Parenting isn't all shite, I promise. Oh, and if you like Bob Dylan you may be interested in the new Bryan Ferry cd, Dylanesque. I'm not stalking. Really.

I'm so sorry you've had such an ordeal with the doctor! It's ridiculous and frustrating. I hope you get the answers you need and can come up with a plan of action. Andrea

Barf away! And yes, I do remember that! It's gotten a lot of love for such a little tree.

Sarah Silverman is so FOUL, yet so funny. I just love to be surprised and Sarah Silverman's show does that, which is why it's a keeper in our house.

umm....birds of prey? Seriously? I would have crapped my pants if I saw an owl flying after another bird - anywhere close to me!

Happy birthday, pretty lady!

I wear a DDD bra also and don't like it because there's such a small selection of DDDs and they tend to be expensive brands. My favorite so far is the Luniere brand, though I may not be spelling that right. They make excellent exercise bras as well, available through the Title Nine catalogue/website.

Kimmy is always right, and I agree with her about keeping your distance. I would also suggest that you stop going to lunch with that crazy cat lady, even if others will be there--it doesn't seem like there are enough people in the world to provide an adequate buffer zone for her. Also, I totally disagree with the statement that started everything. Totally!

Darlin, you could be pregnant already? This crazy tiredness of yours has me suspicious.

I'm proud of you for drawing that line with your friend, and I think you're right that she says those judgemental things to you because she's unhappy with her own life. She's had to convince herself that her life is virtuous so she can feel okay about living it, and your life is different than hers (and better) so she attacks you and your decisions to reinforce her feelings about her own virtue. My unsolicited advice to you: End the friendship; she will not be able/willing to abide by your terms of her not judging you. I apologize for weighing in on matters that are none of my business, but I've known people like your friend and they never change because they get so much out of judging others. My former best friend and I haven't spoken in years--she was all the time judging me and my decisions--and I have never once regretted that our friendship ended. Do what's best for you.

from tattoobelly :

Okay, first of all, I Rule your message section. Secondly, my sister went to college with Kim and is probably the same age of that annoying friend you met at the shower. It makes me wonder who it is and if I've met her...

from tattoobelly :

How RUDE that those people call you by a different name. I could understand if they were calling you a nickname, born from affection and whatnot, but to call you something else because they don't remember your name? Rude. I agree the Amy one is understandable, but that other women should be ashamed. You should start calling her Jennifer also.

from tattoobelly :

I've only just recently figured out how to deal with those negative type people, and it doesn't always work, but it does most of the time. When someone says something rude, as in your examples, I just tell myself (repeatedly if necessary) that what they just said is about Them, not about Me, and that helps me shrug it off. Pretty much you already said the same thing in your diary--that the reason they said what they said is because of where they are in life--so maybe this helps not at all, but I thought I'd mention it because I'm a busybody that way.

from tattoobelly :

Whoa, that fire story was scary! I'm glad there wasn't as much damage as there could have been.
