crazy-ness

today i had my first ultrasound and guess what????  ....................

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

TWINS FOR SURE!! 

AND POSSIBLY TRIPLETS!!

  (triplet-theory TBD in 10 days)

i'm speechless.  which hardly EVER happens.

open letter to M:

dearest m,

for many many years i have endured your threats to send me to "adult food camp", i have been force-fed foods not once, to just "see if i like it", but twice, three times and on and on. so convinced are you that i just didn't taste "good enough" the other times. so unbelieving are you that i really could just like the same few foods decade after decade.

many many times -- more than i'd like to count -- we "discussed" your philosophy that natural gases are not meant to be kept to one's self, but to be shared freely, and in your case, generously, with those closest to us. enclosed cars, shared blankets, and even during hugging hello or goodbye are only shared moments which serve you the opportunity to remind me that it is only my "extraordinary sense of smell" that causes me to suffer. to once again attempt to convince me to find a doctor that can cure my amazing ability to smell a "fart let on the moon". (sorry dear readers, M's words, not mine)

for years i've felt a bit of shame over not being a greagrious cohort -- preferring a quiet cafe, park or lakeside table to read and talk as opposed to your glamorous mix and mingles with interesting and beautiful strangers. i've been teased for being too sensitive and literal.  i attempt to hide-away my tendency to overthink even the minutia.

TODAY I STOP APOLOGIZING FOR IT ALL!  because some new information has fallen into my little child-like-tastebuded-olympic-nose-smelling-introverted-"emo"-hands.  (how hip am i for working my knowledge of "emos" into a post?)  a new study has been released. a study of "GIFTED" people and characteristics they have in common.  i know you'll be interested to learn that these include, but are not limited to:

1. being a picky eater
2. having an impeccable sense of smell and cold
3. hating experiences most people like
4. being over-analytical
5. desirability in  being anti-social
6. increase in sensitivity and emotic
7. feeling happily self-contained at home
8. general sense of boredom all the time
9. tendency to wear same clothes day after day  (i don't know about this one, i mean, i get behind on laundry and have to recycle an outfit every now and again -- who doesn't?)

so in summary, dear, dear M, please be gentle with me. i'm gifted. i just can't help it. love c.
