The One Where I Try To Write A Humorous, Yet Random, Post

Let’s chat, shall we? I have a few things I’d like to share about my life these days.

1. I have my first post up at Prefabcosm.com, which is the work-at-home job I’ve mentioned. Mostly I do research, though.

2. I’m getting used to feeling nauseous all the time, but I’m really bitter about the fact that all of my pants/jeans/skirts are already so uncomfortable that all I wear are yoga pants and the 7$ maternity jeans I got on Target.com. With the other two, I didn’t wear maternity clothes until the second trimester. This is just so wrong.

3. The houseguests are still around. They have been staying at my parents’, though they often spend an afternoon here. I’d like to ask your opinion on a few things about them, because they seem to think that we’re the weird ones. (BTW, this is really not Hubby’s fault and he feels guilty enough, so don’t pick on him, okay? This is really about them.)

-Would you ever invite yourself to stay with non-family members for longer than a weekend? (apparently, they also spent six weeks staying with a family in Brazil)

-If you were staying at someone’s house, would you leave their coffee mug in the sink while you put all of your dishes in the dishwasher?

-If you were staying at a virtual stranger’s house after assuring them that you would be buying your own food, would you eat their tomatoes, eggs and bread after they said you could have some lettuce?

-If you were staying an hour’s train ride from New York City for three weeks, would you only go into the city three times, instead spending your days watching TV, playing a computer game, reading and working on your book based on characters you created with your friends in high school?

-If you were having a lovely dinner at the home of your friend’s in-laws, who are letting you stay with them, would you get up and walk away from the table while all of the other adults were still talking? And would you then motion for your girlfriend to join you so that she could rub your neck?

-Would you be pissed if, the hostess of the home you were staying in for two weeks asked you to stay out of the kitchen one morning (instead of cooking your normal fried breakfast) because she was scrubbing its floor?

-Would you say thank you if someone folded your laundry for you?

4. I took Lovebug to the new pediatrician today for his belated two year check-up (because we FINALLY have health insurance! Yay us!). I LOVE the new pediatrician and her staff. But she is concerned about Lovebug’s articulation – I understand him more than 50% of the time (apparently 50% is the norm for two year olds), but other people probably don’t. If it doesn’t get better within the next month, I’m to call Early Intervention. But I’m wondering if I should just call now? I’m also wondering if frustration over us not understanding him is what causes his meltdowns.

5. I have signed the children up for story time at the library. I am afraid. When I used to take Ironflower to story time in Kansas City, she would not sit still for any of it. She ran around until the craft time came. While I think school might have mellowed her, I’m pretty sure Lovebug will not deign to sit with me and listen to a story when we do that at home. But it’s free and will keep them entertained for thirty minutes. So what if it raises my blood pressure, right?

6. This post really wasn’t that funny, was it? How come when other bloggers write their random posts I always find them funny, but I can’t do it on my own?
