Was I supposed to eat something other than chocolate while pregnant? It’s not my fault! It’s ORGANIC, DARK chocolate and they said it was good for me! See Week 34
Parties where no one drinks and everyone cries and complains about their life are not the kind of parties I want to attend. These crib parties however, I’m looking forward to! There will be people peeing their pants, hungry and spitting up. Just like a party that’s still going at 2 a.m. in Hollywood, just without the booze.
This little onsie here is courtesy of my mom and dad. They sent me TONS of clothes! Boxes and boxes of clothes, blankets, shoes and hats from newborn to 3 years old. Isn’t that wonderful? Good thing too since with leaky diapers and spit-ups he’ll be changing his wardrobe a few times a day AND of course growing out of each one all too quickly.
There are 6 doggie beds in this house for only 2 dogs. I KNOW! I’m one of THOSE people! One is by my desk and I love it when Pixie climbs in and wraps the blanket around her with just enough space open to keep one eye on me the whole time. Funny girl.
Seriously, once I’m up in the morning, I don’t sit still until I fall into bed exhausted. And sometimes I’m not even exhausted, I just know I SHOULD be sleeping so I make myself go to bed somewhere around midnight. I thought I was supposed to get all tired again in this third trimester like I was in the first trimester, but most days I’m still full piss and vinegar!
I’ll admit that yesterday I was calm and relaxed. Perhaps it was all due to my magical acupuncture treatment and getting a pedicure. WHAT? I can’t give birth without a fresh pedicure! This is Los Angeles! What were you thinking?
Today however I’m back at my usual pace. And it’s a good thing I have all this energy because yes, this is still a house of chaos AND there is a LOT to be accomplished in the next few weeks or however long we have before this baby makes his way into the world. I’m surprised he hasn’t climbed out yet with all my busyness and running around, you would think he’d want out so he could get some rest.
Remember how I said I thought I’d wear flowy dresses and be like a goddess while I was pregnant? Well, I also thought in the last month of pregnancy I’d want to or have to lay around like a princess awaiting the arrival of this baby. Ha! Foiled again. Everything seems to have come to a head and we have important projects that must be completed in the next few weeks.
We had our baby shower on the day of the Oscar’s this year, so I set my DVR to capture some of the Oscar fun. I never did get around to watching all of it, but I caught this interview and thought it was HILARIOUS!
George, one of the hosts for ABC’s On The Red Carpet is flustered here when he obviously wasn’t ready to be on camera at the moment and then tells Susanne Bier (Director of “In A Better World” which won Best Foreign Film) “I’m sorry, we were a little stunned because you’re wearing this gorgeous necklace.” Excuse me? WHAT did he just say? The reason he is flustered and doesn’t know what to do is BECAUSE OF HER NECKLACE?
He doesn’t know who she is and has to ask “You’re nominated for your work in a foreign film, CORRECT?” And when she mentions “Being a film director is quite wonderful”, there is an awkward silence as neither host responds.
After they turn their back to her to face camera and she’s still standing there wondering if she should stay or go, George then starts PLAYING WITH HER NECKLACE and says “SHE’S SHOWIN’ THIS. SHE’S SHOWIN’ THIS. SHE’S SHOWIN’ THIS”. OMG! I felt so bad for her. Her view of America was FOREVER changed after this awkward interview.
Look, I totally understand what it’s like to be doing interviews on the fly and not always knowing exactly who you are talking to in this type of setting, but this was just really funny to me. Reporting at one of it’s most AWKWARD and HILARIOUS moments.
