June 8, 1999I was shamed to realize that yet another Clarion student, Karen Meisner, had gotten her online journal up while mine was still off-line. Okay, today I took the grand step. I had been holding off because I really wanted my online journal to be up on Sff.net (where it would be advertisement-free), but I could not figure out how to use FTP to get my html files transferred over. Sheesh, am I technically incompetent or what? Maybe when I'm at Clarion I can shake down Jenn Reese and John Sullivan to tell me all their secrets. I'd hate to have spent the money on a website that I cannot use.Still packing for Clarion, but I am amazed at how little of my clothing will be able to come with me. Everything in my wardrobe was designed to show off that I had a small waist. Alas, no more. My stomach groweth daily, and I've only gained two pounds so far! Nothing fits except the few items that I had that were shapeless (I used to wear those with belts or tight vests.) I feel like a whale and I'm only in my tenth week! Ah, vanity... I keep telling myself that pregnant women are beautiful, but this is going to be a hard adjustment to make. I just have to buy new clothes, and soon. Hmm |
