Don't Forget To Have Kids

Oh, Mika, really? You're gonna tell young women that the greatest gift a woman can receive is children? Not self-respect? Not knowing who you are and standing up for that person? Not loving yourself exactly as you are? Just what your uterus can do, huh? Yeah, we've come a long way, ladies.



How about this -- instead of a "You can have it all. Just as long as you're a mommy." attitude, we all strive for a more progressive ideal of, "As long as you feel true fulfillment in your life and happiness with your choices, it doesn't matter if you have kids early, later or not at all."

wednesday one-liner

C. Wolff: Hmm.... I feel like I set something down here

Fifi: You know what you set down? A precedent.


Yeah, that's right. I did it.

It's a little-known scientific fact that when you have nothing but time on your hands, said time flies much faster. One hour of free time -- watching TV, not writing, not reading friends' blogs, vegging out -- becomes a week, becomes 3 months.

I haven't forgotten about you all. I haven't forgotten about writing. I haven't forgotten to do things about which I could blog. I've just been lazy -- enjoying my free time. Try not to hate me for it. Instead, take the opportunity this Saturday to come out to the opening bout of the GGRD & see my debut as a jeerleader.
