Man!

The month of March gets crazier for me every year. This year I had to eat , breathe, and dream work for about 3 weeks but luckily for me, that time is over. I was so stuck in ‘work’ that I couldn’t even think about the Obama race speech, Jeremiah Wright, Hillary and Bosnia, the NCAA basketball tourney (now you know I was really knocked out if I didn’t think about basketball)

I was going to write about the debate last night until this…

I was standing at the check out line this morning and saw a headline Pregnant Man Attempts Suicide. I busted out laughing. These tabolid headlines are just so bizarre. I actually said out loud “they are so stupid!!” Two of my work colleagues came up behind me and asked why I was laughing. I said.. look at this! Isn’t it ridiculous? They said… ‘no, its true’.

WHAT?

How long have I been gone?!? What kind of nonsense is this?!? A pregnant man? (You know every tv sitcom has their ‘pregnant man’ episode – remember when Cliff and Elvin and Denise’s husband were pregnant?) It is a very funny image. But has it finally become a reality? Apparently it has! Dude is just kind of a dude though, dude is a dude now, but was born a dudette and had a sex change but not all of the organs. I can’t believe how crazy this is? And to top it off, my colleagues told me that he/she had been on Oprah. Well if Oprah had dude on then it all must be true. Right?

See now… this is the kind of craziness that happens when we start messing with the body that the almighty gave us. How confused must this poor soul be?

Dinner with Strangers

The other day I went out to meet a colleague for dinner. When I got to the restaurant there was a group of students just sitting down. The hostess asked me if I was with the group. I said no. But as I was sipping my tea waiting for my colleague I started thinking. Hmm…maybe I should have said I was with the group. How interesting would that have been?!?

I should have just pulled up a chair and sat down. Hi… I’m Gina… I’m going to be joining you for dinner tonight. I wonder what they would have said. They probably would have thought I was crazy ..but after the initial awkwardness… Maybe it wouldn’t be so bad.

Afterall with 6 degrees of separation I’m sure I would have SOMETHING in common with at least one person in the group. :-)

Hmmmm… Maybe I should have dinner with strangers every week. Pick a restaurant and just join a random party. LOL. I could write a book about the interesting people I meet. Maybe I could even make up some of the stories and get on Oprah!

I’m going to think seriously about this one. What d’you think?
