Pop Quiz! Three guesses and the first two don't count.

Who wants to guess what happened when I got way too lazy/busy/whatever to get a refill on my birth control prescription? Let's not get too personal here, but forgetting to take a pill or neglecting to fill a prescription for say, MONTHS is something I have done A LOT in the time I have been married. Oh, okay and before I was married. And there have been no consequences! UNTIL NOW!

I'm totes pregnant. Knocked up. Bun in the oven. Art and I are expecting a child in December. I KNOW, RIGHT?! A human being. Lord help us all.

Maybe the sheer force of will of not wanting to have children kept me safe before. (THAT'S A JOKE. PLEASE DO NOT TAKE ANY FAMILY PLANNING ADVICE FROM ME). But we let our guard down and changed our minds and next thing you know, we're prepping to be parents. It's taken time to get used to the whole idea, but we are feeling blessed.

So that's what's been going on with me! I really need to get to bed, keep reminding myself that I am not off tomorrow.

The frat boy-esque radio show I listen to on my way in to work had an interesting topic this morning, interracial marriage and children. As a mutt who still managed to marry outside her race, I was interested! The guest was Alon Ziv, author of a book called Breeding Between the Lines: Why Interracial Children are Healthier and More Attractive. His theory is that since the genetic make-up of interracial couples are so diverse, their offspring are more likely to be more attractive, more intelligent and less prone to genetic disorders than offspring from two parents of the same ethnic heritage. Hey, sounds good! His theory doesn't just talk about unions between black/white, hispanic/asian but the less "controversial" pairings of Italian/German (or, people seen as just "white" here in the States).

I think anything that claims that any future children I may (but probably will not) have are genetically superior works for me and my god complex, but here's the website if you want to know more about the book: Breeding Between the Lines. I'm going to pick it up and actually read it soon.

OH MAH GAWD!

Okay, I totally knew that Maya Rudolph was expecting a baby and was planning on working less on SNL this year,

I also knew that it was basically over between Fiona Apple and director Paul Thomas Anderson,

What I did NOT know was that Maya's baby daddy?

PAUL THOMAS ANDERSON
