• Dear Nan

    Dear Nan,
    Thank you so much for keeping Wells and G last weekend so Steve and I could go out of town. I noticed, when I got them home, that you had given G a little bang trim. I was very surprised that you, of all people, would cut my baby’s hair. As a child, you let my hair grow so long it appeared to be for religious reasons. And, every time I mention taking the boys for a haircut you throw your hands in the air in protest and threaten to disown me if more than an inch is removed. So, you can imagine my shock when I saw this…

    Steve wanted me to ask you how you got him to hold still long enough to cut it. But, judging by the looks of his hair, you didn’t. All week I have tried to figure out who he looks like with his new snip job. It took me a while to put my finger on it, but it finally came to me.

    Your poor grandchild already thinks he has multiple names- Graham, Gus, Baby G, Grahamburger, G, G money. Now, thanks to you, we can add Lloyd Christmas, Jim Carey, LC and dumber. Oh, and in case you forgot, G’s birthday is next week. And with birthdays, come parties. And with parties, come pictures. Lots of pictures. Thanks, Nan.

    Don’t get me wrong, you are a fantastic grandmother, and I love you dearly. And I really appreciate you keeping my children, honest, I do. But, if you EVER get near my baby with a pair of scissors again, I will take them both for buzz cuts. Disowned or not.

    Love and kisses,
    Wowie

  • Best Dressed

    My Golden Globes best dressed pick is… Emma Stone.

    She looked beautiful in a simple Calvin Klein. Loved the color. I almost didn’t recognize her with the new blonde ‘do. But, of course, I recognized her. We go waaaay back. We worked on a movie together, you know? We are practically besties. Congrats, E!

  • it’s my birth week…

    That’s right, folks. It is my birth week. And as I’ve pointed out to almost everyone who knows me, it is kind of a big deal. See, the thing is, having a birthday in January pretty much sucks. It is right after Christmas, so everyone is broke. And you can forget having a pool party. So, I have to make the most of it.

    I know, I know. You didn’t need to be reminded. But I thought I’d go ahead while you still have time to order gifts. And cupcakes. And balloons. What? I am doing you a favor, really. I could just keep my expectations to myself and you would never meet them. And I don’t want you to feel like a failure. This way it’s win win. You’re welcome.
