You know you're overdoing the weights when the hospital doesn't have a blood pressure cuff large enough to fit around your arm.

That was also the night when a very young nurse lost control of something stuck in me and blood sprayed EVERYWHERE. That included everything electronic and the lot had to be taken to maintenance.

Good times, good times.

You know you're a new parent when Friday night means doing the laundry and looking forward to a 9pm bedtime.

You know you've worked with computers too long when you need bifocal reading glasses.

As in, two different reading focal lengths (one for the computer and one for books) not one reading, one distance.

Okey-dokey, more positive! More fabulous!

You know you're fabulous:
- when your 18-year-old niece laughs along with your silly jokes.
- when the art students stop you in the hallway to ask where you got your duct-tape courier bag. You know you're even more fabulous when they gape at your answer: "I made it."
- when your future mother-in-law tells you "You're the best thing that ever happened to our son." (I almost cried.)
