i’ve been meaning to write a blog post all day but i’ve been distracted.  distracted by my gas filled, bloated stomach (tmi?) that makes strange noises and makes it impossible to sleep (both during the day and at night – i’ve tried both) and distracted by the death of RUE MCCLANAHAN.  it’s hard for me to imagine a world without blanche – i mean it would be like a world without brenda walsh.  i wonder if i’ll have time to obsess about these types of things once i’m a mom.  who am i kidding – i’ve got my priorities.

in order to distract myself from my distractions i’m thinking about the following things:

1. i just read THIS post by INDIANA, one of my favorite fashion bloggers who is now pregnant as well.  when doing research for where and how i wanted this baby to be born i quickly nixed one birth center when the home page loaded on my screen and featured walls painted with placenta.  yeah – no.

2. TODDLERS IN TIARAS has got to be the most upsetting show currently on television.  these girls and their moms are absolute terrors.  i saw currently because I DIDN’T KNOW I WAS PREGNANT: ON A BOAT doesn’t premiere until next week.  (as a side note…now that i’m actually pregnant – how the hell do these women not realize they are pregnant.  the fact that my stomach has popped is a sign for sure but if i didn’t know i was pregnant all of the puking and aching and exhaustion would lead me straight to a doctor…and i don’t go to doctors).

3. have you been watching the REAL HOUSEWIVES OF NYC???  what if my face does what BETHANNY’S face did?  this keeps me up at night (this AND the gas = a lethal combination).
