Oh Crap.. I Lost my Identity!
I used to watch a lot of TechTV. One of the things I liked about it was Megan Morrone. She was always very human on camera. She was a chick geek but it wasn’t like she was out to prove something like some of the other TechTV ladies. Furthermore, she looked nervous. I liked that! It made her that much more real. Anyway, fast forward.. she has Annabella (who is adorable - no doubt), and TechTV hassles her about coming back to work. Blah blah blah.. she ends up doing some web stuff for them from home which fits better into her schedule but she’s still torqued from lack of time. Then she ends up leaving TechTV all together to go work for the Evil Empire (MS) which allows her to spend more time at home with the munchkin, and TechTV fans everywhere are devastated. Naturally, we turn to her blog to see how she’s doing.
Fast forward again and Megan’s blog is all of a sudden baby blog. There’s nothing about Megan anymore. Well of course, she’s writing the material, but it’s never just about her. She’s COMPLETELY lost her identity in motherhood. This is one of the things that I fear so much that it keeps me from wanting to have children altogether. I don’t want to lose my identity and just be mommy. To sum up, it’s taken me too damned long to find myself to lose my individuality to a bald midget with a penchant for screaming. And the scariest thing is that whole time before first grade. Years 0 through 6 terrify me because I won’t be able to send the midget away for the whole day so I won’t get 8 hours a day to be me. Adopting a 6 year old is looking REALLY GOOD right about now. What do you guys think?

Chuck and Susan 4EVA!
Tonight’s episode of ER was mediocre at best, but at least the story line progressed a little. To sum up, Elizabeth is dating around, Carter misses his annoying fiancee, Chen is back from China and taking care of her Dad, Nila freaks out in a hyperbolic chamber, and Kovac is sleeping with the new nurse. Nothing particularly special but it was an ok episode. Next week’s episode is supposed to be huge.
But anyway, if you didn’t know by now Susan Lewis (Sherry Stringfield) is pregnant with Chuck’s (Donal Logue) baby! She told her dad in a bar while he was watching a Maple Leafs game (somehow I think Donal got that written into the show being Canadian and all). Her Dad asks if he’s gonna marry her to which Chuck replies “If she’ll have me.” OOOH! I got all misty. I love Sherry and Donal together on screen! Ok I’m over it.
I guess I have a real thing for Donal cause he reminds me of Jason. It’s not just the Canadian thing either. They’re both kinda tall, chubby, goofy, and have a little bit of the red hair thing going (but not in that obnoxious Little Orphan Annie kind of way) even though Jason’s had some help from L’oreal. Anyway, I love them both (Jason a little bit more… ok a lot more).
