Oniony

I don’t often get around to reading The Onion nowadays but for some reason I glanced at it this week. Here’s evidence (to me at least) that they can still come up with some funny stuff (to me at least).

Good Luck PHC!

PostHipChick has been blogging about her pregnancy. And she has some interesting and emotional insights into being long overdue. Oh, and for those of you who are wondering (okay, maybe none of you are actually wondering this), Dee was long overdue but Packy was born right on his due date. Being born on the exact […]
