Time for a quickie?
Hello you beautiful people:
(Except you. Yes, you. You, the meanie who keeps sending me nasty comments.)
Here are 10 reasons why this is a good week.
1. American Idol is on tonight.
2. I can watch CSI reruns with Grissom. You CSI hardcores like me will not like the fact that Grissom and William L. Petersen who plays him, are both on leave, and replaced by the ho-hum Liev Schreiber. Yawn-o-rama.
3. I ran 8.5 kilometres yesterday. I kid you not. Thanks Tracie!
4. Women are agreeing with me on my views about our littlest of ladies. (If you just can't get enough of me, my culture column runs every second week in The Whig-Standard. This column was published yesterday. You can also read them online on the paper's website under opinion columns.)
5. There is a dinner date with the BF and some escargot in my future.
6. One daycare centre seems optimistic they'll have a spot for us in September.
7. My mom and dad are coming for a visit soon. Yes, it's OK to miss your folks even when you're 29.
8. Speaking of 29. I'm still 29. Not for long though ...
9. I discovered Loblaws sells a pretty good naan bread. It's no Curry Original but sometimes you need curry in a hurry.
10. I'm now 143.5 pounds. This is BIG news. Actually, it's SKINNY news. That's 4.5 less than when I got pregnant AND half a pound less than when I was in high school. More on this later though. Again, thanks Tracie.

I must admit. I'm a William L. Peterson fan myself and there is, literally, no one who could replace him.
Congrats on that run and the loss of the baby weight. Wow. ;-)
Why don't you update your 'bout Sarah weight since you have new weight data. Congrats on your mini-marathon and the prospective "good news" on your daycare dilemma.Happy trails to you!
Yeh Sarah-good news on all fronts. I do miss Grissom, but there's something 'bout that Liev hhuuuummmm-kinda that mysterious bad boy look he gets-propably just me. I wish I had your motivation to run!! You go girl!

Hey Sarah
Why do you seem to always respond to the negative comments, but rarely the positive ones?
Just curious.
To you,
Hmmm... that's a good question.
I think that this is the truth: I feel like I have so little time to blog that when I do have the time, I try and tell a little story. I love the comments, I really do, I just like poking the negative posters because it seems so silly to me to say something negative on a blog.
A blog isn't like a newspaper. You haven't put your $1 in the box to buy the paper, only to open it to Page 3 to find something infuriating. I work in newspapers. I fully understand why people send in snotty letters to the editors. But blogs? No one is forcing anyone to come on here and read it so I find it really intriguing that people take the time to leave mean messages ...
I guess it's like a verbal punching bag. You're ticked because your kid just barfed on you, your husband is cheating, the $4.99 spinach you just bought is already wilting, the weight isn't coming off fast enough, you fell asleep during the most recent episode of CSI, or you hate snow. Whatever the reason you're cranky, you take your hostility out here.
I also respond to the mean ones sometimes because I think I know who the posters are and I like the idea that I can get their knickers more in a knot.
You're right though ... If people take the time to post a comment, I should try and acknowledge them.
Note taken.
I was kind of surprised by your article... for someone who blogs like a hip yummy-mummy, your column made you sound like an out of touch and over-the-hill fogie, not anything like the so hip Eckler-copy you pose with on here.
I mean, sure, little kids want to look and act like 21-year olds (and btw, who’s 27 and popular/idolized in Hollywood??) but that’s really nothing new. I dressed like a Spice Girl when I was 13. I dressed like cat woman (black vinyl and fake nails) when I was 6.
Every generation will have its idols more shocking than the next—I just thought you were more in touch with youth culture than the generalizations and hyperbole you used in the column.
Hey Paige,
Over the hill fogie? Dear lord, girlfriend.
I am a hip yummy-mummy. You should see how flat my stomach is just five months after giving birth ... joking. Not really. But I'm getting to my point.
I'm all for fashion, coolness, hipness and sass - just not on our gals in slutty ways.
Can't you be all that and be classy, too?
Look at Angelina Jolie. She's got the hottest bod and the hottest man and she does good for the world. Isn't she a good role model?
Is my copy Eckler-esque or is Rebecca's copy Crosbie-esque? Use a No. 2 pencil. You have 10 minutes to express your answer in long form. :)
So if those 43.4% of girls wanted to be a personal assistant to Angelina that'd be okay?
Haha kidding, she's a homewrecker, that's not classy! (haha, kidding again, kinda...)
But anyways, yes I like the point of your article that it's up to parents to keep their girls in line. (and boys too! they need to learn to not objectify women!)
I totally believe that media literacy should be as mandatory as math in school, too. But considering that so many parents can't even keep their kids from smoking, this is a tough battle...
(though I still condone underage drinking; I think drinking should be like getting a drivers license--you take a course on responsible drinking and you're goo to go. Cos a birthday doesn't make anyone better at knowing when they've had too much Stoli.)
