I cannot believe how many of you fell for yesterday’s entry. Y’all totally made my day, you know that? In case you didn’t figure it out before now, no. I am not pregnant, and I’m especially not pregnant with twins. I’m sorry to disappoint – some of you got REALLY excited, didn’t you? I thought for sure you’d twig to the fact that it was an April Fool’s joke when I put up the ultrasound of twins. Yeah, it would have been funny if it was true, but to be honest, if it WAS true, I would have written the entry on any other day EXCEPT April first. Don’t you know you can’t believe anything on April Fool’s Day? I’ve gotten suckered in so many times in the past that I have April 1st marked in bright red so I know better. I was actually not going to put up an entry yesterday. Fred and I were talking about it, and I said “I could say I was pregnant…” and we talked about it for a few minutes, and finally I said “Nah, I’d better not. I don’t want to get anyone mad at me!” But then I checking my email yesterday morning, and there was a notify email from Carrie. Carrie’s done (I think) three years of April Fool’s entries (my favorite is this one), and I’ve never believed them – see above about the first of April being marked in red – but I always enjoy them. I clicked on her “year ago” entry and saw the sonogram of the twins, and I called Fred and said “What if I said I was pregnant with twins?” Honestly, y’all. It was so over-the-top I never thought anyone would believe it. I fielded about twenty emails from you guys asking if it was true. That cracks me up. So, no. Not pregnant. I hope none of you are terribly disappointed or angry. Don’t feel bad if you did get suckered in – I had Fred proofread the entry before I posted it, and he said “You tell a good story. I almost believe it, and I know it’s not true!… is it?” Heh. I found the picture of the positive EPT test and the sonogram on Google Image search. Fred used his mad photo skillz to put my name, the date, and the time on the sonogram – apparently it was pretty difficult, because he had to create an “n” out of thin air. It looked pretty real, didn’t it? Fred is da bomb.

“Urrrrp. Oh! ‘Scuse me!” The come-hither look. “I like to lick my arm and then sniff it…” “I will NOT yawn for you, woman! Stop trying to make me!”
