MT Headed RamblingA peek into the life (and lack thereof) of a medical transcriptionist fighting battles of watching her hips spread, dealing with being a lesbian parent in Smalltown, USA and trying to raise intelligent, witty, caring children without resorting to duct taping them to the wall.This Just Sucks...Period!- April 28, 2006 I'm sick of it. I want it to end!I'm tired of seeing these commercials where 98 pound women strut around in nothing but white bikini undies doing gymnastics...while advertising tampons. Hell, I wear overnight pads WITH super plus tampons, granny panties and thick sweatpants and I still end up doing the emergency laundry time at the bathroom sink.Last night, I went to bed at 1 a.m., awoke at 8. Sounds like a perfect, blissful 7 hours of sleep, right Nope, I had to...http://journals.aol.com/diannevan/MTHeadedRambling/entries/2006/04/28/this-just-sucks...pe... Who's The Boss- April 25, 2006 Judges, by and large, are very intelligent folks. They've made it through high school, college, law school, passed the bar, and even been elected (or selected) to preside over the court. So how come they make so many rock dumb decisionsI read today in this article that "websurfing at work" is perfectly fine and you CANNOT be fired for it. His justification "It should be observed that the Internet has become the modern equivalent of a telephone or a daily newspaper,...http://journals.aol.com/diannevan/MTHeadedRambling/entries/2006/04/24/whos-the-boss/1461 Like, totally gymmin' dude- April 20, 2006 Remember that nasty number on my scale last week I'm sick of it. I'm ready to do something about it. Of course, I've said this all before. If I had a dollar for every time I said "this time I'm gonna lose weight..." I'd be rich. If, of course, I hadn't spent all those dollars on donuts. Well, this time I'm not saying "this is it!" This time, I'm saying, "if it works, great. If it doesn't, well at least I got some exercise just transporting the damn...http://journals.aol.com/diannevan/MTHeadedRambling/entries/2006/04/19/like-totally-gymmin-... Divine Coincidence- April 19, 2006 Tell me there's not just a touch of irony regarding the fact that Brooke Shields births her baby girl just mere hours before Tom Cruise's daughter was born. Perhaps Brooke will share some of her anti-depressants with Katie after the pregnancy hormones are gone and Miss Holmes realizes what the heck she did.http://journals.aol.com/diannevan/MTHeadedRambling/entries/2006/04/18/divine-coincidence/1... No Longer A Pre-Teen- April 9, 2006 Is there enough Maalox in the world for me to be able to tolerate having two teenagers in the house Heather turned 13 today. And yeah, I'm still claiming that I'm still carrying baby weight. It's a mom's right. It was an all around perfect day. She's been begging for a guitar so she can "be good at something." Her school mentor (the speech therapist) has an acoustic guitar and Heather's got it in her head that Miss Phillips will teach her. Sure 'nuff, Miss...http://journals.aol.com/diannevan/MTHeadedRambling/entries/2006/04/08/no-longer-a-pre-teen...
