Serendipity LOLI've been having fits of unexplained laughter these past few weeks. This is actually a scary thing considering that I just gave birth a month ago and thoughts of Brook Shields and Paxil have been foremost in my mind. But I guess the fact that I am so ever conscious of this “post-partum blues” condition means that I don't have it, right? Right? Oh well, if things do turn out the way I don't want it to be (meaning I'll end up popping anti-depressants like M&Ms), off to the funny farm I go (no pun intended). Seriously, I know why I'm in this “har-de-har” state of mind. This waking-up-late-at-night-and-in-the-wee-hours-of-the-morning-to-feed-the-baby-and-rock-her-to-sleep business is finally taking its toll. Aside from this nocturnal to butt-crack of dawn affliction, I have been swamped with brain-work (i.e. writing assignments / client deadlines) and other such mundane concerns as buying diapers and monitoring my waistline (if I'm not in denial, tell me why I'm still looking for the perfect jeans in the teen section one month after giving birth!). So, forgive me if I'm a little cuckoo these past weeks. One of the things that have also contributed to my “cuckoo-ness” is the fact that I've been religiously watching The Tonight Show with Jay Leno back-to-back with Conan O' Brien (my ultimate dream man along with Mario Batalia, so sue me). These two shows have always been a favorite along with David Letterman's show (sadly, Letterman is not being shown locally, so I go to the CBS website instead) and have actually saved me from chucking Ripley, my month old baby, out of the window every time she's in her “evil-baby” mode (non-stop crying for no apparent reason, you get my drift). And so, like the generous giver that I am, I'd like to share with you some of the reasons for my late night laughs. Go ahead LOL. Top Ten Signs You've Seen the `Star Wars' Movies Too Many Times (from Late Show with David Letterman) 10. Your poodles are named "C," "3," "P" and "O" 9. You won't sleep with your wife unless she says, "Help me, Obi Wan, you're my only hope" 8. You spent $10,000 trying to Rogaine yourself into Chewbacca 7. You're continually stunned when the President makes major decisions without consulting Mark Hamill 6. Your favorite pickup line: "Would you like to handle my light saber?" 5. You keep referring to your lawn mower as "that crazy droid" 4. You spend most of your days trying to use "the Force" to open a can of pears 3. You once saw an eggplant that looked kind of like Darth Vader and almost had a heart attack 2. Your sex life is strictly "Han Solo," if you know what I mean 1. You like Yoda so much, you voted for Ross Perot Quotes from Late Night with Conan O'Brien "Yesterday, the country of Cambodia named Angelina Jolie an 'honorary citizen' for all her work in Southeast Asia. Not only that, there is a rumor that Jolie is responsible for the breakup of North and South Korea." "According to 'The New York Post', Britney Spears' husband, Kevin Federline, is in the studio recording his first album. It's expected to be the top selling album among people named Federline. " "In New York, Senator Hillary Clinton is being challenged for her seat by another woman. Hillary says she's looking forward to the election, while Bill Clinton says he's looking forward to the girl-on-girl action." "In a radio speech this week, President Bush said, 'I will not be satisfied until every American who wants to work can find a job.' Then Bush went back to his five-week vacation." "It's been reported that Britney Spears is having financial trouble and recently took out a $5 million loan. Kevin Federline offered to co-sign the loan and then everyone had a big laugh." "A light saver used in the original 'Star Wars' was bought for $200,000 at a recent auction. The buyer wishes to remain anonymous and a virgin." |
