Something to Say

I've long been thinking about this blog and my next entry in it. I've thought of talking about work and the various and interesting personalities there or how I spent two nights in a row (one on a saturday) working till 1 in the morning on a pitch for a new client. I could talk about my new roommates and the situation with one of them that ended with the other discovering a drunken stranger stuck alone in our house that my first mentioned roommate had only met 20 minutes before (on the internet), but ended up making him hide in the back room when another guy she liked suddenly showed up to hang out with her. Or perhaps I could talk about the hobo spider situation, the mouse and cochroach infestation or the box elder bugs that won't stop reproducing and sending the troops inside. We're getting a bug bomb this weekend. My boyfriend found a new addiction to World of Warcraft in lieu of long walks through the neighborhood and movies spent cuddling together. Not fun. But he swears he misses me. Should I be satisfied with that? I keep telling myself at least he's not into sports shows. The desire is also there to talk about Barack Obama and what I think of his plan to create a better relationship with Iran and the comments he made about Hilary. There's an article all about it on the front cover of the Times today. But I just don't feel informed enough and am currently too lazy to get there on that. and what is it with left-over Halloween decor? I like to buy on the after sales but there just weren't any left. Every store I went to yesterday (Party America, Walmart, Smith's) had all but packed up the last remaining pirate shirt and wooley moving hand to make room for Christmas.

Today I got to explain Box Elder bugs to a friend from out of town. She was freaked out by it and I was like "No, if you're gonna have bugs it might as well be these ones."

Playing house

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
