I wrote a list of things that I’m thankful for this Thanksgiving. It’s up on Babble.com today. Here’s the link. That said, I want to tell all of you, I’m thankful to you as well. Thank you for reading. I didn’t know what I was doing or why I was doing it when I started my blog about a year and a half ago. But, now I realize that the best part about blogging is “talking” with all of you. Thank you so much for reading. And replying. And emailing. (Don’t ring the doorbell though.) I always look forward to our chats. Happy Thanksgiving.

What I’m about to say has nothing to do with this quote I’m re-blogging, but I liked it so I wanted to show it to you. In other news, I have a piece up on Babble today called “Nineteen Lessons I Learned In (My Kid’s) Kindergarten.” Here’s 19: School crossing guards don’t like to hear any excuses about why you didn’t listen when they told you to stop. They don’t care if you are running really late to a hair appointment. They also don’t take bribes. If you’d like to read more, you can click here for the article on Babble. If you don’t want to read more, have a nice Labor Day Weekend. (Aren’t I low pressure today?)

Interesting fashion news from the Wall Street Journal: ”Teen apparel retailer Abercrombie & Fitch Co. is offering to pay Michael ‘The Situation’ Sorrentino not to wear its merchandise. The company has ’deep concern’ over the association between Mr. Sorrentino and the brand. A&F offered up a ‘substantial payment’ to Mr. Sorrentino ‘to wear an alternate brand.’”  In other fashion news…. Well, it’s not really news, I wrote a piece for Babble about being a fashionista. It’s a bit tongue in cheek. It’s already been called a waste of cyberspace by one commenter. You can go see for yourself. (How’s that for a compelling offer?) Photo: MTV

This one’s a bit of a stretch for “Things I Found On The Internet Week” but whatever… I wrote an essay about things I wish I had known before I became a mom and it’s hot off the Internet press. If you’re interested, take my hand and stroll with me over to the parenting site, Babble.com to read it. If you’d prefer to skip my piece, that’s fine with me. I understand. Obviously, you have better things to do. Clearly, the fact that I worked really hard at writing something means nothing. You’re busy. I get it. I guess I thought we were friends. I was wrong. And, no, I’m not crying about this. I was thinking about the note on the nursery wall in “Juno.” And there’s something in my eye. And, I was just chopping onions. (Oh my goodness, you’re still here? What do I have to do to get you to go read my essay?!)
