Ring in 2006 at our suburban house of decadence.
There will be an open bar—stocked with chocolate milk and grape juice!
There will be primo drugs—Alka-Seltzer Cold Plus and Amoxicillin (bubble gum flavor)!
There will be a dancing girl—the 3-year-old who refuses to put on her jammies!
There will be hard core movies—Cinderella and Lion King!
There will be tasty gourmet appetizers—pizza and Pop Tarts!
There will be titillating conversation —with Bailey and Jack the dogs!
There will be rockin’ music—by Fisher Price battery operated toys that play the same darn tune over and over!
We’ll be passing out the noisemakers at 11:45 p.m. sharp. Don’t miss out on the fun. Everyone who is anyone (at our house) will be there.

Classic Writing Book Gets a Hip New Look
December 30, 2005 By 1 Comment
I write so much about my kids and motherhood, you’d think this was a mom blog or something. Sheesh. I’m a little late to be posting on this gift idea for writer types, but I received the new illustrated Elements of Style by Strunk and White from a fellow editor for Christmas and it’s a great addition to any word nerd’s library. Designer Maira Kalman, whose work has graced a Kate Spade bag and fabrics by Isaac Mizrahi as well as the cover of The New Yorker, has illustrated this new 2005 version and it’s worth checking out.
All Disney, All the Time
December 30, 2005 By 1 Comment
I had this crazy whim this morning that I’d see how long we could go without popping in a Disney DVD. Caitlin and Amelia have been sick all week with bad colds and I lost track last night of who was waking up and what ungodly hour it was and who got cold medicine and saline drops and Vicks and when I crawled into bed with Caitlin and her 5,000 stuffed animals that she insists on sleeping with. Being the whacky mom that I am I was telling the hubby this morning that I was concerned with the hours we are logging this week glued to the TV mindlessly watching Lion King and Cinderella. We made it three hours in to the morning without giving in to the movie bug. On a “let’s be thankful for our blessings” sidenote, I’m just glad this isn’t the week I am scheduled to start going in to the office. Now excuse me while I curl up with my girl and zone out to Hakuna Matata for the zillionth time.
