I felt like Steve Martin in The Jerk today when the UPS guy swung by my house with The IT’s Girl’s Guide to Blogging with Moxie.
Navin R. Johnson: The new phone book’s here! The new phone book’s here!
Harry Hartounian: Boy, I wish I could get that excited about nothing.
Navin R. Johnson: Nothing? Are you kidding? Page 73 - Johnson, Navin R.! I’m somebody now! Millions of people look at this book everyday! This is the kind of spontaneous publicity - your name in print - that makes people. I’m in print! Things are going to start happening to me now.
The IT’s Girl’s Guide is written by Joelle Reeder and Kathy Scoleri of Moxie Design Studios, my longtime fave design destination. I love them so much, I decided to do a video review of the book. Only I didn’t get all fixed up first. Wet hair, no makeup, old, gray maternity hoodie jacket. Mindy in her natural habitat. You’re welcome.
I write. A lot.
I also design stuff and collect funny things kids say. Oh, and please buy my book. It's very funny.
I also review books and keep track of them in The Mommy Blog Amazon Book Store.

My son was in the same room as me when I was getting dressed one day. I scratched the top of my left breast a little and he said, “Mommy, you are touching your —-!”
I said to him, “I just have an itch,” to which he responded, “That’s *your* excuse!”

Jax: Mommy, here’s a little piece of toilet paper to wipe the tip.
Mommy: The tip of what?
Jax: Your penis.

After being told to go outside and pick up the dog poop, he goes outside, whines and complains. He comes back in and says, “Mom, I think the dog over-pooped.”

When I woke up one morning with a sore throat, raspy voice, and fever, my three-year-old, Emilie, asked me what was wrong. I said, “Mama has a cold…” and she felt my cheek for a minute before saying, “No. You has a hot!”

Do you know how I memorized 2 x 11? I have this fake pencil in my brain, and it writes down the multiplication!!

I clicked on your post because I thought it was I.T. girls (I’m a former Information Technology Manager), but it sounds like a great book even though it isn’t directed towards girls in the I.T. industry! I’ll have to go get it!

You are so awesome, it’s not even funny.
Thanks so much! Do let us know how you like it (and tell Amazon! hehe!)
Thanks, Mindy!

Ah, ya’ got me! I’ve been trying not to spend money (damn property taxes) but I’m shelling out the dough for this book and a certain $158 scarf at Anthropologie that I truly should not be buying.
