Do I smell?

I'm a bit disappointed because I wasn't invited to write for a new mommy blog about which I'd inquired. I thought it would be kind of fun to write for another outlet while allowing me to chronicle my rather crazy mommy life.

But I was rejected. So I have to think that I must be too fabulous to join the group because it can't be my writing, can it? I've worked very hard to become a decent business writer and so far, so good. Perhaps I'm not entertaining or witty enough?

Can you see all of my junior high insecurities rearing their ugly heads again? No, I'm no longer relegated to the outcasts' lunch table with Anita, the girl who ate green bean sandwiches, but I am developing a bit of a complex.

But, wait! I'm a vice president of marketing. I have two beautiful, happy daughters. I have a husband who loves me (most of the time). So, why in the hell do I care about some mean mommy bloggers? Actually, I don't.

My daughter, the graduate

On June 26, 2008, Miss Petra Rose graduated from pre-primary school. God. help. me.

Thank Goodness!

Jen Lancaster is coming to town! And I can't wait. She'll be at the Boylston St. Barnes & Noble tomorrow at 6pm to sign books, share stories and (hopefully) drink chardonnay.

I finished her latest book, Such a Pretty Fat, last night and was truly disappointed when I found myself at the last page. Her writing is witty, intelligent and very snarky. I mean, who else has the cajones to call out a woman for railing against birthday cake at a Weight Watchers meeting?

Anyhoo, I just popped in to say hello. I know I haven't written much, but I hope you'll understand...what with the new job and all.
