Longing for line-item veto power

Beth over at C. Beth Blog posited today about the wishful joys of having line-item veto power.
What an intoxicating idea!

So I'm spreading the love, which is so much nicer than saying I stole her idea, don't you think?

Like Beth – I'd keep cooking, but I'd veto dirty dishes!

I'd keep newborns but veto labor pains.

I'd keep my husband but veto nasty habits (like toxic gas) and petty arguments.

I'd keep ageless beauty and vitality but veto PMS and menopause.

I'd keep sexy firemen (or insert your favorite: men in uniform, cabana boys, men who love housework?) but veto pot bellies.

I'd keep snacks but veto empty calories.

Isn't this fun? While we wait for our line-item veto power, why don't you go over to C. Beth Blog and tell Beth how you'd make your life easier with that powerful red editing pen?

Lettuce Be on Your Heads

After a brief flirtation with the idea of posting when a former boss announced I would be authoring a video blog, and various friends saying I "really should start a blog," I've decided to take the plunge.

Let it be on your heads (you know who you are) if these musings fail to enlighten or entertain. You put me up to it. What follows is a log of my life, such as it is.

I'm a first-time mom with a ridiculously cute baby boy to dote on, who I will call Little Sprout.

Doesn't he make a great garnish? He's a deadly little charmer with disarming, deep brown eyes AND he's a good sport about wearing salad. So expect to see more fun photos of him in future posts.
