Queen of Rambles

We’re out of here until Monday! We will have no computer access as far as I can ascertain, so there will be no random updating. I know I usually say “we’re leaving for a week with no computer access!” and then I update even more than unusual because I’m sneaky when it comes to my Internet time. I think I really mean that I’m going to be gone this time.

I’m very excited to be heading off to Cape Cod because it makes me feel like a movie star to say those two words. Cape. Cod. Yes, yes, I’m a dork. This East Coast living is just so alien to me that sometimes I feel like my whole life is a movie, only the set designer was trying to be ironic.

We got a very unexpected Christmas gift of a whole series of books yesterday! The UPS man rang the bell at 7:30 pm and I was sure we were going to be robbed. We haven’t been robbed yet, but I am still living in my “we’re in the big city! Everyone wants to hurt us!” mentality. But it was a surprise UPS man bearing gifts! How cool is that?

We have a two hour drive from Providence, RI to the Cape (yes, I do know there are a bunch of towns on it and I would tell you the town we are going to but I can’t remember) and I really need to take a Dramamine. However, what if I am pregnant? I try not to obsess about this, but if I am pregnant the embryo will have attached itself yesterday or possibly today and I think that pills that control nauesousness are particularly bad for an embryo. I would hate to cause myself a miscarriage by taking on, but if the past few attempts are any indication it’s unlikely that I am actually pregnant anyway so it would make absolutely no difference. I need to just stop obssessing. But I’m an obsesser. It’s what I do. Maybe google will have an answer for me.

Ok, google did have the answer for me. It has been shown to cause birth defects in animals when taken at levels much higher than the normal dosage. I think that is a risk I’m willing to take. I wouldn’t want to puke in someone else’s car on the way to the Cape. That would be very un-movie star like.

Yikes! We have to leave in 45 minutes and I have not even taken my shower. Darned google and it’s wily ways!

Have a great holiday everyone!
