I had two babies after Thanksgiving

I want one.

I was actually given permission (i.e., I translated whatever I was told to mean what I wanted to hear) to spice-up my blog post titles with a smidgen of sensationalism. You know, just as you'd add salt to a dish, to taste -- which could be ironic, considering how you feel about this blog.

Whatever, as it's been more than a week since my last blog post (I've been on vacation, so pretty please with turkey leftovers on top pardon my lingering tryptophan hangover), I figured a slightly sensational post title was in order -- sensational BUT TRUE! That's right, kids, I got a uterus for an early Christmas present and, quite immaculately, am with child.

OK, not really. But I helped babysit a beautiful, model-in-training 2-year-old girl named B and her new, 5-week-old baby sister, B2. Loved every minute of it! Seriously, I've already been nursing a low-grade baby fever for months now, and holding a baby in my lap and having her grab at my fingers made the hankering for parenthood a smidgen more official.

Of course, B2 wasn't talkative, unless you counted her spitting up on me (I even found that cute), so I bonded more with B, with whom I watched "Sleeping Beauty" and "Little Mermaid 6: Ariel Visits the Titanic" or whatever it was called -- too much fun, can't wait for the next time we get to hang out.

A couple of days before that, I visited my friend Woo-Bell, who was in town with her two toddler daughters and six-month-old son, who nestled his head into my neck for a few minutes until his mama took him away from me after he spit up on my sweater and Burberry scarf.

That's right: I have baby vomit on my fo' real Burberry scarf -- and I don't even give a flying fig. I mean, I'm gonna have it cleaned before I wear it again, but I didn't care. It was cute!

Granted, I know that when/if I become a parent, I'm not going to find all this puking and pooping and related baby byproducts all that fabulous; but it's adorable for now.

But if you see me in public between now and Christmas, and you notice my holiday-enlarged belly, do NOT think it funny to ask if I'm pregnant because I'll totally stab you in the neck.

Peace, love and baby byproducts ... XOXO

P.S.: The word o' the day is gorgemous (GOR-juh-muss), an adjective combining the flattering words "gorgeous" and "beauteous" with an M thrown in because, otherwise, it would still kinda sound like gorgeous. Anyway, let's use it in a sentence: "You're gorgemous."

Living Wright

While other kids were watching "The Smurfs," Scene Writer Jason Ashley Wright was tuned in to "Style with Elsa Klensch." By fourth grade, he knew he wanted to write, and spent almost three years publishing a weekly teen-oriented magazine, Teen-Zine -- circulation: 2. After earning a degree in journalism from the University of Southern Mississippi, he became the medical reporter and teen board coordinator for the Hattiesburg (Miss.) American, a Gannett newspaper. Eight months later, with visions of Elsa dancing in his head, he applied for the fashion writer position at the Tulsa World, where he began working on Aug. 3, 1998. He is now a general assignment reporter for Scene.
