I was going to write you a whole story, including the inauspicious movie ad by the clinic (“This Is The End”) and the auspicious way the hotdog stands smelled AMAZING, how I bought hpt’s so that I could pee on a stick after the blood draw but before the phone call (and in so doing learned that the 42nd street CVS sells honest to god vibrators), only then I sat there, next to the open box, crippled with indecision about whether or not to test, given that Sugar was off working a shift in my stead at the food coop and so on, and then the phone rang…but like me when the nurse on the phone asked how I was feeling, you would probably prefer that I dispense with the pleasantries.
Yes. Yes, I am.
221, for those of you who like numbers.
Prime factors of 13 and 17, which I like.
Starrhillgirl points out that, rendered as all caps, 221 is a very enthusiastic pair of breasts:

That seem auspicious, even I must admit.

Yes! YES YES YES! *punches the air, runs around in small circles, Snoopy dance, hug extravaganza, and so on and so forth until we’re all quite tired and need to sit down and eat cake*

June 2, 2013 at 2:11 pm
For the record, everyone, I simply “discovered” what the yelling/excited version of 221 looks like. I would *never* talk about, ahem, breasts. Never.
Also, woo and hoooooo!!!!!!!!!
June 2, 2013 at 2:12 pm
Well, that’s a nice POSITIVE, unambiguous number, right?
June 2, 2013 at 2:32 pm

I just need to mention that when I hear the number “221” I think “…B Baker Street”. Maybe this baby will look like Benedict Cumberbatch?
June 4, 2013 at 9:19 pm
Is that a good thing? Because that would be a good thing in my world.
June 5, 2013 at 10:26 am
