Wednesday Woes

Like the alliteration? I don't. It's cheesy. But whatever. Anywho...

How's the week going? We had our first pregnancy visit with the doctor yesterday. They confirmed that Melissa is indeed pregnant (whew) and told us to come back in a month. We were pleasantly surprised to discover they encourage natural childbirth, cuz we are gonna do this thing drug-free. Ok, Melissa is gonna do it drug free. I'm gonna be in there making sure they don't try to use some anyway. You gotta watch doctors - they'll do all sorta things you said not to, but they won't tell you before they do it.

So how'd you sleep last night? I was awake (or at least it felt like I was awake) for most of the night. I kept hearing things and having weird dreams, and then at 5:30 I woke up and couldn't go back to sleep. Strange things. My wife laughed when I told her that, because she's having weird dreams, too, but she's pregnant. Man, I sure hope I don't get a whole lot of sympathy symptoms. I've heard of guys developing breasts, lactating, craving strange food, and all sorts of stuff. That's scary.

I figured something out this morning on my drive to work. I know what embarasses me. Blowing my nose in public. I'd rather sniff all day long and sound gross than have to blow my nose in front of people. My eyes tear up, and my face gets twisted in a weird way, and I look pitiful. I don't usually care what people think about me, but that is one thing that gets to me. What about you? What embarasses you? Am I spelling that word wrong? It's a tough one for me, and I don't know why. That and mispell. I never know if it's right or not - heck, I don't even know if that one is right. Please help.

So what's going on in the world today? Here's a weird (that's my word today) one for you. A guy smuggled a MONKEY into the country by hiding it under his hat. Dude, get a life. What kind of person does that? Why? Did he get a rush by doing something illegal? Doesn't sound that exciting to me. What was he thinking? Oh yeah, I really want a monkey for a pet, but I don't want a regular American monkey, so I'll just break the law and bring one back from my business trip?! I mean, come on dude, get a life. I already said that. And what does that say about international security? If you can get a monkey through customs, couldn't you get a plastique explosive or something? Can you imagine the panic that could have followed if that thing had run loose in the plane? It was a tiny monkey, just a little bigger than a squirrel, so a lot of people could have mistaken it for something else, and been jumping all over the place. Seems like a stupid idea.

Something happens tomorrow. I mentioned it like a week ago, so I'm not gonna say what it is, but if you know, then I suggest you do something about it.

So what's happening the rest of the week? Bourne Ultimatum just came out - it's topping the box offices. Alread made like 80 million the first weekend. Melissa and I are gonna go see that and Rush Hour 3 this weekend. I think they're both gonna be good. I would write more, but lunch is calling my name, and I must answer. Later!
