As we watched the video, I hit pause when Meredith referred to the iVillage survey.  I'll admit it.  My husband has ruined me.  Never marry a statistician. 

57% of people surveyed at iVillage said that cocktails at playdates were unacceptable.  No indication of number of people surveyed, no indication of margin of error. 

K:  Is it just me or does that sound like a bullshit survey?
D:  What's iVillage?
K:  Isn't THAT the question of the day?

On a lighter note, my pregnant belly is frightening the locals. 

I am not joking.

People have physical reactions when they catch a glimpse of my belly.  A woman walking past me at the mall today actually gasped when she looked at me.  As if I was freakishly disfigured. 

K:  I'm serious.  Do I really look that bad?
D:  You look like you could possibly give birth right here, right now.
K:  I don't feel that bad.
D:  Oh, but you should see yourself.
K:  I'm not waddling.
D:  Yeah...it doesn't matter. 
K:  Is this because I look like I can't even get out of my OWN way, let alone anyone else's way?
D:  Putting it lightly.

I'm sorry, people.  My purpose is not to frighten.  But could you just cut a girl some slack?  I mean, can't you just avert your eyes?  Cause if I have to just sit around this house with one kid on the outside bugging me and one kid on the inside bugging me for the next two weeks, I may just have to kill myself.
