The Emancipation of Whitney

Hallelujah!! Ring the bells everyone!! Whitney Houston appears to have finally come to her senses and is kicking Bobby Brown to the curb! After 14 years of marriage, Whitney has filed for divorce.

It's about freaking time. One can only guess what caused the absolutely, fabulously talented (and once extremely classy) singer to get rid of her worse half, but as a longtime fan, I hope it means she has also stopped with the *ahem* herbals and not-so-herbals.

Man, I remember back in the '80s how Whitney was the epitome of talent and awesome pop music. Who knows how many times I tape-recorded her songs off the radio (it was what people did before iTunes and CDs, kids. No, I'm not joking.). I mean, it was Whitney, queen of the most popular talent show songs ever mutilated. I even remember watching her on "Silver Spoons" in the episode where she was dating Dexter - man, she was beautiful. And then in the '90s - well, I know I wasn't the only one who went to see "The Bodyguard" in spite of not being close to 17 yet! Ahhh...those were the days.

And then, she met Bobby Brown.

A Pregnant Pause

Okay, so my one or two regular readers might have noticed that it has been a while since my last posting. This is because it's really hard to type on a computer when you are spending most of your day face down in the toilet or curled into a little ball feeling like you wish you were face down in the toilet. Too much partying? Not quite. No, actually, I'm just knocked up.

Yes, after 7 years of marriage, Scott and I are finally reproducing - frightening thought, I know. Going into the whole pregnancy, I knew that there might be "discomforts." Little did I know I would be one of the lucky ones who would pretty much cease to function until the end of the first trimester. Nausea started up around 5 weeks and progressed to daily vomiting at 9 weeks. Exhaustion? Check. Heartburn? Check. Frequent urination? Check. Headaches? Check. Backaches? Check.

Wanting to never be touched by my husband ever again? Check.
