Ok, so I am on Week 3 and I’ve lost 2.5 lbs. I don’t really notice a physical difference yet, but mentally it’s great to see the numbers. I went to three different meetings (on Slootie’s excellent advice) and found a meeting leader I really like. She’s absolutely in love with the buns which is nice because I pretty much have to bring him with.

Boo is hilarious. After a few months in French Immersion school her articulation is astounding. She told hubbin her Christmas list last night, but it includes gifts for everyone. I’ve recreated it here….

For Daddy - a CD with Batman on it.
For Mommy - a rose with no bees
For the Buns - a rocket ship (then she made a rocket ship take-off noise)
For Her - a work bench for her tools so she can help fix things.

I’ve racked my brain and checked my calendars and even looked at the archives of MDC and checked my sent e-mails. I’m pretty sure that I’m very, very, VERY late with my period. This wouldn’t normally shock me, but hubbin and I have been wink wink, say no more lately and I’m trying to count days (which I haven’t had to do in FOREVER) and I’m positive that it’s been over 31 days since my last P. A recent pregnancy test came back negative, but even if that’s the case, I SO don’t want to get pregnant right now. I called my Dr. to get on the pill. Hi, I’m 16 again.
(Actually that’s bullshit since I didn’t have sex until I was 18 and didn’t get on the pill until college. I guess I’m just prorating for inflation).

things….that…uhm….not so much…

a.) cindy mccain’s $300K outfit the first night. she reminded me of ivana trump, except cinds has more money.

b.) sarah palin - fuck her and her hockey mom bullshit

c.) huckabee and guiliani - thanks for the fear mongering guys!

d.) the WTC montage video - i didn’t watch this myself, but the fabulous Mr. O’s reaction was 100% right. i guess the GOP has to justify the war some how.

on the plus side

watching the coverage last night with JCSG was awesome. reading the FakeSarahPalin’s tweets on Twitter was hy-larious, and then making it home to see Triumph the Insult Comic Dog on Conan - best line ever…”she [Palin] will be a great-grandmother in 12 years.” it’s funny cuz it’s true!

a.) stephanie meyer’s Twilight series. always a sucker for the vampire novel. always, always, always! with the exception of that pleb mary janice davidson. i torn into these novels like fangs on an alabaster throat. they aren’t the next harry potter, since teenage vampires only appeal to a select few (and their moms). but they were fun. my only complaint is that meyer didn’t deliver the goods when it came to bella losing her virginity to edward (the vampire). but you already know all about that.

b.) toasted marshmallow jellybelly’s. damn the candy aisle at Target. as a mother of two, i am at target at least once a week. and without fail i dig into those jellybeans. i will easily drop ten bucks on a bag of toasted marshmallow mixed with bubble gum, tutti frutti and vanilla. and even though it’s a blend, i always eat the toasted marshmallow ones first. and just so you don’t think i’m a total pig - i do share the beans with boo and a ten buck bag lasts about two weeks. so it’s only every other trip to target.

c.) facebook. i have rekindled many a long lost friendship because of FB. my top three: colby, the boy, and fultzie. where else can you be a fan of adrien brody and chat with a girlfriend in denver?

d.) wall-E. if you haven’t hightailed it to this sleeper tear-jerker you are missing out. one of the best love stories in modern times. boo picked out a wall-E book at the library and it’s the first one we read off the pile. hubbin read it and said great, now that i’ve read the book (all seven pages) i don’t have to see the movie. you have to go for the production value, said i. this has production value! he exclaimed, and pushed the button so the little twinkle lights on the book lit up.

e.) rachel’s yogurt. from it’s sexy black packaging to the fact that it is not made with corn syrup. what’s not to love? pomegranate acai makes licking the spoon seem like a sex act.
