Touching a pregnant lady's belly isn't as creepy as you might think - unless you don't know said pregnant lady. In that case, it's pretty creepy.

Well, if I ever actually sign up for one of those 4 day breadmaking courses at Le Cordon Bleu (I've always wanted to learn to make croissants in Paris), I'll be sure to invite you so we can scrath #5 off your list of things to do before you die.

heh-heh...ready for some bunsies...

Here's the new word: squeezy.

"Mom, I like when the yogurt popcicles melt and get all squeezy."

I'd love to go with you for #6.

Hey - didn't you touch my pregnant belly? How can that be worse than watching my baby be born?

I thought your blog was going to be about Seven jeans.

A little disappointed ;o)

Carina said...

I'm pretty sure that Nigella and I were meant to be soul-sisters.

I hope that we have a stupid movie marathon in a couple weeks. May I recommend Glitter?

QueenScarlett said...

So what's your definition of a "man-whore". I find that coupling fascinating.

I appreciate #3 from things you can't do... I feel like I should wear a shirt with "private property" or "no friggin' trespassing".

And... my calling is bulletin board person/newsletter gal - I haven't gotten around to the pathetic looking board yet... thanks for the reminder. ;-) Honestly...I better get to it so they never take me off of this calling.

Steve--I can't get past the Alien imagery. It makes me cheeve.

~J--I touched your belly once, because you told me it would not be gross, and then I totally vomited in my mouth because I could not stop thinking of the idea that something was alive in you and you were going to expel it and take it home and love it and put it through college. The birth is satisfying--the foot sticking out through your SKIN is nasty.

Sug--I already have "14 children and pregnant again" and "Hell on high Heels: The Mary Kay Story" TiVoed for the marathon. I will add "Glitter" and "Mary Katherine Gallager:Superstar" to the list.

Guess how much this cost--I can't afford Seven Jeans.

Scarlet--It is exactly what it sounds like. He was a tramp. But he was MY tramp.

Lu--Eh. I can do bread at home. how about a chocolate course? And in Belgium, so we don't have to deal withthe French. Just the nearly-French.

Kayt said...

Chocolate? Belgium? Belgian Chocolate? I LOVE YOU!!!

But seriously, I could never take part in that adventure because I would spend the whole time in a very Homer-Simpson-Lusting-After-Donuts drool-fest. Needless to say you wouldn't want to admit knowing me :)

And BTW, 14 Children and Pregnant Again was brilliant (in a beautiful and entertaining Stepford way, of course). Have you TiVoed, or seen, "Raising 16 Children" -- the madness continues my friend, Praise the Lord!

Carina said...

It's like you're reading my mind.

I never had one stranger touch my belly while pregnant. Maybe it was the "Touch Me and I Will Slay You Where You Stand" look I cast about.

QueenScarlett said...

"Slay" is such a good word. I need to learn that look.

Bek said...

I never had anyone touch my belly either...but I am kind of in Yen's school. I barely wanted to think about the living thing in my belly...

Now I need to do mine...but it is harder then it looks.
