A week of trivial pursuit

-
Yes, I did give birth recently. I'll comment more on that another day. My brain is working on the trivial today. While working on being the sole food source for a youngun, I have watched more tv than is usual. Hence, I will share all of the tremendous wisdom I have gathered in the past week.
  • Green Day needs a new look. The hot, rebellious look of punkness looks ridiculous on older dudes. The drummer looks like a middle-aged guy on Halloween. I would include a picture, but I am worried about copyright laws. It is more like eeewwww than oooooooo!
  • There are some FREAKY fans of the Twilight series. Wow! There are fans and then there are women who bedazzle their t-shirts/pillows/whatnot in favor of team Jacob or Edward.
  • You would think a 34-D is hot....yet it is not. For some of you, this is not a big number. For me, wo stop the conversation people I am past a B!
  • Since I have gone there, let's talk more letters. Some nursing bras go up to K. Really? How do you walk?
  • College football is more interesting than pro.
  • I have become a Donny Osmond fan again. He is a real classy guy. Maybe I will write an entire entry of why I believe this to be true.
  • Do you think Oprah will really quit? I think she will still do something public.
  • I'm pretty sure soap operas have the same story lines I watched when I was in high school. But, I think some people have had some GOOD plastic surgery.
  • I think my brain is more comfortable with trivial than serious thoughts.
  • It always requires difficult days for me to remember what a gift my body/health is.
  • Good and kind people have enriched and blessed my life on a daily basis.
  • It can be glorious to slowly walk in bright sunshine.

Kate-
Love the post. I have never watched more tv then when breastfeeding or being on bedrest. You always make me laugh. Wish I could respond to all your thoughts but it would be boring. Donny fan-yes, for the first time in my life. Huge nursing bras, yes. Not even going to mention a number. As for Jacob, after seeing New Moon I wish I was 17 so I could have a crush on Taylor whatever who plays him. You know I have always been on team Jacob. No, I haven't kissed my mirror pretending it was him, or Edward to be honest. Write more about your baby. For example, what is him name?

I rather enjoyed reading this list.

I missed the Dancing of Donny, but read about it in the paper. I became fan of Donny again a few years ago when he sang "Be a Man" for Disney's Mulan. Such a great song.

My favorite item was this:
"It always requires difficult days for me to remember what a gift my body health is."
So true.

Ah Kate, you rock, as usual! I never read or watch anything serious postpartum. It's been years since i had a deep thought actually.
BTW, What is little David's first name?

Really - tv? I always read with the baby propped on a nursing pillow I had a hand free to hold a book. That first little while is soooo great and soooo quickly gone. Enjoy it while you can. And uh, Team Edward all the way!

Doth evil lurk?

-
My son hid himself in the blankets of our bed yesterday. He shouted out, "Mom, Dad come I'm lost, come find me!" I whispered, "If I were a sibling I would pop him on the head and say, 'looks like I found you.' " My husband looked at me with puzzlement, " I wouldn't have done that. I don't think my siblings would have done that. What kind of family did you come from?" I gave him a deer in head lights stare-- hmmmm, I thought: a pack of hyenas, blame the brothers, lack of supervision in the home, is he serious, am I just cruel, what for the love is the right answer here? I never did answer the question. He could have been dead on fooling me. Or, he could be right, what kind of family did I come from? Or, worse, do I just have spontaneous evil that springs from the dark recesses of my heart?...........still waiting, guess I just don't have an answer.

Bonfire of Vanity

Last year, as 39 crept into the door, I purchased an internet deal on facials. No big deal. I was feeling the quiet tickle of old-age on my face. Chemical peels seemed to be the answer. One year later and I had finally got around to redeeming the specials. I hate wasting money more than age spots. Having done this before, I was looking forward to a dark room and pleasant smelling stuff on my face. At the time, it did not concern me that I had a different esthetician. Sure, it burned a little more. It was probably working. During the weekend my face went from red like a sunburn to "who drug your face behind a skateboard?" I hunkered at home like a pimply thirteen-year-old. That Sunday, I was in charge of getting the children to sing loudly for Father's Day. No sweat, they always sing so cheerfully for me. In addition, I knew my local gathering of church goers was going to realize I was pregnant. (Yeah, did I mention I was pregnant?) This perfect storm of s...

Arrrggg, the curse, the curse

There are tales out there of spacey pregnant women. Science even backs the notion a pregnant woman's brain loses some power. Oy! I have been losing stuff to the point of crazy. I'm ready to throw until I find everything. Step back-- it could get ugly. I really want that home where it is like an Ikea closet. You open the doors and it has labels, links and matching containers. Each time I go the Ikea or Pottery Barn site, I believe brother! My husband reminds me that baskets will not solve the world's problems. I'm not sure. For now my missing in action list is pathetic and long. It includes: book bag for the library--I love the library this is serious beautiful, green leather scriptures my husband just bought me wedding ring (this sounds bad, left low by the lotion bottle). Sadly, we really can't find it. silver pendant which was a gift from my MIL--it slipped off my neck, I'm sensing a theme a DVD I rented and never saw numerous small things like sandal...
