What's another way of saying "shut your mouth bitch"?

So I've got to know... does anyone reading this blog have the nerve to say to someone who looks pregnant "how far along are you?" I'd like to think that I certainly wouldn't! I ask only because one of my dear friends just called to tell me this quite comical story:

Just this week, she has been asked by two different people on two consecutive days if she is PREGNANT. The catch is, she's not pregnant. I guess I can see why people would want to ask - because she is always beautiful, smiling and glowing and like she really is expecting a wee one.

So here's the funny part... The first time this week she was asked the dreaded question was by a potential client - so what does she say?? Well, she said "yes" to save any embarrassment for either party. Otherwise, you run the risk of making the other person feel really bad and awkward (but at least they'd learn their lesson!) However, I think it would be funny to see the reaction to a response of a disgusted "NO!" Of course, you'd both have to have a good laugh afterwards to dispell any tension.

When I was talking to her on the phone she was heading to the blender to make a shake to replace her lunch, but I'm sure she would prefer cake and pastries and such after such an incident.

Well my friend, if you're reading this - you are lovely, fabulous, fun, and caring, and I love you to bits!

    OMG, that is lame. Next time, I suggest saying something like, "No, they won't let me around babies. Anymore." And then part your lips just so, and place your tongue just behind your lips.
    Or say, "That? Oh, that is my food baby."
    Either way, let them have it. People still ask this question? Srsly? C'mon ppl, really?

What am I doing?

I am a bad, bad, blogger. To ease myself back into it, and to earn back some blogger karma, here is a nifty update for everyone. What Jessica is: Watching: OMAR!! Brendan and I just watched Aziz Ansari's comedy central special and it was fu-u-un-ny! I tried to find a youtube clip to no avail, and comedy central are a bag of dicks to Canadians so I instead offer you an equally hilarious Human Giant sketch. Of particular note: I am simultaneously adding the entire cast of The Wire AND Human Giant to my "List". Rick Mercer is out, Aziz Ansari & Company are in. Reading: Committed , by Elizabeth Gilbert of Eat, Pray, Love fame. 'Twas good. She is a rock star . Writing & Obsessing over: Emails to peeps about grad schools . Ugh. I am a master obsesser and procrastinator, which means I will wake up at 3 am and ream myself out about the day I wasted doing yoga and singing songs to the dogs instead of getting down to business. Tomorrow, people. For re...

Hairy Mary on the Sugar Cane

530pm Sunday, got into Innisfail with Ross and Lisa today about 2pm and have just been chilling out. They have a beautiful bit of property surrounded by sugar cane. Just had a chat with my Dad on the phone and he warned me not to go walking through the sugar cane as nasty beasties live in there - I mentioned this to Lisa, and she said that not only are there nasty beasties, there is "hairy mary" on the sugar cane which sticks in your skin like fibre glass! Yuck! I happened upon a really cute little bird while looking from my hotel balcony yesterday - it's called a Willy Wag Tail! Pictured above. They land, and swish/wag their long tails around and just look so funny and adorable! Also pictured above: those prehistoric birds/bats I saw flying around outside the hotel - they're actually called fruit bats, or flying foxes and they're everywhere! You must be careful walking under their trees! This morning we had to check out from the hotel, so I did a complete...

Having just gotten back from Ottawa helping Andrew install a couple displays, I sit here while he naps pondering my near future. Jesse, we ought to be ashamed of ourselves - Dec 1 was last post!! If not for Danielle bugging me to write in the blog again you all might not have had the pleasure of knowing my thoughts and feelings at this current moment. Lucky you. I have lived in Toronto since March 23rd 2009. I moved here on a whim - was leaving the house Katie G and I had in Woodbridge and going out on my own. It's been alright - I know that I really love living surrounded by all MY own things (since there is no "our") - something I've never felt before. Makes you feel more at home. But alas, work has been dodgy to say the least, and my self motivation is questionable. I am moving to Barrie to live with one of my special lady friends, Katie Kirk. She is lovely, adorable, hard working, positive, funny, outgoing, and motivated. These are allllllll good things...
