Pregnant friends = sitting target

My life isn't all glamor and excitement.

Sometimes I need to pick on those less fortunate to keep things a little exciting.

A little edgy.

Last week, I was offered a travel blog on the website of the online travel company I work for (and immediately had to hit my travel blog with Windex and a paper towel, desperately trying to tidy up a bit before any of the big wigs took a peek). I called 80 of my closest girlfriends to get opinions, edits, and suggestions.

Somehow, pregnant Mandy let it slip that she had been watching "She's Having a Baby" and crying her eyes out. What a ball of hormones she is. But still, that scene where they wheeled Elizabeth McGovern into the OR, and Kate Bush starts singing, and you just see that drop of blood hit the floor is enough to make anyone cry. And so Mandy and I are talking about this, and her husband is standing behind her and laughing and sniveling his favorite quotes from Sleepless in Seattle in a girly voice:

"Sam Baldwin: Although I cried at the end of "the Dirty Dozen."
Greg: Who didn't?
Sam Baldwin: Jim Brown was throwing these hand grenades down these airshafts. And Richard Jaeckel and Lee Marvin
[Begins to cry]
Sam Baldwin: were sitting on top of this armored personnel carrier, dressed up like Nazis...
Greg: [Crying too] Stop, stop!
Sam Baldwin: And Trini Lopez...
Greg: Yes, Trini Lopez!
Sam Baldwin: He busted his neck while they were parachuting down behind the Nazi lines...
Greg: Stop.
Sam Baldwin: And Richard Jaeckel - at the beginning he had on this shiny helmet...
Greg: [Crying harder] Please no more. Oh God! I loved that movie. "

And I was like, "wow, Mandy, your husband is really mean. Hang on a second, listen to this":


Oh-hooo!

And Mandy's totally crying because it's the song from the blood drop scene.

Wow, that was totally easy.
