This is the very first time I drew a pregnant woman. She actually just looks sort of curvy from the front (the way a lady should look, imo), but Brigit was a rather thin woman before, so it's a noticeable difference. (And in profile, it will be more apparent.)

I like writing the Ricky/Brigit side plot, since it is so … happy? There are so few stable couples in the story that I find them a nice relief from the struggling singles, divorcees, and widows that seem so abundant. I have urges to write about things like weddings and pregnancies, but I simply can't with the main characters, so I get to do it with these two instead. ^_^

Exciting news (for me … you probably couldn't care less :-P ). I finally have my own private workspace. My computer has been on my parents' dining table, but they moved an old desk into my bedroom, so I have privacy now (and I can watch what I want at night – instead of my mom's shows).

ghostrunner: Cleanliness is next to godliness. (Although, God came up with dirt and bugs, and man made bleach…)

Masq: It sucks to work yourself up, and then everyone thinks you're crazy because you're crying (or covering up that you were crying).

Peipei: Doing dishes sucks, but it's part of the job. (My parents don't have a dishwasher, so now I have to do them a lot.)

n_y_japlander: Glad you like it. Yeah, Seiko gets depressed and sulks when alone with her thoughts.

Tantz: That would probably help a lot.

amanda: Lol. Makes me think of juvenile antics of pulling a girl's hair or sticking a frog in her bed or something. (Awe. He likes you.)

trevor: Especially in B&W… After this chapter, I started, at minimum, shading walls, adding chair rails and molding, "zooming out" to include floors and furniture, etc. (You can see here that I made a two-toned wall for the sake of interest.)

Jess: There are advantages to not being short. On the other hand, short people (*cough*mom*cough*) always ask you to get things off of high shelves. XD

JustNoPoint: I was going to bring in Yuki and Seiko to Off Hours, but I think the cosmos would implode if they encountered Fenny and Sally. :-P (Plus, there's the underrepresentation of males… – Just like the real celebrity universe!)
