As you see, I’ve finally followed my dream and made my little e-mail list a real live blog.
Step one was picking a name. That was a bit overwhelming. Do I take on my love of makeup/ skincare and call it “PoreMe” (get it?) That sounded a bit negative. So, I thought of references from 80’s movies; “FeedTheFishMayonaise”- a line from Night Shift— which, while funny to me, is too long and obscure and what if some people don’t know how to spell ‘mayonnaise’ and end up on someone else’s blog devoted to the perfect BLT? Maybe one of my favorite sayings? “That’sHowIRoll.” But am I street enough to pull this off? I do own Earth Wind and Fire’s Greatest Hits…Course I ended up with NotSoSoccerMom.com. To tell the truth, my husband thought of it. And THAT’S IT: that’s the only time I’m giving him credit for anything until he once and for all lets go of the Cream Couch Fight of 99′. Yes, I do stand by the fact that cream couches were a sound purchase with a two and a one year old.

In Today’s Smalltown, New Jersey Independent Light & Shopper.
An unlikely group has been hit the hardest during the current economic crisis, according to research by the JLH Institute, an independent, not-for-profit (not for lack of trying) think tank based in Bear Country, New Jersey. Recent studies by the Institute say the hardest hit section of society was not Minorities, Blue Collar Workers or “the Rich”, but Fourth Graders. Yes, Fourth Graders; those lovable scamps whose main goal in life is to attain a cell phone, beat their dad at Guitar Hero & get a passing grade on Friday’s spelling test. We spoke to one of the unfortunate Fourth Graders whose life has been turned topsy turvy by the economic crisis. Allie Grace of Pine Tree School said, “My mom said we are cutting back. Now I can’t get new Foot Undies for dance today! I have been begging and working for these since like, noon yesterday and now, I might have to wait a few weeks or, UGH, not even get them and have to use my two other pairs. That’s all I have to say right now cuz my little sister is trying to carry my baby brother upstairs by herself and my mom is on the computer… probably on Facebook.”

If you are wondering what Foot Undies are, they are the tiniest, miniature dance ’shoe’ so a dancer can simulate being barefoot while still having a piece of fabric over the ball of their feet for turns. If you are wondering how much these items, roughly the size of Barbie underpants cost, they are $20. If you are wondering how I’m going to bounce back during this here recession, you can find me upstairs sewing teensy overpriced Foot Undies….

I just heard that Dr. Phil is meeting with Octuplet Mom Nadja Sulemon. Actually what I heard was “Octumom meets with Dr. Phil at California Mansion.” Where to start? ”Octomom?” She’s already worthy to have a Hollywood sounding moniker? Somewhere right now Mario Lopez in on the phone with his P.R. person screaming, “I told you I wanted mentions as ‘Mar-Lo’ a long time ago! I’ve been in the business almost 15 years and I still don’t have a cool nickname. Chick pops out 8 kids two weeks ago and she’s ‘Octomom’?”
“Octomom” would have been far better served meeting with Dr. JILL, instead of Dr. Phil. I mean, he didn’t really help Britney, now did he?
Jill: “So, who did your lips? Nanci Pelosi’s guy?” Read the rest of this entry »

My brain hurts from this lack of sleep. Since I’m up most nights listening to Patrick grunt and watching infomercials and pondering ‘where the hell is the free pure-bred puppy & new boat I was promised in this stimulus package?’ Maggie is now the exclusive source of brains in the house. Just ask her! You thought maybe Ken Jennings or Albert Einstein or Leonardo Da Vinci were the smartest humans alive? No, the smartest humans alive are Eleven Year Olds. Yes those fancy fifth graders, specifically girl ones with their own locker, three siblings to lord over and their own cell phone. OOOH AAAH.
