I don't know nuthin' about birthin' babies....

Recently, I've been thinking about becoming a doula.
I don't know why, but the idea popped into my head that I should help women bring a baby onto this earth.
Then I thought about how to become certified to perform marriages.
That's right...I got it in my head that I wanted to officiate marriage ceremonies!
Clearly, I am going through some things....lol.

Thanks to one of my friends on fb, I started watching these documentaries about Japan. One was about this couple in Yamagata. It was pretty interesting, kinda sad but true to life. Another was about suicide. Interesting and sad too. The third one was about the Hikkimori. Fascinating as well.  The PBS program Independent Lens featured a young Tibetan couple(and their baby) and followed their nomadic life. There aren't too many nomadic people anymore, so it was great to watch them.

This weekend is going to be scorcher...I can hardly wait.
I want some cherry liqueur and some strawberry Arbor Mist and a Mojito...LOL

xoxoxo
