You're streaming WHAT?!

Today I was informed of something insane. I'm not talking casual use of the word ..I mean certifiably insane. I am going to give you some time to ponder all the possibilities that may make someone certifiably insane! When you have a few ideas, continue reading to see how close your guess was.

A woman is live streaming her natural home birth all over the internet. Ahhh.. what?! I mean we all know how I feel about publicly showing things that should be private. I am sure, much like breastfeeding, that any kind of birth (natural or otherwise) is a fabulous& wonderful thing. I mean for one, the baby in your belly leaves which seems like sort of a big deal to me. Secondly, weird cravings& hormones start to ease off. That is about my knowledge of post-birthing things that occur, although I'm sure there's lots more. All that being said ..do you think there is ANY reason to show all your goods& intimate moments with that entire world?

I mean, seriously. This is open for discussion. On her website she says she's doing this to show that those images we have of birth (screaming, pain, etc) are wrong. Delivery isn't an emergency& it doesn't have to be painful. Sure, okay. I don't know that pushing 7lbs+ out of your special place can be anything except painful ..but I'll take your word for it. Wait. One better ..I'll sign up for your live streaming. Which I did. Why? I don't know. I probably need a hobby. Or for people to stop telling me about the strange things others do.

I'm actually dying of curiosity to see if her birth is pleasant. I'm sure most moms would say the birth of their babies was amazing but I'm not sure it's something they enjoyed the feeling of ..you know? I'm not a mom, so if any of you can tell me if I'm right or wrong, that would be great! Also what do you think of this? Oh, also I have an honest to god, serious question. A raging new trend is to have your kid in a pool (or tub or anything that holds a lot of water really). How does this not drown the baby?! Do they not breath at first or something? I must be missing an important part of understanding this because ..if the baby breathes water, that's not good. Can someone please fill me in (but spare the graphic details)?!

In my mind this is well beyond that line of what is acceptable to post on the internet. Not all experiences need to be shared with absolutely everyone.

Thursdays ..

In case you haven't noticed, my post titles are basically just friendly reminders as to what day of the week it is. Don't say I'm not helping you keep your life on track by gently pointing out how far behind you are from where you planned to be by this particular day of the week.

So, while perusing through some blogs with high traffic, I realized a few things:
1. They write about controversial things to get people talking. That make sense, because really, no one cares that one of my socks is striped while the other is polka dots. Or that my momma just got an order from Forever21 .. or that my boyfriend and dad spent time bonding in the garage while pretending to work on my car, but not really working. More talking about welders or something, I'm sure. Well, Garret has since left to go back to his house .. I'm sitting here waiting for Dad to fix my vehicle for tomorrow's trip, but more importantly so I can head to the gym today. I have to pound out a few miles on the treadmill but also do day 8 of Insanity! Tomorrow and Saturday's will have to be done at the hotel, which I'm sure will make people think I'm crazy but I'm going to stick through 60 days of this stupid program if it kills me. Which, hopefully, it doesn't.

So yesterday I went for lunch and a tattoo adventure with Marg. It was exciting .. then we headed to the gym, where I promptly realized I had no workout pants and the world wasn't about to see me run a 10k in panties. So, thoroughly disappointed I headed home. Upon arriving home, Garret picked me up and we went to Fabricville, the mall for smoothies anddd maybe somewhere else but I forget. Moral of the story is that it was a busy day!

So now today is here, and another gym date is falling apart because of my car. When you consider that we're taking it to Halifax tomorrow though, I suppose that we're better off having dad fix it now than being stuck at a stupid garage tomorrow because of a needed oil change or with a ticket because a headlight was out. I hate when cars don't just work.

So left on my to do list for today:
1. Gym it
2. Insanity
3. Pack for Halifax
4. Clean out my car
5. Get a photo of the day
6. Get a shower
7. Eat supper
8. Visit the boyfriend

Why do I feel like it's 2.20PM and I have been completely unproductive? All I did so far was eat a waffle and a bag of popcorn. Oh, and some cheerios. I wish eating made me feel productive. It just makes me feel happy. LOL.

Last night my brother texted me this:
"Lol the people im with jsut put on shoes and I thought of u"

Direct quote. In honor of the people who know me well, I will leave it to you to dig through your alcohol-foggy memories of my love affair with this particular text message and laugh. For those of you who weren't in my life during this period, I will post the answer tomorrow to why my brother is reminded of me when people put on shoes. Oh, Matthew. You crack me up.

So, now that I've discussed the pressing topics of today (if this was twitter, would I be 'trending' in my post?! Why can't I figure that stupid site out.), I will leave you with my not-taken-yesterday-but-still-the-photo-I'm-using-because-I-love-myself photo. Today's photo remains to be seen .. and you can rest assured that Friday and Saturday's photos will be ridiculous after 2 days and a night in the city. Also, can we hold hands ..have a moment of silence and prayer .. in honor of my survival as I make my first big drive into the city?! LOL.

PS why do I love me? Who else matches like this?!
