Programming Note: I don't wanna act like the Media Celebrity has gone to my head, but I DID get recognized by 3 people in the Chicago Airport en route to 'the M states' for The Baby Jesus' & and Baby New Year's (he has less effective publicists, don't you think?) Birthdays...Fine, 2 of them were my kids that I tried...

More Makeup Trends I'm Following For You Because I'm... Trend #1)  "High Def":  Lots of new face makeup products (when they are not utilizing the term "mineral") are rocking the 'High Definition' marketing. What makes it High Def? Sephora's website describes it:   "Originally designed for use in film and television, high-definition makeup provides...

The Palin Effect Kate Gosselin- love or hate her- has a certain something which makes you look.  Even my mom knows who "Kate" is...& Mom's idea of  'following reality shows' is the one time she watched 2 minutes of Top Chef with me- because I hid her remote control. Sarah Palin certainly has that same Make...

Baby Patrick's Big Adventure-- as told by Baby Patrick;... I had to wait for them all to become distracted to make my break. At thishouse, the wait was not long. My big sissie Maggie had a hurt back so Daddy was examining it (because since he's a pharmaceutical rep, that makes him an honorary Doctor?).  Seeing my shot, I set out for the journey of a lifetime....

Baby Patrick

Please don’t judge me, man.  I have a CrazyTown mom who can apply concealer with her pinky while driving a car and putting her straw in a Starbucks and reciting the entirety of Paul Revere by The Beastie Boys and 3 big sisters who, frankly, are just a few more dance competitions away from being their own episode of Toddlers and Tiaras.  It’s a wonder  I’m not dressed like Liberace, my hair in french braids and carrying a Barbie by now!

I’m serious.  He has opted to skip his nap.  So, I am now barred into the kitchen watching Round 3 of Caveman V Kitty.   When he gets tired and unruly — as most 15 month old boys do after NO nap— he morphs from Patrick the Prince into CroMagnan Paddy.  Like a teeny caveman, he stumbles around grunting, pulling the kitty’s hair, wildly stuffing the cat food into his mouth & throwing things.

Thus, my time to write is limited until CroMagnan Boy either falls over or takes another handful of Tigger’s tufts and I have to break things up…

So I’ll share with you where I am in NotSoSoccerMom Inc spin-off company #3 (or is it 45?)

Introducing  (drum roll please)   (if I knew how to upload a drum roll, I’d really be dangerous but —ooooops– now CroMagnan Paddy is bathing in the kitty’s water bowl — so back to basics.

Jill…. & Paddy… & Tigger

My next one—which I didnt’ have time to work on cuz Paddy is now strumming–errrrr- de-stringing Daddy’s guitar,  is going to say

“Tailgaters will be given destructive toddler & furless cat. Both eat same food. “

Baby Patrick: “Momma, where were you yesterday? Daddy tried to give me milk in a cup and I like my bottle.”

NotSoSoccerMom Jill: “Momma will give baby whatever he wants!!!!!!!  Momma get you bottle, sweet little angel.  But, thanks for askin. I was at the International Beauty Show in NYC.  And International it was. There were even people from the foreign country of California who speak Surfese.

B.P.:  ”You left me all day with Daddy and the 3 magpies who could not keep up with ANY of my pacifiers, by the way, to go to a Beauty Show?”

NSSMJill:  ”Yes, I ventured in to New York City by my own little self.  I drove right in like a pro, parked, then cruised into the Jacob Javits convention center sportin’ a cute outfit, cute shoes, a Press Pass… and a dream. ”

B.P.: “I like to chew on shoes. Sometimes I throw them…”

NSSMJill: “Everything else went great, but the cute shoes? Big mistake.  See momma’s blisters?  However I am proud to report THIS about the world of beauty: IF you don’t know what Moroccan Oil is yet, you need to. This is an awesome leave in oil treatment & styling product line and their booth was swamped. Then, I found Eve Pearl and watched her do makeovers on people! She is celebrity makeup artist and has her own line of products AND does pieces for The Today Show. She’s coming on my radio show soon.”

B.P. “Mommy, It’s not like she’s Tickle Me Elmo.”

NSSMJill: “Mineral makeup booths were huge, too.  At one booth I looked up and Mackenzie Phillips was there.”

B.P. “Daddy said you were supposed to be WORKING, not shopping. Who is Mackenzie Phillips? Is she is 3rd grade with Madison, Morgan, McKenna & McKinley?:

NSSMJill: “How come someone who can barely talk already knows The Money Lecture? MacKenzie Phillips used to be on TV.”

B.P. “Was SHE ever on Sesame Street with Elmo?????”

NSSMJill: “Anyways, Paddy, then I walked around some more, and almost bought a $225 LED hand held laser for my sk-”

B.P. “Daddy said-”

NSSMJill: “BUT I DIDN’T!  I did purchase a 2200 thread count ‘anti-aging’ pillowcase.  And just when I was about to leave, I walked down one last row and gasp~  who should be there but celebrity makeup artist, most famously known as J-Lo’s makeup man Scott Barnes!!?????  I got to meet him and have my picture taken with him and HE might come on my show, too!!  This would be like Jerry meeting some BassMaster’s fisherman or -”

B.P. “Like ME meeting Tickle Me Elmo??  Which I haven’t yet! Ahem. … So I think I’ll take my bottle and blankie and go ni-ni now….”

I am definitely planning on having lots more of these birthday things!  Apparently I turned something called ”One” yesterday. I had no idea.  

My Gigi and Papa came from Nebraska to visit.  I did not have to nap.  My mom kept smooching me all day.   And,  (I really cannot believe this part), there were BALLOONS!
