WTF is up with all the Christmas music on the radio today? I HATE Christmas music* at Christmas but it is enough to make me sick. It isn't even freaking Thanksgiving. Play the crappy pop music I tune in to hear, not Christmas music.
*The notable exception to this rule is Trans Siberian Orchestra which is awesome, no matter what they play!

Would you rather?
Which of the following TV doctor's would you prefer to be treated by:?
A)House
B)Scrubs
C)ER
D)Grey's Anatomy
My vote would be for House, alone. If it is just House without his team, it means I'm a clinic patient and I have something boring and mundane, like strep throat or a sprained ankle. If it has to be the whole cast, then I want the old team because the new team is lame. Third choice would be House and the new team followed by first season ER, back before they were full of lame incompetents who lost as many patients as they saved. I don't watch either of the other 2 shows but I would have vote Scrubs next since the few shows I've seen it didn't seem like people were dying a whole lot, not with it being a comedy.

Relationships
I was listening to the radio this morning and they were talking about a woman that had an issue with her boyfriend looking at X-rated pictures. I fail to understand that issue. If he loves you then what do you care who or what he looks at? If he doesn't love you, why are you waiting your time? Don't you have better things to do with your life? I think that stems from my whole attitude on dating and even just friendship. I'm not quick love or even like people. In fact, I'm way more inclined to hate than love (which I realize is probably unhealthy but it is the way I am and I doubt I'm changing).
Most, except for a VERY select few, start firmly in the dislike catagory for me. A popular refrain in our house is "I hate people" and that is generally true. With some minor effort people can be moved from "active dislike" to "tolerate". It requires amazing feats (and a smart mouth never hurts since I can fully appreciate sarcasm) to be moved to the "actively likes" catagory. And they need to be quick because I don't have the time or energy for repeat exposures. A handful of chances is all you really get.
As I've gotten older, I have even less time for non-productive relationships. When I was a teenager, I had so many TERRIBLE friends. Not only were they not good friends, they weren't even good people. I got into more trouble in the few months I was friends with them than I did at ANY other point in my life. Fortunately, I outgrew that need to be around people who weren't good for me and I have been much more selective about the people that I allow to move into the "friend" catagory and my life is so much better for it.

What do you miss by being a parent?
They had a segment on the radio asking people to call in and talk about the things they miss because they are parents. People called in with food issues (never getting to eat your own, having to cut someone else's, etc), time issues, social life issues, etc. I got to thinking about and I thought about all day and finally came up with something that I miss from being a parent. I miss 150lbs. While not thin, that is what I weighed when I got pregnant with C. It was over all a much healthier weight and I felt better and looked better at it. How much of that is simply time (don't they say something like we gain 10lbs a year, typically) and my being a lazy ass and how much is from having kids. Gaining the weight while pregnant certainly didn't help things but I think the other factors play a part too.
Other than that questionable thing, I don't miss anything by being a parent. I'm really a 3 year old in a much older body so I'm pretty happy doing things with my kids. I went to freaking Chuck E Cheese for my birthday for crying out loud! LOL We never did anything that we couldn't do with the kids before having kids so I don't miss anything there. A year ago, I would have said I missed sleep (because Lizzie never slept but she is doing SOOO much better now) and friends but both of those are none issues now. Lizzie sleeps pretty well most of the time and I've made some friends that I really enjoy hanging out with
So what, if anything, do you miss?
