To-do list: Publish post, brush teeth, sleep for days.

I'm spent. Physically and emotionally. Just home from business trip #67848, which included a super-fabulous ALL-NIGHTER! Ah yes, the very glamorous world of advertising where sometimes the shoots start at 8pm and end at sun-up. There wasn't even a good craft service table, which is pretty much the only reason to work in production in the first place. We had to make do with some stale, melted and recongealed chocolate minis; a platter of soggy pb&j sandwiches on white; and a crockpot of lukewarm hotdogs floating in smelly old water. Good times. And did I eat all of it? Yes I did.

Let me just add, there's nothing quite as bad as making that walk of shame back to your hotel room in clothes from the night before, when you didn't even get lucky. The bellmen are tossing me wry smiles and knowing nods and I'm like, not even.

So now all I want to do is rebond with the baby and sleep on demand and have everyone around me love me and stroke my hair and tell me I'm pretty and feed me cheesecake. I'm days behind on blogs, let alone Sopranos, so please forgive me if I haven't been the dilligent reader/commenter/supporter I generally try to be.

Okay, now note the not-so-seamless transition about to follow here--I'd be the perfect local news producer, giving the anchors copy like, "...that totals forty-seven new casualties on this, a most brutal day in Iraq. And coming up next, the latest in rhinestone fashions for your pet!"




Please check out Cool Mom Picks. We ("we" meaning 5% me and 95% Kristen, the blogworld's human power station) have worked ridiculously hard at the redesign and it's finally up and running. And not too shabby if I do say so myself. If you haven't yet been there, CMP is a cheeky shopping blog for hip mamas (and a few confident-in-their-sexuality counterparts) with an emphasis on great design, mom-run businesses and causes we believe in. Plus it's got some kick-ass writing from some of the bloggers you already know and love.

Eh, what's one more site on your rss feed, right?

Mom-101 out.
