ABN started making lists in the middle of the night.  that is what he does when he wakes up and feels stressed.  he then promptly fell back asleep – leaving me awake and stressed.  camp starts in just a month and there’s a shit load to do.  stomach aches? check.  dreams about losing my teeth? check. yep, there’s a lot going on.

i have spent quite a bit of time complaining on this here blog about jon and kate plus 8.  about how much i dislike kate (come on, she yelled at him for breathing too loudly) and about how fascinated i am by these people who are fairly close to my age but have 8 children (god forbid!).  but most of the time, its like an accident i can’t look away from…until now.

WTF: how can jon be cheating on kate?! or can he?  the thing is, what i think i’m realizing (after 1/2 a bottle of wine, quite a bit of cheese and a really really long day of work) is that what makes jon and kate and theire entire humongous family so gosh darn interesting is that they are so different from everyone else.  it’s not just their numbers although that too is shocking, but rather, the fact that they are together and stick together through all her bitchiness and all the dirty diapers that make them different.  i think what is so not at all interesting is that maybe that aren’t so different.  that’s just sad.  and truthfully, at the end of it all, it makes me want to change the channel.  its like heidi and spencer.

two more things before i leave you for the night…

1. i’m catching up on HOUSE – still the best show on tv.  even if we’re dealing with ghosts (grey’s anatomy) i’d take hugh laurie over anyone other than anthony lapaglia…any day

2. BEX is leaving SF. not til summer, and probably not until half way through but it makes me sad – now.  sure, part of it is that we just shared cheese and wine and gossip (does it get any better?) but also because, this year has been about a lot of new beginnings and our friendship was a big part of that.  i know i have the job and other friends, and i also know that BEX and i will stay connected, even if it is across the country.  but she’s become a big part of my SF story, and it’s not going to feel the same without her….
