11:17 am	I am SO a whale! :D Recently, in large French city, a poster featuring a young, thin and tanned woman appeared in the window of a gym. It said:   THIS SUMMER DO YOU WANT TO BE A MERMAID OR A WHALE??  A middle aged woman, whose physical characteristics did not match those of the woman on the poster, responded publicly to the question posed by the gym.    To Whom It May Concern:  Whales are always surrounded by friends (dolphins, sea lions, curious humans). They have an active sex life, they get pregnant and have adorable baby whales. They have a wonderful time with dolphins stuffing themselves with shrimp. They play and swim in the seas, seeing wonderful places like Patagonia, the Barren Sea and the coral reefs of Polynesia . Whales are wonderful singers and have even recorded CDs. They are incredible creatures and virtually have no predators other than humans. They are loved, protected and admired by almost everyone in the world.    Mermaids don't exist. If they did exist, they would be lining up outside the offices of Argentinean psychoanalysts due to identity crisis. Fish or human? They don't have a sex life because they kill men who get close to them not to mention how could they have sex? Therefore they don't have kids either. Not to mention who wants to get close to a girl who smells like a fish store?    The choice is perfectly clear to me; I want to be a whale.    P.S. We are in an age when media puts into our heads the idea that only skinny people are beautiful, but I prefer to enjoy an ice cream with my kids, a good dinner with a man who makes me shiver and a coffee with my friends. With time we gain weight because we accumulate so much information and wisdom in our heads that when there is no more room it distributes out to the rest of our bodies. So we aren t heavy, we are enormously cultured, educated and happy. Beginning today, when I look at my butt in the mirror I will think, Good gosh, look how smart I am. (1 Comment |Comment on this)

9:40 am	Today I'm 30. :)  I think it's a good thing to be. I'm actually feeling a bit teary about it,,, don't really know why.  I've thought lately, "hey, 30! I'm in a damn good place for 30. Amazing husband, beautiful kids, the best of friends, fufilling career. good times." But for some reason today tears prickle the back of my eyes when I think about it. None have fallen yet, so there is redemption in that. :) Husband is coming home this aft', just in time for a nice birthday dinner. I can't wait to see him. :) Current Mood: happy and befuddled (2 Comments |Comment on this)

9:21 am	Ladies, I almost peeed my pants, I really almost did! Enjoy! This is an actual letter from an Austin woman sent to American company Proctor and Gamble regarding their feminine products. She really gets rolling after the first paragraph. It's PC Magazine's 2007 editors' choice for best webmail-award-winning letter. Dear Mr. Thatcher, I have been a loyal user of your 'Always' maxi pads for over 20 years and I appreciate many of their features. Why, without the LeakGuard Core or Dri-Weave absorbency, I'd probably never go horseback riding or salsa dancing, and I'd certainly steer clear of running up and down the beach in tight, white shorts. But my favorite feature has to be your revolutionary Flexi-Wings. Kudos on being the only company smart enough to realize how crucial it is that maxi pads be aerodynamic. I can't tell you how safe and secure I feel each month knowing there's a little F-16 in my pants. Have you ever had a menstrual period, Mr. Thatcher? Ever suffered from the curse'? I'm guessing you haven't. Well, my time of the mo nth is starting right now. As I type, I can already feel hormonal forces violently surging through my body. Just a few minutes from now, my body will adjust and I'll be transformed into what my husband likes to call 'an inbred hillbilly with knife skills.' Isn't the human body amazing? As Brand Manager in the Feminine-Hygiene Division, you've no doubt seen quite a bit of research on what exactly happens during your customers monthly visits from 'Aunt Flo'. Therefore, you must know about the bloating, puffiness, and cramping we endure, and about our intense mood swings, crying jags, and out-of-control behavior. You surely realize it's a tough time for most women. In fact, only last week, my friend Jennifer fought the violent urge to shove her boyf r iend's testicles into a George Foreman Grill just because he told her he thought Grey's Anatomy was written by drunken chimps. Crazy! The point is, sir, you of all people must realize that America is just crawling with homicidal maniacs in Capri pants... Which brings me to the reason for my letter. Last month, while in the throes of cramping so painful I wanted to reach inside my body and yank out my uterus, I opened an Always maxi-pad, and there, printed on the adhesive backing, were these words: 'Have a Happy Period.' Are you fucking kidding me? What I mean is, does any part of your tiny middle-manager brain really think happiness - actual smiling, laughing happiness is possible during a menstrual period? Did anything mentioned above sound the least bit pleasurable? Well, did it, James? FYI, unless you're some kind of sick S&M freak girl, there will never be anything 'happy' about a day in which you have to jack yourself up on Motrin and Kahlua and l ock yourself in your house just so you don't march down to the local Walgreen's armed with a hunting rifle and a sketchy plan to end your life in a blaze of glory. For the love of God, pull your head out, man! If you just have to slap a moronic message on a maxi pad, wouldn't it make more sense to say something that's actually pertinent, like 'Put down the Hammer' or 'Vehicular Manslaughter is Wrong', or are you just picking on us? Sir, please inform your Accounting Department that, effective immediately, there will be an $8 drop in monthly profits, for I have chosen to take my maxi-pad business elsewhere. And though I will certainly miss your Flex-Wings, I will not for one minute miss your brand of condescending bull shit. And that's a promise I will keep. Always.

8:43 am	Today is my last day of rest. Tomorrow it's a day at the computer writing birth stories so I can start with client visits again on Wednesday. Today will be spent with a book in the morning, and then a 'Miss Conginiality' marathon in the afternoon. I do have to take a short trip out to the liquor store for some NewYearsEve goodness, but I will not change out of my sweats to do so. :) I went yesterday to exchange the day timer TDF got me for a different one. (it was very pretty, but not very funtional, (no month tabs, and glossy pages so notes smudge unless you leave them to dry for 20 hours before turning a page) but the kid there wouldn't give me a refund because it had been 33 days since it was bought. Anoying? yes. So I had to pick from their crappy selection (rather than going to home sence like i planned) and ended up with the same ugly model I had last year. However thanks to some crafty goodness, (goddess-y pictures and hodge-podge) it is now lovely! Excuse me while I go eat some Toblerone,,, (Comment on this)

8:54 am	I made my goal! Thankyou, a thousand times thankyou to all the friends who supported me in my fundraising for breast cancer. It was trickier than I thought it'd be when I signed up, but I have the money raised and will be walking the 60km next weekend. The craft sale was awesome. I sold all the stuff I had (except a few epsom salt satchets), painted the face of every kid who came by the table, and got some great donations to take home a can with 645$ in it for breast Cancer. I couldn't have done it without the help and support of my frinds, so thanks again and again. May our breasts live in harmonious health and proud (if not perky ;)) security with the knowledge that we are helping to make a difference. Love to each of you, and your breasts! :D Current Mood: rejuvenated (1 Comment |Comment on this)

3:34 pm	Help me my friends! So you all know I'm doin the walk to End Breast Cancer. And many of you have contributed to my fundraising, (a thousand thankyou's) Now I'm so close to my goal I can taste it, and only have a few weeks left, so I went out and bought some stuff to make epsome salt bags, pink ribbons, and necklaces to sell at a craft sale next week. I need the nimble fingers and creative spirits of some friends to help me make this stuff,,, who wants to help? And when? I'm flexible so anytime you can come over would be great,,, maybe we could all get together one night and have an 'evening to make things to end breast cancer!' Fun! Also, if you felt like bringing a plate of baked goods over to contribute to the bake sale portion of my selling table, the would be lovely! Also if any of you want to give money, you still can! http://www.endcancer.ca/site/TR?px=1868766&pg=personal&fr_id=1190 Love to you all, and your breasts! :) Current Mood: Crazy Busy (3 Comments |Comment on this)

EDIT: Ok, I found my rings, at home, by the sink where I put them when mixing ground beef this morning. That makes me feel much better. But this day still sucked.

5:21 pm	why don't I have the guts to say, "hey, put down the scissors and step away from my head." ? Every year this happens to me. This time I knew she had no idea what she was doing as she kept going over to another girl and saying "and so now I,,,?" Then she'd come back, make a few snips with this perplexed look on her face, and then go ask the other girl again. I could have done a better job myself with the kitchen scissors. Then, I paid for it. *sigh* Backbone,,, where are you? (3 Comments |Comment on this)

7:53 pm	It's so great to hear, "this is the best day!" *grin* Running herd on 6 kids isn't as awful as you'd think. They all played beautifully, had fun, and are sleeping soundly. It was nice to cuddle Lucian in the sling today,,, it's been entirely too long since I've had a baby in the sling. He laughed at his feet alot, (must have missed something there), and burped up orange juice all over me, but, damn, that kid is cute. And the gaggle of girls was more than great. Super fun day. :) However, because they are all asleep, how am I gonig to figure out how to work the TV?!?! *laugh* Maybe Tharsos can figure it out,,, (Comment on this)
