I love you more than bunnies!

The title of this post came from a ridiculous commercial I saw on TV for Amazing Amanda, a cute little doll that talks. I was in fact disgusted by that line. But, that's what I have to look forward to...unless I have a boy :) Anyway...on to my promised topics:

1. Bad parenting moment - My mom and I went on a shopping trip to Motherhood Maternity because I'm starting to really not be able to fit the pants in my existing wardrobe. No, I haven't "popped" yet, but there are some issues. So anyway, there was this woman with two kids who were running all over the store most of the time we were there. They were probably around 4 or 5 years old. They were being a little loud, but nothing too bothersome. I assume the woman was their mother. As we were walking out, the mother tells them to be quiet or something, I think particularly talking to the little boy, and then follows it with "ya know, no one will miss you when you're gone". Okay, excuse me...I almost turned around to say that she needs to come up with a better method of getting her kids to calm down. Perhaps if the boy was older, like, not 5, it might be at least somewhat acceptable. But, I don't imagine a small child's brain can process that in any way where they could just shrug it off. However, it might not have even phased the kid because of his age. Well, it was just lame and I left the store and didn't say anything. It wasn't earth shattering so who am I to criticize someone else's parenting?

2. Organic milk - oh, it's gross. I didn't actually drink it though. I just smelled it. I have a very keen sense of smell which has been augmented by pregnancy I believe. I didn't like the way it smelled straight after getting it at the store. Thanks, but no thanks for the idea, mom.

3. Algebra and why I'm the shit - Sorry, I just had to brag about how bomb I was the other day when I was doing this math problem in a little IQ puzzle book I have (yes I do that type of thing for fun). It was a crazy problem in the vein of so-and-so had some amount of apples. He gave 1/2 to someone and 1/4 to someone then ate 2, then 1/2 of the amount he gave to the other dude plus something equals what number? Well, I came up with this convoluted, fraction-, parentheses- and bracket-ridden algebraic equation to supposedly solve the problem. Well, I totally solved it! I was sure it wouldn't work as I whittled it down and subtracted fractions and divided crap all over the place on either side of the equal sign. Now, mind you, I have taken a college math class within the last 5 years so I have brushed up on this stuff a little since last taking an algebra class in high school over 10 years ago. But, still. I'm the bomb.

4. Brief thoughts on pregnancy so far - sigh, I've written so much already, this will have to wait. Plus, I don't want this to become a pregnancy blog. Though, those of you reading will probably have to endure some stuff...I'll try to keep the "too much information" tidbits to myself and force my husband to listen to them at home.
