shhhhh...
hypothetically I plugged my tv into my home DSL line and now I hypothetically have all the basic cable channels and then some.
I don't know if this hypothetically would be illegal (as I pay for the DSL), but I'm not about to hypothetically ask.
Although I'd never do this because my coolest brother works for Time Warner. By the way, he got employee of the year and won a trip to Puerto Rico for him and his wife.
And, we hypothetically would get Disney and Cartoon Network, so I'd never do this anyway as Zoe would never get up from the television. I don't want her sitting on her ass. Big bad habit!
I care about this because:
1. 16 million people in the US have diabetes and don't know it.
2. 1 in 3 children born in the year 2,000 will become a diabetic.
Trust me, I don't want to ever have a diabetic child. My diabetes is more of a pain in the neck than anything. Insulin shots, meal planning, always thinking about what I'm eating is doing to my blood sugar, etc.
But at least I don't have AIDS, SARS, or cancer. I mean, the type of diabetes I have can be controlled (Type 2), so if I don't evolve into a complete sloth/lazy ass about what I eat and how much I work out, I'm pretty much ok.
We'll have to see next Friday. Doomsday. New doctor visit. And, yea! I get to have ANOTHER pelvic. That's just kind of creepy. My old doc used to leave all that up to my OBGyn.

I'm listening to the Buena Vista Social Club. One of my favorites. Just thought I'd share. I really want to get the soundtrack to Freida, but I don't want to fork out the $$ for it. I'm clueless on downloading music and stuff too... doh!
-------------------
I noticed I don't write much about my brothers. I have 3. I guess it's because I'm the 2nd of 7 kids and I'm closer to my sisters. (My parents had 3 girls, then 3 boys, then 1 more girl).
My brothers are hilarious. I mean truly truly funny. They used to make home movies. My favorites were "Black Glove" and "Mr. Beethoven, You Have Syphilis."
My house is the most fun when we are all together. My daughter loves her "Uncas." I'll have to think about some fun stories about my brothers.
I wish I could see them more.

[aside]
ug, yahoo. I'm getting hit on by an engineer with an "open marriage." It can't help that my profile says I'm a porn editor (that's an inside joke by the way.)
I keep it on there because I get lots of people sending me IMs about it. It's funny, it gives me something to write about, and once in a great while I've met some really fun people.
Although this guy is kind of cool. He's not really hitting on me. He said he'd give me kind of an inside look on what it's all about.
[aside over]
I really wish my parents would chill on my marriage. My mom is the keeper of all the family phone number, addresses, birthdays, etc. for our extended family (Aunts, uncles too).
She won't remove my ex's name or his 3 kids (she tactfully leaves off his illigitimate child though I noticed).
She lists him with me and also lists our anniversary. It really bothers me.
When will they understand that:
1. there is no none nada hope of us getting back together. If you have read much of this journal, you'd know what a fucktard he is.
2. I'm only still married to keep my medical insurance. He pays for Zoe already, and adding me on doesn't cost extra. My insurance at work is super sucky and it saves me $200 a month.
3. With my diabetes I need a good preventative plan. His plan is awesome. Mine wouldn't even cover the maintenance blood work (every 6 weeks). I can't afford to be jacking with some shitty insurance.
We both are cool with this. It's a way for him to give me a little extra, without having to give me cash.
If we ever wanted to remarry someone else, then we will split, but until then, we stay married solely for the insurance.
I don't know what they are thinking. Everyone she sends the list to knows the story, so why are they pretending we are still together. It really upsets me.

Ok, that's enough for today. I have to catch up on my reading.
Babysitting the Under 3 crowd all weekend. I'm staying at Sis #1's house. Her hubby is the organizer of his 20th class reunion, and they have lots of stuff to do.
I hope I make some good cashamatoma, and I'm sure I'm going to be exhausted from 3 kids nearly 24/7, but I know we'll have fun. And her 8 month old is soooo adorable. She really is the sweetest baby. She really does balance out Zoe and her crazy 3 year old cousin's antics.
