Two Lists

Here is a list of things I wish people would stop asking me:

• So, when are you going to have another baby?
• Have you heard about the bird flu and how we're all going to die?
• When are you going to make the little angel a big sister?
• Did you realize that W will be in office for another three years?
• Did you hear the teachers in Waddler B have started their turf wars again?
• When are you going to get pregnant again?

Here is a list of things I wish people would start asking me:

• Would you like a free massage?
• How can I help you get some more sleep into your life?
• Did you know a kindly real-estate developer has bought every ugly, appreciation-robbing house in your neighborhood and is going to refurbish them all by next year?
• You're HOW old?  You're kidding!
• Can we take an hour just to talk about your thoughts on world peace?

Hello?  Internet?  I'm just NOT READY.  I haven't refound myself yet.
