Saw Baby Mama last night with acquaintance-who-wants-to-be-more Skinny McTweeter.  She’s allright but very wrapped up in her world.  Not someone I can hang with frequently, but to indulge my Tina Fey love with, she was fine.

Worst parts of the movie: LACK OF RESEARCH OR KNOWLEDGE OF THE FEMALE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM.  (seriously.  no idea.  it doesn’t take that much effort to have an RE look at the script for accuracy)  Setting that aside, the last 1/3 of the plot was total crap.  It could have been snappier, quicker, better, but it got bogged down in trying to be cute.  Some really interesting story lines fell off the face of the earth. 

Best parts of the movie: Lots of good one liners, banter and one offs.  Some of the supporting players were outstanding and stole the show every moment they were on screen.    It made me chuckle out loud on a few occasions.

Overall, “Forgetting Sarah Marshall” is a better written and funnier movie, but “Baby Mama” was not without its charms.

Things are Ok in my world.  I think I’m going to have to sleep apart from Mr. JB if the snoring doesn’t improve.  It’s not so bad that it wakes me up.  My overactive bladder wakes me up.  It’s just that the snoring doesn’t allow me to get back to sleep.

Talked with Mary Perfect some about the whole shower thing.  I’m not comfortable with the tea-sandwiches and opening gifts in front of everyone, so we decided a couples “Welcome Baby” cook-out would be more appropriate and fun for us.  We’ll play bocce and grill and invite everyone we know.  Presents optional, lots of people I love…it will be good.

It’s sinking in with SoccerMan that I’m actually knocked up.  We were chatting a bit yesterday and he was astounded to hear that I ache all over, my hips are starting to loosen, my tummy is starting to show and that I only have 5 1/2 months to go.  He never really thought about that kind of thing…and why would he?  He’s 35, single, hasn’t dated anyone seriously in a few years.  It’s an eye opener for him and will make him a great husband to pregnant woman/father to be (if that happens in his life–I know it’s something he wants, so I hope so. He’s really a wonderful guy and a total catch. He’s just so damned shy…)

I can’t keep a single thought going for my usual 500 words.  I’m either out of practice (yes) or semi brain dead (yesyes).  So for now it’s snippets.  I’ll be back to normal soon.  Or not.  Who knows?
