I've managed to catch a few non-baby related thoughts floating around my brain this week, just I'm not making any promises on quality.
So this headline caught my eye - Girl, 10 tasered by police officer in Arkansas
This happened in Ozark, Arkansas which is a tiny town of less than 4,000 people...where my parents just so happen to live.
And I know tasing a child isn't really funny, but since she's okay I hope I'm not too bad a person if I gave my mom a little crap.
(And I also might have laughed...but just a little, I swear.)

And these people definitely need to get some real problems, or at least a little perspective - 7 strange plastic surgery procedures
I think the "radish calf" cure is the most bizarre. I've heard of cankles before, but complaining comparing your buff calf lto a vegetable was a new one to me.
I think there are cases when plastic surgery is totally warranted if it makes somebody feel better, but it can definitely get out of control.
I'll pass on cosmetic surgery myself. I'm not a fan of volunteering for unnecessary pain and then paying the people who made me feel like crap.
I'll just stick to my wonder bra and maybe buy some spanx if I'm feeling self conscious.

Luckily, I'm too cheap to buy real Eggos, otherwise this might be a problem - Eggo Waffle Shortage: Bacteria First Forced Plant Closure
Apparently, eggos will be hard to find until next summer. The freezer shelves are certainly looking pathetically empty at my grocery store. (I wonder how many people are hoarding eggos? I'm dreaming up all kinds of strange arguments and mental pictures.)
It's just weird to me that they couldn't figure out how to meet the demand. Kellogg's is probably losing a boat load of money over this whole thing.
The generic Safeway brand really isn't bad. I recommend them if you're desperate (or cheap, like me).

So far, the little one is still butt down. I've got a little more than a week before my appointment where we will "talk about the options". I think that might be one of the scariest things a doctor can say to you.
I hope she is more cooperative after she is born!
Have a great Tuesday everybody!

I remember all three of these issues. I thought the 10 year old must have been a real brat.
Surgery...I've already done some. Doesn't really hurt all that bad. Just saying.
Eggos...I don't eat them so I don't care. Bwahahahahaha.
Hope the baby decides to flip.
Have a terrific day K. :)
I don't care about the Eggo thing.
We don't eat a lot of waffles and if we want some, Aunt Jemima waffles are pretty good..
Whoa...tasering a kid. Whoa. I'm sure my mother would have liked that a couple times in my youth. :)
And waffle shortage. I am too cheap so I always buy whatever's on sale. My husband on the other hand is devasted. Silverspoon all the way for him and his EGGOS ONLY rule.
Sigh. Men.
Good luck with the butt down baby thing. Girls tend to ignore until it's absolutely necessary :)
I'm hording pumpkin but not eggos so I guess I'm safe! The taser story may get some people mad but honestly that kids needs some discipline, badly. Maybe not a taser but someone needs to get that kid under control. Can you even imagine her as a teenager?
Funny true stories! I've never tasted an Eggo, but it doesn't sound too good.
Hope the baby will do a somersault for you before too long. Good luck at the doctor's.
LOL... I'm glad I'm not the only one too cheap to by Eggos. I can't remember the last time I bought something besides the store brand waffles.
Wow, I hope she turns for you! We buy the Great Value waffles and Sprite loves them. She loves the Publix versions too. I think if it's going into the toaster, she'll be a fan.
Gosh, what will they do when faced with a TWELVE year old girl?
I heard about the great eggo shortage. I'm waiting for the ad where someone says "this is MY eggo!" and it's an empty plate. ;-)
You need a waffle maker for Christmas!
There are a lot of bummed out Eggo lovers out there. Glad I'm not one of them.
Have a great RTT!

I hope your little one gets more cooperative! I don't know what it is with cops lately-in Portland a cop just fired a bean bag gun at a 12 year old girl. Seriously-unless they have a weapon, what is a 12 year old little girl going to do to a big bad copper?
I hope your little one does turn around on her own. I know they do it all the time!
I couldn't do plastic surgery either, unless something was physically wrong, and being a little chubby isn't a good enough reason for me to be sliced up.
I could use a little nip tuck! LOL
I always buy store brands of pop tarts. They are so much cheaper and almost as good.
Don't worry about it. Second babies can turn at the very last minute. Mine did.
You have no idea how annoyed I was that Costco didn't have Eggo's anymore. Since my son has eaten two eggos every single day since we moved here in July...we go through a lot of waffles. The kirkland brand is ick. Just so you know.
Happy RTT (on Wednesday)
Hey, it's Rachel Y. I almost never comment on your blog, but I think there are doctors in the Dc area who will do external versions. It was mentioned briefly in my Bradley class.
Leggo my Eggos? No you can have my Eggos. I love the ones from Trader Joes.
Oh no! I hope your baby turns on her own for you!
Ok, that is a tad funny that they tased a kid.
For the record, I have about 4 boxes of Eggo Nutrigrain waffles left in my freezer. I should sell them on ebay. I can't believe there's a waffle shortage. So sad.
