green_dreamsMy cousin told her parents (my aunt and uncle) that she's pregnant. She's ecstatic, her SO is ecstatic, her parents are happy, and AFAIK her family (including me) is really happy, too. I'm just debating whether or not to whip out the Edward Gorey stationary for a brief congratulatory note. I imagine it would be okay; they got us these really kind of lovely elongated clear-with-black-swirls champagne flutes, and the sensibilities seem to overlap.
What's throwing me: she announced this on December 22nd. The expected due date is June 16th.
These are my father's death date and birth date, respectively.
I mean, it's great, I'm happy for her, I hope it goes beautifully and well. It's just that between these sentiments, I'm looking vaguely at the calendar and blinking.

I got bath products for Christmas (as one does), and would like to go on record that for conditioners, putting in peppermint oil simply so you have an excuse to write "Feel it working!" on the bottle is a vile vile calumny and I heartily disapprove.[1] Tingling feeling, fine, but it has nothing to do with hair conditioning or color fastness.
(Also, let's put enough peppermint oil that there's still a faint perceptible warmth the better part of an hour after conditioning in a product that by definition is going to be close to somebody's eyes. Oh, plan.)

[1] For an exfoliant or something, I could maybe understand this. But color-safe hair conditioner? Sir, you are a filthy liar.
