(This entry accompanied by the sound of fingers tapping on my desk)
I've been waiting for this to happen. I'm not sure why. Maybe it's because a few months ago I heard that while accompanying her bizarre sister Britney, Jamie Lynn Spears used some filthy language with a reporter/papparazi. For those of you who are unfamiliar with the pre-teen scene, Jamie Lynn is the GOOD Spears who appears on Nickelodeon in a series called "Zoey 101". She is Zoey. She is adored. She portrays a 14 or so year old girl, who is kind and clever and popular. (blahblahblah, yanno?) So the language said to me "Ehh, she's gonna be trouble one day." Similar to Lindsey Lohan, or Britney herself.

Dammit. Jamie's pregnant. She's sixteen, living with a 19 year old boyfriend (or rather he's living with HER since she brings in the bucks) and preggers. They announced it on Bob and Tom this morning, decrying it with "Where are the parents??" Well duh! They're trying to navigate the shark-infested waters surrounding their grandchildren!! Who has time for a fairly well-behaved 16 year old girl who should be learning how NOT to act from her big sister?
Scarlett of course heard it, and said "What what what?? How did THAT happen????"
To which I responded "Sex, honey. She's having sex."
siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigh
I am counting on her personal experience as a child born out of wedlock to prevent her from having sex too early. I KNOW I need to do more that that. siiiiiiiiiiiigh again
We put up the tree last night. Not finished, but at least started and moved furniture around. Cats aren't interested enough to climb it, are merely batting at ornaments so far. SO FAR.
Cable (and thus intranets) is off. I suspected it was coming. Just didn't know when. Eh, doesn't matter. She'll be gone by Friday, and I might get it taken care of next week. Might not. I miss my intranets, but such is life, yes? I have gifts to buy, and groceries. So in exchange, no cable. I can live with that.
