My Guy before coffee: “I’m a defenseless little kitten.”

“Mom, what is all that black under your eye, and those lines?”

“Oh, maybe it’s makeup.” I wiped my eyes. “Better?”

“Not really.”

Then I remembered I haven’t worn makeup in about three days.

Btw, when I told him that the lines were wrinkles, he patted my arm and said, “Mama, you’re too young to have wrinkles.”

I said, “Does it help that they are laugh lines? Those are the good kind, right? RIGHT?”

Just heard from a friend: Please tune into Ewan McGregor’s live broadcast on Regis and Kelly this Friday Feb/19th. Ewan is a spokesman and fundraiser for UNICEF, The United Nations Children’s Fund, and has been spearheading relief efforts within the U.S. and abroad to help the organization. Please assist if you’re able. You can learn more at UNICEF.ORG!

Here it is! If you know of someone looking in the Los Gatos/Bay Area, CA for a GREAT house to raise a family in, or entertain, this is perfect. One of those great kitchens to which everyone seems to gravitate at parties. Fab paint throughout. Bitchin’ wisteria that covers the whole back pergola over a dining area.

See for yourself—the virtual tour.

As you know, I’m motivated and might be extra flexible if you say you saw it on The Mommy Blog! Bonus: the master bath has to be gutted and remodeled… wouldn’t you love to get to pick what goes in it? Here’s a chance to decorate it yourself!

I think people who are going to work intimately with me on long-term projects should remember what I do for a living, and know that I try very hard never to stray from the high road.

But they should keep it in mind.

White fucking chenille couch and shag carpet that my kids have to stay off of for the couple of months we’re selling the house, my ass. Oh, and you’re bringing in photo prints so I should take down the Chagalls? Okey doke.
