Anyway, if I do not answer here, I will totally try to answer your questions or concerns in private. We like to call that "taking it off-line". I know, that is SO the perfect phrase for this very situation! I am learning so many new things everyday. Oops, I could go on and on about what I am learning in the "blogosphere", but your questions are much more important. So here we go....
Q: MaddieP, you talked last week about the variance in your possible arrival dates and I was wondering, could you give me the inside scoop on when YOU think you'll arrive and what you'll tip the scales at once you get here? This information would be very valuable for the office baby pool we have going. Harold - Phoenix, AZ
A: Before I get into the answer Harry (can I call you Harry?), let me address something that grabbed my attention in the wording of your actual inquiry. I don't know what your current relationship status is, but I'm going to guess SINGLE, because you apparently have no tact when it comes to talking to girls. No girl ever wants to have the phrase "tipping the scales" associated with them in any way, shape, or form! I mean, really Harry, what could you possibly have been thinking? I am almost too insulted to continue answering your question, but for the benefit of the rest of my readers who may also have baby pools in progress dedicated to my arrival, I will press on.
I honestly think I am going to greet the world on April 2nd or April 3rd. This would make me almost perfectly, fashionably late. Did you expect anything less from me?! I won't be early (TACKY!), exactly on-time (ANNOYING!), or super-late (REALLY-ANNOYING!). Since it essentially is a party (a soiree for me if you will), I am applying the same arrival time party rules as I would in any other scenario. Totally logical right?! I mean, coming early, or even exactly on-time for that matter, could just create a ton of problems; people are still in the shower, apps haven't come out of the oven, the bar still isn't fully stocked, and dad's out running around for random things that mom forgot to buy at the grocery store, but now we have these PEOPLE in the way who need to be entertained! OMG! No good! And super-late is even worse since the party has already started winding down, guests have already left, the food supply is low while the bar is almost cashed, and DJ AM has reached his last milk crate of vinyl. Also no good! Bet heavy and bet often on April 2 or 3 ;)
As for my weight, I think we'll just leave that alone. You can guess whatever you want, but might get kicked out of maddiepandfriends Google group if I find out you picked over 9lbs. I'm just saying......
Excellent inquiry Harry!
Q: I am having SO much trouble beating Guitar Hero III on the "Hard" level, especially the song "One". I saw pictures of you and your mom playing, so I was wondering if you had any advice to help me get to "Expert"? Brian - Boston, MA
A: My mom and I had the SAME problem and we had a HECK of a time getting over the proverbial hump in GH3. When my mom first started playing, I would "encourage" her not to mess up by kicking her firmly in the ribs every time she missed a note. At first, it didn't seem to help as we ended up getting booed off stage quite a few times even though I was "encouraging" my little heart out. However, surprisingly, she continued playing and I continued kicking, and eventually, we had the whole crowd rocking. Before we knew it, we were at 98% accuracy and were shredding every song! You really need to apply the 3Ps to the situ Brian: Persistence, Patience, and Practice. If you do that, I think you'll most definitely make it in the virtual rock world! Please post comments with video once you accomplish your goal OK?! I am SO interested to see if my advice helped :)
Rock on Brian!
Q: Have you selected anyone to do your hair for your arrival yet? Also, how will the method of your arrival affect your hairstyle (i.e. caesarean or natural) since your head could possibly be misshaped? Amanda - Cleveland, OH
A: I put a call in to Ken Paves already to see what his schedule was looking like for April. His people have yet to return my messages (SO rude!), but I really liked the way he did Jessica Simpson's hair for the Grammys so I'm PRAYING they call soon... WHOA! Hold on just a FRICKING minute here! "...since your head could possibly be misshaped?.." Amanda, what do you mean "misshaped"? Is there a reason why my head would, for some ungodly reason, not come out 100% perfectly round and cute?! I do not understand your question.
OK, I just spoke with my dad and he explained that if I was born "naturally", my head might be elongated and, as Amanda the cow said, misshaped! I was really, really, disheartened by this information, but dad told me he was sure Ken could pull of some fantastic "UpDo" that would completely disguise any "head irregularities" during the first few days. Unfortunately, I have also heard that many babies are born without a lot of hair, so Ken may have to pull of a MIRACLE! Don't worry Ken, I have plenty of faith in you. You were SO awesome on Oprah! Also, my dad assured me that my head would be perfectly round and cute within days, so if my hair was thin, Ken could probably just add some temporary extensions and everything would be OK.
Appreciate the foresight Amanduh!
Alright, I'm pretty much out of time for a Friday! We're going out tonight so I need to get some sleep before dinner. Also, I see some Pinot Noir in my future, so I am not kidding, I seriously need some rest! Later........
