Sex and the City

Alright, I have a somewhat guilty confession to make.

I love Sex and the City.

There. I said it.

Yes, I am a nice Christian girl and yes, I do enjoy Sex and the City.

Does this make me a terrible person?

I don’t believe it does.

True, the “sexcapades” featured in the show and movie are not things I would condone myself…but I don’t watch it for that.

I watch it for the friendship, the fashion, and the wonderful realization that women who are quite different can bond together.

I am an adult. I am able to filter out the bad and enjoy the good. So I will be going to see Sex and the City 2 with a couple girl friends next Thursday night.

I am looking forward to a night out with the girls. I don’t do it often. We are having cosmopolitans at my place and then going to the theater.

In the celebration of women being friends and not enemies…cheers to SATC!

A Friday Rant

I prefer to keep my blog upbeat because general that is how I tend to be. However there are times where a gal just needs an outlet to rant....Today is one of those days.

So with coffee and chocolate at hand (yes, chocolate at 6:30 am) I will write what is bothering me.

Alright, mine isn't this big...but I totally wish it was!!!

My cousin “M” is constantly griping about her child being sick or her child not sleeping. I do sympathize with needing a place to let out frustrations (ahem, I’m doing it here) but at what point is it just too much?


A few days ago her status on facebook said- “Why does being a mother have to suck SO MUCH sometimes?!?!”


Really?!? Being a mother sucks so much? Try being infertile! (I didn't really say that to her.) What I did do was make an effort to be calm, to let it slide. But who am I kidding? I'm an over-thinker. So I am still dwelling on how insensitive that statement was.


It hurt me because I dream of being a mother. I pray there is a way and that God will provide. Being a mother, for me, will NOT suck.


I am not saying I’ll enjoy every last second. I’m not saying that I will have a huge smile on my face when my child poops all over the floor. I’m just saying that because of my struggle I’m going to be thankful for all the little things motherhood brings.


Then another thought came upon me. She has roughly 600 friends on her facebook. Chances are I am not the only one who is struggling with infertility. Who else’s heart broke when reading her status?


I’ll admit at times I have a flair for the dramatics...


But this statement hurt me even more now that I’ve “met” so many wonderful bloggers who struggle with and write about infertility. I can’t believe what some people will say and how truly insensitive their comments can be.


I didn’t say anything to M concerning her status. I haven’t shared my infertility with the extended family and they are all on facebook so I chose to keep my mouth shut.


It feels better already to just air my frustration out via this blog...thank God for this means of expressing myself!!!

Thank you for listening blogger friends! :)

The Facebook Phenomena

I am still slightly in awe of who you can find on facebook.

I went to a boarding school my freshmen year of highschool and my best friend whom I’ve had no contact with since that time found me! I was so shocked!

We hadn’t been able to find each other initially because we are both married now and our last names changed…but I recently included my maiden name on my profile and because of that she recognized me.

There are other cases where I’ve been found by old neighborhood friends or old friends from dance class. Heck, I even found a Great Aunt! I think it is fantastic.

I mean, sure, you get those requests from people whom you really don’t want to “friend” because you feel you barely know them…BUT all of those random requests are worth it when the true gems pop up.

Having moved around a lot as a kid I sometimes find that there is a void that needs to be filled concerning my childhood friends...facebook has allowed me to reconnect with them and I no longer wonder where they ended up or how they are doing.

Do any of you have cool facebook stories? Have you found a long lost friend via the world wide web?
