mark me as read. *shakes head.* okay, I warned you!

Wanna know a secret?

(Don't worry, this post is so not going to be like yesterday's post. I swear it!)

Confession: sometimes I have no idea what to blog about.

Unless I thought you wanted to hear about my monster cramps. Then, I would have something to say about how I am kind of delighted that there is still no fetus growing inside me. But, you wouldn't want to know that. Not necessarily.

I think I am about to be super exciting: I'll go lay in bed with a heating pad, the book I'm reading, and a crossoword puzzle. I will require hubs to bring me my dinner. Of course, I'd prefer to be spoon-fed large bites of his fanfrakingtastic chicken salad, but fear that this request may only result in hubs laughing at me.

In other news: I think I am depressed because I watched Up In the Air last night, and even George Clooney's crows feet wasn't enough to leave me with a warm fuzzie. That movie is straight.up.sad.

So, I am now going to eat chocolate covered advil tablets (they should totally make those, by the way) and laze away the painful hours until my uterus decides to be nice to me again.

Thank you for readingspice.

You crack me up! Ugh. Hate cramps. But crawling into a warm bed with a crossword puzzle and a good book sounds like heaven to me right now (minus the abdominal discomfort, bien sûr).

Hmmm...chicken salad sounds good...

Feel better!

Shitspice. I'm sorry you're feeling bad. I hate being on my girl. It sucks rocks.
I love crawling into bed with a heating pad. I think I might just go do that. I'm sorry you're feeling bad and hope you feel better soon.

I so don't miss thing. That's one of the benefits of getting old. :)

I empathize, in a men-really-don't-get-it kind of way.

"Up in the Air" sad? Really? You mean the end? You didn't see that coming all along?
Did you know there was a "Murder Scene" Blogfest going on now? Come check out my entry from my fantasy Titanic, RITES OF PASSAGE :

I haven't seen Up In The Air yet- and I'm glad that you warned me about the Sad. I don't DO SAD!
Good luck getting over your lady business. Make your Huz be your slave!

i have somehow managed to stop getting my terrible cramps.. i kind of think that might be bad and might be the reason i do not have a fetus inside of me.. i am starting to feel slightly sad i have no fetus.. but then again some months i have been very glad..but now after 6 months i am getting a little worried.

Nothing worse than cramps. I've got them myself right now. Thanks for the heads up about Up In the Air. I like being prepared for the sad ones.

BTW, I have an award for you over on my blog.

My uterus hates me, too.

Last time it had me crying at the end of The Little Mermaid.

fetal friday?

I know that I left everyone hanging yesterday. You know, when I went to pee on that stick. (That was mean of me. Not the peeing, but the leaving hanging.) Well, I think the big reveal is best expressed in letter form. Deep breath. Here goes. dear unborn baby daughter son or daughter, I take it back. I take back everything I said about not wanting kids. I was just scaredspice, and the slightest bit selfish, and maybe I had a giant fear of commitment. But, three positive test results in the last eighteen hours seem to say that you actually are in there, getting all comfy. I guess you'll probably be here in mid-December. I never thought about having a Christmas baby. (You've really put a wrench in my whole taking-maternity-leave-during-the-NCAA-tournament plan, but that's okay. At least it's basketball season. Don't tell Daddy yet, but you are going to cheer for the Indiana Hoosiers.) Speaking of Daddy, I take back all the mean things I've ever sa

Brett and Alice's Writing Style is the Real Crime Here

Here is a nearly sentence-by-sentence reconstruction of Brett and Alice's most recent episode of their podcast "The Prosecutors" - titled Adnan Syed is Guilty. I will not be utilizing the strikethrough in every sentence but will do so when I am compelled and will try to bold sections I've added. I've highlighted some of my favorite and most poignant edits.  I've tired and failed to stay away from a bit of snark. This endeavor was exhausting.  My work will illustrate how Brett Talley and Alice LaCour use narrative spin to bring you their version of events that they want to, for whatever reason, call "facts." I start just before the 4 minute mark.  Transcript So,, Adnan Syed and Hae Min Lee dated for quite some time  when they were in high school, starting around March 1998. They’d stay together for the next 9 months or so, though they broke up twice during that period.   They were on-again off-again until around Halloween and broke up for good before
