Stinkin Castor Oil

Yes, I have become so desperate that I tried the castor oil. I did a lot of research, thought it all through, and even prayed about it. I feel like really good about giving it a shot, and it was the last thing that I knew about that I could do to help this baby come that I haven't already tried.
10 oz of orange juice
2 oz of castor oil
tsp of vanilla
little bit of salt
and NOTHING!
Skylar and I stayed home from a party we had been invited to (80s party, sounded totally fun) as we fully expected me to be toilet bound, which would lead to contractions.
We were fooled.
I spent the rest of the evening feeling normal, just waiting and waiting to get sick.
[TMI Alert] I got the runs, but not the horrible-can't-wait-to-get-to-the-bathroom kind, just whenever I had to go number 1, some number 2s came with it.
I went to bed at a normal hour and slept great.
Worst night ever! Not because it was uncomfortable, gross, or sick, but because it was so disappointing. I was so optimistic that this would finally get something to happen.
Nothing is happening still. Never a single cramp or contraction.
Poo on that.
