ND makes news today on CNN

For a mummified dinosaur... see! Our state IS interesting!

:)

OW! My cervix!

I think this documentary looks absolutely fascinating and I want to see it. I am shocked by what I'm hearing in this preview alone-- ummm performing pelvic exams on unconscious, un-consenting women? -- creepy!! But the idea of doctors all learning how to provide better healthcare to women-- SWEETNESS.

Plus it's called "At your Cervix" -- frickin' genius!

Yeah, I know it's kind of an unseemly topic (I was sort of ... clenched... through most of this preview) but I still think its important to see and VERY important that our culture move past this ridiculous (and irrepsonsible) fear of all things anatomically female--- No more "hoo haa monologues!" It's a vagina... get over it.

Just a thought....

Careful kiddies, Elmo may be covered in a date rape drug!

When are we going to start making toys in the US again? I mean... we've had HOW many recalls now for toys with lead paint? And now this INSANITY --- seriously, we are now finding date rape drugs basically on children's toys.

Who's for something made in the good ol' USA?



ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sad for the Day

I called 9-1-1 tonight. And when they picked up and said "9-1-1 Emergency," I seriously almost peed my pants.

Balls.

You see -- I'm an on-call advocate for a crisis line. Tonight I got a call from someone who said they were "gonna slit their wrists." When that happens you try and "contract" with them. You say something like, "Can you promise me that you will be safe and take care of yourself until tomorrow when we can see you at our office?"

She said no.

So I had to call 911.
And she was a minor.
And that probably means they hauled her off to juvie.
Which I bet is really helpful--- not.

I feel useless.

I'm ready to get married

I realized it this morning when Tyler brought me breakfast in bed.

Pancakes AND eggs-over-easy AND a big glass of orange juice.

That's true love, folks.



My future husband and me

The post with too much stuff

Warning: This post contains several you tube videos, photos and links... and also was written when I was not feeling so good... take it or leave it...

First Rant: I need to NOT watch the news. It's making me a crazy person. Not only that, I need to stop reading the local paper. There's been nonsense in this area for weeks regarding a statue of the Ten Commandments on public property. Grrrrrrr! If I have to read one more letter to the editor about how "you either follow God or follow Satan" I am going to personally track these people down and beat their door down with a Bible so they can read it. Like, really read it. I am not personally offended by the Commandments or anything-- but they obviously have no place on public property.

Second Rant: MEDIA and Paris Hilton. I really like this woman anchor, Mika Brzenzinski... when she loses it over the Paris Hilton story.


Okay enough ranting. You have to forgive me cause I'm in a bad place --- womanly speaking. I want to go to Target and buy a kiddie pool and fill it with Ben&Jerry's ice cream. Would that be so wrong? I ask you-- Grrrr.

Not much is new with me. Working away -- enjoying hanging with the delinquents. I also like to amuse myself with some new endeavors that include:

Gardening: Obviously I have no garden—merely a second floor apartment. I have a window box with petunias and butterfly daises (which are a little tired looking at the moment) and a pot with Gerber daisies and white geraniums. So far I haven’t killed any of them. They bring me joy. I also have two pet rocks.



Shopping: I have a problem. Really! But I am enjoying adding new and crazy stuff to my wardrobe. My latest funny purchase – a 3 foot tall lighted palm tree (it serves as an excellent nightlight) and a necklace that reads “F-BOMB.” Every time I put it on, I feel better. *click to enlarge to see FBOMB in all her glory*





Being excited: There are lots of things I’m excited about. It’s summer and therefore nice out, so that in itself is exciting. Fourth of July is coming up and that should be good. Also in July, there’s a wedding in the cities. I enjoy weddings. There is good food, fun clothes, dancing- does it get better? Then in September Laura & Jim get married--- HOORAY! Also happening in September, my internship is done (sad) but I will likely start a new job then (exciting).

You know what excites me the most? ***********Harry Potter********. Yeah. I’m a nerd. The movie and the book have me totally psyched. If anyone ruins either with spoilers, I will smoosh them. Well you can’t really spoil the movie, seeing as how I’ve read the book -- but the last book... NO ONE give away ANYTHING. You hear me?!

Lastly I love Elizabeth Edwards for standing up to Ann Coulter. I’m so sick of Coulter’s nasty, school-yard bully behavior.



I also love Kathy Griffin for skewering Coulter— scratch that-- I just love Kathy Griffin in general.

Holy Crap

I'm on CNN!!! Seriously.

Damn that facebook.

It's a story about a guy who wrote an article in a college newspaper called "Rape Only Hurts if You Fight It." I took serious objection to statements he made like this one:


He said it especially benefited ugly girls. BOO.

So here's me on CNN -- crazy huh?
