Happy Friday!!

They were making a big deal about this YouTube clip today on GMA.

For some reason this really doesn’t impress me. I think it’s because we ladies do this stuff ALL the time. I mean, I don’t jump off a house to get into my jeans or anything. Well, maybe a small shed.

So Linsay Lohan’s mom Dina got Mother of the Year from Mingling Moms of Long Island. What do you think a Mingling Mom is? I’m thinking about signing my mom up for it. Then Li Lo and I could hang out. I could totally help her get off the sauce. And she could help me stay away from caffeine. We could suffer together. (I’ve TOTALLY fallen off the wagon! Do NOT tell my fanatical doctor.) Anyway, Mom, start practicing your mingling.

A few weeks ago I got to stop by quite a few blogs and hang out. This one was one of my favorites. Scrambled Dregs–don’t you love the name? It is ALWAYS nice when people interview you and give you some PR for the book. (The Big Picture, by the way is available at a store near you now. Would make a great Mother’s Day, graduation, or National Towel Day present.) But to be honest, I STINK at talking about the books. I’d just always rather talk about other important things. Like the next Twilight book. Or Ryan Seacrest’s clothing choices in Idol. So I REALLY get into the fun questions that have absolutely NOTHING to do with the books. (My publisher will be SO proud, I’m sure.) But who DOESN’T like questions such as “Which crayon color in the box describes you?” SO much better than: Please describe the multi-layered symbolism of the dirt on Katie’s shirt in the third scene in Chapter 33, fourth paragraph, and explain how it is similar to the Bruce Springsteen song “Born on the Fourth of July” as well as the seventh book in Leviticus. I remember the first time somebody previewed the yet-unpublished In Between and pointed out some symbolism for me. I was like, “Uh, yeah…yeah, that’s EXACTLY what it means. Of course I did that on purpose. I’m deep like that.”

I don’t really have anything else exciting to discuss. I’m so boring today. But here are some final thoughts as I go into my weekend.

1. I’m going to see Iron Man even though I don’t see how it’s even remotely possible that Robert Downey Jr. could be a super hero. But everyone keeps raving about it.

2. Something REALLY reeks in my kitchen. I’ve traced it to the floor beneath a drawer. I’m afraid to see what it is, so I keep holding my nose and pretending it’s not there. What if it’s gross? What if it’s a body part, and I have to call CSI? Speaking of CSI, I accidentally caught about 30 minutes of CSI Miami. Horatio is OUT OF CONTROL with the fake sexy voice and sun glasses removal. I found evidence.

Jim Carrey apparently watches too.

So I’ll let you know what’s under there, and if I need to call in Horatio from CSI.

Happy Mingling Mother’s Day to all!
