This is the point in the game when I remember
That I find football really, really, really boring.

Just watched "I Don't Know How She Does It"
Pretty sure that as a “comedy” it wasn’t intended to make me cry.
Yeah, it hits close to home.
I noticed the bit at the end where it says “everything in this movie is fictitious and any resemblance to real stuff is coincidental.”
So you weren’t eavesdropping at my house at Thanksgiving and then wrote the scene where the MIL comments that her husband certainly...

Apparently I'm still new at all this computer...
I messed up my photo yesterday. So if you missed my words, check them out now.
Let’s see if I can keep from messing this up for the next 26 days …

Ooops!
From PRWeek:
Pfizer is recalling just under a million packets of birth control pills in the US because they may not contain enough contraceptive to prevent pregnancy.
“An investigation by Pfizer found that some blister packs may contain an inexact count of inert or active ingredient- tablets and that the tablets may be out of sequence,” the company said in a statement. That could...
Picture Day, Take 2
I was obsessing over Maddie’s preschool picture. It just didn’t look like her. So I waited until the last minute, then decided last night to send in a new check and get a new set of photos taken.
So …
Me: Maddie, did you get your picture taken today?
Maddie: Yes!
Me: Show me how you smiled.
Maddie: {Makes totally crazy face} See? Like a monkey.
Greeeeeat. I think we can...

Edit: Monday Check-in
Actually, really what I’m obsessing over today is Maddie’s preschool pictures and whether or not we should get them re-done tomorrow.
And Kindergarten. I’m totally obsessing over Kindergarten.
Monday Check-in
Obsessing over: My company’s big announcement today.
Working on: Ditto, above.
Thinking about: Ditto, above.
Anticipating: The Super Bowl.
Listening to: A bit of baby background noise as I’m working from home.
Drinking: Early Grey tea. The real kind from Fornum & Mason in London.

Today
Remember that scene in “The Devil Wears Prada” where Miranda is on her way in and everyone goes into a frenzy and Stanley Tucci screams “Gird your loins!”?
Yeah, that’s what today is going to be like.
Minus the 6-inch heels. So I guess there’s that.
Make that 38,539
I don't watch that much TV
And yet I feel like I’ve seen the commercial for SMASH about 38,538 times.
Why yes, yes I did.
sotheresthat replied to your post: If you were confused too
I only knew because someone else linked. Did you get the smoking hot New Zealander in your search?
If you didn’t even bother to Google Martin Henderson when Dinklage instructed you to, let me do you a favor.

You’re welcome.

By the way, this is not the Martin Henderson I got when I Googled.
I don't get it.
I Googled Martin Henderson as instructed by Dinklage.
What am I missing? Help me Tumblr!
Almost Famous
Julie Frost, the woman next to Madonna is wearing a dress designed by the wife of someone I went to HS with.
So, I practically know Madonna.
And to be clear, I haven’t seen the guy since before most of you were born.
Nevertheless.
Focus on the Family ad during NFL playoffs ...
And during the Golden Globes an ad for the Church of Scientology.
Does anyone else think this makes some kind of weird sense?
When Mila Kunis talks all I hear is Meg Griffin.

Facebook : Tumblr :: Family holiday : Party with...
Right?
It’s not that Facebook isn’t fun. It’s just so … obligatory. And there’s more than a few people that, if we’re being honest, you wouldn’t have *chosen* to be there.
Or is it just me?
Self-knowledge
Really what I should do is subscribe to In Style. I pay $4 when I buy it on the newstand. It’s roughly $1 per issue by subscription. I would save $35 a year if I just subscribed. Not exactly change-your-life money, but still.
But I won’t. Instead I’ll keep doing what I currently do, which is convince myself that I’m not really an In Style reader. I just pick it up when I...
Aaaaaaand I'm sick
UGH.
This week
Might be horrible.
Sam is sick. I think he’s on the mend, but it has not been pleasant.
Maddie says she is sick, too. Hard to tell if she’s sick or if this is a bid for attention. Either way, also not pleasant.
Preston has to leave tomorrow night to go to D.C. for a family funeral.

Know any great B2B PR people in NYC?
Yes, I’m looking again.
I can’t figure out how to put the listing link here, so if you go to the careers page look for “Manager, Marketing Communications.” Or just hit my Ask box and I’ll send you more information.
