Roxanne
If you're in San Francisco and you happen to be anywhere near the Stanyan Park Hotel, drop in and say hello to Roxanne for me, and tell her that Heather, the mother of that little baby in the stroller, the mother who was really hard on herself and had that really tall and cute husband who brought her flowers really late at night that one time, tell her that her picture is on the Internet.

You don't have to wear that dress tonight
Walk the streets for money . . .
Sherri, I think we're all going to be singing it, but only the version from Moulin Rouge.

You don't care if it's wrong or if it's right.

She looks so happy and full of life!

What a great picture. I can just feel her energy!

And I bet she has a pooping story too...

Karry, who knew another blogger was so close to home? What am I talking about? Everyone blogs these days. Statistics would diminish the incredulity of my first rhetorical question.

He brought you flowers late at night? Damn, he's good.
Great shot. Makes me want to meet her.

I'd never talk down to ya.

Heeey, we use Roxane as a drinking game, too... except with beer, not shots. Can you imagine doing shots during the choruses? (Roxaaaane, Roxaaaane, Roxaaaane, Roxaaaane...) ooph.

So who's from Illinois (Chicago and Harvey)? Who's from Marshfield, Massachusetts? Who's from New York? Who's from Rialto, California? And who is from the University of Wisconsin (GO BADGERS!)?

Ha ha ha ... funny. Rooooooxanne!
PUT ON THE RED LIGHT!
She is beautiful, and that is a beautiful photograph. It's great connecting with strangers, travelling or home. There's something fun and human and cool ad fun and good-to-be-alive about it.
You may all gag now.
PUT ON THE RED LIGHT!

A drinking game for when people type Roxanne here? We can all do it at the same time! That way, it doesnt seem like im drinking alone in my room while my roommate watches 90 hours of Star Trek straight.
God, I love the college life.
How did this get so far off the topic of dooce? In a month, this Roxanne person will remember Leta, 'cuz she's wicked boss.
(thats a two shot post)

I am not from the University of WI, but I lived in Madison for most of my life! Go Badgers! In fact, I was just there this past weekend. I now live in Minneapolis.

I'm sure Roxanne will be thrilled when she finds out. Also I'm sure the people singing will be a totally new experience. ;)

Great photo! I might be the only one who responds that doesn't get Roxanne stuck in her head!

Heather, did you create the web site for that hotel? It looks like something you would design. Just curious...

Hey--that's in my old neighborhood. I will now commence singing so that I don't feel homesick for a city I cannot afford to live in...
ROOOOOOOXANNE...

Oh, great. First my name is associated with a song about a whore, and now I'm a drinking game. Thanks, Mom. Were you DRUNK when you named me? While you were revelling in your first post-pregnancy shot of booze, were you playing the Roxanne drinking game and decided to name me after it?
I'm not bitter, not at all.
(I'm not the Roxanne pictured above, either.)

I'm actually a little scared of this woman!

congratulations on reconvening the procedure. just when i think i'm converted to the idea of having a kid, something always happens to dissuade me again. this post was one of those moments.

Re: reconvening the procedure. This is the kind of story that should be told to hormonally-charged teenagers everywhere to scare the crap out of them!

Ohh, ohhh. Peeing fire and blood I KNOW about. It's horrible. But I peed fire and blood because of an e-coli infection I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW I HAD. Go figure. I thought I had a UTI myself, but it turns out I didn't. My heart breaks for you, you've had to go through so much. You continue to amaze me! :)

Sorry if this ends up getting posted twice.

Oh my GOD! I am sending you happy urinary tract vibes so that your house is full of procedures!!! You have lost time to make up for, dammit! :)
