Is she right?

I wore a baseball cap to my meeting with my midwife yesterday because I was getting my hair done after. The first thing she said to me when she saw me was "I have never met anyone (in my program) who has worn a baseball cap in her pregnancy and not had a boy." Very interesting. Will I be the first to prove to her that you can wear a baseball cap and have a girl, or will she be right? We'll know soon enough.

Dinner Suggestions?

I have come down with a bit of a cold and don't really have an appetite. John and I were supposed to go out for dinner tonight to celebrate my last day at work, but I don't feel like it now. I suggested that we just stay home and have Popsicles for supper. He thought that was funny. I was being serious.
I'm sure we'll order pizza or something.

Steve Martin on being one of People Magazine's "50 Most Beautiful People"

It's very hard being one of the most beautiful people. Having this kind of beauty is actually a burden. Sometimes I go to a party and not one of the other 49 most beautiful people is there. That makes me feel very solitary and alone, because it means I am the most beautiful person in the room. If I'm going to a party where I know there will be 'less-beautiful people,' I try to 'dress down' in order to hide my beauty. But this seems to have a counter-effect of actually making me more beautiful. I guess me and dungarees are a pretty potent combination. I try not to lord my beauty over others. This is very hard. I try not to mention that I am one of the most beautiful people, but somehow it always comes out. I will usually only bring it up when I'm asked to do a task, like open a garage door. People seem to enjoy my beauty and are genuinely happy for me, because after I mention it they always say 'How nice for you.'
