Hats & Lunch & Some Thoughts About Jenny McCarthy

Just wrapped up a winter hat hairstyles video shoot (coming up soon; the style pictured above is #5: The Bad Hair Day Solution). Right now I'm eating lunch and going through the stacks of paper sitting on my "desk" (a.k.a. our dining room table, sorry Kendrick), and came across an article that I tore out of OK Magazine a few weeks ago.

Now, I'm not usually a big article-clipper, and I don't usually get my life lessons from tabloids...but this Q&A with Jenny McCarthy hit home so much that I wanted to save it. And share it with you.

Here's the relevant part:

Counting Clouds

Three screenings of Planes (for real; I think someone was excited about flying), one waffle, one banana, one cup of blueberries, one cup of pasta, one cup of cereal, one cup of dried green beans, two applesauces, three crackers, one yogurt parfait, and one McDonald's egg-and-cheese biscuit later (what can I say? the child can eat), and we're in San Francisco!

Of course, the first order of business was to head straight to In-N-Out Burger for some animal style action. Because we were starving.

When You And Your Partner Have Different Schedules (A Little On Loneliness)

Q. Hi Jordan,

I've been dealing with some new circumstances as a newlywed, and I was wondering if you could help. My husband and I have exact opposite work schedules. I am alone at home a majority of the time and we often go days without seeing each other in a state of consciousness, and I find myself getting lonelier and lonelier. I'm a very social person, I have a really fulfilling job, we have a dog, and I work out all the time, but it's a totally new type of experience when the house feels so...alone.

Spending time with him is obviously a huge priority for me, but it feels like my life is constantly dictated by his schedule, from when I get to see him to trying to schedule with my friends to when I get to eat meals to how much sleep I get. I'm really struggling with how much more this affects me than him, and it feels really unbalanced and, honestly, unfair.

When Is The Right Time, Part Deux

A few days ago, shortly after I made our announcement, I got an email from someone who said that I was "crazy" for having another baby now, with a husband who's in business school in another state. And while I'm not sure the comment was especially well-intentioned...I still thought that it was interesting, because it brings up a question that everyone wonders about - worries about - when it comes to when to begin (or expand) their own family.
