A Brief Update on The Extraordinary Adventures of an Inordinantly Heart-breaking Misfit

Man (or woMan), I really have not updated this blog in over a week. Just so much going on right now. We keep doing pre-records, I've been fighting with the host (who seems to think he's the producer so I have to keep setting him straight), my production assistant never has time, the interns don't know what to do, I've been training my voice, next week I do a whole week of the morning news live, just by myself, a friend of mine is getting divorced, I'm stuck in Provo and keep getting asked out by guys who think they're so hot I should just drop all my plans and come running whenever they call, my roommate keeps trying to get me to like a boy I don't like and who always seems to show up when I don't want him there, then I'm taking a class and have homework, and went camping this weekend-and it is so gorgeous up Provo canyon, all the fiery leaves and black and rainbow colored mountains jutting out into the blue, blue sky, and the crisp autumn air, and the whole hurricane thing, and the protests, and trying to get a handle on the next show and organizing my team and learning how to manage, and letting myself get bugged by people, and trying to eat right and get enough sleep and exercise, and trying to remember new people's names, and wondering what I'm doing in Provo, and gas prices, and the economy, and, and just so busy and really need to get a massage.

I have no idea how I got here. I spent so much time dating and being single and going through boyfriends and now here I am -- in my late 30's, married and with a baby on the way. Sometimes it doesn't feel real, like I'm playing house. Last night my husband and I ordered nursery furniture from Pottery Barn. We made a list of things we still need to get from Amazon and discussed the credit cards with the best points to put it on for travel miles and cash back bonuses. We have 401k's and a savings account and talk about stock investments. You'd think, at almost 40, I would feel like a responsible adult and this would all feel normal right now. It does not. Any moment I wonder when I'm going to wake up. There were times I thought maybe I'll never get married. I wondered if I'd be able to have children -- or get the chance to even try. This baby, so far, seems so healthy and so far I've felt healthy throughout the pregnancy. I'm blessed with go

Don't Touch My Junk

I am appalled that so many in my generation are ready and willing to roll over and be sexually assaulted (and let their children be sexually assaulted), give up their rights to privacy and ignore their rights as stated in the 4th Amendment all in the name of supposed security at airports. This new TSA measure is outrageous and ineffective. I did not always feel this way. Like so many others, I didn't see the big deal. However, on more careful examination of the 4th Amendment as well as the many, many assaults that have already taken place, and along with an understanding of the measures we really should be taking to ensure our safety, I have changed my mind. This video is of a man who recorded his experience going through TSA. He asked the TSA agent not to "touch his junk". That's when the TSA agent put him on the no fly list and asked him to step out of line. After questioning he then tried to leave the airport but was told he had to go through the entire procedu
