this is why....

i should be sleeping instead of wandering around the internet in the middle of the night.




oh i almost forgot my thyroid levels were 'normal' forgot to ask what 'normal' was as i was half asleep again.

the two year plan

So today I had to haul MC into the pediatricians office for the wierd rash she's been suffering for a while. Well lately everyone has been asking me what I like to refer to as the 'million dollar question'- "So when are you having another baby?'

Hold on a sec and let me back up....
Now I KNOW I've been gaining weight recently and what not but more so in the last few months(i suspect my thyroid is out of whack again). This point was driven home today when while at the pediatrician's office and we were chatting as we always do(i LOVE her to death she is AMAZING and like part of the family) so she made some comment about how i was 'looking healthy' which at first i dismissed as no big deal, next thing i hear is the dreaded question of 'so any reason for that?'. Gee, how wonderful that makes you feel when your PEDIATRICIAN notices how much weight you've gained and assumes that your on what i like to refer to as the 'two year plan' where when your toddler hits age 2 you have a 'new' baby.

Mind you this isn't usually a big deal I can blow it off as a societal norm or expectation to 'fit in' but seriously why is it that everyone expects me as a young, mother to have another baby right now? Is it because the one I have is now somehow 'defective' or 'broken' or 'overused'? I am very happy with the single child I have at the moment and as I am not in a place to have another one I will wait until I'm in a 'better place' to 'replace' her with a new baby. oh, and it might be nice if i have a guy of some sort in my life next time around.

Show support for the WGA boycott DVD's this holiday

So in support of the WGA this season I am refusing to purchase any DVD's(for anyone) and will be waiting until the strike is over to redeem any Itune's gift cards I recieve(that I erroniously asked for months before the strike started).

This christmas my gift list includes photographs, candy, books, and a few other minor odds and ends.

All I ask of you my readers(if there are any of you ;) ) is that you support the WGA and not purchase any DVD's this holiday season and until the strike is over.

The video above can be found over at the united hollywood blog(http://unitedhollywood.blogspot.com/) or directly under this post: http://unitedhollywood.blogspot.com/2007/12/hollywood-interrupted-serious-and.html

also over at the hollywood interrupted site which can be found from the post with the video.

I strongly urge you all to go and check out the UH blog and stay up to date on what is going on down there as it affects a whole town, city, state, NATION. not just the writers are affected by this so are the DGA, the SAG, and all the other unions who work in the town.

though we too are affected i mean who is YOUR parent company?

Rodney Got Run Over By a Wraith Dart

Rodney got run over by a wraith dart

Walking home from the planet Christmas eve

You can say there's no such thing as wraith

but as for Weir and Sheppard they believe

he'd been drinkin' too much egg nog

and they begged him not to go,

but he'd left his tablet

so he stumbled out towards the gate

when they found him Christmas mornin'

at the scene of the aggression

there were stun marks on his forehead

and incriminatin' claw marks on his chest

Rodney got run over by a wraith dart

Walking home from the planet Christmas eve

You can say there's no such thing as wraith

but as for Weir and Sheppard they believe

Now we're all so proud of Sheppard

he's been takin' this so well

see him in there watchin' football

drinkin' beer and playin' golf with major Lorne

its just not Christmas without Rodney

all the crew's dressed in black

And we can't help but wonder:

Should we open up his gifts or send 'em back?

Rodney got run over by a wraith dart

Walking home from the planet Christmas eve

You can say there's no such thing as wraith

but as for Weir and Sheppard they believe

Now the fowl is on the tables

and the pudding made of bacot

the blue and silver candles

that would have matched the cover on his jacket

I've warned all my friends and enemies

better watch over all your consoles

they never should give license

to a beast that sucks your soul.

Rodney got run over by a wraith dart

Walking home from the planet Christmas eve

You can say there's no such thing as wraith

but as for Weir and Sheppard they believe
