someone mentioned a Paris/Paris pool and it got me thinking. it’s totally time for a baby pool. with just over 9 weeks left…it’s not too early. so….i need your guess on: sex day weight length time the winner will get a prize. i need time to think of something good…but trust me…it will be good! [...]
…is on the mend. we could tell that she started feeling better yesterday afternoon (unsurprisingly 24 hours after we started the antibiotics) when she began bouncing around the house. no joke. she was bouncing. like Tigger. I guess she was sick and tired of being sick and tired i’m happy to say that she can [...]
Paris Hilton is engaged to her boyfriend of five months, Greek shipping heir Paris Latsis. Latsis, 27, proposed on Wednesday, the day Hilton, 24, returned home to Los Angeles after a three-week trip to Europe, where she promoted her thriller House of Wax and her new fragrance. The couple celebrated yesterday with a barbecue for [...]

i feel like i’m the only one plagued with this problem. i can’t drink water that has been in the fridge and has not been 100% sealed, like as in, let’s say, a Brita. or a pitcher. ew. the water then has that fridge taste. ew.
or just having a really baggy day?? any thoughts??
watch out…it seems to be habit-forming!! so, to put it mildly, my daughter has a flair for the dramatics. that’s putting it VERY mildly. so, we didn’t really think twice when she complained that her eye was hurting her on sunday morning. nor did we blink (no pun intended) when she refused to open her [...]

1. Would you ever answer your cell phone if it rang while you were in a public restroom? What if you were in the privacy of your own bathroom at home… would you answer it then? no and no. the bathroom is not the place for a phone conversation. yuck. and at home? why on [...]
how does one go from this: to this: ??
no joke. so last night, one of my sisters in law calls to ask me some chicken questions. she was having people over who only eat vegetables that grow above ground and some other craziness…but i was in the middle of a heated argument with my mother (well, not really…she was yelling and i was [...]

well…I’m undeniably pregnant. A man even gave up his seat for me on the shuttle bus at the airport. Of course, because I don’t like special treatment like that, I refused the seat and stood uncomfortably for 20 minutes. in Atlanta, a good friend of our family’s, Jeff Korotkin, who is also an Ob, gave [...]
i’ll admit it, i watched most of the 2-hour finale in fast forward. it was just too much filler. my favorite part of the entire night? Paula’s completely fake, painted-on smile when Carrie won. Classic. Oh, Nikko. i love you. i really wish he had stayed in the competition longer. Leandra Jackson singing the national [...]

here it is, folks. prepare to laugh. We are publishing a book with a picture of a chimpanzee in it. unfortunately, because the chimp is standing straight up, his bits are showing in all their glory. and this book is for first-graders. this is not good. my job today is to figure out if we [...]
~~Let’s pray that the Jared Leto/Lindsay Lohan rumors are NOT true. How can someone who looks this good when he’s completely bald be involved with scary Lindsay??? ~~Let’s pray that Britney continues to get bigger by the minute. i, for one, am thoroughly enjoying this. ~~Let’s pray for Mary Kate and the giant. I hope [...]
Okay, how badly do the two original songs suck?? i really really hope that neither one of these will go on to become the winner’s (aka Bo’s) first single. and was i the only one who thought Bo’s final song was horrible?? i was expecting the judges to pan him, but they all lurved him. [...]

I QUIT. i’ve given up on The English Patient. i vow to rent the movie, so at least i can find out how it ends (and at least Ralph Fiennes is in the movie so it will most likely be mildly entertaining…) i read the entire Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants on the airplane on [...]
so, my friend Heather works at an upscale maternity store in Atlanta, so of course, while i was there, i went to visit her and to take advantage of her 30% family discount. i ended up getting some really awesome stuff, including this great pair of capri jeans. i love them. the only problem is [...]
with things to blog about. so many things happened over this weekend. first of all, my entire family forgot to wish me a happy birthday. i felt like i was in a really twilight zone-y version of Sixteen Candles. no joke. everyone forgot and then they all left to go see Star Wars and called [...]
It has been reported to me that Alicia Martell is parking in Visitor parking daily –I understand she is pregnant, but this is not a reason for parking in Visitor parking. We have many pregnant employees and only allow them to park in Visitor parking a week or so before their birth date, or during [...]

come on, who’s with me? did you not just want to smack her when she was going and on about the freakin’ circle?? yes, we get it, Tana. You invented the circle. now sit down and shut the hell up. and did anyone catch trump when he said “apprentice musical?” what now? musical? first lord [...]
this time it comes from my sister. one would think after living in Nashville for quite some time, she would catch on to some clearly southern phrases, like y’all. instead, she’s adopted the term “your guyses” what??? she was talking on the phone and said, “Jon, my friend Rebecca is going to your guyses church [...]
can someone please please please please tape or tivo or pvr desperate housewives and grey’s anatomy for me???? it would be the best birthday present ever! Thanks!

Okay, so i’ve been trying to read the English Patient for quite some time now, and i’m only about 150 pages in. (granted, i did put it down to read The Rule of Four) i’m usually a quick reader so this is really pissing me off. and i appreciate good works of literature. i just [...]
…a swift kick in the nuts. (you know who you are!!) last night he says to me: “Wow, you’ve gained so much more weight that you gained with your last pregnancy.” okay, first of all, not what any pregnant woman likes to hear, whether it’s true or not. and second of all, it’s actually not [...]
well…he’s sportin’ something!! and it looks like Mary Kate saves her best outfits for Paris: maybe she should be getting fashion tips from America’s worst-dressed preggo: Britney? 1985 called. it wants its dress back. and in VERY unsurprising news, Desperate Housewives” actor Cody Kasch was arrested last night after he was caught smoking a joint [...]

it’s most likely because there’s just no room to put any food into my body, but i’m totally over food. completely. there’s nothing that i want to eat. when i think about all my favorites (well, at least all my preggo favorites), i shudder. sushi? no way! cereal? ew. too sweet. peppers? uh-uh. mexican? blech. [...]
I made two purchases this week that have pretty much saved my life. the first is a body pillow. i used it last night for the first time, and had the most glorious sleep. I didn’t toss and turn. i just went right to sleep. what a pleasure! i can’t believe i didn’t invest in [...]
Did anyone else feel like the judges were basically handing Bo this competition?? Vonzell – i thought she was good tonight. but, the judges have been pimping a Carrie/Bo final 2, so no matter what baby V brought last night, she’ll still be voted out tonight. Bo – loved “don’t let the sun go down [...]

Today i have been married for 7 years. holy crap. 7 years. and just how are we celebrating this momentous occasion? by going to a charity dinner with 500 of our nearest and dearest. Actually, we could possibly be the only people under 50 there. boy, am i excited. (and just in case you aren’t [...]

just want to give a shout out to my friends Sharon and Zvi who had a baby boy last night. oooh..i can’t wait to see him!!!
Lindsay Lohan certainly has been looking anything but pretty these past few weeks. she seems to be dwindling into some sort of freckled Mary-Kate…with horrible blond hair… but, you can rest assured. Lindsay drinks! Lindsay eats! but, she still looks crappy.
the girl got herself a day off today. but the way i look at it, it’s really a punishment for both her and my nanny. i really don’t understand. it’s quite simple actually. i have the kids from the time they wake up until 8 every morning. i give them breakfast and get emily dressed. [...]
Okay…last night i was out to dinner with my family, and when i walked in the door my nanny was watching survivor and i walked in to see the final 2…argh…i was so upset…but also trying to figure out how that happened. so, i watched the end and then went back and watched the beginning [...]

~~Okay, so Kendra’s task looked slightly easier than Tana’s, but could they have possibly made viewers despise Tana any more??? I wanted to throw things at my tv, she was upsetting me so much. from her cocky-ness to her bad-mouthing of the people WHO WERE WORKING FOR HER, Tana was an complete arse last night. [...]
~~ I can’t figure out Ian. is he just stupid? did he and Tom not decide that it would be best if one of them won to take a female? was he just upset with katie and wanted to stick it to her? and why the hell can’t the women EVER get their acts together? [...]

and I lived to tell about it.. well, the good news is that the Martell household is now officially stomach virus free. You can’t actually see it, but I’m doing a happy dance, right at this moment Yesterday was a nightmare. I spent the day in bed with season 4 of Sex and the City. [...]

~~Renee Zellweger sure moves fast. The Oscar-winner, 36, and country star Kenny Chesney, 37, got hitched yesterday on St. John in the U.S. Virgin Islands. The couple has only known each other for four months!! You think Renee has gone the way of Britney and Jennifer Garner??? ~~So, Oprah reveals her “deep, dark secret”: “Stedman [...]
so, i always schedule my OB appointments for 2pm, right when they all come back from lunch. it’s seemed to work the best for me, and it means that i get to leave work early, which is always a plus. i always get there a few minutes early. they don’t open the doors until about [...]

E! online has come and said that Jennifer Garner is 3-months pregnant.
~~ I love me some Desperate Housewives, but last night’s episode wasn’t its usual great. the husband thinks it has jumped the shark…i’m hoping it’s just making way for a kick-ass season finale. let’s hope that i’m right and he’s wrong. ~~ “You can have an affair with anyone you want, and you choose a [...]
i hope all you mommies out there had a terrific mother’s day. Mine…well…it certainly wasn’t terrific. my two little ones are both coming off the stomach flu. the boy is afraid to use the bathroom and the girl is milking this sickness for all it’s worth. and then, wonder of wonders, my dear hubby wakes [...]

ha! They even caught it on video. check it out here. you won’t be sorry.
Maybe it’s the pregnancy bringing out my inner bitch. But, i’m about ready to strangle someone right now. I was so excited to go down to the employee store…since it’s been 6 weeks since i’ve gone, and i stood in line (ever so patiently…which was tough, since my patience is beginning to wear thin as [...]
~~my favorite line (besides the above one, of course) was when Seth said Zach’s hair was Shaun Cassidy. ~~what’s with this “I’m a waterpolo player, we’re never nice” bullshit?? Zach is nice. period. ~~Caleb and Julie are just annoying. get divorced already. or kill Caleb already. just do something please. ~~Theresa? returns? yikes! ~~Okay, i [...]
~~what a great episode. the husband and i replayed Jenn’s face as Gregg was snuffed. it was downright demonic. she’s pissed. and she was totally blindsided. AWESOME!! i love it! ~~and why is Katie still so fat? no one lives out in the wilderness for that long and keeps that much flab on her body. [...]
~~so, straight and to the point, Craig is given the big ole’ heave ho. “Craig, all the executives agreed you suck, so get the hell out of my office.” obviously, not TRump’s actual wording, but that sure was what he was saying! ~~the return of Danny makes me cringe. he seriously needs to stop singing [...]

Here it is, folks! The home stretch. The lovely third trimester. so, this is my third pregnancy, and for the third time, i am carrying the baby high (so don’t start guessing if it’s a girl or a boy, since i have one of each…). I don’t experience that frequent need to pee. heck, i [...]
for small favors. buh-bye Scary Scott Savol.
you know what totally irks me? when someone forwards you an email that you’ve already gotten. case in point. my boss does this ALL THE TIME. someone will send an email to both me and her and then she doesn’t look to see that it’s already been sent to me, so she sends it to [...]

What disease Katie Holmes picked up in Rome?? ew. hope she didn’t get that from Tom…
now that we know about Britney Spears and her little bun, we can move on to other speculations. What thinks you? preggers? yay or nay? i say no…but then again…i was wrong about Britney. and speaking of everyone’s favorite pregnant lady (well, except for me, of course), can someone please teach Mrs. Federline how to [...]
~~ew. some random woman’s lipstick. i would have hoped that the beauty queen would have had more sense than that. ew. too bad it didn’t help with her acne. ~~anyone else catch Rob say “Devish?” ~~i want to give Uchenna a hug. he was so sweet to try and help Gretchen and Meredith. and Gretchen [...]
the round-up: Anthony – this boy sure can bring the suck, can’t he? he’s so going home tonight. Scott – his first song, i will admit, was quite good. one of his best. but, was that make-up he was wearing? women’s make-up? and did someone wax his eyebrows? i thought his second song was god-awful, [...]

remember when i stole the chair?? well…i put my old crappy chair at this other desk, and today when i walked by, i noticed that my old crappy chair has been replaced by a brand spanking new chair. why is it that i had that piece of shit for an entire year… holy crap!! today [...]
Last night i went to see The Interpreter. It was surprisingly entertaining. Mind you, i was distracted by the fact that Nicole Kidman’s birdlike legs are about as tall as Sean Penn and the fact that her hair was in a different place each time the camera cut to her and the fact that her [...]
Set to the song “I Love Paris in the Springtime,” the Carl’s Jr. 30-second commercial spot shows Hilton washing a car “with hoses shooting everywhere and her soaping everything up,” said the source. Touting the BBQ Six Dollar Burger, it plays off her catch phrase, “That’s hot.” The restaurant is no stranger to politically incorrect [...]
