It was supposed to start with a calm lunch with the Sesame Place characters. Oh, who am I kidding.. Natalie was so excited to see Elmo, Cookie Monster and Zooey she didn\'t eat and refused to let Elmo leave the picnic area. \r\n\r\nPoor Elmo sat with her and drank water with her until she calmed down. (And then a Sesame Place staff member went and got her milk with a straw because she was afraid to leave Elmo and get one herself.) It clearly was a dream come true to be surrounded by the Sesame characters and I think next time she will not be as excited because she will know what to really expect.  \r\n\r\nIt rained a bit towards the end of the day but the Sesame Place parade still went on and as Natalie sat on the sidelines and watched Oscar, Bert, Telly and a character or two that I don\'t even know. I could see she was very happy to be at Sesame Place and was really enjoying the parade, the different activities and even let me take a few photos of her in front of signs throughout Sesame Place.  (I video taped a bit of the Sesame Parade with my Pure Digital Camcorder and I\'ll put it up on the site when I get a chance.)  After the parade, she finally wanted to eat so we went to one of the many restaurants selling Elmo containers of chicken fingers and fries and chocolate milk and she ate a late lunch.\r\n\r\nWhen we were ready to leave, after a quick stop in the gift shop for Sesame Place crayons, lunchbox and an extremely lifesized Grover doll, she met her favorite Sesame character -- Grover.   He was about to go in for a break but we managed to get a photo  with the Canon digital camera and the Sesame photographer took one of her as well which we of course bought so she could have an official photo of her first Sesame Place visit.\r\n\r\nI\'m sitting here thinking about her 3rd birthday... if I can get a weekend off from work, I\'m thinking of taking her to Beaches Turks & Caicos so she can see all her favorite characters again otherwise we may just head back to Sesame Place for another day trip.','Natalie takes Sesame Place',0,'','publish','open','open','','natalie-takes-sesame-place','','','2006-05-21 03:53:47','2006-05-21 07:53:47','',0,'/?p=2',0,'post','',0),(3,2,'2006-05-28 21:04:20','2006-05-29 01:04:20','Because everyone else is giving their two cents about the birth of Angelina and Brad\'s baby, I thought I would take a different route from everyone else when I said my piece. I wouldn\'t \"ooh\" and \"ahhh\" over the fact reports state Shiloh has \"tufts of Angelina\'s hair\" or has a nose resembling Brad\'s.  \r\n\r\nI\'ll instead focus on two things showing up in the papers which are starting to annoy me. (It also happened when Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes had their baby.)\r\n\r\n1. Insensitive comments -\r\nJon Voight\'s (Angelina\'s dad) comment takes the cake.\r\n<em>\"His spokesman told America\'s New York Times newspaper that Voight is excited and \"can\'t wait to hold the baby in his arms and be a grandpa\".\"</em>\r\n\r\nSo Maddox and Zahara aren\'t considered his grandchildren?  And before you say, well... Shiloh is her first \"real\" child... please just move far away from me so I don\'t have to sting you a look of death from my \"runaway bride\" eyes.  Shiloh is Brad and Angelina\'s youngest child.  They have three children -- Maddox, Zahara and Shiloh.\r\n\r\n2. Boston Herald\r\n<em>The \"Mr. & Mrs. Smith\" co-stars holed up in Namibia with their two adopted children, Maddox, 4 and Zaharah, 1, before the birth of Shiloh to avoid being the center of media attention.</em>\r\n\r\nFirst... they couldn\'t have been just staying in Namibia with their two other children? \"Holed up\" is the phrase to use because I guess a luxury resort usually dredges up \"holed up\" thoughts.  Somehow I don\'t think people who stay two months at the Four Seasons on South Doheny are said to be \"holed up\".  \r\n\r\nAnd secondly, why do reporters have to constantly focus on the fact Angelina and Brad\'s first two children are adopted? Most of the articles are mentioning that fact in the articles they are running about the birth of Baby Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt.\r\n\r\nWhy make Maddox and Zahara feel different? As far as I know .. adopted children need to be picked up from soccer practice and want their parents to read them bedtimes stories, too.  Couldn\'t any of the papers just say they were staying at the resort with their other children for the past 2 months while they awaited the arrival of Shiloh?  I can\'t pick an adopted child out of a group of children playing at the playground so why must everyone constantly brand them \"adopted\" instead of just dropping the word and just saying children?\r\n\r\nYou really just have to laugh at society sometimes.

And Mama is Nat\'s name for me.) because recently he\'s been doing mama a big favor and allowing me to use him to demonstrate the Sidekick diaper bag by Parents of Invention which is a kicka$$ invention � come on, I mean, it\'s great to have a diaper bag and a child carrier all in one right?  I am getting off track, if you want to see my Sidekick diaper bag review, just read my review by clicking <strong><a href=\"http://www.savvymommy.com/featured_reviews/sidekick_diaper_bag.html\">here</a>.</strong>\r\n\r\nAnyway I was the first media person and mom product review writer to show the Sidekick on TV and online.  (Once again, another Savvy Mommy exclusive.  lol) \r\n\r\nBut back to Luke.\r\n\r\nIn the past two weeks, quiet Mister Luke was on NBC, CBS and tomorrow will be on The WB helping me demonstrate the Sidekick diaper bag.\r\n\r\nAnd he has always been very quiet on air. The second we go to commercial he starts talking to the anchor. It\'s really funny.  As soon as the segment airs, emails start coming in about him.  They even came in when he was recently in Parents magazine with his sister.  And honestly, they are a little overwhelming so here are my answers to the most common questions for Luke -\r\n\r\n<strong>Was the television segment I saw today Luke\'s first appearance on TV?</strong>\r\nNo, Luke\'s debut television appearance was on FOX the day he turned six months old. He was helping my friend Jess who needed another baby to model one of her \"My Mom is Hotter than Your Mom\" baby tees.  \r\n<strong>\r\nDoes Luke have an agent?</strong>\r\nNo, Luke does not have an agent and we are not looking for one. His sister doesn\'t have one either.  Neither does his mother.\r\n\r\n<strong>Is Luke\'s hair naturally that curly? How do you get Luke\'s hair like that?</strong>\r\nHis hair is naturally like that.  It has never been cut and I don\'t plan to cut it right now.  His hair is full of curls, really small neat ones in the back and a mess of them in the front.\r\n\r\n<strong>What shirt was he wearing?</strong>\r\nOn NBC he wore an \"I will walk when I\'m good and ready\" tee shirt from <a href=\"http://www.honestbaby.com/tshirts2.php?qs1=walk\"> Honest Baby </a>.\r\nOn CBS he wore a light blue <a href=\"http://www.baby-energy.com\"> Baby Energy </a> shirt.

I don\'t even know how to describe this event so you can fully understand it.\r\n\r\n<strong>FOOD:</strong>\r\nOne minute your being handed a plate and are standing on a line to taste nibbles (and not so little portions of food) from dozens of restaurants including Bao Noodles, Super Dogs, Citrus Bar, Better Burger, Dos Caminos and Serendipity 3 and the next minute you are looking for a table to sit amongst Steve Schrippa.  Speaking of the food, beverages and snacks offered... it was endless from cheesecake and vegamite sandwiches (no I\'m not kidding) to burgers, pizza, dumplings and fruit.  I took Natalie around to see what she wanted and besides the Frozen Hot Chocolate and a bite of pizza she wasn\'t interested.  Natalie didn\'t want to miss a minute of the fun.  She did take my quesadilla (from the bite I had, I can see why. Really good.) and enjoyed a little Elmo Surprise ice cream from Max and Mina ice cream which I think was vanilla, strawberry and coconut.  It mostly melted on her Limesicle tee from <strong><a href=\"http://loopytees.com/shop.php?type=t&design=LM&color=ra\">Loopy tees</a></strong>. Ironic, I know.  An IZZE beverage tent was outside so she picked a grapefruit blend and drank it without a straw.  Seriously, today was Natalie\'s day to tell everyone she was a big girl.  She had a snack bag from Kashi but didn\'t understand why I was holding a big pink poof on a stick.. so the cotton candy was trashed after she just wanted to ball it up in her hands.\r\n\r\n<strong>FASHION:</strong>\r\nThe wings.  Everyone was decorating wings (or capes reminiscent of Super Grover\'s cape).  Natalie decorated hers (pink ones with glitter and other pretty additions.) with Nana while I took Lukie to the Forty Weeks Giggle lounge.  The Forty Weeks Giggle lounge was a space I would have never found if Gina of Forty Weeks wasn\'t walking around hanging lil dipper wipes out to moms.  Luke was cranky (yeah, I know that doesn\'t seem right huh) and it was the perfect space to take him.  He was lounging on the changing table and I took off his shoes (which I left there!) so he was a little more comfortable.  It really was a shame that the Forty Weeks Giggle lounge wan\'t placed in a better area because it was really the ideal space to calm down from the fun.\r\n\r\n<strong>FUN:</strong>\r\nStorytelling by Whoopi Goldberg (who left immediately after she was done reading), themed games with Chuck Zito (when I think kid\'s event, I think Chuck Zito don\'t you? Oh let me shush before Charlie\'s Angels come after me.), Carson Kressley and Allison Stewart were playing a game where you roll a ball from the top and try and get it into the right spot (I must have lived a sheltered life... anyone know the name of that game? It\'s not skeet ball. It\'s more like Pliko that Price is Right game... Yes, I watched Price is Right when I was little and at my grandmother\'s house.) Power Rangers walked around and stopped for photos with the kids but Natalie didn\'t know who they were so she kept going.  Face painting and picture painting opportunities were all over. Aida Turturro, Edie Falco, Miss Universe and Elizabeth Hurley were around doing their own thing.  Every few feet you walked you saw a celebrity and a few reality stars were walking around enjoying the day. I\'m not exactly sure what Jason Patric was doing because everytime I saw him he was with his celebrity escort but he was there and he looks 1,000 times better in person.\r\n\r\nAnd when were leaving the each of the kids got an orange Kenneth Cole gift bag full of product and a choice of any toy from the Target toy area. Toys were handed out by Helena Christiansen.  \r\n\r\nIt was a really nice day for kids and a great cause to support.

The plane flew so low you could count the man eating fish in the water.  Flying didn\'t phase me then.\r\n\r\nI do admit, it probably has something to do with not being completely over what I saw with my own eyes on September 11th and my fear that it will happen again but this time I will be on the plane and will be a coward and just there crying as crazy people do terroristic things.  But it probably also has something to do with the fact that all the planes I have been on lately have been having quite a bit of turbulence.  \r\n\r\nI just got home from traveling this week and each time an insane amount of turbulence happens I think I need to talk with someone who flies even more than me -- wait, that\'s not possible -- I need to talk with someone who has no problem flying so they can explain how I can calm down and not immediately have nervous flying symptoms.\r\n\r\nIf anyone knows someone let me know.

And I could care less whether or not she wears an itsy bitsy teeny weeny bikini while 6 months pregnant (She\'s definitely braver than I was when I was pregnant with my second child! More power to her.)\r\n\r\nThis is what I honestly don\'t understand... Why did her publicist book her for the exclusive interview with Matt Lauer so she could defend herself and then not help her with her hair, makeup and wardrobe?  Can someone tell me the reasoning behind that? So many questions -- Why would her publicist let her go on television in a very unflattering maternity top, way too much makeup and a hair style which just confuses me.  And why when she has way too many mood swinging pregnancy hormones?!?\r\n\r\nI have gotten so many emails about that interview and while I wondered why anyone cared about my opinion... oh yeah, that\'s right now I remember... I decided to just post my thoughts instead of writing everyone and responding to the good, the bad, and the oh so ugly.\r\n\r\nHere are my thoughts in a nutshell about the Britney Spears incedents over the past few months and the interview -\r\n\r\nWhen she initially was photographed driving with her son on her lap, I was contacted by a major newspaper to comment and I said I wouldn\'t because as a celebrity having to deal with paparazzi hounding her, I figured she did it because she felt she was in danger and had to get away quickly.  (And I know I personally would do anything to get my children out of harms way if I felt they were in danger.)  Then that reporter let me in on a little secret ... Britney had confessed earlier that day to just driving without putting her son in his rear facing car seat because she was \"country\".  Um ok.  So much for me sticking up for her.  lol\r\n\r\nAnd then there was the high chair incident, and the walking in Manhattan and tripping as she held a glass of water/soda/tea incident.  She is always in the media recently and it seems to always be something negative.  \r\n\r\nThen moms across the country started to come of out of the woodwork to defend Britney\'s parenting skills.. her mothering abilities and bloggers have started to apologize for the mean things they said. \r\n\r\nAnd I sit here admitting that the only parts of last night\'s interview I saw were the clips I was shown while at the studio this morning.  But believe me.. they were enough for me to be sure to not let either of my children attend a playdate hosted by Britney Spears until her life has the turn around she needs (and will eventually get.)','Britney Spears',0,'','publish','closed','open','','britney-spears','','','2006-06-17 22:36:40','2006-06-18 02:36:40','',0,'/?p=20',0,'post','',0),(21,2,'2006-06-14 23:44:52','2006-06-15 03:44:52','I know I\'m not supposed to but for the first time ever I gave money to someone asking for it on the train today. And it\'s making me really uncomfortable. I don\'t regret it. I just can\'t explain why I feel so uneasy about it.\r\n\r\nI was on my way to the office and the woman walked in the subway car with her daughter and said she was stranded from North Carolina and needed help.  She didn\'t ask for money actually.  She asked for food or anything we could spare.   And then she asked in Spanish.\r\n\r\nI saw her daughter. About the same age as Luke and I immediately went into my bag to give her money.  The woman sitting next to me gave the mom a yogurt from her bag and the mom gave it to her daughter and told her she couldn\'t eat it until she got her a spoon. (I actually started looking in my bag like it was Let\'s Make a Deal and I could possibly.. wishful thinking.. have a spoon to give them.)\r\n\r\nI\'m not pregnant. Not sure why that mother and child really got to me but it has.  I think all little girls and boys should feel like the prince and princess they are.  Not have to worry about food or shelter.  I just thought to myself.. what if I was in that situation and needed help, I\'d really want someone to help me. I\'d really want someone to believe me... to believe whatever they gave me really was for food or shelter.\r\n\r\nOf course, I bring that up because everyone I talked to told me their theory of how there is a racket in Manhattan where they go around asking for money (besides the basketball team uniform fundraisers) and they take kids with them that aren\'t their own and get money to use for drugs.   And I was called naive.\r\n\r\nI just prefer to believe this time I really was helping someone in need and not financing some horrible habit.\r\n\r\n(P.S.: Yes, I\'ve given money to street performers and have donated money to charity but I just never gave to anyone asking for it on the subway.

Not only are you opening up the door to quite an earful which you deserve.... chances are you probably aren\'t even that person\'s competition or you have just created an uncomfortable vibe now.\r\n\r\nWhen I started out in this industry I left an incredibly competitive one and while I never expected to be friends with everyone and bake cookies every Wednesday night, I did think there would be some sort of understanding that the Wild Wild West would not be the encouraged way to do business into this industry.  \r\n\r\nBut it is... and every day I hear about publicists not doing a thing for several thousand dollar monthly retainer fees, business owners who take all the free publicity they can get but once they have an placement opportunity they don\'t share it with the person who previously helped them in all of their publicity opps, a band of liars, and a network of very unoriginal theives -- copycats of content and ideas.','High School Graduation',0,'','publish','closed','open','','high-school-graduation','','','2006-06-07 07:34:56','2006-06-07 11:34:56','',0,'/?p=22',0,'post','',0),(23,2,'2006-06-05 08:05:27','2006-06-05 12:05:27','\"Breathe (2 AM)\" by Anna Nalick\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000FZESD0/islandtravela-20\" target=\"_blank\"><img src=\"http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v238/victoria719/th_annanalick.jpg\"align=\"center\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Anna Nalick Breathe (2AM) Wreck of the Day\"></a>\r\n\r\n2 AM and she calls me \'cause I\'m still awake,\r\n\"Can you help me unravel my latest mistake?,\r\nI don\'t love him.

My very healthy grandfather who was happily retired and woke up early every morning to run errands died at the end of March in 2000.  \r\n\r\n<strong>Father\'s Day is not the same without him.  </strong>\r\n\r\nNeither of my children were able to meet him so that\'s why both of them were named after him.  My first child took the feminine version of his middle name and my son\'s middle name is/was my grandfather\'s last name.   \r\n\r\nMy grandfather bought me a pair of pink construction boots when I was little and he showed me how to properly cut tiles for the kitchen.  He was there every year when my elementary school had the annual special day for fathers to spend time with their kids at the school and even explained to me what was happening when he watched his favorite baseball or cricket team on TV.  He shared candy with me in the kitchen when my grandmother wasn\'t looking and when he had the blueprints drawn up for his dream home, he included a room for me in it.\r\n\r\n<strong>Father\'s Day just isn\'t the same.</strong>\r\n\r\nNatalie and Luke spent Father\'s Day 2006 with their dad and hopefully they will have many, many more Father\'s Day celebrations in the park with him.

And I definitely couldn\'t talk about all of them on here.\r\n\r\n<img align=\"left\" alt=\"The Little Mermaid Two Disc Special Edition DVD\" title=\"The Little Mermaid Two Disc Special Edition DVD\" src=\"http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v238/victoria719/th_TheLittleMermaid.jpg\" />\r\n\r\nBut yesterday afternoon I went to a brand presentation where I left with a feeling of nostalgia.  I am so excited to hear that Buena Vista Home Entertainment will be releasing The Little Mermaid Two Disc Special Edition DVD on October 3, 2006.  That\'s right.. The most requested (even more than Cinderella!) animated movie which was in theaters 17 years ago will be the eighth in the Walt Disney \"Platinum Collection\".  Can you believe it was in theaters in 1989?!  Wow.. 1989.\r\n\r\nDisney Consumer Products will be creating Little Mermaid Reflections utilizing the characters from The Little Mermaid and creating Under the Sea themed products (over 1,000 of them) so little children who don\'t really know about The Little Mermaid will be introduced to them and request this DVD as much as their Finding Nemo one.   (Although I did hear that Ariel is the #1 Disney princess with moms of children age 2-5 so maybe they are just going to try and target children a little older as well with the products they are creating.) As we were leaving our goodie bag included a few themed products and also a Disney princess doll because they also briefly touched on Disney DVD Game World at the presentation and their is a princess edition.\r\n\r\nI know what you are thinking.  So what\'s in it for the parents?  A lot. And I say that as a parent who gets the look of death when I admit I hated cartoons when I was younger (the last one I saw in a theater was The Little Mermaid and before that Who Framed Roger Rabbit and I\'m not sure if that really counts.) and very rarely watch even parts of them now with my children.\r\n\r\nThe Little Mermaid Two Disc Special Edition DVD is restored with such a vibrant picture and packed with countless interesting behind the scenes stories including an incredibly moving featurette with Jodi Benson, the woman who is the voice of Ariel and a look at The Little Mermaid amusement park ride that never came to be (four different views of the ride.)\r\n\r\nAlso at the presentation was Ashley Tisdale a Disney Channel star of The Suite Life who was given the job to rerecord and modernize The Little Mermaid song \"Kiss the Girl\".  Met Ashley and watched the video.  Very, very cool.   The video reminds me of a Hilary Duff video (I can\'t remember the name of it) but honestly love the new sound to the song and Ashley said she dressed as Ariel for Halloween one year so I\'m sure it was fun for her to get the chance to record a major song from the movie.\r\n\r\nAnyway, back to The Little Mermaid DVD -- I will happily allow Sebastian, Flounder and of course Ariel into our DVD collection.  And when it comes out you should too.  It will be a well worth $29.99. After all, you know Disney only allows a certain amount of time for sales and then the DVD goes back into the vault.','Christmas in June',0,'','publish','closed','open','','christmas-in-june','','','2007-01-26 20:56:13','2007-01-27 01:56:13','',0,'/?p=38',0,'post','',0),(70,2,'2007-02-01 12:01:02','2007-02-01 17:01:02','<a name=\"OLE_LINK6\"></a><a name=\"OLE_LINK5\"></a><span style=\"font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana\">The month of February has begun which means pretty much everyone is either finalizing long time plans (proposals anyone?) or trying to figure out what they will be doing on Valentine’s Day.  </span><span style=\"font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana\"> </span><span style=\"font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana\">This year, Valentine’s Day falls on a Wednesday.

And I even hear this request from publicists representing $5 items. \r\n\r\nA producer friend of mine has a few choice words when people tell her she has to return product and while I can\'t repeat what she says here; I personally always politely tell them it benefits their client to leave the product sample in my sample closet.  Why?  Because I\'m often called last minute to tape a television segment or do a live segment (Still can\'t believe I was up when I was called at 2AM to do a last minute segment!) \r\n\r\nThe producer sometimes has an idea of what they would like me to show. Other times, they just want me to bring products I have and create a segment with a timely theme. And that is why it is my belief that smart companies finish first.  \r\n\r\nHere are the companies that were included in tomorrow\'s 5 o\'clock CBS News segment here in Manhattan. They all have founders or reps who were smart enough to never ever question that leaving product with me in case an opportunity arose was the right thing to do.  It allowed me to tape the segment this morning without making frantic calls asking for product to be messengered to me if the company was in Manhattan. And if they weren\'t located in Manhattan, they would have totally just missed out.\r\n\r\nMD Moms Baby Silk SPF sunscreen wipes \r\n<a href=\"http://www.mdmoms.com \">http://www.mdmoms.com </a>\r\n\r\nProtect-a-Bub Sun Protective Swim Wear \r\n<a href=\"http://www.protectabub.com \">http://www.protectabub.com </a>\r\n\r\nTilley Kids Top Notch Toppers \r\n<a href=\"http://www.tilley.com \">http://www.tilley.com </a>\r\n\r\nWho\'s Shoes child ID kit \r\n<a href=\"http://www.whosshoesid.com \">http://www.whosshoesid.com </a>\r\n\r\nWander Wear easy to spot t-shirt and 2 1/2\" clip on tag \r\n<a href=\"http://www.wander-wear.com  \">http://www.wander-wear.com  </a>\r\n\r\nParents of Invention Sidekick diaper bag with built in child carrier \r\n<a href=\"http://www.parentsofinvention.com\">www.parentsofinvention.com</a>','Non-Returnable Samples',0,'','publish','closed','open','','why-i-request-non-returnable-samples','','','2006-07-04 21:57:17','2006-07-05 01:57:17','',0,'/?p=39',0,'post','',0),(40,2,'2006-06-28 23:15:15','2006-06-29 03:15:15','Of all days, your birthday is supposed to be a blue sky holiday.

The greeting cake kit which makes a 4\" individual sized cake using a microwave oven even came with confetti (non-edible) and a little pink candle!  It\'s very cute.   So I offered Natalie a few birthday cookies I picked up from a bakery on the way home, she of course took the one with pink sprinkles.  And she asked if she could \"hold Mama\'s flowers.\"  It\'s hard to stay sad or upset around her.\r\n\r\nAfter the kiddos went to bed, a friend called and tried to serenade me with her rendition of Happy Birthday. I told her I was too frightened of her voice to sit through it and begged her not to sing.  It was a joke of course because I\'ve never heard her sing. But now that I think I about it, how cute is it for her to have offered to sing in order to make my day better.\r\n\r\nAfter all that, I still am going to bed with a migraine.

No clue.

Natalie will be back Sunday afternoon in time for the brunch I am making (yes, I cook!) for my mother and grandmother.\r\n\r\nBut until then it\'s just the little voice of Lukie coming from the other end of the apartment.  I went into his room a few minutes ago and there he was standing up, smiling and excited to see I was coming to take him out of his crib.  (He\'s still in a crib because I\'m not a fan of the kids climbing the living room furniture while I\'m sleeping.)\r\n\r\nI picked him up to change his diaper and on the way, he reached out to turn on the bedroom ceiling light (they use a little bug lamp that stays on throughout the night). I stopped and thought about how lucky I am to have a happy and healthy baby.  So very lucky.  Changed his diaper and got him some milk.  Back to bed for Luke.  There\'s no way he was starting his day at 6:30!\r\n\r\nSpeaking of his crib... Luke knows he\'s the only kiddo in the house so he took a bunch of Natalie\'s toys to bed last night.  If only Natalie knew Luke had one of her Grover dolls in his crib.  I\'d never hear the end of it.  Thankfully I never have to worry about Natalie sharing with Luke but Grover is very special.  I\'m lucky I can hold Grover long enough to put him in the wash.\r\n\r\nNat is another healthy and happy child. I really did lucky out. She has ezcema but that\'s the worse of her health problems which obviously isn\'t much of a problem if you were to compare that with what some children in her pediatrician\'s waiting room have to deal with.  <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://photobucket.com/\"><img border=\"0\" alt=\"Natalie wearing GEOX sneakers and Beautiful Futures tee at the bottom of the slide\" src=\"http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v238/victoria719/th_natslide.jpg\" /></a>\r\n\r\nI get a lot of emails asking where Natalie is... why she\'s \"never around\" or \"what do you do with your kids when you travel every week\".   One email said it \"wasn\'t healthy to be apart from your kids so much.\"  I guess it depends on what you think is healthy.\r\n\r\nI never travel for weeks without seeing my children. I have only spent more than 2 nights away from my home twice since Luke and Natalie were born.  When my daughter is away from home it\'s just to her great grandmother\'s house.  Same for Luke. Seems pretty healthy to me.  Neither of my children have a babysitter or nanny.  This summer Natalie went away after she turned 3 to spend time outside of New York.  Sounded good to me.

But Jess, Tracey and half of LA who knew I was coming into town also called.   I feel special again.... And then I look at the room service table still in my room because I devoured one side of the entire in room dining menu during the night in my moment of depression where I felt no one loved me enough to have an omlette with me.\r\n\r\nI am loved. But now I have a stomach the size of Kansas because I ate like a piglet and didn\'t care that I brought a 10 year old (pre-children) dress which wasn\'t forgiving to wear to the party.

So I postponed my new bed search in fear of accidentally bringing bedbugs into the apartment.\r\n\r\nSeems like bed bugs have become the new rat of Manhattan.  And they are just all over the place.  Yuck.  News reports have people throwing out their furniture, management companies refusing to help them so they move out their apartment, and even a woman who left the state because of them!  Double Yuck.\r\n\r\nNow even SNL mama Maya Rudolph has been bothered by bedbugs.  Her $13,500 a month SoHo apartment where she lived with her husband and daughter is infested with them.  Makes me wonder what the odds of someone living in a $3,000 a month apartment in Manhattan are for not getting bedbugs.\r\n\r\nIt\'s even gotten to be a running joke on Craigslist where posters write open letters to their bed bug roommates.  But seriously doesn\'t it just seem to be too much to have to go through such lengths that you are throwing out your furniture. You finally find a couch you like and now you have to toss it?\r\n\r\nI just can\'t sleep on this bed anymore.  I\'ve had it forever.  It\'s time for a change already. Hopefully in a few weeks when I get a chance to go shopping, it\'ll be a change for the better.\r\n<a href=\"http://www.usatoday.com/life/people/2006-11-02-maya-rudolph_x.htm\">\r\nMaya Rudolph - BedBugs Story</a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.craigslist.org/about/best/chi/196226851.html\">Craigslist Bedbug Open Letter</a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.hsph.harvard.edu/bedbugs/\">Harvard\'s Take on Bedbugs: More than you ever wanted to know</a>','I need a new bed.

Reading their signs, pointing out their silly outfits, screaming words of encouragement to runners who look like they are about to pass out and die.\r\n\r\nI know a whole two people who will be running today. One does marathons like she\'s just running out to the corner store for milk... no sweat.  The other has been running for a while so both of them will do absolutely fabulously.  Next year, I\'ll probably finish nine hours after they do. Oh well.  lol\r\n\r\nSo exciting to see everyone running and the crowd coming out to cheer them on. That\'s why I go ever year.

(Yeah, not her dad who is from Great Neck, me... the chicky who has gone to Catholic school - although I\'m not Catholic - all my life)\r\n\r\nSo in a last minute, unexpected history lesson, I tried my best to explain to Natalie about Hanukah.\r\n\r\nI told her that there was enough oil to make light for eight days instead of the one that was expected so there was enough oil to last until new oil arrived, told her that Jewish little kids light one light (or candle) each night for eight nights to remember that miracle and instead of candy canes and one night of presents like mommy received it\'s a tradition now for little kids to get gelt and one small gift each night for eight nights. (Of course she remembers the chocolate gelt because she got some last year from a relative.)  I told her that everyone who celebrates Hanukah gets to eat latkes and fried donuts which I think confused her because she eats latkes and fried donuts.\r\n\r\nSo then I tried to mention something about why the dreidel is significant to the miracle that happened with the oil. No joke. I was totally not prepared and I wish I was. But I think I did an OK job.\r\n\r\nLukie was invited to a Hanukah party this year.  I asked his dad to take him.  Yeah, well now we know why I said \"invited\" and not \"attended\".  Argh.  Next year, I\'m just going to have to take the kids to all of the holiday parties they are invited to.\r\n\r\nBut for now, here\'s to praying Miss Natalie doesn\'t overhear the word \"Kwanzaa\" and ask me what it is.

Today she will join over 300,000 people who visit Santaland each year to tell Santa their holiday wishes.\r\n\r\nAnd this time she\'s going with Lukie and will hopefully tell Santa she wants a present that has already been bought for her.

But we all know that most New Year\'s Resolutions are just so out there and such a shock to our systems that we give them up within a few weeks of trying to be this new person.\r\n\r\nSo this year, I write my list of 2007 New Year\'s resolutions with two promises - I won\'t be hard on myself if I don\'t accomplish everything I write down today.

As I have been for the past few days.  Their dad is so sick that my Christmas will be very original this year. A Christmas like no other.\r\n\r\nWhile they open their Christmas gifts under my mother\'s Christmas tree and eat holiday dinner in between playing with their new toys; I\'ll be sitting in a hospital room, from the beginning of visiting hours until they kick me out, hoping their dad gets better because selfishly I don\'t want to have to figure out a way to tell a three and a half year old her father died.  And I don\'t want to have to try and find a way to make a 20 month old remember his father from what little memories he could possibly have at 20 months old.\r\n\r\nIt\'s easy to look for someone to blame. But in this case he\'s the only one to blame. I just can\'t say it to him.  I get to the hospital and he\'s on oxygen and having treatments. Doctors poke him in arteries (not veins) and his numbers are still low. The outlook isn\'t good and I can\'t tell him that it\'s his fault because unless he still hasn\'t woken up and joined reality he knows and he doesn\'t need anyone to tell him.  It just upsets me so much that he didn\'t listen to me. I didn\'t get through to him.  So now my Christmas isn\'t how I expected it to be. I won\'t be there to see Natalie and Lukie\'s faces when they open their Christmas gifts.\r\n\r\nI am just so angry at him for not caring about his health.  For causing this to happen.\r\nI\'m sad. And I\'m being selfish this holiday season instead of holly jolly.

So because the only other big deal for me in February is Valentine\'s Day I decided to get a jump on buying the gift for my big Valentine -- the little ones being my kids. Since he never reads my blog (trust me, it\'s easier to write when you don\'t have to worry about complaints) I can say what I got him without worrying about spoiling the surprise.\r\n\r\nA cooking class with <a href=\"http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1400080908/islandtravela-20\">Ted Allen</a>.  I know. One might think I was insulting him by handing him a gift like that (\"Your cooking sucks, go learn from a pro.\") but believe me he will love it.  He\'s in the kitchen right now cooking \"a simple steak\".  Not sure what that really is considering I thought all steak was simple but hey... I don\'t have to cook dinner and he enjoys being in the kitchen so I know he will love the class.  I was going to say he would be \"tickled pink\" about the class but the only thing PINK about the class will be the shirt I also got him for Valentine\'s Day from Thomas Pink.   The store has a slim fit shirt that is an absolute must in every guy\'s closet and I haven\'t gotten him one in a while so he\'s long overdue.   He can wear it to the class, roll up the sleeves and start learning from <a href=\"http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1400080908/islandtravela-20\">Ted Allen</a>.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1400080908/islandtravela-20\">Ted Allen</a> (for those who are reading this and saying... \"And what\'s the big deal\") is the food guy on Queer Eye for the Straight Guy. He doesn\'t make complicated dishes. He realizes not everyone is going to be able to pull off some of recipes in most cookbooks so he has a straightforward approach to cooking which if you have ever used his cookbook you know results in simply tasty meals.\r\n\r\nA friend of mine told me today about some really fun Valentine\'s Day cards the company she works for sells at Duane Reade (it\'s like a CVS or Walgreens for non-Manhattan residents) so the next time I\'m there (shouldn\'t be hard since my office is above the original Duane Reade), I have to pick up a fun card for him.  And then I\'m officially I\'m all set.\r\n\r\nThe only thing that worries me about this Valentine\'s Day gift is that this cooking class happens a few days before Valentine\'s Day and I could possibly be booked last minute out of town for another Valentine\'s Day segment which would mean I couldn\'t go with him (and yes, he would want me to be there.)  But I\'ll just worry about that if it comes up.

Before this one, from whom did you get your last e-mail from? Megan Ferrington of American Greetings … she’s telling everyone about their cool Anti Valentine’s Day cards.  (And yes, my grandmother\'s birthday card as well as her card from my mom and kiddos to her were all from <a title=\"American Greetings\" href=\"http://www.americangreetings.com\" target=\"_blank\">American Greetings</a>.. bought them all at the original Duane Reade in Manhattan.)\r\n21.

It was a fluke that the photo came out nice and decent enough to put up on the site.  The rest of the photos on the website of me by myself or with the children are clearly taken by someone other than a professional photographer.  And I\'ve chosen to not stress about it because photos are just not my thing.\r\n\r\nSo here I am alone (kids are in the other part of the studio playing with cars with Nana), leaning on a couch about to take my headshot and all I could think of was my huge forehead and the fact that I do have \"runaway bride\" eyes when I take photos.  Lovely, huh.  So who knows how that photo will turn out.  I honestly think I\'ll end up forever giving anyone who requests it a photo of me with my children.

And why are you reading my blog. Aren’t you busy enough during the day? If not, Natalie can come over and keep you on your toes today.)\r\n\r\n<em>What would possess you to wear that ugly slime green shirt on tv?</em>  (It was a Halloween segment. Get over it. I wasn’t talking about macroeconomics or interviewing the president.)\r\n\r\n<em>Why don’t you post to your blog everyday?</em> (Because you would be subjected to hearing about me rolling out of bed, eating Basic 4, drinking water with True Lemon, tossing clothing on my bed to find … I think you get the idea. Not much happens of interest everyday.)\r\n\r\n<em>That product you showed today is sold out on their website! I wanted one!</em> (Yeah, sorry about that. That sometimes happens with products I show. Some websites do not have a huge inventory of the products I feature in my television segments and have a waiting period because of the amount of viewers who rush to buy the products.  Next time, remember, the early bird gets the worm so chop chop!!)\r\n\r\n<em>Next time wear a shirt that doesn’t show your breasts.</em> (Um.. whoa there. Definitely confusing me with someone else.  Glad to see you had a huge amount of time to email me advice about my wardrobe choices but I can assure you no one would have let me on air if what I was wearing was about to make the segment end up on You Tube.  I’m a mom. I have responsibilities and morals.  Not planning on embarrassing myself or my children.  And if something happened accidentally, I would have been known.)\r\n\r\n<em>Why don’t you wear your hair differently? Is it because it’s a weave?</em> (My hair isn’t a weave. I’ve worn it with a part in the middle since high school. I’m boring.  It grows.  I occasionally cut it.  Sometimes the hair stylist yells at me and tells me I have split ends and then makes me trim it.)','Leave Your Complaints in the Comment Box',0,'','publish','closed','open','','leave-your-complaints-in-the-comment-box','','','2007-03-01 17:50:28','2007-03-01 22:50:28','',0,'http://www.savvymommy.com/blog/2007/02/28/leave-your-complaints-in-the-comment-box/',0,'post','',0),(79,2,'2007-03-02 07:08:18','2007-03-02 12:08:18','Denis Leary woke me up this morning not the downpour of rain on my window.  It was his gosh darned trailer and crew for his FX channel drama and dark comedy, Rescue Me.

I hesitated for so long because I was rightly concerned about the eyes – both business and personal -- who would be reading it.\r\n\r\nIt was clearer than a day at my favorite beach in Antigua I wouldn’t be able to talk about most of the things happening in my day – all the scandalous behind the scenes tales about contracts, celebrities and vanishing cellulite mixed in with the mundane waits for producers or agents to respond to an email with a green light or a frustrating red light – because I would never get booked again.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.savvymommy.com\" target=\"_blank\"><img alt=\"This Blog Has Eyes.\" src=\"http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v238/victoria719/th_%2057_4504.jpg\" align=\"right\" border=\"0\" /></a>It was air apparent I would have to extremely limit what I said about friends or family if I wanted to continue to have any.  My mother was at the top of that list being a woman who greatly appreciated her privacy.  Lord knows, the ban of me doing anything wrong while she was a judge was just finally lifted after being in effect since the day she was appointed decades ago.\r\n\r\nSo I decided it would be wise to be mum about everything from sitting in the waiting room at her mammogram appointments to talks about remodeling her kitchen or the miraculous feat of cooking an entire Thanksgiving feast without having an aneurism.  As I found out, it was a good idea because it seems that even her friends’ eyes are on my mild blog. (Hi! Please invite me to your next dinner. They always sound so lovely.)\r\n\r\nIt wasn’t really hard for me to decide to not blog about Luke and Natalie’s papa con queso because I knew that while he didn’t care enough to read what I wrote, his nosy “friendsâ€ and even nosier family -- Yes, I said it. And they are lucky that’s the word I used -- would feel it their duty to alert him to my opinions.  I didn’t really want to invite any headaches or comments responding to what would have been daily monologues about my love for how they’ve treated me and my kiddos.  \r\n\r\nWhy would I divulge things like that?  Sometimes even the most confident person wants reassurance from someone else (even people you don’t know because it seems unbiased) that “Yep, that girl was definitely off her medication when she said that to you.â€  And nothing beats receiving an email from a reader alerting you to something you once mentioned as being important. Or getting a quick note from a singer you loved in the 90s who was name checked.\r\n\r\nIt pains me to be sitting on these anecdotes which would make for quite the Bravo reality series.  I could get off the phone and exclaim “Is she kidding me?â€ or “Why is her boyfriend such a jerkâ€.  People … I have quality reality TV content here I can’t share.  But as I was reminded last week, brands appreciate it more when I stick to being Savvy Mommy sans personal blog posts.  (This should shine a little light for those wondering why the blog name changed. Another pair of eyes, huh.)\r\n\r\nSo welcome (back) everyone.  I promise only a small dose of $10 words – just enough so my mother’s friends know I still am intelligent – and occasionally more than a semi candid glimpse into <em>mi vida loca</em>. \r\n\r\nI enjoy reading your emailed love notes and misspelled letters of hate sent because I disagree with your views. Keep them coming – unless it’s a disturbing account of how much you’d like to see me without a bathrobe. Keep that to yourself; buddy, unless you want to make it into my folder for “specialâ€ emails.','This Blog Has Eyes',0,'','publish','closed','open','','this-blog-has-eyes','','','2007-04-11 08:25:49','2007-04-11 13:25:49','',0,'http://www.savvymommy.com/blog/2007/04/11/this-blog-has-eyes/',0,'post','',0),(85,2,'2007-04-12 13:03:55','2007-04-12 18:03:55','I must declare, the one good thing about the recent office move (the <a title=\"mailing address\" href=\"http://www.savvymommy.com/communicate/submit_a_product_for_review.html\" target=\"_blank\">mailing address</a> on the website is the correct one to send products for review) is the fact that there’s now a test kitchen – you know so we can see if that <a href=\"http://craftycookingkits.com/\">Crayola Crafty Cooking Kit</a> or oatmeal raisin cookie mix from <a href=\"http://www.kidscentralkitchen.com/ProductInfo.aspx?productid=KCK1000\">Kids Central Kitchen</a> is up to my daughter’s standards before reviewing them on the <a href=\"http://www.savvymommy.com/\">site</a> or including them in a kids in the kitchen television segment -- and even better, a test bathroom where I can check all the hyped safety gear for the bathtub or the cleaning products I am sent which claim to eliminate the need for a scrub brush in the shower.  \r\n\r\n<span />So exciting!\r\n\r\n<span />No more taking things home from the office in order to test it in my tub and then return it to the office so all the samples for one segment were in the same place when it was time to pack for the segment. \r\n\r\n<span />Woohoo, talk about hassle free living.\r\n\r\n<span />Now if only the weather would stop testing my nerves and just start being spring already.','Testing … Testing … ',0,'','publish','closed','open','','testing-%e2%80%a6-testing-%e2%80%a6','','','2007-05-11 19:49:11','2007-05-12 00:49:11','',0,'http://www.savvymommy.com/blog/2007/04/12/testing-%e2%80%a6-testing-%e2%80%a6/',0,'post','',0),(86,2,'2007-04-17 09:45:17','2007-04-17 14:45:17','The next time someone wants to write a story about motherhood, they should write about the absolutely unnecessary competition found between mothers.  It is insane. And unfortunately it doesn’t look like it will be stopping anytime soon.\r\n\r\nThe Mommy Wars (or whatever phrase it\'s been packaged as this month) do nothing but separate women all needing a support group of some sort for this new phase of their life.  Whether its friends, family, co-workers or an online message board, I find it hard to believe a mom could go the first year of motherhood without asking for advice.  And if those moms are out there, hats off to you because I find motherhood to be the hardest job I\'ve ever had.\r\n\r\nI sit here in between phone calls and emails, happy to have healthy children and be a part of this group of strong women called mothers. It\'s never been a thought of mine to consider the well thought out choices I’ve made for my family to be fodder for someone looking to judge me.  But they are – which is incredibly unfortunate.\r\n\r\nThere are so many things going on which make it into the \"Breaking News\" that one would think we would all just be happy our families were safe and sound.  But it doesn’t work that way.  Maybe these judgmental moms don’t have their TVs on and are suffering from a case of boredom because they also do not subscribe to their local newspaper.\r\n\r\nBecause if they did, they would realizing having an epidural does not make you less of a mother.  We all have to wake up in the middle of the night and change diapers; make sure the water temperature is just right before the babies take their bath and stress at one time or another about dinners for our picky eaters.  And if they read what\'s happening in their community besides the Arts & Living section, they would probably realize they shouldn’t unfairly judge someone you’ve at the playground on Saturday because you found out she works outside the home during the week.\r\n\r\nMy life isn\'t easy.  I don\'t believe anyone has an easy life.  Whether you are struggling to keep your sanity at home because you have a laundry list of things to do before your children get home from school or you find yourself in the middle of the divorce right after having a baby, we all have things happening in our lives and it\'s just incredibly unfair to judge instead of support one another.\r\n\r\nI\'m guilty of being naive enough to think I could make a personal decision about my body and my children without being shunned.  I don\'t need anyone to feel sorry for me or my children because I made a choice about breastfeeding or diapering my children in something other than cloth diapers.  What I need is to finally hear moms are going to come together and support each other so cases of post partum depression decline significantly.   I need to hear moms are being treated the same whether they stay at home or they have a career which requires them to leave the house every day.','War - What is it Good For?

Everywhere we turn that phrase is being used by companies who either just recently introduced a green initiative or have been committed to helping Mother Earth for several years – or sometimes even decades.\r\n\r\nToday, one of my favorite eco-friendly companies – Nalgene – is being featured on the Oprah Winfrey show in her Going Green 101 segment.  While I’m glad to hear Oprah gave the green light to this segment right before Earth Day so her viewers could make small changes in their lifestyle and help the environment; I’m especially happy to hear Nalgene will be included in the segment.\r\n\r\nSeveral years ago, I was first introduced to the Nalgene water bottle by my uncle.  He walks everywhere in Manhattan and always carried a Nalgene bottle instead of a different bottled water every day.  And now it’s a rare day when you don’t see me carrying my pink <a href=\"http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000KI129K/islandtravela-20\">N-Gen Nalgene water bottle</a>.  So it wasn’t surprising last month when I did a Going Green segment for WCBS TV and included the latest addition to the Nalgene water bottle line in the segment – their <a href=\"http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000MWCINI/islandtravela-20\">Grip n Gulp cup</a> (pretty much a bottle toddlers can’t destroy) which my son doesn’t go anywhere without.\r\n\r\nI like that by making just a small lifestyle change in our household in choosing to use Nalgene bottles whenever possible we are doing our part to decrease the number of disposable plastic water bottles we use.   It’s a great way to help the environment without jumping fully into a new lifestyle we aren’t completely capable of keeping up.  After all, enough oil is used in the production of disposable water bottles annually to fuel 100,000 cars for a full year. \r\n\r\nNalgene’s commitment to curbing America’s dependence on bottled water with their taste- and odor-resistant, leak proof plastic containers is expanding even further with their latest campaign to reduce disposable bottle waste called “Refill, Not Landfillâ€.  Nalgene research shows one person uses 166 bottles each year.  (In my opinion New Yorkers are probably responsible for a much larger number.) To decrease that number, consumers can take an online pledge at the <a href=\"http://www.refillnotlandfill.org/\">Refill Not Landfill website</a> to reduce their bottled water consumption by drinking from a reusable container for one week, one month or one year. \r\n\r\n<font size=\"2\">If you support would like to support this campaign and purchase a limited edition Refill Not Landfill Nalgene bottle, all proceeds will go to <a href=\"http://www.nativeenergy.com/\"><strong>Native Energy</strong></a></font><font color=\"#006699\"> </font>supporting their mission to help build Native American, farmer-owned, community based renewable energy projects that create social, economic, and environmental benefits.\r\n\r\nMORE INFO:\r\nBuy a <a href=\"http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000CDHADA/islandtravela-20\">Nalgene Bottle</a> for you or a <a href=\"http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000MWCINI/islandtravela-20\">Grip n Gulp cup </a>for your toddler.\r\n<a href=\"http://www.nalgene-outdoor.com/\">Visit the Nalgene Outdoor website </a> \r\n<a href=\"http://www.refillnotlandfill.org/\">Refill, Not Landfill campaign website</a>\r\n<a href=\"http://www.nalgene-outdoor.com/store/detail.aspx?ID=1174\">Buy a Refill, Not Landfill limited edition bottle   </a> \r\n<a href=\"http://www.nativeenergy.com/\">Learn more about Native Energy</a>\r\n\r\n* Don’t forget, this Sunday, April 22<sup>nd</sup> is Earth Day.  Take your children to participate in the free festivities in your neighborhood.

My not so secret confession will not come as much of a surprise to anyone who has known me for a mere hour. While I’ve always been what many would consider to be fit, I was never on the track team in high school or college. In fact, the only running I’ve done besides the running I currently do after my toddlers; is the timed physical education requirement I completed in high school gym class.\r\n\r\nThis well thought out decision to participate in this year’s marathon was the result of me making more than one New Year’s Resolution this year.  <em>Have a healthy baby without finding out its sex</em> topped the list.  Participating in this race may have been listed as number seven but it definitely was not an afterthought. I certainly don’t think of it as one.\r\n\r\nAs intimidating as the marathon sounds because it is considered to be the <span lang=\"EN\">preeminent long-distance annual running event in the United States</span> according to some people, I heard from some professional runners that any first time runner who wanted to run it and trained for it could do just that.  They didn’t mention the word “easilyâ€ or the phrase “without a lot of sweat and tearsâ€ so I realize that once training begins, my body will be in for a real “treatâ€.  One with delightful ice and heat pads, probably.\r\n\r\nThe biggest thing that has this New Year’s Resolution making me feel uncomfortable is the fact that Lance Armstrong, a seven time consecutive winner of Tour de France ran the marathon last year and stated he wasn’t sure he would ever attempt it again because “<span lang=\"EN\">the race was extremely difficultâ€. </span>Yikes!  I should probably also remind everyone that while Lance Armstrong ran the marathon in less than 3 hours, I am not trying to attempt it in less than 12 hours.  Um… ok, I’ll be serious for a moment.  I will honestly just be happy to cross the finish line in November in whatever is considered to be a reasonable time for a first time marathon participant.\r\n\r\nAll of those factors I’ve been told and the surprised looks I’ve been receiving from my family and friends are not going to deter me from running the marathon. I have made a pledge to raise $2,500 for Team for Kids and friends and family have already begun sending in tax deductible donations to the charity using my last name and entrant’s number to make sure I also meet my fundraising goal. (<em>Thanks, guys!)</em>\r\n\r\nRight now, it’s the beginning of May and there is exactly six months to go before the marathon. Thankfully, my training won’t start until next month though. I have a birthday coming up and I have always been known for being realistic with my goals. Sticking to my training wouldn’t allow for me to celebrate this birthday properly. And nothing spoils a goal more than setting impractical expectations.\r\n\r\nAnd not to mention, a few days ago, I gave birth to my third child.  I have a little resting to do. *smile*\r\n\r\nBut with all of this excitement around me, I still don’t doubt I will cross that finish line in November.

And luckily no comparisons between Luke and Kate Hudson’s son were ever made.\r\n\r\nThen again at 18 months.  <em>Snip, snip, snip</em> went the scissors some more.\r\n\r\nAt 22 months, he let me cut one side and a part of the top of his head of hair but then got very annoyed.\r\n\r\nMy mother suggested we take him for his professional haircut on his second birthday so they could even everything out.\r\n\r\nSo today, at one day before his second birthday, Luke sat in a red toy Jeep hair cutting stool, didn’t complain as the cape was placed around him and sat for his first professional hair cut while he watched the Elmo DVD the barber plugged in.\r\n\r\nHis talked about curls were cut off as he sat.   And I nervously watched as the hair stylist\'s scissors snipped lower and lower in length.\r\n\r\nAt one point she asked if I wanted the buzz cutter to be used.  <em>Oh no</em>, I quickly responded.\r\n\r\nShortly after that, the scissors had done their job and Luke was dipping his hand into a pail of lollipops.\r\n\r\nWe left the children’s hair salon $40 lighter but armed with a celebratory balloon and certificate of his first hair cut to proudly display.\r\n\r\nAnd of course a photo to remember the day he graduated from haircuts by mommy …','Floyd the Barber',0,'','publish','closed','open','','floyd-the-barber','','','2007-04-26 19:48:12','2007-04-27 00:48:12','',0,'http://www.savvymommy.com/blog/2007/04/24/floyd-the-barber/',0,'post','',0),(93,2,'2007-05-01 17:10:48','2007-05-01 22:10:48','Three is the new two.  Big families are once again “inâ€.\r\n\r\nSo says half the major metropolitan daily papers but when you live in New York and more specifically Manhattan the spotlight is on you just a bit more when a new “trendâ€ is announced.\r\n\r\nManhattan residents confirm trends.  Manhattan (the borough itself) is also home to many extremes so it isn’t always the best place to look for confirmation since everything exists here (parents who only want one child, parents who swear that two is better than one, etc.)\r\n\r\nSince I happened to walk right into this latest trend and people are always in shock over the general idea of raising children in Manhattan (no matter how many), I’ve been asked quite a few questions.\r\n                               \r\nEvery time my ever expanding stomach was spotted by a curious stranger, a multitude of <s>prying </s>concerned questions ensued.  One belly bump plus seeing me hold the hand of my preschool daughter or my toddler son almost always equaled rapid fire questions about my living and moving plans -- except I hadn’t made any announcements to anyone about moving. And then instantly I became the spokesperson for families with more than two children.\r\n\r\nTheir Q&A doesn’t bother me, it just makes me wonder how I can get some of that free time they all seem to have -\r\n\r\n<strong><em>What are you going to do now you are going to have three children? </em></strong><strong>\r\n</strong><em><span /></em><em>My response:</em> What do you mean?\r\n[Ignoring the fact I knew full well that person was trying to make it seem like having three children would cause me to be found at the top of the Empire State Building during rush hour about to jump.]\r\n\r\nWhat I should have said: <em>The same thing I would do as a mom of two children.  Feed them, bathe them, read stories to them, try to get them to eat their dinner, help them pick out bedtime books and pajamas and tickle them unexpectedly when they are quietly watching television.</em>\r\n\r\n<strong><em>No, but I mean where will you live? Are you going to move to Jersey?\r\n</em></strong><em><span /></em><em>My response: </em>Oh, my apartment has enough space. I don’t plan on moving into a new one or moving to another state…. New Jersey or Florida.\r\n\r\nWhat I should have said:  <em>You mean I can’t live with my three children in a 250 square foot studio apartment in Alphabet City? It worked for the Old Lady who lived in a shoe.  And since when has Jersey become the answer to everything? Have a child, move to Jersey.  Lose your job, Jersey is hiring.  Poor Jersey has become the first choice for the “unacceptableâ€ Manhattan residents huh.</em>\r\n\r\n<strong><em>It must be nice to be a millionaire, that’s the only way you can raise kids in Manhattan.\r\n</em></strong><span /><em>My response:</em> It’s probably nice to be a millionaire in Milwaukee too. Seriously though, you don’t need to be a millionaire in order to comfortably raise one or more happy children in Manhattan.\r\n\r\nWhat I should have said:  <em>Raising kids in any of the boroughs isn’t exactly inexpensive.  Same goes for the ‘burbs. Have you seen the real estate section lately?  There are some parts of the Bronx with $7 million homes, you know.</em>\r\n\r\n<strong><em>But your children don’t have a backyard or a park to play in!\r\n</em></strong><span /><em>My response: </em>We have a small backyard.  And live less than a minute from one of the largest parks in Manhattan.\r\n\r\nWhat I should have said: <em>But they do. They have both. And they also have libraries too, you know, in case things besides play time matter.</em>\r\n\r\n<strong><em>Are you going to go back to work? </em></strong><strong>\r\n</strong><em><span /></em><em>My response:</em>  Of course I am. I’m not even taking a maternity leave.\r\n\r\nWhat I should have said: <em>Would you ask their father if he was planning on going back to work?</em>\r\n\r\n<strong><em>Three in diapers!? You are going to have three in diapers. I can’t imagine having three in diapers!</em></strong><strong>\r\n</strong><em><span /></em><em>My response:</em> No, just two for right now. My daughter is potty trained and my son will be potty trained soon. So in a little while it will only be one.\r\n\r\nWhat I should have said: <em>So don’t have three children who happen to need diapers at the same time. Why do you worry about these things when you aren’t the one changing the poop.  Don’t be concerned for me. Some women are expecting twins and triplets.  They are the ones with real diaper duty.</em>\r\n\r\n<strong><em>How are you going to pay for college?\r\n</em></strong><span /><em>My response: </em>Loans, grants, savings.  Same thing I did unless they get a scholarship or financial aid that covers it all.\r\n\r\nWhat I should have said: <em>How quickly you forget.</em> <em>Remember, I’m a millionaire. They have money for college and for the year off before freshman year in order to backpack in Switzerland waiting for them.</em>\r\n\r\n<strong><em>You aren’t going to be able to give them enough attention.  One of them will suffer.\r\n</em></strong><span /><em>My response:</em> My mother had 6 siblings.  They all had attention. No one suffered.  And they all managed to become law abiding citizens.\r\n\r\nWhat I should have said: <em>S#!T.

Sometimes they are not just minute details that can be overlooked without consequence.\r\n\r\nSo today as the city workers cleared up the snow from last night, I didn’t exchange a gift of bronze … I exchanged emails with my sister, website designer, an acquaintance and my mother – about spring cleaning, work and other dull things.

I really don’t know.  But if she hasn’t murdered anyone a la OJ Simpson and she doesn’t have anyone hidden in her Santa Barbara home’s basement a la Desperate Housewives, she can probably get over whatever the newspapers choose to excerpt from the book (currently titled “Things Unspokenâ€) once it’s released.\r\n\r\nOprah should be happy her dad is coming out with this tell all book (By the way, who is the crazy publishing house willing to risk Oprah never encouraging her viewers to buy books they publish?!) because now she will never have to offer money to him again - she can tell him he should have gotten a bigger advance.  LOL  He officially looks like all those other parents of celebrities looking to make money off their kids hard work.  Love it.\r\n\r\nRead more:  <a title=\"New York Daily News - Oprah\'s Dad Tells All\" href=\"http://www.nydailynews.com/gossip/2007/05/22/2007-05-22_dads_book_is_no_oprah_pick.html\">New York Daily News</a>','Oprah Should Be Happy About Dad’s Tell All ',0,'','publish','closed','open','','oprah-should-be-happy-about-dad%e2%80%99s-tell-all','','\nhttp://www.savvymommy.com/blog/no-minivan-just-moxie/100-things-about-me/','2007-05-22 11:06:39','2007-05-22 16:06:39','',0,'http://www.savvymommy.com/blog/2007/05/22/oprah-should-be-happy-about-dad%e2%80%99s-tell-all/',0,'post','',0),(100,2,'2007-05-24 17:45:00','2007-05-24 22:45:00','What else can I say?\r\n\r\nBesides it’s about time! \r\n\r\nKROCK is back.   WXRK has stopped being WFNY - 92.3 FREE FM.

(Hey, big spender!) I took it from him and never called him. It’s a good thing, what I didn’t know then was that he was dating someone I would years later work with and find to be super sweet. Quality guys I meet. I know.  \r\n\r\nOn another occasion, one of the DJs let me read a poem I wrote about Dave Navarro on air. A friend of mine called in and said she knew me and he connected us both on air.  It was cute. Too silly girls, one with a silly school girl crush on a guy who didn’t even know she existed … until years later … embarrassing ourselves for the entire tri-state area. Ahhh, those were the days.\r\n\r\nAnd then the last time I can recall without fully embarrassing myself; I asked another DJ who worked there to play a song not on the play list.  I guess I was super sweet – I swear, some people find me to be sweet -- because he did something he was definitely not supposed to do. He played it. And then he lost his job.  Ooops.\r\n\r\nWelcome back.  I’ve grown up. I promise not to make any trouble.

I nearly fell over when she said it — especially given what she told me back <a href=\"http://community.tvguide.com/blog-entry/TVGuide-Editors-Blog/Ausiello-Report/Scoop-Gilmore-Girls/700014425\" target=\"_blank\">in December</a>. (BTW, lest you think Amy was pulling my leg, her partner in life and in showbiz, Dan Palladino, confirmed that a GG reunion pic is something they\'re interested in pursuing.) </em>\r\n\r\n<em>And I wasn\'t the only one floored by this development. \"She said what?\" gasped Scott Patterson after I relayed the information to him over the phone. \"I didn\'t think she would be interested in doing something like that. But if she says she is, I would seriously consider it.\" </em>\r\n\r\n<em>Alexis Bledel was equally stunned. \"A Gilmore Girls reunion?\" she said with a laugh. \"That\'s certainly not something I had thought of doing. That\'s really funny, I have no idea how I would feel in a few years. I don\'t know, I\'m sure the script Amy would write would be great, but I guess I\'d have to read it and see how I felt at the time.\" </em>\r\n\r\n<em>Last but not least, Lauren Graham e-mailed me late last night to say, \"Could be a fun idea if everyone wanted to do it. I would do it just to get the four final words out of Amy. They torture me.\" </em>\r\n\r\n<em>Stand by for a comment from Warner Bros. big cheese Peter Roth.</em></blockquote>\r\nLet’s just hope <em>Heroes</em> is on hiatus at the time they film the <em>Gilmore Girls</em> movie and Milo and Alexis are on speaking terms so Milo can guest appear.. run through the set as Jess, profess his love for Rory and then leave again.  Can’t have a major moment in <em>Gilmore Girls</em> history without Jess included (and of course, doing something that has everyone left shaking their heads.)\r\n\r\nNow, I just have to work for the next year or so on convincing Amy I should play a minor role in the movie… a memorable one… like the last person to ever be fired by Emily Gilmore.  *smile*','Good bye Gilmore Girls, Hello Gilmore Girls',0,'','publish','closed','open','','good-bye-gilmore-girls-hello-gilmore-girls','','','2007-05-25 21:06:59','2007-05-26 02:06:59','',0,'http://www.savvymommy.com/blog/2007/05/23/good-bye-gilmore-girls-hello-gilmore-girls/',0,'post','',0),(102,2,'2007-05-31 12:17:29','2007-05-31 17:17:29','<font face=\"Times New Roman\" size=\"3\">Satellite radio no longer in the zipcar, I had to resort to going through the entire FM radio dial every five minutes while driving to (and back from) Albany yesterday. </font>\r\n\r\n<font face=\"Times New Roman\" size=\"3\">But the best part of the drive was passing through some town that sounded like an ailment and hearing the DJ say it\'s our You Pay, We Play for charity day so “I apologize to my boss but ____ from _____ made a large donation to our fundraiser so I have to play this songâ€</font>\r\n\r\n<font face=\"Times New Roman\" size=\"3\">And then <em>Dominic the Donkey</em> started.</font>\r\n\r\n<font face=\"Times New Roman\" size=\"3\"><em><strong>Hey!

(And yes I’ve already started to get my red envelopes ready as Chinese wedding banquets simply rock.)\r\n\r\nHoping to score big at the craps table or the slots today?  Well have fun with the crowds of gamblers who woke up with the same idea.  The casinos in Vegas, Connecticut and Atlantic City are filled with day trippers who believe today – July 7, 2007 – will bring them the luck they’ve always needed.  That in itself is enough to make me stay away.  (Can you imagine the lines for everything from tables to the buffet line at the Bellagio. Oh forget it.)\r\n\r\nSpeaking of winning money, planning on playing the lottery today?  I never play the lotto but planned to buy a $1 ticket for each of my kids for the fun of it. Well in New York’s lottery, 777 can’t be played in numbers. Oh well.

Yes, I really wrote that incredibly juvenile word. In caps. That’s pretty much the jist of my opinion about Dell.  I have no love for Dell. None. Or Michael Dell for that matter.\r\n\r\nI can’t understand how Michael Dell,  a father of four, could own a company and rest easy at night knowing other self employed parents are out there using his computers and getting the worse customer service, sales assistance and technical support known to man.  His high school aged child is probably the only student getting through writing an entire term paper without a Dell computer crashing on her.\r\n\r\nI bought a Dell Inspiron. Even bought the Gold Technical Support service plan so some company contracted by Dell could come to my home or office and fix the laptop if anything happened. And what happened? I’ve lost a bunch of documents. I’ve had parts break. Keys fall off. Motherboards fail. Hard drives crash. I’ve cursed a bunch (mostly Dell) and now I have decided to get a new laptop since my old one isn’t worth a subway ride during holiday season, I can’t even get my laptop soon.\r\n\r\nSo the mom of three who works more hours than anyone she knows is now laptop less until September 6<sup>th</sup> although my Latitude laptop was ordered last week.  How can you pay over $2,500 for a laptop and still have to wait a month for it?  Do they think everyone who orders from Dell has a replacement laptop hanging around for times they order from Dell and have to wait weeks before it arrives?\r\n\r\nAnd don’t get me started on the crappy excuses about why it’s shipping later or why it costs so much for a laptop that’s honestly not going to last long at all. Or the fact the customer service representative offered me $150 because I would be out of a computer until September 5<sup>th</sup> or 6<sup>th</sup>.  What is $150 going to do for my business? My hourly rate is even more than $150.\r\n\r\nAnd before you say it. I know. Shame on me for ordering a Dell when I’ve had so much trouble with my current Dell laptop. I know. Shame on me. It’s not going to happen again.  It’s not an excuse to think you could use your existing credit line while thinking the company may have better computers this time around.\r\n\r\n<span />\r\n\r\nWhen someone puts their name on a product or uses their name as their business name they really should be responsible for ever aspect of their business if they want to enjoy the success all of their customers gave them. After all, can\'t customers go elsewhere?\r\n\r\n<span />Anyone know of a company with a fairly light laptop I should have bought instead? Email me at <a href=\"mailto:victoria@savvymommy.com?subject=Dell\">Victoria@SavvyMommy.com</a>. And I\'ll read all about them once my laptop finally arrives and I can check email again. The customer service rep asked me for my email address even after I told her I couldn\'t get back into my laptop.\r\n\r\nPlease post the info on better computers below. \r\n\r\nAnd if you are one of the publicists for Dell who have pitched me in the past about your latest and greatest models which “would be perfect for Moms, Dads and Grads…â€  clearly I’ve lost your email address and its doubtful I’ll ever include a Dell in any of my segments now.

I completely dispelled the rumor.

Trust me. It\'s a small world.</li>\r\n	<li>I would never call myself a foodie. I want to eat the best food but I’m not dying to learn all about it.</li>\r\n	<li>I had to ask my sister what “No clouds in my stonesâ€ meant. Yeah, I’m tragically unhip when it comes to rap music.</li>\r\n	<li>I’m a Cancer.  The astrological sign. Not to society.</li>\r\n	<li>In a few short months, I will be living in a new apartment. So not excited to pack but happy to move.</li>\r\n	<li>I experience déjà vu a little too often.</li>\r\n	<li>Regrets, I have a few. The biggest – Not speaking with my grandfather the day I called and chatted with my grandmother. I just asked how he was doing.  The next day my grandfather died.</li>\r\n	<li>My caller ID at the office doesn’t work. I don’t care. I’m not afraid to talk with anyone who has my direct number.</li>\r\n	<li>I’m thinking of having a park bench in Central Park dedicated to my kids.</li>\r\n	<li>I waste money on take out. Way too much. But its so easy to order when you are just so plain tired after the kids have eaten dinner.</li>\r\n	<li>I’ve never watched a movie in a movie theater by myself.  Although once I went with a friend from college and he insisted on sitting three seats away just so any of the gay men in the theater didn’t get the wrong idea and think he was with me!!!</li>\r\n	<li>I declined the invite to join an exclusive social club. It had nothing to do with the Russell Trust Association.</li>\r\n	<li>I have a Mork from Ork coloring book somewhere in my storage boxes.</li>\r\n	<li>If I was a boy, I was going to be named Stephen. Why wasn’t I called Stephanie? Not sure.</li>\r\n	<li>I once had a celebrity offer to fly me to Vegas to celebrate his birthday with him. Um. Hell-Naw!</li>\r\n	<li>Growing up, I liked my sister’s name more than my own. But I didn’t want her name instead.</li>\r\n	<li>I was asked to be on a reality tv show. It’s so the last reality show anyone would expect to see me on.</li>\r\n	<li>I love shopping at The Farmer’s Market but hate having to carry everything around until I’m done with my other errands and can go home.</li>\r\n	<li>I was offered the student discount at Cohen’s Fashion Optical. Guess its better than being offered the senior discount.</li>\r\n	<li>If one more morning show anchor screws up and calls me Veronica, I will be a billionaire.  Seriously, what is it about Victoria that makes you think Veronica?</li>\r\n	<li>I like the word Vajajay.  But taught my daughter to say the correct word.</li>\r\n	<li>I’m tired of the fake celebrities having feuds (Heidi and Spencer who?), quickie stints at rehab and not calling a cab if they drank the bouncer under the table.</li>\r\n	<li>While we are talking about celebrity… Why am I alerted every time one gets pregnant. Just because she played an extra on the 14<sup>th</sup> episode of Friends doesn’t mean an official statement needs to be released from her spokesperson.</li>\r\n	<li>I find it hard to watch The Late Show with David Letterman. I can’t stomach Dave. But The Tonight Show with Jay Leno tapes every night on my bedroom TiVo. I watch it when I’m up at 2AM working.</li>\r\n	<li>I’m an ATT Wireless <s>Cingular Wireless</s> AT&amp;T cell phone customer. Have been since 2002.</li>\r\n	<li>I don’t have an iPhone but I think it looks pretty darn cool.</li>\r\n	<li>After being nagged about creating a MySpace page, I finally did. And now I don’t even blog on it.</li>\r\n	<li>If I could hire a fulltime dog walker, I would get my daughter the dog she keeps asking for. But there is no way I’m cleaning poop for another resident of my house.</li>\r\n	<li>In my underwear drawer, I have a pair of panties I paid $130 for next to a pair I paid $8 for a pack of three.</li>\r\n	<li>I was never hit with a ruler by a teacher. That was my biggest fear.</li>\r\n	<li>I did get demerits while in school.  And I think I may have once served detention. Can’t remember.</li>\r\n	<li>In the past three days, I’ve experienced bad customer service from six retailers.</li>\r\n	<li>I am way too nice to waitresses who drop bowls of broccoli cheddar soup on me.</li>\r\n	<li>I’ve never watched an episode of The Simpsons but several years ago, I owned two Bart Simpson tee shirts. One said Aye Carumba.  The other “I’m Bart Simpson.. who the hell are you?â€  Nice.</li>\r\n	<li>Very few people know my youngest son had an unexpected operation at 10 weeks old.</li>\r\n	<li>When my son was in the operating room, I kept thinking he was going to die.  But when the surgeon came out the operating room, I completely forgot that thought.</li>\r\n	<li>While there are plenty of mommy bloggers who are on my weekly or monthly reading list, I hardly leave comments.  If I’m going to catch up on more than one of my favorite mom blogs, I can’t take the time to leave a comment.

Shhhh… a Mike &amp; Ike now and then won’t kill them.</li>\r\n	<li>I always tip servers/waiters much more than they expect. Sometimes they are clearly happy. Other times they act as if they could care less. But I still do it. Because I could never last a week as a waitress.</li>\r\n	<li>When I was a little girl, my grandparents took me to Amish Country for a day trip. The last time I went, I took my grandmother and my children and we sat next to the wrestler, Mick Foley.  I passed the apple butter and didn’t care his son wouldn’t keep his clothes on. But he could hardly eat because a wrestling fan was at another table. And wouldn’t shut up with the questions.</li>\r\n	<li>I had chicken pox as a kid. Not sure calamine lotion even helped.</li>\r\n	<li>I’ve never put a bumper sticker on a car I owned/leased.  One day, a campaign worker put one on my car and I flipped out.</li>\r\n	<li>If I meet someone today and not see them again for 20 years, I’ll still remember their name.</li>\r\n	<li>I’ve never had a deep fried oreo or twinkie.  But I love zeppoles. But only at San Genarro.</li>\r\n	<li>I believe everyone can reference <em>Seinfeld</em> for something that’s happened in their life.</li>\r\n	<li>A pinkberry is opening right by Columbia which means my trek for some will no longer be to Spring Street during the work day.</li>\r\n	<li>When I’m outside, about 80% of the time, I say ‘bless you’ after someone I don’t know sneezes.</li>\r\n	<li>I watch way too much television. Way too much garbage. But even I have some standards.</li>\r\n	<li>St. Mark’s Place is quite an interesting street. It hasn’t changed much since I was in high school.</li>\r\n	<li>Don’t know who I will be voting for in the 2008 election.</li>\r\n	<li>I am no longer a DELL customer. I was from 1999 to August 2007.  Now I have a HP.  Long live, HP.</li>\r\n	<li>Sometimes I break out into song with Weezer song lyrics. “The Sweater Songâ€ is my favorite one. Followed by “my name is Jonasâ€.  (And yes, I do know the lyrics to Beverly Hills.)</li>\r\n	<li>I haven’t read my “favoriteâ€ books in about 10 years.  Not sure if they can still be considered my favorite.</li>\r\n	<li>Movies that have struck me: Beyond Borders, 12 Monkeys, The Last Kiss, Skeleton Key, War of the Worlds (all for very different reasons)</li>\r\n	<li>When I graduated from Kindergarten I said I wanted to grow up to be an artist.</li>\r\n	<li>If I could turn back time, I wouldn’t.

And for the tiniest little ones … phase in can be so hard for them and for parents.  Because it’s tough to watch and it’s sad to hear them crying for you when you are told to leave the room.\r\n\r\nEdie Falco is in the middle of phasing in her 2 ½ year old son, the same phase in process I just finished with my not quite 2 ½ year old son Luke.  She was just quoted in Cindy Adams’ <a href=\"http://www.nypost.com/seven/09182007/gossip/cindy/o_j___other_celebrity_junk.htm\">New York Post</a> column talking about her phase in experience and I totally get it:\r\n<blockquote>\"It\'s my son\'s first week in school. Anderson is 2½ and starting pre-K. The way they do it now is that we\'re told we must sit in the classroom with our kid. I don\'t know how long that goes on, but right now, for me, my career these days is being mommy. So, no parties or luncheons for the moment. Anybody wants me, I\'m sitting in the rear of a classroom.\"</blockquote>\r\nThere’s no way to explain phasing in until you go through it because it completely consumes you.  Luke’s almost 29 months old and has never been in a school setting before and while some may say “Of course he hasn’t! He’s only 2!â€, many parents here send their kids to “schoolâ€ at 2 after spending months in “classesâ€ a few mornings a week. \r\n\r\nSo some children are well adjusted to a classroom from day one because they have been in settings like these pretty much since birth while Luke wasn’t exactly thrilled with the idea of mommy sitting in the class room one minute and the next minute hearing “Mommy will be back soonâ€.\r\n\r\nBut I’m happy to say, phase in is done for me. No more sitting in the classroom. No more waiting in the gym because there’s a chance I’ll have to take him home an hour after I brought him to school.\r\n\r\nChin up to all the parents still in the phase in process. It will be done soon. And you will never have to worry about hearing that gym door open worrying if the progress report coming in will be about your child.','Phase In',0,'','publish','open','open','','phase-in','','','2007-09-18 04:49:08','2007-09-18 09:49:08','',0,'http://www.savvymommy.com/blog/2007/09/18/phase-in/',0,'post','',0),(116,2,'2007-09-18 23:09:52','2007-09-19 04:09:52','A friend of mine came to town this afternoon and was put up at a rarely cleaned urine smelling <s>half way house </s>“hotelâ€ courtesy of the quality talk show she is appearing on tomorrow.  (She’s taping her show this week - next week they are doing a story on serial killers… who will probably find it to be very home like at that <s>hotel </s>property.)\r\n\r\nThankfully while eating at <a href=\"http://www.myspace.com/fredsnyc\"><font color=\"#0000ff\">Fred’s</font></a> last night, her calls were returned and she moved from her “Deluxe Roomâ€ at the Hotel Newton where she complained about hair all over her bathroom floor and they responded “What color was it?â€\r\n\r\n(Exhibit A taken with my camera phone will be posted here in the morning)\r\nto a $700 room at the Doubletree.
