Five People I want to get to know better: (yes this means you are tagged!)

Six random things:
1.  My favorite movie quote is, "If you don't have anything nice to say, come sit by me."
(Steel Magnolias)
2.  I have a tattoo.  American Flag on my lower back.  No, I was not in the military, just a true patriot.
3.  I dislocated my knee during a swim race.  Pushed off the wall on a flip turn and it went right out to the side and stayed out.  For 20 minutes.  Until the hot paramedics pulled me out of the water on a stretcher.
4. I had my gall bladder removed.
5. My husband was an LAPD Detective (I know, the hotness just keeps on coming!)  before leaving to run the business with me.

That's it.  That's some crap about me.  Do you feel any different now that you know?

Well...maybe a little different. That 'picking fights' answer threw me for a little loop. What's that all about?

So, so very much to comment on here. Where to begin?

Since you left, noone will eat sushi with me.
I will be here to answer your call.
You forgot our beach bungalow on your billionaire list.
I share your bad habits except for fighting. Can't we all just get along??
I think I need that Steel Magnolia's quote on a t-shirt to wear every Friday night.
Yes, her husband is really hot.
Don't you love how this comment isn't about you, but all about me?

I'm so sorry for referencing so many "inside" jokes, fellow readers. Love me through it. I'm going to stop now. I need more coffee. And a hug.

That Steel Magnolias quote is my absolute favorite. I think I use it on a daily basis. Even at church. I've been tempted to pretend I was tagged for this one and do it anyway...

I think you could combine a couple of things on that list and perhaps achieve a goal.

If you wore an outfit from Victoria's Secret and flashed your American Flag tatoo you would be very successful running for U.S. Senate without spending a dime.

Can I help with the campaign slogan? My guess is that you could get the Karate guy to say at the end of the television comercial:

This ad has been endorsed by Master Bates.

Shelia, I am usually easygoing, but I have this thing about injustice...I will fight you. It's gotten better since I had Will, but I am not cured. Especially in parking lots.

Heather, the bungalow will be on a different side of the island.

Kat, consider your self tagged. I am adding you to my list now. I'm a rebel like that.

Carrie- this is perfect. Your special genius is showing again.

Blarney- I will be checking your blog hourly, get to it!

I love reading these. It reminds me of those quizes you get in e mail every once in a while. Fun post. My favorite quote is a Brian Andreas one, that before we got it repainted it said above the door in our mudroom. "We don't have much time, so let's just talk about me." I miss it sometimes, maybe that's why I blog....

Time to confess...although you commented on my blog, I was lurking on your's first! Although I'm no "Master Bates" I might be a Master Lurker! You had me hooked after that post. And then I read about your pretty va-jay-jay and teh hot obgyn and was literally rolling on the floor!
Thanks for visiting me! Loved hearing more about you and all your quirky glory! I'll be back for my daily dose of Romero...

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

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

Blogging for Dollars?

My friend, Melissa , recently wrote this post , expressing her frustration with the small circle of bloggers who seem to be getting all the perks. I read it and left a lengthy comment, then realized I had even more to say. So, here it goes. I have been feeling some stress and increasing negativity in bloggyland lately. Unrest among the masses regarding PR, "A List" (whatever that is) Mommy Bloggers, the lack of money in blogging, etc. I've personally considered withdrawing completely and have spoken to a few other bloggers who are also feeling somewhat "disenchanted" with blogging as of late. It seems to have lost its luster. Here is how I see it: You begin blogging for fun. For connections. For camaraderie. You get a few followers and comments. You want more. You begin to see others talking about the free stroller or set of books. You want that too. Then you hear that some are getting to travel, meet with PR firms, speak at conferences. That sounds fun. You won
