Last night I had the most vivid dream about Fisherman’s Pie. I cooked the whole damned thing from start to finish, then ate it, and it was divine. I could even smell the onions frying in butter; the white wine reducing; creamy mashed potato piped carefully on top of chunks of ocean goodness. Mmmm-mmm. When I woke jay for work, I told her I simply MUST HAVE Fisherman’s Pie (although by this point I couldn’t face cooking it myself, having already been through the motions once in my sleep). Sweet girl that she is, she ventured into town and tracked down the most delicious pie for me, which I had for my lunch, with peas, just exactly how I wanted it. To the Satisfier of Cravings – I love you! Thank you!
Today also marks the day of my first full on hormonal meltdown. I’m generally a relatively calm person, prone to weepiness perhaps, and overly sentimental, but all-in-all pretty well balanced. So when jay was slightly snappish with me this morning because I grumped that she had been keeping me waiting (the fact that I hadn’t actually told her I was waiting for her should be mentioned in her defence) we were both unprepared for the monumental paddy that I threw. Cue screeching and door slamming and snotty, messy tears. It was so ridiculously over the top that jay laughed, which of course only made things worse! She apologised profusely (for what?) and handed me tissues and I calmed down after a while, then started laughing hysterically at how ridiculous I had been. Since then, I’ve been exhausted!
Do you think I might be pregnant?

LOL I remember those hormone breakdowns that are so incredibly intense and real at first and then so incredibly hysterical after a moment. They are also totally exhausting.
Much much love.

Ooh, maybe. I’ll keep my fingers crossed.
Erin // August 15, 2008 at 4:37 pm |
Ugh, sorry – you *are* pregnant. This is what happens when I combine lack of sleep (thanks to my sweet but last night slightly annoying pup) and reading blogs in my email program – so I don’t see your regular header and all. I somehow forgot it was your blog I was commenting on. I have been following your story for a little while.
vee // August 15, 2008 at 5:15 pm |
Heh – don’t worry Erin – I’m still at the fingers crossed stage, positive tests or no!
Olive // August 15, 2008 at 6:56 pm |
Hah. Would you rather have nausea or hysterics to remind you that you’re preg?
reproducinggenius // August 15, 2008 at 7:47 pm |
Yes, I do think you’re pregnant–wonderfully so. I’m glad you have jay to help you with the cravings and to apologize for, well, to apologize.
By the way, you two have been nominated. Check my blog.

pregnant, much?
that is the cutest story ever. especially after the first part where the lovely jay gets a bazillion points for finding you the pie you wanted for lunch…
ohhh dont you wish sometimes you could see a video of these funny things people blog about… of course, AFTER the “itsnotfunny” period to the “itsTOOfunny” time…
i can see jay apologizing (for nothing) and then her laughing at the door-slamming.
love you both tons & tons!

Dr. Village chiming in: you are DEFINITELY pregnant!

Oh my gosh, amidst my severe nausea and hormonal roller coaster today, I just went into tears from laughter reading that! Thank you. You are most definitely pregnant. If not, someone snuck you an extra Hcg shot in your sleep, lol.
liberationtheory // August 16, 2008 at 12:26 am |
hell, emphatically, yes.
have you switched places with my wife????
sarah at notesfrom2moms // August 16, 2008 at 12:27 am |
okay i just laughed and read that post to amber and said, “god, do you remember when i did that to you?” I think those first trimester hormones do calm down a bit…
Whozat // August 16, 2008 at 2:46 am |
Ooo – Pregnant or not the worst thing Shrike can do when I’m throwing a fit is to laugh at me!
That just makes me exponentially angrier!
Also, please translate for the Yanks. What exactly is fisherman’s pie. I know about shepherd’s pie, and it sounds familiar, given the reference to the potatoes.
Tiff // August 17, 2008 at 2:17 am |
ahhhh how familiar that sounds! i had a similar “breakdown” in the first trimester. it gets better, i promise!
so, yeah……you know, i think you might be pregnant
jay // August 17, 2008 at 11:18 am |
Fishermen’s pie (especially for Whozat) is similar to shepherd’s pie, yeah, as it also has mashed potatoes on top. However, the main part consists of fish; seemingly random types like um, salmon, haddock and prawns. I don’t eat fish so I wouldn’t know! Ha.
Whozat // August 18, 2008 at 2:43 am |
Thanks, that was what I was going to guess!

keep on raging when you need to.
