I've been dying to share this for about four weeks, but kept it to myself til now.
At the lab where my OB sends me for my bloodwork they have a lot of funny things on the wall that you look at while they draw your blood. The first time I went there I was laughing pretty hard, so when I went back on Monday I asked the lady if I could take a picture of one of the signs, and instead she just made me a photocopy. Some of these definitions are funnier than others, but I still thought I'd share them all. I have no idea what their source was, otherwise I'd give them credit.

Also, I want the record to show that I am on a 4-day no puking streak; AND the last two mornings when I woke up I didn't feel nauseous. *knock on wood*

Woo hoo for no puking! Those terms are hilarious. :-D
Great definitions. And hooray for a small adjustment of ratios did it for you, huh? So glad for a few days of keeping it all together!
P.S. Have a great time in the NW!!!
I hope your nausea is gone for good! I wish I could say the same for me but I fear mine is only going to go away after the baby is born. Oh well. :)
That's a good thing that you survived the Nausea. I survived hazy air when I went back East. Speaking of the East, I made another post about another fun place we went. Would you like to take a look, if you have some time?
Those are really funny. Joe and I both had a good laugh. Very creative! :)
