I’ve always loved memes – from the time they were passed around in middle school notebooks to the recent reincarnation in the blogosphere.  I also adore Sarah Jessica Parker.  A few month ago I watched a video interview she did with Vogue, “73 questions with SJP.”  It was fun and it gave me an idea for a blog.  I transcribed all the questioned and saved them for another day.  That day has come!  I’ve been working on an essay all week for a class I’m taking and my brain is fried.  I failed to hook up with Mama Kat this week and aside from a guest post at the Family Legacy Center, it’s been quiet here at The Latchkey Mom.  So if you’ll indulge me, I will pretend I am Miss Sarah Jessica Parker and answer Vogue’s questions:
