I am a SATC fan and yet, like you, so didn’t relate to them or envy to be them. I’m not sure why I enjoy the show so much. Maybe because I’m a sucker for stories about single women, older like not in their 20s, who end up finding happiness because I AM a single woman in her 30s who is a spinster with cats.

Kelly is just ridiculous. I wasn’t always the hugest Bethenny fan until Kelly came along this season.

I’m glad you’re finally getting in an almost-daily shower! Good for you!!!

A humiliation situation.

A total break in the suspension of disbelief, that.

You know, you have me thinking that it was possible that we had BOTH colic and reflux also. I’d never thought about that before, really, because I’m always like, what IS colic anyway?? But, hmmm. I wonder.

Today is my birthday and my gift to myself is Real Houswives of New York City reruns. I am soooo excited.

I think you have a perfectly fair analysis of SATC – it is all those things and probably more. Plus you have a fair perspective that you were probably not their target audience. But! Yet I have to defend it because I’ve always loved it. It just has a place in my heart. Probably more so the watching of the show than the shot itself at this point. However, I think that no one related to 1 character in particular, but a combination of all of them – that is from one time or another. There was always something on some level you could find to relate to and make you feel better to know you are not alone in the dating/finding yourself morass.
Further, my feeling was that it was supposed to be over the top. No one lives like that, no one dresses like that – but it was fun. It was exactly like all couture and fashion shows are- it is not meant to be worn directly, but it is for a show and enjoyment. Yet you can take a piece here and there and translate it to your needs. I always felt that this was the same thing. Not to be taken exactly literally. (Sorry to go on (and on and on) but like I said the show held a special place in my heart.)

It’s funny you mention SATC because over this past weekend I realized that I am a married version of Samantha. Get me alone with my friends and it’s all I can talk about. I become a sex evangelist. IT CURES EVERYTHING! Especially boredom and upset husbands, but also headaches! (Stop looking at me like I’m CRAZY. I swear it comes back to you… eventually.)

Jonna, you are the poster child for grace under fire. I’m endlessly impressed.

It was when she got out of bed when Miranda called on New Years’ Eve and actually went to Miranda’s place (in that ridiculous outfit). That would have never happened during the series’ run – Carrie was a completely self-absorbed character that never ran to her friends’ sides.

For me, at least, that was the saving scene of the whole movie.

BTW, will they let you give her some gas drops? I found that helped a lot. If you give her some before feeding, it helps to reduce the size of the gas bubbles that are formed in the digestion process, while the Zantac will help to reduce the acid. Just a little assvice for the taking.
