“America finally got it right” – not in reference to Helio and Scary Spice, but in reference to Marie – she should have been gone long, long ago – and i was a little sad to see Cheetah Girl again – she was so good – i missed seeing her dance – it was cute to see her and her partner all lovey-dovey though – he must have kissed her half a dozen times – so sweet – they should have been in the finals!  i still can’t decide how i feel about Helio winning – i loved both him and Scary – and while i think Scary was better technically, Helio had more showmanship – it could’ve gone either way – and maybe they’ll do a dance off like Kelly Monaco and J Peterman …

i know that a lot of women get to this stage in their pregnancy and start hoping the baby will show up around week 37 or 38 – not me – i told Kelley that Spike and i are having daily conversations – he has been told that he is not allowed to come early – i need him to spend the entire 40 weeks in his current home – so far, Spike seems pretty comfortable where he is and i need him to stay that way – i feel Spike move all the time now – it is the coolest thing – i can already tell i’m going to be one of those mom’s that just constantly stares at her baby – i can see it now – Kelley will call in the middle of the day and say “what are you doing” – “oh nothing, just staring at the baby” – that’s pretty much what i’m doing now – except now i’m just feeling the baby move instead of staring at him – but we’re 9 weeks out and i’m starting to get REALLY excited!

today is “me” day – i’m having my eyebrows threaded (ouch), i’m getting my hair cut (YAY!!!) and then a trip to the chiropractor – that will actually be the highlight – now all i have to do is stay awake – are you supposed to get progressively more tired in the third trimester – i’m exhausted – i’m starting to go to bed a little earlier but it doesn’t seem to be making a difference – it’s like the extra sleep is causing me to be even more tired – how can this be possible when i’m only getting 5 hours of sleep instead of 4? 

ok – i have to share this story because it totally made my day – so i get a call from a woman who wants to talk to the show – unfortunately, it’s late in the show and we’re in the middle of a commercial break so we’re not talking any calls – and just for the record, the show doesn’t take calls off air – so she keeps me on the phone for 2-3 minutes basically begging to talk to someone, anyone, on the show – finally i tell her it’s not going to happen and she hangs up – then she calls me back about 3 minutes later and we have almost the exact same conversation – only this time, she’s more persistent – i tell her (as nicely as possible) that the answer is still no and that she won’t be able to talk to anyone on the show – and that unfortunately, i have other lines to answer and can’t continue the conversation with her – after all, how many different ways can you say “i’m sorry we’re not taking any more calls” – so then she calls on the office phone and talks to the office admin – and she tells her the same thing – she wants to know if she can talk to someone on the show – when she’s told (AGAIN) that she won’t be able to talk to anyone – she says, “well i just called the other line and talked to dianthe – and she’s a mean MF!”  at that point, Lindsay (the office admin) politely says, “ok, well i’ll let her know – thanks” – OMG – i cannot tell you how that made me laugh – i don’t know why, but it just completely cracked me up – and then do you know that she had the nerve to call me back and ask if we were taking calls yet?!?!?  oh man, i needed that laugh today!
