Merryland Girl Blog Interview

My friend Melissa interviewed me on her blog, Merryland Girl.  She’s featuring a series inspired by Cecelia Ahern’s  One Hundred Names.   I was lucky to be one of the 52!  She titled my interview, On the Road Again.  So appropriate, since that’s the song I play for the kids, each morning on our road trips.  You can read the interview here:

Everyone is mad for Mad Men!

Mad-Men-Square[1]Everybody is mad for Mad Men, or at least that’s how it seems.  It’s been everywhere recently – magazine covers, commercials, entertainment websites and in the blogosphere.    I was shocked by the level of buzz.  Pleased, but shocked.  I love Mad Men, but sadly, I have only a handful of friends who watch, despite my pleading.  In an attempt to get one friend to watch, I lent her the first season for about six months (yes Ms. Chamblin, I am talkin’ to you) and she didn’t watch a single episode.  I cannot fathom, I was aghast.

In Defense of Rock Star Crushes

Beiberettes, One Directioners, I’m here to tell you, I get it.  I’ve been there.  I have a history of rock star crushes.  Donny Osmond.  Shaun Cassidy.  Rick Springfield.  Rod Stewart.  Jon Bon Jovi.  Paul Stanley.  Jon Bon Jovi.  I pretty much kept going back to Jon, because who doesn’t love him? Eventually, I did grow up a little and my rock star fantasies took on a certain nostalgia.  Real life became about marriage, babies and bills.

Alas, as a sign of a possible midlife crisis, I find myself once again, rock star smitten.  Continue reading My Ode to Bobby
