (Doulas of North America) and getting a list of all the certifiying doulas in the area. You might also talk to other doulas and see if they know doulas who need expereince. Price should NEVER be an issue about not getting a doula. Most of us feel so passionate about it that we do everything we can to help a woman have a doula. I know doulas who have done exchanges for massages, landscape work, dog grooming, web design.. etc… Doulas REALLY make such a HUGE difference, especially if the husband is a little wary about being the only support person. They coach the coach and make the experience for the husband So much different. I bet if you look around you could find someone that is perfect for you that you can work a payment arrangement out for. Okay, sorry this was long

Thanks for the link! I hope lots and lots of people enter the writing contest. Feel free to grab the button I created! Oh, and I like yours–I think I am going to redesign my blog layout some time to give me more space for buttons.

The Male Brain is due out this month. Let’s hope it is as revealing as The Female Brain. Surely it will be a good bit shorter.

I love this wrap-up post! Lots of good info. I keep going back to reread things…except for those photos of me. I think I’d be one of those celebrities who didn’t watch herself in a movie. But I’m totally flattered you like my hair. If only I had your brains to go with it I’d be totally set for life! Oh, and I’m going to request “The Female Brain” from the library. Sounds like a fantastic read!
