10:26 pm	A-ha! My first grade teacher's name was Mrs. Dennery. I knew I still had that information in there somewhere! That's been bugging me all day. (1 Comment |Comment on this)
10:52 am	Firsts Meme From inannamoon over on Facebook: 1. Who was your FIRST prom date? Only, in my case - Aaron Cabitto 2. Do you still talk to your FIRST love? Yes. 3. What was your 1st alcoholic drink? I believe it was wine, and I think it was probably also a big deal at the time. Funny how things lose their importance in retrospect. 4. What was your FIRST job? I worked at a French bakery called La Baguette. 5. What was your FIRST car? 1980 Dodge Colt Hatchback. SEXY! 6. Who was the FIRST person to text you today? I hate texting. I disabled it. 7. Who is the FIRST person you thought of this morning? I woke up so many times this morning, it's all a blur, but since Vivian was always the cause, I was probably thinking of her. 8. Who was your FIRST grade teacher? Hmmmmm. I can't remember her name. I do remember her, though; I liked her. 9. Where did you go on your FIRST ride on an airplane? According to my mom, it was to see my grandparents. 10. Who was your FIRST best friend & do you still talk? Sarah Methlie. We are in touch enough that we send Christmas cards but no more than that. 11. Where was your FIRST sleep over? NO idea. 12. Who was the FIRST person you talked to today? Probably Vivian, although it could have been droid18, or it could have been the cat, who whines in the mornings because she wants to go out. 13. Whose wedding were you in the FIRST time? When I was about 10 years old, I was a flower girl for my mom's friend Sue. It was a disappointing experience because Sue didn't go in for froufrou girlie stuff, so I had this brown skirt and vest that did not AT ALL fit my idea of what a flower girl should look like. 14. What was the FIRST thing you did this morning? Feed the baby. 15. What was the FIRST concert you ever went to? I've been going to concerts since I was really little because my dad played cello in the community orchestra. 16. FIRST tattoo? Nope. 17. First piercing? I got my ears pierced when I was 10. It did not go well; one of them never quite healed, and I got an earring back stuck inside my ear, which I had to get removed at the doctor's, and my mom insisted that I stop wearing earrings and let them close up. I didn't get them pierced again until just before my wedding in 2005. (I did get my nose pierced in college, though.) 18. First foreign country you've been to? I went to France with my parents when I was 12. 19. FIRST movie you remember seeing? I remember seeing Star Wars (I fell asleep the first time, but we went more than once), and I remember seeing part of Superman (Mom had to take me home because I got scared of the kryptonite). I'm not sure which came first. 20. When was your FIRST detention? In 4th grade I had to stay after school to wash red crayon off my desk because I got caught coloring on it during class. I was pretending my desk was bleeding. (I was BORED!) 21. What was the first state you lived in? inannamoon says, "Well, if I was going to be a smart-ass, I'd say Tennessee for college, since Virginia (where i spent my first 18 years) is actually a Commonwealth. ;) ;) ;)" I, however, will simply say Virginia, without the disclaimer. 22. Who was your FIRST roommate? A girl named Alexandra at summer camp when I was 13. 23. If you had one wish. What would it be? I'm not sure. If I had to, I'm sure I could decide on something, but I don't feel like thinking about it right now. 24. Who was your FIRST kiss? Joshua Jeffress Apparently, froofie and inannamoon deleted #25. Having never seen the question, I'm afraid I must do the same. Current Mood: patient Current Music: sweet sighs of sleeping baby in my lap (6 Comments |Comment on this)

5:09 pm	CD Available At CDBaby! Gotta go start dinner, but I wanted to post real quick-like to just to announce that Beautiful Life is now available for credit card purchase through CDBaby! The link is http://www.cdbaby.com/lindsaysmith3. And if you want to tell the world what you think of it by posting a review, that'd be great, too. :) (Kind of nice to use the singer/songwriter icon; it'll probably be the last time for a while.

7:10 pm	Birth of Vivian OK, so I just had a baby. Everyone tells me it'll go by faster than I ever dreamed it could and that all of this will soon be a distant memory, so I want to write it down while it's fresh in my mind. This is a complete, unabridged accounting of a birth, and parts of it are extremely, disgustingly graphic, just so you know. If you do click on the cut and have no prior experience with childbirth, be prepared to never be able to look at me or my baby again without wanting to throw up. For those who are easily grossed out or who just don't want to read the whole story, here's the summary: Vivian Van Wyck Rinehart was born on May 17th at 8:20 p.m., not that this was the plan. She was supposed to arrive on June 7th in the standard head-down position. However, Vivian's first declaration of intent was to arrive three weeks early, presenting herself to the world butt first. She has now been alive for two weeks, and it has not been without a lot of effort on the part of droid18 and myself; we've fought jaundice with a glow-in-the-dark Star Wars bed when we weren't allowed to hold her, we've fought weight loss with force feedings every two hours, and we went to the pediatrician every day for a week straight. However, the Star Wars bed is gone, we don't have to go to the pediatrician for a weight check again until June 5th, and I think the doctors are going to let us keep her after all. Yay! Viva la Vivian! ( Ripped From the Womb ) I don't know how much more of our adventures in the hospital and our first week at home I'll get time to post (this was all written at 4 a.m. after a feeding when I couldn't sleep), but maybe I'll continue this later. Thanks so much to everyone for all the congratulations and good wishes; I haven't been on Facebook since my water broke, but droid18 has been passing on your messages. We are doing well and accepting phone calls and visitors and such, so please let me know if you'd like to come by and meet the baby. Current Mood: remembering (Comment on this)

1:02 pm	I'm a Mom! I never understood it when people would say of little babies, "Oh, don't you wish they could stay this little and precious forever?" I would think, "Dude, what the hell are you talking about? All they do is poop and cry!" I have always loved kids but felt kind of "eh" about babies. They're weird looking, yet you're expected to coo over how cute they are, they smell weird, they just lie there (unless they're crying)... I figured I was having a baby so that I could get past all that as quickly as possible and get to the point where I have a child - someone with a real personality who expresses herself and plays and sings - you know, the good stuff. Now that she's here, though? OH, so differently do I feel. She is just so tiny, and she is strangely, adorably perfect. That soft skin that she scratches with her little newborn fingernails every day but that looks perfectly smooth again seemingly within the hour. Those blue eyes that open so wide in her tiny face. Those tiny little facial features that seem to form exponentially more expressions every day. When she was first born, she only had the "asleep" face, the "baby bird" hungry face, and the gassy "half smile" face, but now she has a ton of expressions, most of which fall somewhere on the scale between "What the hell?" and "WHOA." whyvette and gt_norm brought Alana over a couple of days after we came home from the hospital, and little 3-month-old Alana was huge next to my 5-day-old, and then I saw a 10-month-old baby who belonged to the woman in charge of our diaper service when she came over to bring us our stuff, and she was so adorable but so big, and it made me sad to think that bigger and bigger babies were going to replace my tiny, perfect Vivian. Part of me does in fact wish, in spite of all the good times I know are ahead, that I could keep her this way forever. *sigh* Baby love. :) Current Mood: content (17 Comments |Comment on this)

12:43 pm	Best of YouTube http://eguiders.com/video/satan-is-dead The reason nothing Jon Stewart or Stephen Colbert do could ever come close to this is that it's the whole-hearted sincerity that makes it great. Also, I now hope that if I am ever murdered, someone will think to draw horns on my chalk outline. I wish I'd been posting more throughout my pregnancy because there are good and bad things about it, but now that I'm in my last month, it's pretty much all bad, and all I want to do is complain all the time, and I don't want to just bitch all over my LJ now, not when I haven't posted in so long. Luckily, there is lots of excitement going on in the worlds of my friends - marriages, engagements, babies, and the like - so there are other things for me to think about besides my currently pathetic physical condition. One thing I've realized recently is that I really hate it when I get sucked in by materialism. Most of the time, I just bop along, pretty happy with what I have, but any time I suddenly buy stuff or get stuff as gifts (at baby showers, for example), it just flips this switch, and suddenly I walk around making lists in my head of all the things I WANT WANT WANT. Within the past couple of weeks I have managed to convince myself that I absolutely cannot give birth without a new iPod dock with speakers and a remote and that the only possible way to lose weight post-baby is to get a Wii, even though I am well aware that neither of those things is true. Besides, I let droid18 convince me that we needed a video camera, so there's really no more money in the luxury budget. Also, the real reason I can't buy things for myself is that my spending money goes really fast because I'm always spending it on food. I do not want to teach my child these bad habits! I only have one more month to change everything about myself so that I can be the perfect mom!!! AHHHHHHH!!!!!! Just kidding. Everything's going to be all fine. :) Current Mood: jumpy Current Music: I need to get a new iPod charger (see???) (8 Comments |Comment on this)

11:11 am	Joni Minstrel on Opening Weekend Hey, y'all! This is just a quick post to mention that Joni Minstrel will be performing at GARF this year for one weekend only this Saturday and Sunday with sets in the Brewer's Pub in the afternoon with Rosemary Quench from Three Quarter Ale. I was hoping to have this info out in the same newsletter that would mention 1) the new CD 2) pre-order info for same 3) new web site but none of that is on the schedule I was hoping it would be. I tried. The new web site is up, though, if you'd like to check it out (love it or hate it, it's done). It's at lindsay-smith.com. I owe you posts about arseaboutface's wedding, inannamoon's bachelorette party, and, of course, the ever more energy-consuming pregnancy. I haven't forgotten. I've just been trying to get the CD out and the web site done before I go into labor! Miss you all...

9:31 am	Awesome Exchange on NPR This Morning From an interview with Finnegan O'Toole (no, seriously) of The Irish Times in Dublin about the current economic crisis and how it's affecting Ireland: O'Toole: ...the pharmaceutical industry. I don't know if many people know this, but all the Viagra in the world is made in County Cork. Interviewer: So Viagra sales are down? Is that what you're telling me? O'Toole: Well, I don't know if that's literally true, but metaphorically, certainly, the lead has gone out of our pencils.

11:12 am	Self-Pity Post My friends, my friends, I am not having a good week. I have been very sick with a very bad cold for eight whole days now. I tried to go into work a couple of days last week. It did not go well. So I've basically been asleep since Thursday night, with a break yesterday to go to the doctor (at droid18's urging; I knew they would say it was just a cold and that there was nothing to do but rest and drink fluids, and I was right). Because I am pregnant, there's not much I'm allowed to take to fight off the cold. I looked it up in one of my pregnancy books, and, apparently, it is common for illnesses to hang on longer during pregnancy than they would otherwise because a pregnant woman's immune system slows way down to avoid attacking the "foreign object" in her uterus. Which is all well and good, don't get me wrong, and I am glad that the baby is happy, healthy, and wriggling according to her normal schedule. It just sucks for ME! I have been keeping up my good cheer thus far, remembering all the times I've been sick before and reminding myself that this too shall pass. Now, though, on day eight, I am wondering if maybe it won't pass this time. Wouldn't that be horrible? What if I stay sick until the baby is born? I'll miss Rykie's wedding and my birthday, I'll never get to meet whyvette's baby, I'll never finish my album... but no. I must not succumb to such thoughts. I will go back to bed right now, and maybe this time when I wake up, I will feel better. I do not want to use up all my maternity leave on a silly cold. Tomorrow will be my day of triumph over this illness. I decree it. (I decreed it yesterday, too, and the day before, but maybe posting my decree in a public place will make it valid.)

12:20 pm	Jesus Christ Superstar Gospel It's playing at the Alliance Theater through February 22nd. GO SEE IT! If you love Jesus Christ Superstar, GO SEE IT! If you love gospel music, GO SEE IT! If you love to hear amazing vocal performances, GO SEE IT! If none of the above applies to you but you do like music, or theater, GO SEE IT! I don't remember the last time I was that transported by a live theatrical experience. I honestly might pay to see it again. I had the busiest weekend I've had in a while, and I did absolutely nothing for the benefit of droid18 or the baby. I felt a little guilty about it, off and on. On the other hand, my weekend was full of friends and fun and cake and music, and those are the things that replenish me and make me happy. Sometimes I forget how much I really, really love to sing, dance, and listen to music that makes me want to do both.

11:00 am	A Bridal Sisterhood As of yesterday, it is the Year of the Ox, and that is my year! Also, I wore red yesterday (not on purpose because I forgot it was Chinese New Year, but it still counts). Considering both of those things, I think I shall have a lucky year. And now, I will re-write the script for a movie I haven't seen. As much as I love movies about weddings (I will seriously watch almost any movie that centers around a wedding), I have not been able to stomach the idea of going to see Bride Wars. The first time I saw the preview, I was so excited at the beginning - two best friends getting married at the same time, planning colors and dresses and locations, yay! - but then it quickly became clear that all of that was just a setup for a giant catfight, which... why? I always forget that women are supposed to hate each other. I always forget that there are all those cliches about choosing bridesmaids who aren't pretty enough to outshine the bride or choosing ugly bridesmaids' dresses for the same reason and that it's all supposed to be a big competition with only one Cinderella left standing. Screw that! For me, the awesome part of getting to be a bride was not just being a pretty, pretty princess for a day but getting to do it with my mother, stepmother, sister, and all my best girlfriends. I can't imagine having chosen to exclude any of them just for being prettier than me. (In fact, if I refused to associate with girls who were prettier than me, I would have a lot fewer girlfriends and would be missing out on some of the most awesome women in the universe.) I know that there are some women out there who take this competition thing really seriously, but I've met many more women who can totally hang with other women without constantly worrying about who's prettiest or who's got the most expensive clothes or who's likely to "steal" someone else's boyfriend. (Hint: if another woman is trying to steal your man and it's not working, you don't have a problem. If she's trying and it's working, your problem is with your man.) So here, on spec, is my treatment for the movie that Bride Wars should have been: The opening of the movie is much the same. Two best friends get engaged around the same time, squeal and cry, and start planning their weddings. Also the same: the guys can be played by any actors, as they are not really very important to the plot. The girls are having a wonderful time trying on dresses, picking out flowers, and poring over wedding magazines. They choose each other as maid of honor and allow each other input into the bridesmaids' dresses they will be wearing (this happens in real life, I swear). They throw each other showers. They don't even realize that their fiances, feeling excluded, are starting to act bored and distant. When they do notice this, they reassure each other with one of the articles in one of the bridal magazines that talks about "cold feet" and assures them that it is completely normal, so they figure they have nothing to worry about; they can plan their awesome weddings and worry about their relationships later. Sadly for them, this plan backfires, and both of their fiances break up with them at the same time, which is only two weeks before the wedding. At this point, there is a "girls' night out" scene in which the girls go drinking with all of their girlfriends, with many cries of, "You don't need him! You can do better!" Our main characters get sloshed, wake up with severe hangovers, and realize they have made non-refundable deposits. They talk about having gotten sucked into the wedding fantasy and having neglected to think about their actual marriages; during the course of this conversation, they both realize that they weren't actually going to miss their fiances that much and that they had rushed into marriage out of a desire for the big, fancy princess wedding rather than a desire to actually be married. They realize that they are only in their 20's and that they still have a lot of (insert career choices) they want to accomplish and that maybe it would be better to wait to get married until they meet a man they love so much that they would sacrifice the big wedding if they had to, just to be with him. Then their eyes meet and they laugh because there is no way they would ever give up their big, fancy weddings. But this gives them an idea! Cut to the final scene, the wedding. There are two beautiful brides, two wedding cakes, a sumptious buffet, a huge chocolate fountain, the room is divided into their two different color schemes, and everyone is having a great time. The girls are posing like movie stars for the photographers. Their bridesmaids, in their respective bridesmaids' dresses, are doing the same; they are all laughing, eating, and drinking together. The two brides give funny toasts to each other, and then they tell the DJ to start the dance music, and everybody hits the floor. They know that, even if they never find the right guy, they've gotten to have their dream weddings. They also know that this wedding has turned into a celebration of their eternal friendship. The End. My friend Moria (who was one of my bridesmaids, as I was one of hers) used to talk about this when we were in high school. We both loved weddings but had both decided we weren't going to get married. One day when we were thrift store shopping in Richmond, we came up with the idea of just throwing ourselves a huge wedding someday, both wearing pretty dresses, and just inviting everyone we knew. I mean, why not, right? I would totally do it. And I would definitely go see a movie about it. Current Mood: creative Current Music: no iPod battery, alas! (17 Comments |Comment on this)

2:38 pm	Yes, But When Will She Start Kicking In Time With the Music? My stepmother told me that it would be exciting when I started to be able to feel the baby moving around because it would make me feel like the pregnancy was real, and I would feel more connected to the baby. I sort of didn't think it would, partially because pregnancy is such a bizarre condition that I've been hyper-aware of it the whole time, and partially because I've actually been feeling her for a while now; it's just been really, really faint, to the point where it could be a muscle spasm or something. Now it's just more obvious. But I actually have realized that it does make a difference to me. Just in the past week, I have stopped thinking "me" and started thinking "we" about things I'm doing. Last week, "we" recorded an album. Last night, "we" went to hear Philip Glass' Akhnaten. She kicked during the first act when the chorus started singing, and I don't know whether that meant she was enjoying it or whether that meant, "Mom, turn the music down! I'm trying to sleep!" Yesterday my boss' boss decided she wanted to try a new restaurant near where we work called Flip, which apparently was opened by a former contestant on Bravo's Top Chef. My favorite moment was when a co-worker mistook the dipping sauce for her onion rings for a condiment for her mushroom and goat cheese burger and said, "Oh, no! I've ruined what Richard intended!" The burgers and sides that we had were all delicious (if I could eat goat cheese right now I'd have gotten that one too, but I can't, so I got the turkey burger, which was surprisingly awesome), but I must warn my fellow restaurant-goers about the Krispy Kreme milkshake. Here's what I was expecting: a milkshake that tastes like a Krispy Kreme doughnut. Miracle of modern science! Here's what I got instead: a vanilla milkshake with little bits of an actual crushed up Krispy Kreme doughnut in it. It was pretty gross. I drank the whole thing anyway and did have very pleasant Krispy Kreme burps for the rest of the day, so it did have some merit, but on the whole, the textural issues alone would prohibit me from recommending it. I've spent too much money eating out during the past week, and I keep getting invitations to do more of it, and I need to cut it out. It's all on my credit card as it is, and I really need to put a stop to that, since I have no plan for paying it off. But I'm definitely going out Saturday; that's been planned for weeks. After that, I'm cut off. Current Mood: tired Current Music: "Beautiful Life" in my head (12 Comments |Comment on this)

7:40 pm	Best Week Ever I just spent ten days recording an album, and I am pleased and kind of amazed to report that it sounds really good! All credit goes to yamguitar; I just showed up with my guitar and my voice and played him the songs and said, "Make it sound good." I am always amazed when I get to make an album. I have all these ideas of what I want to hear in my head, and I have nothing with which to achieve those sounds besides my songs, voice, guitar, and the most rudimentary knowledge of recording techniques, I don't have much money to spend, and yet I can always find someone with a lot more knowledge and skill than I have who says, "Yeah, sure, I'd love to devote my time, talents, and energy to turning your ideas into reality!" I don't even know how I find these people, much less how I talk them into helping me. Just luck, I guess. Our plan was to spend ten days TOTAL on this project, with all recording, editing, and mixing being done within this time. Those of you who have ever done anything like this will not be shocked to hear that we did not quite make our deadline. However, some of you would possibly be pretty amazed at how much we did manage to accomplish during that time! One more day, two at most, and we will have this whole thing ready for mastering (and then I'll have to figure out how I'm going to pay to get the actual discs made, but one thing at a time; I can always take pre-orders). When I was a kid, one of my favorite stories was the one my mom used to tell me about being in a play while she was pregnant with me. Actually, she wasn't exactly in the play, but the director needed a woman in the audience to stand up and scream, and so she did it. I saw a lot of plays in that same auditorium growing up, so I could picture it exactly - my mom suddenly standing up and screaming, all while I was safely hidden out of sight inside of her - and I loved being able to imagine that little scenario from my mom's - from my - past. Now I will be able to tell my daughter (daughter - *SQUEEEE*) about the album I made when I was pregnant with her. "Your dad played all the drums," I'll say, "and Uncle Dolph and I stayed up late mixing it, and sometimes I could feel you kicking." And she'll be able to listen to it, knowing she was there. We did stay up late last night, and I ended up crashing at their place (completely forgetting about the Board meeting today, which is really not the time to show up for work in jeans and with unwashed hair). On so little sleep, I was powerless against the wash of emotion surrounding the inauguration, even though I didn't get to watch the speech (I heard plenty of clips of it on the radio later, as I knew I would). The radio announcer would say, "The children of Dr. King have just taken their seats," and I would start sniffling. I remembered when droid18 and I went to vote in November, and he pulled me close and said, "Our baby is going to be born in historic times!" Indeed. My co-worker Charles thinks I should name her Obama, and I feel certain that I wouldn't be the only one to do it. But that reminds me of poor Ronald-Ann from the Bloom County comics, and I can't do that to her. Maybe Malia? Or hey, isn't his other daughter named Sasha? Sasha Herbelnitzel Rinehart! I think I'm onto something. (Eh, l_bee? Do you double dog dare me?) And then, you know, just when I thought the day couldn't get any better, arseaboutface had to make a deposit at the bakery and brought me this amazing cupcake that was filled with jam and had this whipped frosting coated in crushed toffee bits and even had a cherry on top! Seriously, this has been the best week ever! I don't remember the last time I felt as light of heart as I do today.

2:41 pm	Scenes From a Pregnancy You guys know I'll blab about anything, so I'll put all this pregnancy stuff under a cut for the sake of those of you who really don't care to hear about it. It can get pretty personal. ( Scene I - The Pregnancy Test ) ( Scene II - The Ultrasound ) ( Scene III - Weight Gain ) ( Scene IV - Shopping for Maternity Clothes ) Well, that brings us to the present day in the ongoing story of my pregnancy. I thought about doing one of those filters or whatever so only people who wanted to read about this stuff could see the entries, but I'm too lazy to set it up. So, seriously; if you don't wanna know, don't click on the cuts! Because there will be more to come, and I can't help but think that the grossest parts are still ahead of me.
