Julia and thoughts...

I don't know how to post a link...  Maybe here?  It didn't seem to work anywhere else.

In this clip, Julie talks about how the ex-pat women in Paris don't do anything and how she could never do that.  I have several friends who feel the same way and who found a job, etc.  But there are a lot of ex-pat women here who don't do anything, just like Julia's friends.  I think I'm between the two.  I am perfectly content to spend a day just around the house cooking, writing letters, watching movies, making phone calls, and reading.   But I also love being involved.  During the year, I was out so much during the week I was exhausted, the summer is much more relaxing, but can be boring.  Well, toady was maybe only the second time I have been bored so far.  Although, I do have one project I have totally been neglecting that I might get to tonight.  Planning the games for a friends baby shower, fun.  :-)

I normally try to keep my blog to one cohesive thought (all six posts anyway...), but today I have another thought.  My husband and I are trying to have kids now, and a thought hit me hard this morning.  I could be in labor nine months from now.  Recently, this has not scared me, but this morning... like a ton of bricks.  The scared feeling is mostly gone and the excitement is 90 percent back, but wow.  What's labor going to be like?  I have a good friend who has offered herself as a pregnancy partner (I think she called it) if I get pregnant.  That will be nice to have a friend who has already gone through this whole mess... or something (give me a break, the thought of pregnancy may be exciting, but it is also terrifying!).
