I totally forgot my prenatal appointment yesterday. I remember the one for the hospital just fine…, but the other one? Nein. I am a bad incubator! Actually no I’m not. I work hard for the fetus. I just have too much on my mind. Georgia.

I’m convinced I’m never getting married again or even planning anything that involves lots of planning and shipping and dressing. Too much stress and I’ll have none of it. Nada.

I realize I need Sue Burns to not be in California anymore. I need her massage therapy expertise. She has the skills that help me breathe when I’m congested. Right now, I need the magic worked upon meine neck-shoulders… and shoulder blades… and back. I need a chair massage.  Suuuuuuuuuuue!!! Get back here NOW! I’m hurting.

So I’m basically supposed to be resting (laying down) as much as possible. One of the delivery nurses who was monitoring me during my NST was very clear with me on that one. It’s kinda funny. Since she reminds me of my mom, Joan, and Jody, it didn’t bother me that she was so direct. It’s not like she was beachy. You just would’ve thought we’ve known each other all our lives or something.

So my feet are super swollen and my hands are too. No headaches or blurred vision so I’m cool.  I will admit putting my feet up helps. I have to rub them every day or I’d be in tears because of the right foot. It’s hard out here for a bear.

On the plus side, I’m healthy as hell. I have so many vitamins and minerals inside me, it’s a wonder I still need food. I’m sure I could live off vitamins, but Erik  asks that I save that experiment until AFTER Xavier is out of my womb of doom.

Doris Lessing - “Think wrongly, if you please, but in all cases think for yourself.”

Just because it’s in style this season doesn’t mean YOU have to wear it.
We the chunky should not be rockin the ultra mini skirts. No. It just doesn’t work.
I feel I am too dark for blonde hair, but warm brown works. That doesn’t mean you can’t have it and be happy.

What made me think of this? I saw two teens on the bus recently that were OBVIOUSLY goin for the ganguro look but were full of fail. We’ve all been there. I could post 3 specific photos of me super failing because I used gal colours that didn’t compliment me. Why? Because I was using a magazine example that was done on a gal with a tan, but not so tanned that she was as dark as me.

I’m just sayin… get your own sexy and use the mags as a guide.

“Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.”
- Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

That can go for so many things. The first that pop to mind are larger issues like global warming, recycling, the AIDS epidemic, animal cruelty, child labor, domestic violence… the list goes on.

I feel like there are so many things that bother me but there’s next to no point in talking because nothing happens. Repetitive complaining doesn’t do much good, if any at all. I can’t go punching and kicking every person who pisses me of. There’s only so much that can be sorted out verbally and I’m all out of nice and polite.

Back to my point. Sometimes I agree with that quote, but these days I don’t see the point opening my mouth. It tends to be a waste of time.

So, I was reading about stem cells again and this is what I learned today. It’s a wee bit gross but way cool nonetheless. Basically, your menstrual blood can come in handy if you get osteoporosis, heart disease, stroke, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s disease, etc. Why? Because you’ve got stem cells in there! Duh. Pay attention people… it’s in the title.Okay, so I originally thought your stem cells only worked for you, but I was full of fail. Those period cells (as I so childishly like to call them) will work for your kids, parents and siblings. So if they have the degenerative disorders of doom (DDoD) I mentioned above, you can help.There’s this special service called C’elle you can get. You should check the site out for all the super detailed info. They have a kit to buy if you want to get it for me.. hint, hint? Use this special promotion code: 241. If you end up buying, it’ll save you some money. And in case you want to see what people have the kit are saying, check out the C’elle Client Testimonials.

Aren’t you glad I told you? Who loves you?
