Here Comes Baby...

And no, the title of this blog is probably not conducive to your line of thinking right now. I am not "with child." I repeat, I am NOT with child. Phew...

I am actually dedicating this blog to my colleague, Elaine. Yes that is actually her real name. And in case you were wondering she did give me the approval to blog about her and use her real name. I did offer her the opportunity to choose her own pseudo name; however, my blog readers thank you in advance, E! :-)

Now Miss Elaine is 23-years old and quite the interesting little character. I find there's never truly a dull moment when she is around. I; also being a little bit of a drama queen, love when the girl takes center stage. The following you are about to read takes place on a Friday evening in the office. (The same office where just a bit before I had shut the door to perform mid-afternoon jumping jacks... I told you we were a special breed at work!)

Elaine (while plucking eyebrows) - "So, I'm thinking about selling my eggs for $8,000 and getting liposuction."
Andrea - "I don't think that's a good idea." (I am SOOO playing Captain Obvious in this screenplay right now.)
Elaine - "Why not?"
Andrea - "Well I don't think there's anything wrong with selling your eggs but only if your doing it for the right reasons. I'm not quite sure that lipo qualifies. Besides why do you want lipo? Your not even fat. " (She's not.)
Elaine - (PS - I don't remember if these are the exact words or not but hey, it's my blog and I write what I want to now, don't I?!?!) :-) "It's just always been a lifelong dream of mine." (Yeah, I kinda think I made that line up... sorry E-dogg...)

Cute little intern comes in. Whom, might I also add, has probably only met us a handful of times.
I forget her name. We'll call her Viola.

Andrea - "Ask Viola if it's a good idea."
Elaine - "Sooo I'm thinking that I want to sell my eggs and get lipo."
Viola - "Your not even fat."
Andrea - "Thank YOU!"
Viola - "And what if you gain weight again?"
Elaine - "Well I'll just sell more eggs."
Andrea - "And it becomes a vicious cycle?! So do you want to have kids yourself someday?"
Elaine - (with the most incredulous look ever I might add!) "Not for a loooooong time!!"
Andrea - "Yeah, but if you start giving away all your eggs, I think it might be harder to reproduce in the long run. You need to think long term." (Hayzeus, I have truly become a practical grown up."
Andrea - "AND. Don't you just think it will be weird knowing that there's some mini-you out there running around?"
Elaine - "Yeah but look I will be helping someone who can't have a baby."
Andrea - "Can I blog about you???"

End scene.

And today I get a text that says... 'blog this - surrogate mothers get 25K. sooo tempted.'
