Holy Smokes. I forgot...

Seriously.. I can't believe i did, but it happens..
So I had a doc appointment yesterday morning and that threw everything out of wack. My appointment was at 9:45. Of course I had a little break down yesterday morning. See, I have mentioned that my boyfriend and I have decided that we want to get pregnant. This is a huge decision for both of us as we have both been single (well within our committed relationship) and fancy free, me for 35 years and him for 39. You tend to get used to things you do for so many years, hence why we are not married... (but that's for a different day... ANYWHOOO)
So, we decide this a few months ago, plan when we want to start trying and went about our merry lives as if nothing has happened. Now, here we are VERY CLOSE to the trying time.
Flashback about a year and that movie Knocked Up comes out. All our friends say it is cute, we should see it, whatever. My boyfriend isn't really into the girlie flicks, as most guys, so we never see it. No biggie. Two nights ago, he comes home with a free video rental from one of those McDonalds video rental kiosks. I think great, I like movies and especially when they are free. He got Knocked Up. I thought it was a cute gesture, so we put it in. It's cute up till it gets well, for this chick, a little too real. I mean i was in college and moving around the country when my sister was pregnant all three times. I was not even in the state each time her kids were born. I have some girl friends, but not friends that are that close and i have some aquantiences that have been pregnant, but running into them every five months, doesn't give you an insight to what the heck is going on.. So, by the end of the movie, i was in tears, and told my boyfriend, before storming off to bed, that if he wanted a child, he could have it himself and I was out of this deal.
Needless to say the next morning I was completely freaked out. I mean there are certain things i know, like i know it is going to be painful, I am not afraid of that. I am not scared of being uncomfortable, I am not even really afraid of the birth, I will wait until later for that to freak me the hell out, but for now, my fear is that I am going to just get CRAZY!!! I really don't want to be a crazy irrational woman, I just really don't. (shut up, I know what you are thinking and No I AM NOT!!) there, that should convince you~
When i went to my doc yesterday, her exact words were "What were you thinking?" I said I didn't pick it out, She said What was he thinking??? I don't know the answer to that.
Then she said, don't watch it again, and you will be fine. To be honest, that's all i needed to know. She said that many women have said they were scared off by that movie. Glad I am not alone, but my question is, is that the first sign of going crazy??? Oh Crap am I already there?????
GREAT.
Anyway, when I got to work, it was so late and I was so confused that by the time snack time came around I didn't realize it until 2:30 and well, you know the routine around here, that's way to late to get a snack and yeah, they were all gone.. Nothing even on the table to let me know what it even was. I hate when that shit happens.

I am really ready to not have to come to work for a few days. It is Friday and I am excited, just want to get home and forget that I have to work for a living.

Now, for those of you at home that are keeping my score cards:

I made it, now excuse me while i go callapse


YEAH, friday is here, and i am EXHAUSTED..
I don't know why, but i feel that i could get in bed and sleep for a few days.. awake looking as fresh as Joan Rivers. That sounds like a great idea.. But no.. I am sure there are other things to do.

This weekend we are not really doing a lot. A friend is coming to town saturday, well he lives in the mountains, so coming to Denver, is like getting to the big city.. but he will be down sometime that day to see a band with us that night at an opening for a new club. Should be good music. Steve Kimock, Melvin Seals, Bobby Vega, John Molo and Jpoan Osborn are all playing together to open this bar... Three nights, but we can only stand to do one. Saturday is it.

Other than that, I don't have really anything planned. It is back in the 50's again after reach 81 the other day, so i can't put the winter clothes away yet, and the summer ones are making their first appearances for the season.. the closet is getting over full to say the least.

OK, I am being lazy again today and will cut this short instead of making you hear all the ramblings that are going on in my head.. It's nothing interesting, believe me..
So here's the stuff you don't already know about today.

Today is National Arbor Day, a day to honor and plant trees since 1872.

Today is National DNA Day, a day for students, teachers and the public can learn more about genetics and genomics. (wonder what Morey Povich thinks about that)

Today is Old-Time Baseball Day. According to some old newspaper articles, baseball was being played as early as this date in 1823 in what is now the Greenwich Village area of New York City. (I love me some baseball)

Today is Flag Day in Swaziland, Liberty Day in Portugal, Sinai Day in Egypt, and Liberation Day in Italy.

Today is Duck Appreciation Day. Go ahead, feed the ducks. (or whatever…some think they are delicious)

The Interstate Mullet Toss begins today in Pensacola, Florida. Fish flingers stand in Alabama and toss mullets into Florida (and I first thought it was a hair throwing competition.. now that would be a sight to see...)

1982: Jane Fonda released her first workout video. (And I would never be the same after seeing my friends mom doing the tape in the living room with her leotard on… I shudder even now thinking about it)

1985: "Big River: The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" opened on Broadway. The score was written by country composer Roger Miller.

1988: Sonny Bono was elected mayor of Palm Springs, California. In 1994 he was elected to Congress. He died in a skiing accident in 1997.

1988: Whitney Houston released her second album, "Whitney," which included a duet with her mother Cissy. The solo "Where Do Broken Hearts Go" became Whitney’s seventh #1 single in a row. (and the rest is cocaine history- “Crack is wack”)

1990: Drummer Mitch Mitchell sold the late Jimi Hendricks’ Fender Stratocaster guitar to an undisclosed buyer in London for $338,580. It’s the guitar Jimi used to play the "Star Spangled Banner" at Woodstock.

1991: Britain’s Broadcasting Standards Council proclaimed that the cult TV soap opera Twin Peaks was in bad taste, and that an episode depicting a man being beaten to death went "beyond all acceptable limits." (Wow, what would they say now???)

1999: Troy Cooper of Columbia, South Carolina, said he’d been offered $100-thousand and two Buicks for his 1981 Toyota Corolla, but he wasn’t about to sell it. The car was covered with trinkets: earrings, fishing lures, beads, marbles — 33,000 doodads stuck on with ceramic tile glue. Friends gave him most of the trinkets.

2003: Southwest Airlines fired two pilots for "inappropriate conduct" after they removed all or most of their clothes mid-flight in the cockpit of a Boeing 737. The pilots claimed they spilled coffee on their clothes, but the airline ruled the prank went too far. The US Federal Aviation Administration said though rules forbid behavior that distracts crew members, there was no specific ban on flying naked.

2003: Georgia lawmakers voted to take the Dixie cross from the state's flag.
