I don't know much, but I know this much...

That the Dow dropping more than 700 points is pretty bad. I know nothing about stocks except that when that number they show on the news every morning drops, it means bad news. Dropping more than 700 points - disastrous. I think when this happened right before the great depression, stock guys were jumping out of the windows on Wall Street. Not good.



As it seems we might be facing the Great Depression Part Deux, I've been thinking of some positive things about that time period.



1. Wild Heart Can't Be Broken. Remember this movie? The girl that dives horses? If we run out of jobs, maybe we can start up a horse diving business and people can pay a dime to see the show. True a dime won't even buy you a tootsie roll these days (they're 15 cents) but maybe we could put our dimes together and buy a diet pepsi and share it. Carbonation fills you up and makes you think you aren't hungry. Too bad we'd have to get about 10 dimes to buy a sodie from the Mav.

2. Going without nylons. Great! I hate them anyway!

3. Great style in clothing. People were classy. Guys wore hats and girls wore skirts. I love skirts.

4. We can all learn lots of ways to cook potatoes, since that's all we'll be able to afford to eat.

5. We all might get to fit into our skinny jeans because the price of sugar will be so high.

6. I realize now that I don't know much about this time period, but it might not be so bad. Our grandparents survived it.


Happy Recession everybody.

Pregnancy is fun...oh wait, not really.

Pregnancy is mean. At least this first part is. So, vegetables sound TOTALLY disgusting right now, especially raw ones. This has been causing Seth a lot of anxiety because he's really worried our baby is not getting enough vitamin ADEK, C, B series, Omega-3, folic acid, etc. But last night I thought Olive Garden minestrone and salad sounded delish. I was really proud of myself because I'd be eating salad all the veggies in the soup. We went, I ate. Seth got a pasta dish with shrimp which made me a little queasy but I didn't tell him because he really wanted shrimp. We ate our dinner, had nice conversation about what we would do if our hypothetical teenage daughter got knocked up, and tried to ignore our pushy waiter who kept bugging us every 3 minutes. No! I'm not done with my soup, go away! Then we left and since it was such a nice day thought we would walk around, but then I was too cold so we just walked to the car. Got in the car, Seth started to pull away from the curb.

Me: "Oh wait, stop, stop, stop."

Open car door, lean out the side. Bye bye nutritious veggies from Olive Garden and the rest of the food I ate today. Sure glad we spent $30 on puke.

Pregnancy is just mean.

p.s. Fazsh is kind of a nickname from the kids to my dad. If you're ever seen Austin Powers 3 (the one with the swedish guy) you'll know where this comes from.
