So I am pregnant and finding things are a little different this time around. When I was expecting my first two I put up the ultra-sound pictures and did not mind spilling my guts all over the place about the baby. Here is what I found; when you spill your guts too much you have nothing left inside to run on. This time around I don’t want the pictures up, I don’t want to know the sex, and I don’t want to discuss names with anyone. I have found all sorts of widgets I can put on my various pages discussing the baby, showing the baby in his or her growth stage. Not of that appeals to me anymore. Half of me is terrified someone will stalk me for my baby and the other half wants to just keep the information to myself. I’m wondering if this is a third child syndrome or a mental breakdown I am going through. Do you think too much information is being shared now about our children? Is there a line we should draw before putting all this information out there?

Seasonless Dressing
Two weeks ago I cleaned out my closet, which was a six hour ordeal. My closet is something to behold and quite possibly be ashamed of. Before you minimalists start shaking your clear coated nails at me…I did donated four garbage bags of clothes. As a former resident of Michigan I am used to clearly defined seasons, which does not always happen in Maryland. It usually goes something like wearing sandals from May until the middle of October and then suddenly pulling out those winter boots. Granted a very nice mild winter. As a result I have never changed the clothes in my closet from season to season. What I have is out all the time. Ok, I do have some space for it but not a ton. Having plenty of friends who change their closets every season I was more than interested to read an article about seasonless dressing…http://news.independent.co.uk/europe/article3041049.ece. So my question to you all is how many of you rotate your clothes? How many like the idea of being able to wear everything you have all the time? Or is it a great surprise to pull out those clothes you haven’t seen in awhile? I also have a challenge to you all; grab a friend, pull them into your closet and have them help you weed out all those close you never wear. Make sure you grab someone tougher than you are because letting go of those clothes can be like losing a limb. A friend of mine also suggest turning all your hangers in one direction and them turning them back as you wear a piece of clothing. Anything you did not wear during the year needs to go. Alright get to it.
I am doing a complete 360
I have been having some problems sleeping last night. A mature way to handle this situation would be to do some stretches, take a warm bath, and then meditate. Instead I chose to think about everything in life that bothers me. Including the annoying things I do and or say. The first is when some explains how they have turned their life around by saying they have done a complete 360. I am horrible at math but wouldn’t you be back to where you started? In reality you haven’t done a damn thing. Basically you are telling someone you have worked really hard to not get anywhere. I think i’ll start telling people I have done a 45, changed enough but not so much that I had to work really hard.
Growing up I used to love to buy things with the Guess logo, fortunately my mom didn’t buy us a lot of crap like that. You were seriously “in” when you wore shirts and sweatshirts with a logo on them from an “in” brand. It never occurred to me how ridiculous this is until my friends father pointed out that I was paying to advertise for the company. Now wearing American Eagle, Hollister, and Abercrombie is the complete obsession for teenagers. I can remember begging for a pair of $40 jeans and that is a drop in the bucket now. The big difference now? Girls are paying to advertise for these companies by wearing the logos on their booties. Seriously? I am going to give you money so I can wear your name on my ass?
Annoying thing number three, how I start sentencing out by saying “I’m not going to lie…” I can’t stop myself from doing this. Here is an example, “I’m not going to lie, that is the funniest movie ever”. Why in the hell would I lie about that. Annoying.
You would think that this type of thinking would keep me up at night…nope. I feel asleep rather quickly, well after I made my list.
