Times Are-a-Changin'

Case in point:

1) It's understood now that when someone says, "How far along are you?" that they are not asking how pregnant you are. They want to know how far you are into the Twilight series. I was asked twice on Wednesday alone by total stangers.

2) Dads of my generation rock. My husband, as well as his buddies, my brother, and my brothers-in-law are diaper-changing, meal-cooking, book-reading, toy-playing, kid-bathing machines. Not to take anything away from us hot mamas (or MY daddy, because, Dad, you were WAY ahead of your time!), but guys, you've definitely steered away from the "we are the providers and that's it" role of the generations before us. Kudos guys!!

3) I've already witnessed the fall of the eight-track tapes, record players (*tear* if I could only hear the We Are the World record just one last time with the static of the record player...), cassette tapes, VCR tapes, and now the DVD? I believe I'm going to boycott the blue-ray for the time being. I'm not too excited about replacing another form of entertainment as well as our extensive DVD collection.

4) Sure, I know what I'm going to be "when I grow up," and I'm definitely working toward it. However, I'm realizing that my old secret dreams of being the next Joan Jett, backpacking through Europe, and spending an entire summer in Italy probably are not going to happen.
