1. Believing in yourself is a recipe for destruction.
2. Every time I see a bell ring, I think an angel got his wings. Then I think that some other angel lost his because someone masturbated.
3. On my DVR you will find my cat. Because it’s warm.
4. Having a cold sore means always having to defend your promiscuity.
5. After the end of the world, no one will care if your files are in order so you should spend that time watching TV instead.

Friend Update: I didn’t exactly call her at her office and ask her if she wanted to be friends again.
I chickened out.
I’m one of those people who don’t like to call friends at work. I always feel like I’m bothering people when they should be working. And since we hadn’t talked in a while I didn’t want to just call.
I looked her husband up on Super Pages so I could call her at home. They used to be listed so I figured I should check again. No longer there. Seriously, what is with them going all unlisted on me?!!
But then I remembered way back when she used a Hotmail or Yahoo or Mail email account. So I sent a short “Is that you?” type of email out to a variation of her name at each of those domains. Most bounced back. One didn’t.
And I heard from her this morning.
We’re all set for lunch.
But I’m nervous. I found a current photo of her online and she looks great. Longer hair than before. Last time we saw each other she had this bold Tinker Bell hairstyle (but not blonde) and now she’s all different.
I’ve changed. I’m fat now. Ha! You know what I mean. I’m just different.
I’ll stop being ridiculous. But before I do, what if I get to our lunch and there’s really been such a change in our lives since we last saw each other that we no longer can be friends. That’d be awful. Is that even possible?
I’m going to go think positively now.
We are going to catch up and everything is going to be fine. Just like on my wedding day when she ran into the coffee shop with me all dressed up just for a photo opp. Not caring the whole Upper West Side must have thought we were crazy con queso.

For every story you hear about mom bloggers that sounds like it was ripped from a page of some catty high school drama, there are countless times where mommy bloggers help one another.
And I don’t mean only in that incredible, amazing sign of support we all saw for Stephanie Nielson after her horrific plane crash but even in little ways that would mean so much to other moms.
Like me. When I was on a search for kids of all ages to show up for no pay and give up part of their Saturday morning so I could look glorious, the following ladies – all mom bloggers – came to my rescue without so much as a second thought -
And so I thank them. Visit their blogs. Add them to Twitter. Support their sponsors.
Because if they didn’t support me, it would have just been Erica Hill and I chatting with no one to walk down the runway.
