I have some longer posts in the works but haven’t gotten my act together and finished them, so today you get bullet points:
- Long-time readers of this blog might remember that I have a dear nephew, known here as the Boy. It’s hard to believe, but said boy is no longer a baby and will in fact be five at the end of this month. And, in May, will be a big brother. And then in September, going to kindergarten. I’m trying not to get all verklempt about this.
- My sister and I are hosting a baby shower for our mutual sister-in-law tomorrow. I’m not going to say if we’re getting a NIECE or a nephew, but I am excited that said child is scheduled to be born the day before my birthday.
- So based on that, is it any wonder that I’ve had babies on the brain lately?
- Speaking of babies (again), I’m so tired of men all over the U.S. who don’t personally have ovaries and uteri trying to tell women what should and should not happen in the general vicinity of said organs.
- I had to look up uterus to make sure that I had the correct plural form of the word.
- I just had to put a new book of checks in the checkbook. Yes, I still write paper checks. How many of you still do too?
- I accidentally ran two days in a row this week. I haven’t attempted that in a couple of years and my knees reminded me afterward yesterday why they need a little down time after runs.
- According to my notes, I’ve put over 250 miles on my sneakers since the beginning of December. Those are both running and walking miles, but still, that’s a lot of miles. Time for new sneakers.
Okay, really, this is all very random, so I’ll just end now before I bore you further. See you on Monday.
Enjoy your Consumer Reports while the girls are at school and have a great weekend.
I write a few paper checks still, but most of our bills are paid online. I agree 100% about people without female organs trying to regulate what goes on down there. Have a great weekend!
So, uteri is just a cool word. I need to remember that for my Words With Friends games.
I still write one paper check for our electric bill, because the place charges extra to pay online! How stupid is that? I actually wrote them a note telling them how stupid they were. Strangely enough, they haven’t changed their policy yet.
The one place where I use checks a lot is for Emma’s school stuff –pizza Fridays, field trips, tickets for the anything-but-Fun-Fair, etc.
I still write checks for bills that are mailed in, but I did stop using them at the grocery store
I write checks for piano lessons and anything at school. Sometimes we forget where we keep the blank checks though.
The Republicans want small government…so small it will fit into a woman’s vagina. I’m beyond the need for reproductive services, but I fear for our daughters.
I write 1 check a month…to the landlord.
My kids are old enough to have friends with babies. I get to see baby pics almost every day. I’m fulfilling my Grandma fantasies by snuggling with the new kitty. She’s sleeping in my lap right now.
I write paper checks. There are certain local businesses that I know get hurt by credit card fees, so I make a point of paying by check when I shop at them. I have to pay my mortgage by check because the people who process the payments are so stupid, if your payment arrives on line, a few days early, they apply it to your escrow instead of crediting you for making a payment, and it takes numerous angry phone calls and registered letters to show them their mistake and force them to retract the planned foreclosure of your house. (True story.)
That image of Freaky Friday (which was filmed at my son’s high school, BTW) makes me look at Lindsey Lohan and feel sad for her.
I have written 6 checks in the past 3 years.
My big toes have poked holes through my sneakers – time for me to go shopping, too.
I have ranted about men having sex with sluts on my blog today. (Because, according to Rush we are all slutty, whores for having sex without wanting babies.)
I totally believe the Kid is that age…because my Boy turned 5 just a bit ago. And quite frequently I have a “HOW THE HOLY HECK DID THAT HAPPEN” moment.
On the uteri, you should watch this:

Aw–kindergarten already!
I do love babies, too. I get to babysit a 6 month old baby on Saturday:)
AMEN to legislation staying out of my body parts.
And I do write paper checks. Without regret.
