Brain Freeze

Someone just left a comment on the "comments section" telling me that they were searching the "web" for "diaper cakes" and found this blog. I'll have to try that. I can't imagine I've ever included content that would make this blog ripe for associating with diapers, diaper cakes, or other such random associations. I'm thinking I may have made a disparaging remark about a previous comment left by the self proclaimed "diaper king." Maybe that was it. Scary. Still -- to think that people doing searches for anything related to diapers would find my blog has left me a tad cold. (For the record, I actually know what a "diaper cake" is -- I have an acquaintaince who makes them for baby showers. It involves rolling up lots of diapers and stacking them to create a tiered cake sort of looking thing. Then, she decorates them with little baby accessories - like bottles, diaper pins, rattles, etc.)

Gail Sheehy has published a book about the sexuality of older human women. She says that she finds that adult children are generally shocked to find out their mothers are dating and act as if their mothers are out of control when showing interest in the opposite sex. It seems inconsistent to me that humans place so much emphasis and importance on sex (heck, you people even use sex to sell burritos) but yet seem to completely cut women who are no longer "kittens" out of the sexual world completely. I don't know why humans don't even flinch at the thought of geezer men having it off, fathering children, or running around after women with abandon --- but lose all sense of good manners at the thought of any older woman being naked in the company of another human, much less having sex.

I hear that Sparkle has scored her/himself a fat little award that is going to allow her/him to take a year off from the day job. Now who is going to make the muckity-mucks in ties' heads spin?
