I liked the sandwich options... nice touch!!! **sigh** stupid company and their trips. :(
Author's Response:
Hee! Thank you! :)
Stupid trips, yes, but I won't lie, I would love to be in Jim's position. If only I could travel that much. :)

WRITE like the wind, IKTMIT!!! (That evil Karen, is she going to slip Jim some rufies?)
Author's Response:
"is she going to slip Jim some rufies?"
HAHA! Wasn't planning on it, though that would definitely make that chapter a little more MA if it did happen!! Rufies aren't quite in the plan for the next chapter though...hope that isn't too disappointing. ;)

Aw, it's good to see them getting some quality time in, even if things did go downhill for them at the end. I can't wait to read what happens in London - like Pam, I trust Jim, but I know Karen's up to something.
Great chapter!
Author's Response:
I know! I feel so bad for them! (And I'm writing it!!) I wanted them to have a fairly realistic sort of marriage, but I wasn't expecting to write this much angst (or an emotion fairly close to angst).
Karen is a do-no-gooder (haha, totally just made that up). I'll kind of be sad when I decide her scheming days are over.
Thanks for reading (and the response)!!

I love how neither of them know where the basket is from. It's such a great little quirky detail. Oreo cookies are pretty amazing even without milk too. Isn't it funny how you can find things in your house that you don't even remember having gotten (like picnic baskets)? So weird...
Oh Jim, watch out for that Karen, shes' a feisty one! I can't wait to see what happens in London (if anything).
Author's Response:
I like to secretly think that Jim has a secret, torrid love for picnics. :) Haha! Or something like that. And consequently I like to think that Jim is the one who bought the picnic basket, heehee.
Oh, Karen is a feisty one. ;) Though to be fair, the big event in the next chapter probably won't be anything that happens in London...I don't think.
Thanks for your response!!

Sorry I'm just catching up with the last few chapters. Man that Karen was brash. Glad to see the Golden Beet again. I did miss it. Andy appears to have reached a new level of annoying so well done there. I miss the JAM schmoopy-ness. Please let something good happen with them soon. Either way, I'm still loving this story and will follow it as long as you write it.
Author's Response:
Karen is...interesting. She has taken on a whole new level in my mind. I have evil plans for her future though (i.e. Karen's demise plans, not Karen does evil things).
Something good will happen to Jim and Pam soon. I promise! It's about a chapter or two ahead yet, but it will come. They are definitely due for some good happenings. :)
Thanks for your response!

It's tough when you finally find the person you want to be with, and then you're not with them as much as you want!! (And even worse if you have to hear Andy singing all the time!!) Loving the frequent updates!
Good luck with the kitties -- hope you get the dominant male!
Author's Response:
It certainly is difficult! And plus, I needed some sort of conflict in the story and Jim and Pam duking it out every night just didn't seem like it would be a popular route to go. ;)
I'm glad that you're enjoying the frequent updates! I would have it no other way! :)

I wanted to review this a long time ago.... AMAZING story. I'm totally in love with it. I hurt for Pam and Jim. I want them to be happy, and right now they are in so much pain. I check MTT like every hour for the next post.... keep up the good work!
Heather
Author's Response:
Thank you for such a sweet response! :)
And Jim and Pam will be happy. This story has a long way to go yet!!

I love that you put Phyllis in!!! I can't wait to read more!
Author's Response: I can't resist writing in Phyllis. :) I love her!
Thank you for your response!

"Down by the Bay"? The kid's song? It's priceless that Andy would sing that. I think every woman wants a man to sing children's songs to them. Well, maybe not every woman. Or any woman.
Author's Response: Haha! Yes indeed!! :D I was trying to think of the craziest song that I could imagine, and for some reason "Down by the Bay" popped into my head. Now imagine that on The Office! That could almost top The Ainbowray Onnectioncay!. :)

Um...no ibuprofin for a pregnant woman, particularly in early pregnancy. No Tylenol either, until later, I believe. As soon as you said something about "flu" and Ibuprofin, I was saying "noooo!"
Besides that, I'm enjoying this. I'm concerned about all this pain and such...
Author's Response: Wow! Awesome catch! I was actually wondering if anyone would see that (it was intentional -- along with the Vitamin C). Thanks for the response! :)

Ok, so I'm all caught up now and totally enjoying your little AU. You're doing a great job keeping everything realistic, from the job issues, to the miscarriage, to the evil ex hovering in the background, heh. And now I'm forced to wait with the rest of your fans. :)
Author's Response:
Wonderful! :) And I'm so glad to hear that it's realistic! That's one of the main things that I try to aim for.
And don't worry too much, I don't make the fans wait too long! :)
Thank you for your response!

Yay for the Golden Beet! Poor Pam, it is hard to get pregnant with your husband out of town so much...
Author's Response: :D I do love The Golden Beet. I'm still trying to think of ways that I can incorporate it, and the characters from there more often. As much as I love Jim and Pam, Dwight, Angela and Kelly are some of my favorites. :)

perfection. You really are good at taking direction...not that you need much anyway.
you know how much I love this story, so I'll stop wasting space...
oh! and I hope you feel better, ouchies.
Author's Response:
Yay! I'm glad that you liked how it came out! I always like getting little extra ideas from you, throwing them in there and then surprising you. Surprise! :) Haha!
Thank you! (On all accounts!)

Oh great, you've got me tearing up now. I loved all your changes at the end...they really made it real. Your original Pam was just a little too calm. This story rocks my face

Aw! That literally made me cry! That reminds me of the movie Fever Pitch, what the the guy buying the onesie only to find out that there is no baby ; ( It gets me everytime...Anyways, good work. Update soon.

you broke my heart eight million times but in such a great way. loved this chapter despite the heartbreak but the picture is too cute! I was just recently there in SF and saw those and was like awww! So yay for onesies! Jim is so supporitve and wonderful for realsies. I can't wait for some happier times!

Oh My God. I'm so nervous! I hope pam doesn't lose the baby! This can't be good can it?
I also think it's funny she told him over a voice mail...great story to tell the kid when it's older.
OMG...IF she has a baby! ahhhhhh lol

OMG, I hope the wait won't be too long -- it's like that five minutes waiting for the pregnancy test results!! (a lot longer than they seem!)

Wow.
I got chills!
Can't wait for the next chapter.

I think the decision to split was a good one...so no worries :)
I really love this story and I would love it just as much even if I didn't get to help bring out it's awesomeness...
yay! That's the only sentiment I think I have :)
Date: July 03, 2007 12:39 am Title: The Mind Wanders
omg shes pregnant! Actually, thats just wishful thinking. Either that or she is sick....that would be horrible! I can't wait to read what happens.
Author's Response: My lips are sealed!!! (Well, the latest chapter kind of gives some things away...I waited too long to respond to the reviews...)
Thank you for your review! :)
