Kudos, Bachelor in Paradise (there's a phrase I never thought I would say)

Lots of girl on girl action on last night's BIP, thanks to producers flying in Demi's "girlfriend." And on network TV! Brava. And may I throw in John Krasinski's twin Derek as the next Bachelor, please...

You're welcome, ladies

Not saying it was because of me, but this year our company added infertility insurance for the first time ever (didn't help me in 2017, but it did help this year!). And I am now tackling our crappy maternity leave policy, with the possibility of adding an additional four weeks for women and two weeks for men! (again, the latter won't help me but I will certainly take an additional four weeks...)

Don't say I never did anything for you, gals.

I'm old enough to be your grandmother. Apparently.

I have been watching this terrible show called Unexpected about teen moms who are having babies, and what cracks me up the most is that their moms are younger than me. Like 37, 38. And they are grandmothers. Of course most of them were also teen moms, so clearly the apple doesn't fall far. In one Kentucky family, the two sisters both announced they were pregnant on the same day as teens, and now they have three teenage daughters, two of whom have babies under the age of one and the third is pregnant. Attaway! Shoot I'm so old I probably won't even live to SEE a grandchild. (Georgie: please don't get pregnant in high school. K thanks)

Hard pass dude

A team member left last month and I now get all of her emails, including things like Etsy, Redfin, etc. Nothing bothered me too much until yesterday when I got her email from Donald J Trump asking for a donation. WTF?!  #unsubscribe

Hey - they already have Christmas decorations up at Hobby Lobby...

With the baby coming in November, part of me wants to decorate for Christmas early and get it over with. Like Halloween early. I could do a Halloween tree, right? Of course, with a newborn the decorations will probably be up until February...#valentinetree

Not hot

When your already super weird across-the-street neighbors tell you they like to swim in the nude...

Yay verbs!

Georgie was at the pool yesterday and was playing with a bunch (read: all) of the leftover toys that kids leave there. A girl a few years older wanted the ball that G was playing with, and although she said "no" several times, I finally convinced her to share (by yanking it out of her hands and giving it to the little girl). Georgie was so proud of herself that for the rest of the day she was saying, "I share ball!" Baby steps, people. Baby steps.
