I Suck.

I love celebrations.

And, you know how I love to give away things.

Did you know my $#@%ing 1 year Blogiversary was March 29th?

HOW did I let that get by?

Ugh.

Seriously.

I feel like I just caught a glimpse of my birth certificate and I am older than I thought.

I am really bummed.

I had BIG, BIG plans for this.

Does someone want to throw me a surprise Blogiversary Party?

No? 

Okay.

At least leave me a nice comment telling me how over the past year my writing has changed your life.

Thanks.

I've only been reading for a few weeks, but now you're in my reader so I'm a faithful follower. I love your desire to foster optimism in children. And your wit. :)

I am changed forever..now I have to admit my favorite game when I have a free "ME" moment..I pop over to your blog and search a random word..why here? Because your blog is wonderfully full of all kinds of things and I am rarely dissapointed. Not only will there be several posts to pick from (no matter what the word) but they will be fun too.

OMG, I laughed so hard. For a whole 6 months I thought I was turning 37, when I was already 37 & about to turn 38. I was older than I thought.

I've still never figured out how I could not have known my own age.

Anywho, you're writing has changed my life in ways too numerous to mention. (How's that?)

I keep thinking that at every 100, I will do a big, celebratory post. But every time, I don't notice until 203 or 305. Oh well.

I fell in love with you when I read your ode to Big Lots and have been reading ever since. You totally rock!

I would write something deep and profound here, but I am unable to...as I am crying and thanking God that I've known you almost a year. You know that I say, at least once a day, "Where has Tiffany been all my life?"

Really.
I love you forever.

Happy Blogoversary!! Even if it is a week or so late. But it's not MY fault now is it?? :)

Just shake your booty to rid yourself of frustration. Even though it's targeted for under 6, I can guarantee it works for us old folks too!!

How did that get by you? You must be a busy girl!

Of course your writing changed my life! If you hadn't blogged about your secret wish for a brass vanity...I would have always felt like a weirdo for wanting one too. :)

OB...No, not another tampon post.

I 'd like to start by proclaiming that I am in madly in love with my husband. In no way does this moment of "gyno-attraction" diminish his hotness and my love for said hotness. Having said that, let's begin. So I feel pretty safe in saying my OB is hotter than your OB. Okay, make that "was", because when we left LA for St. George, I had to leave his glorious, silver, stirrups. But he is worth a post. Trust me on this . Let's start with our first (and only) encounter. It was my 6 week follow up after having The Boy. My regular OB was out of town, so they assigned me to Dr. McHottie. I walked into the room with no idea of what was to come. I got undressed (from the waist down of course) and stuck my feet in the stirrups. Then he walked in. A cross between Jake Gyllenhall and Channing Tatum. In scrubs. G.O.R.G.E.O.U.S. I got all kinds of flustered and the conversation went something like this. McHottie : "Hello Mrs. R." (Cleverly remin...

My Big News and a $100.

Image
It just dawned on me that I have had some super exciting news that I haven't officially shared! You all know how I feel about the importance of optimism and resiliency in the successes I've had in my life and how important it is to pass those on to my son. Did you know my company is named "Bright Future Managment"? Doesn't get more optimistic than that! A few months ago, I was contacted by a PR firm representing Pepperidge Farm. They were interested in interviewing me for a faculty position for Fishful Thinking , an initiative that offers parents tools for fostering optimism in kids. Now, as the director of one of LA's largest and oldest private summer camps, I get contacted to participate in all kinds of things for kids... usually, I pass, as I want to spend all my free time with my boys. But in this case, the message and the presentation was so incredible, I jumped at the chance and agreed to the interview. Within the first 5 minutes of the interview I wa...
