"#OccupyStarbucks" -by Jill Hickey Occupy Wall Street is at a fever pitch and has now spread to Occupy Dallas, Occupy Houston, Occupy San Franscico & surely to Occupy Sioux City & Occupy Yuma. Their Mission Statement is below:
Occupy Wall Street is leaderless resistance movement with people of many colors, genders and political persuasions. The one thing we all have in common is that We Are The 99% that will no longer tolerate the greed and corruption of the 1%. We are using the revolutionary Arab Spring tactic to achieve our ends and encourage the use of nonviolence to maximize the safety of all participants. REALLYYYYYYY??????? * A 'leaderless resisistance movement' ? Who picked the marching place, set up the website and printed up the t-shirts? Who thought of the hashtag? Kudos to them, too! BEAUTIFUL weather we're having. Guessing Occupy Wall Street Stage 2 won't be in February. Whomever DIDN"T LEAD this LEADERLESS group is pretty smart. * Greed and Corporate Corruption? SO, ALL of the disgruntled 99% have pulled all their money from banks, stocks from the various markets & un-enrolled in higher education which has steadily increased tuition rates 439% from 1982 to 2007? * Arab Spring. I didn't know they still made that soap.....
#OccupyWallStreet with all it's pathos & pageantry is simply a red herring created by the mainstrem media. The REAL STORY no other media outlets are reporting? Starbucks Cake Pop Outages Reach Def Con 5.
Well my store gets about 2 a week and it's packed. Save the shady math for the tax code!
#OccupyStarbucks Mission Statement:
Occupy Starbucks is lead by me...cuz I thought of it. I am 99% sure that I will no longer tolerate weekly outages of delicious, gorgeous, amazing, user-friendly, child-pleasing lumps of love called Cake Pops. We won't using the revolutionary Arab Spring tactic, mostly cuz it's just me so far...and I didn't have time to Google Arab Spring, or their soap. to achieve our ends and encourage the use of nonviolence to maximize the safety of all participants.

NotSoSoccerMom Show LineUp: 1pm ESt, Noon Central -----Meet the Host, Today: Pitubull Concert review, Halloween Candy Eating Season begins & HAVE YOU SEEN MY ARMANI FOUNDATION BRUSH???? (story) ! 1:15 Esteemed Guest: Ralph The Poodle 1:40 POTUS Watch 2012--- Other Esteemed Guest: WomenExplode.com's Ann Dillard is with Jill to handicap the race. Jill's Latest Blog Piece from Michelle Obama went to Target the other day. Target posted this on their Facebook page. Hundreds of comments ensued, many negative. Reader/ Listener ‘Berg’ in Omaha made an interesting point “When did it become okay to just bash people?” I theorized it was about the time you could sit behind a keyboard, an avatar of a flower, not use your own name and not be held accountable. People are entitled to their opinions but in our Internet age, there is this community of trolls who’s mission is to tear down & communicate in ways I would venture they would not say in person. —course maybe they would—– This morning a two year old girl hit my son in the face. Standing right there, I said, “That’s not nice”. She countered with a guttural growl to me & another hit to Patrick. My opinion is that is learned behavior and she’s around people who are ugly & let her be as well. When I was growing up the term “plain white trash” was associated with particular layer of the socioeconomic parfait. However “trash” can be anywhere. It’s not skincolor or tax bracket. Who you are— how you treat yourself and others, what you say – behind a keyboard or in person, what you expect (OR DON”T) from your kids determines if you are ‘trash’.

Book Proposal:
1) OVERVIEW: (HOOK) “Fueled by the promise of a Venti Iced White Chocolate mocha, carrying an 18month old in a plastic helmet & vested in my usual black hat and work-out wear, I enter the Nieman Marcus in Short Hills, New Jersey to buy my husband, aka, Captain TimeManagement an anniversary gift. That’s when the blue stroller, purchased on a brisk walk in Spanish Harlem while my son’s cranium was being opened by a team of surgeons, finally breaks. I curse Armando. “
How did Jill Hickey, born in Panama City, former resident of Nebraska, Missouri, Arkansas, Connecticut & New Jersey end up in THIS very moment???? And WHY is she calling her HUSBAND ‘Captain TimeManagement’ if the Anniversary is TODAY and she doesn’t have a gift purchased?
2) ABOUT: NOT a chick lit, Mom-fabulous, or serious mom-blogger (Let me tell you about the best cure for diaper rash, couponing or baby-proofing tips )book. This is a journey of one mom blogger, which began by when her husband’s promotion moved our family from the lovely, yet HOT South to Connecticut in 2005. At the time we had 3 daughters and I had no knowledge of a blog. But I called my Email Essays ‘Jill’s Blog.com” cuz I wanted to sound fabulous. And the list of recipients grew… and so did the storyline. What IS a NotSoSoccerMom? Find out. Hopefully we all--- MOMS, Dads, Aunts, kids, whomever--- have a LITTLE “NotSoSoccerMom” in us.
Born in Panama City, Panama, Jill is a German/Irish looking Spanish speaking Midwesterner who claims the South (‘three kids born in Little Rock. Wooooo Pig’) who, after 6 years in CT and Jersey can maneuver 42nd street driving and order a bagel with the best of them. While having 4 kids, aged 13-2, she never misses a beat when it comes to observing life, commenting on it and putting her own special political/ sociological and humorous spin on it What is David Sedaris & Erma Bombeck had a love-child? Now that’s not going to happen for SEVERAL reasons but that’s who Jill likes to think of herself as related to literally……& literarily.
3) Audience: Perfect Mom’s looking for Serious Parenting Advice May Not Go Looking For This Book… but they DO need to read this to get a look at the lighter side of life. Jill’s audience, while seemingly, MomCentric is surprisingly diverse. Men aged 20-70 will enjoy her political satires. Moms , grandmas and aunts will enjoy the parenting stories. And anyone generally fun and fabulous who can admit they ARE fun and fabulous--- WITHOUT taking themselves too seriously relate as well. Jill’s radio shows are listened to by 67 year old grandfathers, 35 year old mother’s of 3 & 26 year old gay men all at the same time!
4) “Like Books” / Same Genre: I’d love to say The Savvy Auntie or If You Give a Mom a Martini---- since they are acquaintances & former radio show guests Melanie Notkin & Lyss Stern. But I hope this book compares more to a Dave Barry or David Sedaris book----with a loving, genuine autobiographical story of self-discovery entangled with regional differences, parenting stories we can all relate to, some political commentary & the not-in-vain (get it?) quest to keep ahold of ones’ youth and sense of self, while still being a parent.
5) Sample:
Time
5/406
Wow. I really didn't perceive I was gonna have time to write today, but here I am... In addition to Cleaning and Errands to prepare for the arrival of my Parent's (known to the Blog community as Wayne and Julie Battenfield), Jerry drops on me that I need to be home today to greet the latest NorthEast Connecticut chapter meeting of the United Nations. That would be the crew of 5 guys from Basement Systems who've come here to jackhammer the crud out a tiny pump room to fix the water leakage from the sump pump. So, actually, I think, this will work well and force me to stay home and prepare for my company (side note: The Mall DID call. They were forming a Search Party.) When Angel (pronounced on-Hell. I'm soo not kidding here) and crew arrive, we figure out that none of them speak English.
Which is OK by your favorite Famous Internet Author because I get to practicar mi espanol and drum up business for my May Is National Cinco De Mayo awareness campaign. I was even thinking about opening up a cold Corona to show my solidarity but remembered it was only 10:40. Even I have standards. Anyway, they were really excited to hear about the Cinco De Mayo campaign.
They're here about 4.5 minutes when the "nick" into the GAS line... (another one of the joys of the Northeast, that Oh So Affordable Oil Heat). When we find a way for him to tell me in his broken English and me to answer in my cruddy Spanish, we agree that we'd better shut things down, ya know, so we can NOT be asphyxiated or be blown higher than the Empire State Building.
Soon, Mike from the Oil Company arrives. He is the Safety Guy come to shut everything down. Followed by another man from the Oil Company (he is the Fix It Guy) who OF COURSE, is not available due to some pressing Air Conditioner Training that they're all attending today. Side Note: I'm guessing I won't be using my Air Conditioner here EVER since I'm still wearing my sweatshirt on May 4th and I'm mildly concerned about having no heat for in this house this evening.
Guy Number Two wears worried look that says "Like everything else here, this is NOT gonna be cheap." No matter because Angel of Basement Systems will be signing a little Jill-Prepared statement before leaving claiming all responsibility. Will let you know how my L.A. Law moment goes...But, I'm nice, of course, to the guys, because accidents happen and because these are my people.
In the midst of all this, the Elementary calls. They want to know when I'm coming to pick up that book... You know, the hardback of Wet Dog which Allie Grace, age 7 had to have, signed by the author, after said author came to speak in her class. "Well, I sent her to school with $25 yesterday? Why didn't she purchase the book then?" Why? Because with her $25, $16.99 of which was earmarked for Wet Dog, she purchased a GreenDay poster, a Hello Kitty plastic pencil case, five erasers and one comic book. Sammy,age 4 and I hop up the school to purchase Signed Copy of Wet Dog which is now earmarked for beating Allie Grace.
NOW< This has all been happening while I'm supposed to be Cleaning and Doing to prepare for my parents to come and what do you think I'm doing????? Sitting here in front of this computer in the Green Sweatshirt and the Hat ( I DID put the spaceheater away).
I guess the moral of the story is this: If you're a betting person, which is a safer bet? Allie Grace to go to school with her check and actually get Wet Dog when there's a whole gym full of Pink, Plastic, CRAP???? OR Jill with a whole free day AT HOME earmarked for Cleaning and Doing to actually Clean and Do when there's the wonderful computer just right downstairs???? It's a draw.
Better go check my swaps at MakeupAlley.com, get a handful of Pringles and read a chapter or two of my book, Bump and Run by Mike Lupica. I can mop the kitchen, go to the grocery store, do 3 loads of laundry, clean out the car and vacuum and prepare dinner for 7 at about 5:25. After all, they shouldn't be here till 6ish and that will give me time to spare to hang AG's poster and help arrange all her plastic pink crap.

Singer/ Songwriter/ Rapper Noah Jones!

Noah Jones is living proof of hard work and believing in your dream brings forth progress and positivity. Many claim that rap is a young man's game - One look at Noah Jones and the resume he boasts with his 2009 accomplishments proves those naysayers incorrectly. Born and raised in Peekskill, New York, Noah Jones moved to St. Louis in 1994 and California in 1999 where he has resided for the last eleven years. Picking up the lifestyles and musical culture from living all over the USA, Noah Jones learned how to appeal to listeners outside of his region. Noah was reading the New Times by the age of five and writing short stories at age nine. Always talented with his penmanship craft, Noah began writing lyrics at age eleven. By performing at talent shows and concerts around the country, Noah was able to build a fan base in both New York & California rapidly. Basing his writing on emotions and feelings, Noah Jones is able to tell personal stories and his life biography through music. Having experienced the hardships of an average nine-five working man, Noah relates to regular people that face real life problems every day. Priding himself off being not just a "rapper" but an artist as a whole.

What is the chore you hate the most???? That you will beg, borrow & steal to get out of?
Mine is going to the grocery store. I would rather throw my legs up in stirrups and push out a baby with Nancy Pelosi as my Birth Coach WHILE getting a root canal than traverse the too-small aisles of our FREEEEEEEEEEEZING cold horribly-laid-out local Stop-n-Shop.
But today is Precious Princess Allie Grace Hickey’s 11th birthday. So to Stop-n-Shop I must go…. because Allie Grace is a Closer and if girl wants a Taco Bar & Sundae Bar at her party, you’re better off to just go… rather than hear about for several hours to come.
As I pull into the parking lot, the advice of Facebook Friend Tom in Little Rock rings in my ears. “Wear your Ipod. It makes it more bearable.” Hmmmmm- It IS right here?! Okay, I’ll try it.
First song: “The Continuing Story of Bungalow Bill” by the Beatles starts me off as I work through the (lame and teensy) Health & Beauty section. I am feeling this music thing. I perform the whistle outro at the end of the song, so the rest of Stop-n-Shop can enjoy one of the more quirky offerings from The Fab Four… and my melifluous whistling.
Another Beatles song? To what do I owe the pleasure, Mr. Shuffle? “Here Comes the Sun” is the perfect ditty to get me through the Artic weather in the milk & cheese aisle. I don’t even feel my fingers going numb and, as the faux sun rings in my ears, I decide to purchase a mexican 7 layer dip. How festive of me! It is at the moment that I notice “Here Comes the Sun”, which could arguably be placed on a Top Twenty list of The Best Songs Ever, is only 2minutes and 2 seconds long. That this should be a lesson to many, I think, as I lob the yummy dip in the cart. Just ’cause you play for 10 minutes, doesn’t make it a classic. Do you hear me, Led Zeppelin & Meatloaf?
I go into sentimental Allie Grace’s Birthday mode when “River Deep, Mountain High” by Celine Dion starts up. “Do I love you, my oh my? River deeeeep, mountain high yay yay yay.” Allie Grace positively lucks out that this tune is on while I was in the decor aisle and I merrily spring for expensive birthday cups, balloons, candy, sprinkles, even “Children’s Wine” (the sparkling cider). It’s all I can do not to grande jete over to large tin of caramel corn. Of course my Allie Grace deserves this, don’t you agree, Celine?
“Oh how I love you baby, baby, babeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.”
A special thank you to The Killers extended remix of “Mr. Brightside” for accompanying me through the always-confusing produce section.
Now it’s time to load the truck with a thousand bags of Taco and Sundae Bar fodder. I’ll need something motivating: Fast forward through the shuffle. John Denver? No. Greenday? A little much. Of course! ELO. Across the parking lot I go “Holding on Tight” to my bags.
Try this with your worst chore. It will change your life.
Now I hope we run out of baby food tomorrow so I can go back and make a whole “Pirates of Penzance” day of it.

Did you miss the Tuesday 1/25 Show?
Listen to the podcast of this fabulous show!
Author of 'Hook Line & Sink Him' Jackie Pilossoph rejoined us to ask "Do You Treat
Your Starbucks Barrista Better than Your Spouse?" Robin Mitzen, Chicao area Life Counselor who was
interviewed for the article stopped by, too.
Also, the interview with Maurice Simpson will warm your heart
(and we need that this nasty winter!)
You remember seeing Maurice on the TLC special My Brand New Face.
He has recently undergone a procedure to remove facial tumors and reconstruct
the part of his face effected by neurofibromatosis.

When Maurice Simpson was only 6 weeks old, his mother noticed his eye was slightly puffy. By the time he was 5, fleshly lumps grew so large that they obscured his eye.
"Right away I got him to the doctor and they didn't know what it was," said his mother, Brenda Simpson of Flint, Mich. "He eyelid was totally closed and it started going into his jaw."
Over the years, the tumors -- elongated tubular lesions that hang from his eye socket and nose -- grew so large that they engulfed the right side of her son's face.
Maurice was diagnosed with neurofibromatosis, a genetic condition that has devoured his face, but hasn't stopped him from living life to the fullest.

A great man once said, “If you don’t write everyday, you can’t consider yourself a serious writer.”
Was it a ‘great man’ or someone I sorta know who said that? Well, no matter. Cuz to ME, Nick the barrista at Starbucks in Franklin someone I sorta know and a great man. He’s great since he doesn’t spill or give me The Face when I order an Iced Mocha on a 10 degree morning or a LowFat Cinnamon swirl coffee cake ‘for my baby’…(whom he can clearly see is sound asleep & NOT a baby).
Thus….’ Great Man’ / ’Guy I Know Sorta’ —— Tomato/ Tomahto.
(Gets up. Notices Patrick has a lump of goo in his hair, very Something About Mary-esque. Hopes that’s not the case. Queries Maggie, 13 who’s supposed to be watching Said Toddler who informs me that it’s ‘pomade’. Said like it’s NOOOO biggie and don’t most toddlers roll around with a dollop of pomade the size of an apple in their hair? Wonders where the pomade jar missing half it’s contents is. Decides THAT doesnt’ sound fun to find and/or clean up. Resumes life at computer as Serious Writer.)
Hmmm, what was I saying?
Oh; writing. Big deal and all that….. So here’s my well written, serious writer thoughts for today.
Why do MEN think it’s a national emergency if the trash bin doesn’t get put out one day? Is this going to stink up the garage? *In 15 degree weather. Doubt it. Afraid the trash men will think you’re a slacker? *They get here within a 6 hour window so I wouldn’t exactly call THEM organized. Afraid it’s going to pile up? *We have kids, shoes, computer cords & bills piled up INSIDE so we have bigger fish to fry than our garage schematic.
Why do MEN exclaim “We HAVE NOTHING to EAT” (exclamation point, large sigh, door slam, pout) if there is not a pot roast on the stove, (able to be consumed within the next 12 minutes) or a sandwich on a plate (same criteria) in front of them.
Why is ‘the game’ always on? ”The game.” Constant rotation. “They want us to come over for the ‘the game’.” ”Are you watching ‘the game’?” ”Did you see ‘the game’?”. Tell me one second of the year ‘the game’ is not being watched and I’ll show you a dude watching Miss Universe with his wife because he went out with the guys the night before and threw up on the foyer floor.
‘Great Man’- ‘Guy I Sorta Know’
Tomato- Tomahto
‘Serious Writer’- ‘Life Noticer’
Tomato- Tomahhhhhto

Did you wake up today and feel less than svelte? I’m here to help!
As a Certified Personal Trainer (yes- that’s true), I would like to point out….
5.) Wrapping Presents Burns over 400 calories. HOW? Because it requires running from downstairs to upstairs and hunting under the kids’ beds to locate the Scotch Tape they made off with while trying to “tape our room shut so Sammy doesn’t touch our New Moon poster.”‘
4.) Baking Cookies A wonderful way to tone your legs and thighs- since 34 deep knee bends are required to retrieve the residual dough off the floor after the kids come in and try to steal the bowl and you have to shoo them away with a wooden spoon and, in your haste, send the remaining dough flying all over the kitchen.
3.) Bringing In and Decorating The Tree. Initially only 5 calories burned since all you do is point and tell your husband, “Put it there.” And then look at your kids and say, “Well, get going. Put up those ornaments!” Couple more calories burned from laughing when the tree fell over on Husband and when oldest daughter nearly fell off the step stool putting the angel on top the tree. Where this workout really becomes effective is the bend, squat and reach movement require to RE-arrange the ornaments after the girls put them all at Patrick-level and he spends all morning systematically removing them and throwing them down on the floor. Feel the burn to those calves as you strain on tippy-toes to redecorate your whole home at Above One Year Old Height.
2.) Holiday Cocktail Parties Balancing a plate full of spinach dip and teeny wieners while running back and forth to the bar can burn up to 150 calories. Taking laps around the party in high heels in an effort not to get cornered by The Party Bore can also add resistance for legs and thighs. An effective cool down is going back and forth to the bathroom for touch-ups and then “oohing” and ”ahing” over the Hostess’s tree, menorah, lovely array of Spode china and homemade rum balls.
1.) Shopping: the Boot Camp of hidden holiday workouts! Schlep through a 90 degree mall (cuz now their selling swimsuits even though it’s Dec 22nd) in a winter coat with 4 screaming kids while trying to balance a soft pretzel, 4 Old Navy bags, your cell phone, the baby’s bottle and someone’s half-consumed Icee. Then wait in the 50-family-deep line to see Santa. Easily 500 calories burned.

Aren’t those kids-bawling-on-Santa’s lap pictures like a little hug from God?
Return to the Not So Soccer Mom Show PageGeorge is motivated by light bulbs, or light bulb moments, as it turns out. He loves having them himself, but even more so, he loves watching the bulb illuminate over somebody else’s head as a result of a story, analogy, or the simplification of something very complicated which people seem to grasp when he explains it in his own sweet way. Little of what George says is completely original, but his witty and oft-comedic delivery of this information is what makes his content unique. After five minutes of talking with George, you’ll feel that you’ve known him forever. Not only that, you’ll feel that you’ve made a friend for life. Indeed, you have.

Brian Jaffe, author of Thanksgiving Tales: True Stories of the Holiday in America,

48 writers from across the United States share their individual stories and memories of Thanksgiving and provide insight into the variety of ways the holiday is experienced, celebrated, viewed and cherished by Americans. But, whether held in a country farmhouse, amid the frantic pace of New York City, or in a restaurant, there are a number of common elements. These stories reveal how seemingly simple things—like the passing of a tradition to the next generation, sitting next to Grandpa, favorite foods and recipes, or certain sounds, sights, and smells—can have special meaning and leave warm and indelible memories.

REZA KAHLILI is the pseudonym of a former Iranian Revolutionary Guard member who worked undercover as a CIA agent for several years in the ‘80s and ‘90s.
He spent an idyllic childhood in Tehran, the capital of Iran, surrounded by a close-knit upper middle-class family and two spirited boyhood friends. The Iran of his youth allowed Reza to think and act freely, and even indulge a penchant for rebellious pranks in the face of the local mullahs.
His political and personal freedoms flourished while he continued his education in America during the ’70s. He returned to Iran shortly after the Revolution eager to help rebuild his country, honestly believing that freedom and democracy would prevail and lead his country into a glorious future.
Instead of finding a new beginning for his country, he discovered a tyrannical ayatollah bent on plunging Iran into a dark age of religious fundamentalism and causing his fellow countrymen to turn on each other. Shaken to his very core after witnessing the atrocities at Evin Prison, atrocities that hit very close to home, a shattered and disillusioned Reza embarked on a mission that would change his life forever. He returned to America and emerged as “Wally", a spy for the CIA.
After the 9/11 attack, Reza Kahlili activated a handful of sources within Iran and once again contacted the CIA. He continues as an active voice for a free Iran and works toward ending the thugocracy of the mullah’s regime. He has written several articles for various media expressing his opinions and hope for a free Iran.

This Tuesday September 14th, the NotSoSoccerMom hosted exclusive interview with United
Flight 93 hero Tom Burnett's widow, Deena Burnett on her life in the last 9 years, Tom's legacy of 'doing something' and the
message from her book, "Fighting Back" --- living beyond yourself.

The ninth anniversary of 9/11 may go unnoticed by some people, but for the families who lost loved ones, it will mark the start of a year-long trek of interviews, memorials and events leading up to the 10th anniversary. Little Rock resident Deena Burnett-Bailey will be one of the latter group.
Just nine years ago she and her three daughters were living in California, waiting on Sept. 11 for her husband, Tom Burnett, 38, to come home from a business trip. She was watching television when two hijacked planes hit the World Trade Center. Tom called her and said he was on a third hijacked plane (United Flight 93), on which one passenger had already been knifed by a terrorist. He also told her to call the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
Tom called back to ask questions about the World Trade Center. Then he made a third call to tell her that passengers were trying to overtake the plane. On his fourth and final call, he told Deena the passengers were waiting until the plane was over a rural area before moving in on the hijackers. Forty passengers and crew died when the flight crashed into a Pennsylvania field.
“Much has happened since that day,” Deena said in a recent email exchange. “On Sept. 11 we were living in San Ramon, Calif., (outside of San Francisco) with our three children, Halley and Madison, 5-year-old twins, and Anna Clare, 3 years old. I moved back to southeast Arkansas in June 2002 to have my parents, Donald and Cindy Burchfield of Bauxite, and Sandra Burchfield of Little Rock help in raising the children.” Later she chose to move to Little Rock because it offered more choices in schools and activities for the children than southeast Arkansas. “When we made the decision, my parents moved to Little Rock also,” she said.
Deena has been all over the country speaking to groups about that day. She has spoken at college campuses, there have been memorial walks, she and her girls were invited to “The Oprah Winfrey Show,” and she spoke to a group at The Reagan Presidential Library. She also co-wrote a book, “Fighting Back: Living Life Beyond Ourselves.”
The History Channel will release a new documentary this month called “The Test.” Deena was one of three people selected for the documentary, but she says those things change. “I think the documentary will catapult interest in 9/11 again because it will contain information that has never been released,” she said.

Allie Grace, 11: "Mom, are you coming to my press conference? Can I borrow your microphone? How do you spell ‘conference'? Do you know how to get ahold of Matt Lauer? Mom, remember the time I..."
NotSoSoccerMom: "Why are you holding a press conference? Who kind of a hair-brain holds a press conference on their front steps?" Mutters..."Stole my idea... little copycat. I was going to hold a press conference here later about Lancome's new mascara & Cinco De Mayo Awareness."
Allie Grace: "Remember the time I vowed I'd NEVER ask for anything ever again if you got me that Rainbow Brite backpack? Well, I'm still gonna ask you for stuff... What's for dinner? Can Jane come over? But, hey LOOK at this cool new backpack. It's called an ISafe bag. Are you coming to my press conference about it?"
NotSoSoccerMom: "It's like an Ipod or an Ipad or an ITouch? Plays music, has a bunch of buttons & features I don't intend to use since I never read the directions?"
Allie Grace: "Mommm-uh, seriously! This is a patented bag with a built-in alarm. You pull this cord here if you are bullied or scared. It's like having a bodyguard with you all the time. The alarm goes off to scare away predators. Is that like a predicate? What IS for dinner? Anyway, the ISafe bags are all over the news."
NotSoSoccerMom: "Hey that is neat! Let me see how that works."
Allie Grace: "Everyone should have one. Don't you think, Mom? Can we go for ice cream? How bout pizza for dinner? Can we go to Kohl's RIGHT NOw and get new school shoes? Can I make cookies? What time is Daddy getting home? If a cow and a buffalo mate, would it be called a cowalo? Have you seen my~?"
NotSoSoccerMom grabs the backpack and pulls the cord and hopes it also scares away pre-teens with too many questions....
Who's working for ya, people? The NotSoSoccerMom bringing you this very cool safety item, which, by the way, is at a nice price.
Check out the ISafe bags at www.Isafebags.com
In the meantime, I'll keep doing my own market research on more non-traditional uses for it, like warding off messy toddlers and flatulent cats.
New hypothesis: if you add a recorder beat and maybe some maracas, you might be able to create an interesting Zumba routine?

Alex Palmer, the creative genius behind PALMER NOELLE (the other name is that of a free-spirited friend), is one busy woman who knows how to make other busy women look glamorous quickly and easily. With four kids, ranging in age from two to ten years old, it's a wonder she has any extra time at all, what with the general mayhem associated with caring for a flock of young ‘uns.
"My uniform is black and black." Palmer laughs.
But, tanks and leggings, while swell, are limited. "I throw these on," she says, pointing to the gorgeous tunics and bibs surrounding us. One could definitely do worse. Much worse.
Having been schooled in Europe, Alex began her fashion career doing production for Calvin Klein in 1991. She then took classes at F.I.T. in drawing, sewing and patterns
When Calvin rejected her as a designer (bad bad Calvin! Slap slap!), she went to Beverly Hills Polo Club, where she designed men's wear. "Everyone was wearing low-slung jeans and XXL t-shirts." She recalls. "So, how do you change it? You change it by stitching on pockets!"
However, Alex wasn't satisfied, so she answered a call from Calvin Klein Hosiery. "I wanted back into 7th Ave. hardcore. They were tight and orderly. It was very difficult work. I learned so much. It was my production experience with manufacturers at that level.
With these designers, there was no room for mistakes." In addition, she happily immersed herself into focusing on colors, trends, textures, thickness and making the brand constantly new. I think I speak for all lay folk when I express surprise about how much thought goes into making and producing hose!
Then, Palmer's life took a giant turn. She got married, moved to L.A., began working as a stylist, then fell into doing voice-over work. Along came the children. Unfortunately, the pressure on her diaphragm from the kids ended the voice-over career.
Her husband, who lived in China for three years, had expatriate friends from all over the world. One, a Brahmin who was educated in England, phoned wondering if "Steve's wife" wanted to do some designing. His family owned a manufacturing facility and wanted to break into the American market. "I was totally frightened!" Alex recalls with a laugh. Her response: "I can't do it! It's too much! It's too scary! I can't take it on!"
Luckily they persisted. They sent her a gift and large swatches of fabric with beadwork attached. "I was hooked!" She says. "I still knew how to draw and one of the most difficult things in design is to find a manufacturer!"
So, Palmer sent over sketches and the manufacturer sent back the clothing made from the sketches. She uses no American fabrics. Instead, Alex travels to S.E. Asia, Dubai and India where she has to decide immediately what she wants based on swatches and whatever beads are available. Then, she and the manufacturer communicate by Skype.
Because the manufacturer has two children, "she gets it." Says Alex. "It works. (We're) always getting interrupted by kids." And it is because they both "get it" that both make certain that absolutely no child labor is used.
The materials used for the clothing are silk, velvet, silk chiffon (that comes with underpinnings), satin and cotton. All are hand-beaded. The price range is from $350-$450. Besides the tunics are dresses, tops and even a topper jacket. The materials are so light and the designs are so versatile, they are perfect for traveling.
And, between the bold colors, the figure-friendly fit and intricate beading, they definitely make an entrance. "My own personal style is juxtaposing prim-and-proper with some sort of tough-girl. In the 90s I was obsessed with wearing a Chanel tweed jacket with jeans and Converse sneakers. It sounds clichéd now, but I loved it then."
The bibs are absolute conversation pieces. Palmer originally began making them because she fell in love with the beading and loves the look of neckpieces throughout history. "I like to imagine what I would have worn if I was running from Pompeii hours before it erupted, living in Florence during the reign of the Medici's or dancing at the court of Henry VIII," she says.
Not that she doesn't extend her fantasies to modern maids and maidens: When I see a woman in a tee shirt and jeans, I can picture her in a beaded necklace, whether she is going for a walk on Madison Avenue or walking east on Saint Mark's Place. Beaded necklaces instantly make a statement: ‘I care about what I am wearing' ... at least that's my statement."
She again addresses her love of pairing hard and soft elements: "Many of my beads juxtapose one element of pure with something a little more avant garde. I have many tulle covered beads and stones, leather flowers and rosettes."

Safe to say I didn't win Oprah's contest....
BUT~~~~ Thank you so much for the actual votes!!! The NotSoSoccerMom finished in the top 13% and received great feedback. Moreover, a heartfelt thanks to you, my readers and friends, for the Votes of Confidence!
I made some cool friends with some of the other Oprah's Next TalkShow Host entrants, too. The fabulous Kyle Collins of Atlanta and French-born Lilou Mace of Chicago (her YouTube Channel has 6million views!) came on my radio show (Listen to the 6/29/10 NotSoSoccerMom Show on Toginet.com). Also, I met Cyrus Webb of ConversationsLive. On July 28th, I will be his featured guest. http://www.blogtalkradio.com/conversationslive
I enjoyed Facebook friending and practicing my spanish with fellow Oprah Entrant Erika from Puerto Rico. And Rob, "The Cooking Dad" who has developed his on show on YouTube has offered to mentor on how to go bigger with our NotSoSoccerMom & Family talkshow vibe. Yes- my vision is to take our same crazy-family fun from the tryout video and Vlogs and keep on keeping on.
How will I do this, you ask? Why of course, by puting myself in glamorous and intriguing situations... ahem... like I always do.... cough.
Why, AT THIS VERY MOMENT, I am embedded, Sebastian Junger-like.... in and overpacked car... on a 13 hour ride....drinking gas station cappucino (I told you I'm roughing it.)
But wait- there's more:........WITH 4 kids....one of whom woke up with her eyes crusted shut and a lovely cough....two of whom are fighting over the headphones for the DVD player (Sidebar: We have 2 sets and 4 kids. You do the math: SOMEONE is stuck listening to mommy and daddy fight over the music. Daddy insists on Springsteen and Momma wil simply barf if she hears one more hard-streets-growing up in Jersey-blue collar-memories song from someone with a private plane & 6 homes... ELO's Greatest Hits,anyone?)
Then there's Patrick. Fresh off a stint sleeping in a 1970's hotel-loaner crib barred in the bathroom of a Hampton Inn off Exit I Have No Ideain TooFarFromOurDestination, Virginia, he's in his carseat alternately screaming bloody murder, throwing Teddy Grahams and pouring the milk from his sippy cup in to his own lap.
It's okay. We only have 5 hours to go...
Oh, and where are we going?
Jill
WELL OBVIOUSLY WE ARE NOT GOING TO THE EAST COAST'S LARGEST CHROME SHOP since Jerry JUST PASSED THE EXIT
....jeesh....
Dance Nationals for the girls is where we're headed. (Cue the sequins and jazz hands.) Should be good material, people. Stay Tuned!

Was the band My Chemical Romance on to something with their 2007 songTeenagers?
They said all teenagers scare the living sh*$ out of me
Before you classify the lyric as trite, you should know the album on which this song was featured was nominated for a Grammy for Best Boxed Or Special Limited Edition Package. I did not have time to research what that means exactly... (as today is the first day of Summer 2010 and my children will soon be singing the "I'm Bored" aria from the opera, "What Are We Doing Today? We Never Get To Do Anything!". To me, winning a Grammy For Best Boxed or Special Edition Package sounds like saying to a Chef, "The veal was fine, but the plates you served it on where SOOOOO pretty!" However, I'd take a Grammy for anything so I shouldn't scoff. (2011 Grammys: "And the award for Best Pretend Name of an Album and Featured Musical Piece In a Blog To Provide Humour and Poke Fun At Her Children Goes To....Jill" {crowd goes wild} )
But I digress. What's new?
Working as a Personal Trainer at the gym, I get to know lots of teens. Despite the fact that I do love My Chemical Romance's song, I am actually impressed with the kids. I had a lovely chat with Katharine from the Lacrosse team about her love of Broadway. She has seen Spring Awakening six times (!) Inspiring to see a young person with love of culture.
Ellen LISTENED in Science class; (knew the difference between adduction and abduction & supinating and pronating). Jillian makes straight A's and has her pick of Ivy League schools. Kylie has gotten the majority of her Lacrosse team in to Zumba. Juliana works full-time & LOVES working out. Jordan even came to the gym to get her workout in at 8am last week before one of her finals. Even the wrestler boys hold the door for adults. (And you know how WRESTLERS are~ situated somewhere on the Human Evolution scale between primordial ooze and Cro-Magnan Man.....((((smile and wave to my cute husband, the former wrestler)))))
Tomorrow's radio guest is Gabby Londe, who became a YouTube sensation with her simple musings and made "Where's the Chaptsick?" a household phrase for the 20 and under crowd. In my communications with her thus far she seems a very nice, comfortable-in-her-own-skin, positive person. I am looking forward to chatting with her even more now.
Sure, they drive too fast, listen to the music too loudly, text incessantly, scream OMG every two seconds... but a lot of adults that do that, too.
Teens, you might win me over yet.

Return to the Not So Soccer Mom Show Page6/15 We welcomed Debra Rubin-Roberts of MommyMakeup.com

Award-winning makeup artist and New York City Mom, Debra Rubin-Roberts, created Mommy Makeup to simplify the busy woman's daily beauty routine. She had her "light bulb moment" about a new makeup line almost immediately after giving birth. She realized she no longer had time to apply 13 individual items just to get a basic polished look. And unscrewing and screwing caps of product after product was eating up valuable time. She needed makeup that was quick and easy to apply - and if she needed it, surely other women did too! After 2 and a half years of development those 13 individual products became 6 multi-tasking products and her brainstorm MOMMY MAKEUP became a reality! Now you too can "Look Divine in Half the Time" with Mommy Makeup!Debra has over 15 years of experience as a professional makeup artist and has worked with some of the best in the cosmetic industry, including Bobbi Brown, Prescriptives , Laura Mercier, Nars, Smashbox, and Estee Lauder. Her work has been featured in various publications including The Daily News, Avenue Magazine, and Manhattan Bride Magazine. Her clients have included women (and a few men) of every ethnicity. Debra has worked on studio shoots, fashion shows (including "7th on 6th"), video and television. Her work has appeared on "60 Minutes" and "CBS Sunday Morning". You may have seen her on E! Entertainment Network and "The Maury Povich Show". In addition to being the founder of Mommy Makeup, Debra is still a working makeup artist as well, but her most favorite thing is being Jeremy's wife and Daisy & Riley's mom!

And American Idol reigning champ Kris Allen's Dad, Neil called in to chat, too.
Recall a blog entry from the recent
(I don't know how to insert music but pretend like that dreamy noise takes you back in time... woooosh woooosh, harps and stuff)
I have always felt deep down that my children would be musical prodigies. The day has come. Allie Grace is playing the recorder. FINALLY! I've only spent the last year hoping there was a good recorder program in our new town. I LIVE to go to the local music shop and plunk down $13 for that well-crafted piece of plastic that will provide us hours of beautiful music and a lifetime of memories.
Being the recorder aficionado that I am ( trained in the Suzuki method, natch), I was pleased to learn they b egan with the basic "Hot Cross Buns." I, too, have been known to tickle the plastic back in the day at Mari Sandoz Elementary. This was after my short-lived, yet sparkling, career playing the base maracas.
Leaping boldly from "Hot Cross Buns", Allie Grace progressed quickly to the more tricky pieces from the Barney Movement: "It's Raining, It's pouring", "Mary Had a Little Lamb" and "Long Legged Sailor." Of course, she killed. And then, with the foundation firmly in place, it's time for the classics; Beethoven's "Ode to Joy". Such sweeping crescendos. Such rich melodies. The way her little lips meet with the plastic and those 3 nimble fingers work the holes. Breathtaking. As my favorite ALL-TIME piece of music, I often play "Ode to Joy" (sometimes the whole movement, sometimes just the Chorale) around the house on my triangle so it's no coincidence that she excelled right off.
Tonight she came ready to impress with Claire De Lune. However, while practicing with her, as I so look forward to each eve, I noticed there was no composer listed in the Songbook. Gasp. What? It says "French Folk Song" in the book instead of Claude DeBussy.
Now JUST WHAT IF her big recorder career doesn't take off? Just say she DOESN'T get accepted into Julliard on a recorder scholarship and DOESN'T get to play the recorder ("Practice, Practice, Practice") at Carnegie Hall. Jerry and I are already saving up for a special custom made Stradivarius recorder. What if her recorder dreams don't pan out even with all the great recorder gigs out there for talented musicians? And she doesn't even know who composed Au Claire De Lune??? What if, instead of forming a famous All-Girl Four Recorder band, she ends up on Jeopardy and the $2000 Double Jeopardy Answer just happens to be "He composed Claire De Lune" and she makes it a true daily double and says, "Who is ‘French folk song'?!!!"
Here I am rocking out an air finger cymbal solo.

5/11 Jill had Cortney Novogratz of
Bravo's 9 By Design!
Find their book Downtown Chic at Amazon.com
http://amzn.com/0847831736
Sure, they may be written up in magazines, have their own reality show, be gorgeous hipsters that create eclectic spaces, but would they be able to pass this basic "I Speak Fluent Realtor" NotSoSoccerMom Vocabulary quiz?
Vocab words on left, definition on the right....
"Well-appointed"- only nice house in the neighborhood
"Great curb appeal"-inside stinks
"Potential" or "Investment"- fuggedaboutit
"Once in a lifetime opportunity" - RUN!
" move-in condition"- at least we don't THINK there's mice
" immaculate"- ugly colors and/or wallpaper inside
"mini-estate"- the taxes will kill you
" >Eat In Kitchen"- room for one barstool
They've published a the book Downtown Chic, run the successful Sixx Design firm and recently decorated the posh Jersey Shore hotel, Bungalow. But are they familiar with the Tuscan McDonald's Palette (my family room looks like catsup and mustard waged a war... and the Target rug won). Are they aware of the motif Jaclyn Smith for WalMart Meets 1988 Long Island Rec Room? Will I need to take it back to basics with them and explain why every home needs a collection fake bamboo trees? Where do they stand on TV trays and rooster statues? Do they feel that a pile of dirty diapers can be viewed as ‘art'?
Tune in tomorrow to Toginet.com at 1pm EST for the answers to these questions and MORE with the Novogratz' of Bravo's 9 By Design.
Let's see if they take want to collaborate on my new book "Christmas on a Budget: Decorate for the Holidays With Three Rolls of Duct Tape & A Box of Kleenex."

i've had several jobs. As the line from Wayne's World goes, "I have an extensive collection of nametags and hairnets." From working at Dairy Queen in high school, to starting full time radio advertising sales a few months before I graduated from college to pharmaceutical sales, trying to peddle Arbonne, becoming a certified Personal Trainer to my current post as Triscuit Afficionado &Famous Internet Author /Weblebrity (WHAT??? that's a job!).
I became a Mother 12.5 years ago. And then again 11.5 years ago. And again 8 years ago. Then I took a hiatus. Then, 17 months ago, God graced me with another Mother Moment.
It's the most hard job. I rarely get days off. I have not received a pay raise in years. Sometimes my underlings are un-coachable. But it's the BEST JOB EVER.
I get to be a psychologist, referee, milk-cow, waste-management coordinator, personal chef, dermatologist (the older ones are getting blackheads and I LOVE to clean some pores!), comedienne (trying out jokes on the kids. They laugh even when I'm not funny.), hair-stylist, decorator, maid, grammar coach, personal shopper, nurse, dentist, cheerleader, friend, spiritual guide, mentor, Life Coach, laundress & warden.
A prayer for all Mothers (or people who ‘mother'):
May all Mother's find joy in their children. May God guide them in guiding the next generation back to the small niceties~ hold a door, help an older person, let someone in in traffic.
The Lord Hear Our Prayer!
I would not be the "NotSoSoccerMom" without these four little people. I am honored to be their mom. I am honored to be the wife of their dad.
"Jill, why so serious? What, are you hormonal? Was Sephora sold out of airbrush makeup systems? Did you watch ‘UP!' again? Did the deli run out of Diet Dr. Pepper?"

This Tuesday, I welcomed multiple marathon veteran Alice Stewart. In addition to her passion for running, Alice is an Emmy Award-winning journalist and national political commentator who has appeared on Fox News, CNN, and MSNBC. She is a frequent contributor to the Fox Forum and works as a media consultant for numerous conservative groups and was an advisor during the 2008 presidential campaign.
Here's Alice helping to train Governor Mike Huckabee in 2006

Also, Dancing With Stars re-cap, my Ramona from NY Real Housewives rant and a visit from Captain TimeManagement~ aka my sweet husband Jerry on HIS Boston Marathon run...
He can run pretty fast but it takes 35 minutes to get through the security checkpoint...go figure...
Captain TimeManagement pictured below during his second full marathon in 2002. This Monday's Boston running will be his 16th.

Oooops, I forgot to call city hall and bawl them out, which was Part B of my plan, (Part A being the blog and all it's common sense math) because Clinique has a new bronzer out and I had to be at Macy's by 10:15am today.
Anyways, as if my shocking expose of MudSlideGate was not enough, Jerry Fought City Hall and He Won this morning. He got them to turn over a parking ticket since the space was not well-marked...and since he was the only person in there who was not a total loser on DUI, drug possession or possession of absolutely NO BRAINS charges.
Thus, I am feeling more inspired than ever to invoke my Ally McBeal sensibilites and take on a new issue.
It's time to confront the elephant in the room....
I, Jill, am naming myself as Plaintiff Vs One Defendant Conan O'Brien, Millionaire with Coin to Spare, in the landmark frivolous lawsuit entitled You Might Be My BabyDaddy, Even If We've Never Met. The Plaintiff is suing the Defendant for an unspecified amount of LOTS of money and/or a job as a writer and bit player on his new show. The Plaintiff points our eery similarities between her baby son Patrick and Mr. O'Brien including, but not limited to, red fluffy hair, ghastly white Irish skin, blue eyes, the ability to entertain & a mild toothbrush fetish. At the crux of this case is Mr. O'Brien's whereabouts 3/17/08, commonly known as St. Patrick's Day. I, Jill, contend that since Mr. O'Brien and I are both Irish and neither one of us probably remember the events of 3/17/08, that there is probable cause that he could be my BabyDaddy, Even Though We've Never Met.
I'm going to use my settlement money to rent some shovels and clean up the Mudslide myself so the road in my town can re-open.
In the meantime, Coco, call me. Let's talk about the details of me on your new show. I'm thinking a NotSoSoccerMom and Family musical number, complete with triangles, maracas and a glockenspiel.

My beauty and skincare knowledge, while extensive, is just my opinion, cultivated by several years of hunting. So, if I say, "that didn't work for me", that is not to say it might not be fab on you.... It's just that MY expectations were to look EXACTLY like a blonde Cindy Crawford 2 minutes post-use.
So, while I could type of the equivalent of War & Peace right now, let's take it slow and start with some of the bigger beauty buzzwords and trends lately like....
A mineral makeup is simply a foundation or ‘base' that is formulated into very fine particles and made of minerals. Of course Bare Minerals was the first to really go big (that Leslie woman is a marketing genius) but every company, from Wet-n-Wild to Laura Mercier makes one these days. Mineral makeups can be worn by anyone, but are best suited for people with sensitive and/or normal to oily skin. I personally have DRY skin and I have tried upwards of 35 companies's minerals. True! They are different than a powder foundation in that they have more coverage and can, if skin is prepped correctly, be very great on people with even dry sin.
MMU's can be applied with a chisel or flat brush, kabuki or loose powder brush, for MOST to LEAST coverage (in that order).
Chisel or Flat brush. www.purminerals.com
Purminerals is also available in some Dillards now and at Ulta.com
Kabuki brush are the short, stubby ones. This one gets great reviews. www.CatCosmetics.com Bobbi Brown makes a glorious one, too.
The Bare Minerals kit comes with a loose or powder brush. Remember a loose brush is going to give you less coverage.
~~~~Let me take a minute to discuss Bare Minerals specifically since they are the biggest, most publicized mineral makeup on the block. The kit was the thing that really made this great. Notice most things do come in kits these days, from the Chaz Dean Wen Haircare to Philosophy's microdermabrasion? The BM kit comes with 2 powder foundations (of 2 closely related but different shades), a Mineral Veil (a setting powder) and their bronzer called Warmth (which REALLY does rule. It reminds me of the Rubiglo clay pot back in the day. I feel everyone could wear this shade Warmth).
Bare Minerals kits are the #1 selling SKU at Sephoras. Probably cuz so many women have seen this on tv and think: "What, I can get customizable coverage that is hydrating and GOOD for my skin with a powder?" I have never been in a Sephora when someone didn't come in and ask the consultants about it. Literally. Bare Minerals for me was not great becausee I am a MORE IS MORE person and when I went for one more layer, this one made my pores look big. Luckily, they figured this out and have now formulated Bare Minerals Matte formulation which is quite good.
Mineral Makeup is a great concept but is a trial and error deal. Some of my favorites over the years include:
* Lancome's: this is new. It is finely milled (meaning tiny tiny flecks instead of clumps), has a great color palette, lovely coverage. It is neither shiny (think "Luminous finish" or Matte).
* SheerCover: Leeza Gibbons and her cute hair. This kit is avail on TV and in Bed, Bath & Beyond. You can pick what shade choices- Lt/Med or Med/ Dark. Most people are Lt/Med. Inside is 3 different actual tubs of the mineral foundation in slightly different shade choices. Also inside is the world's best concealer (OR... the best one that works for me). The brushes aren't great but who cares. It no longer comes with it's version of Warmth (remember that's Bare Mineral's Bronzer) and that stinks cuz it was really pretty.
* Laura Mercier: Found now in all big dept stores and Sephora. Good color choices, good product.
* PurMinerals: a pressed mineral makeup. Again, in a kit. Comes with the chisel brush.
* Jane Iredale: you see this one in lots of plastic surgeons offices. This is wise of the plastics folks to recommend a mineral makeup for people who are post-op on face procedures. She has the MOST extensive color palette of them all. She also has a rocking- I mean it is opaque- could probably cover a tatoo - concealer. This is pricey. If you buy any of Jane Iredale's things from a medi-spa or Dr.'s office, there's a good chance you can't take it back so try it on there, wear it home and then come back for it. Sometimes they have teensy sample pots you can buy. Ask!
Most Mineral makeups are sold in a kit. Most are sold with a ‘finishing' veil dust or powder to emmulate the first-to-market which was Mineral Veil by, you guessed it, Bare Minerals, The finishing veil does help to set. Doesn't seem like it would help adding a layer of powder to a layer of powder but ~ it does. Bare Minerals even sells hydrating & tinted version of Mineral Veil. Most have a brush. Sometimes the brushes are a good find, sometimes not. The way to tell if a brush is worth anything is if it sheds and, in my opinion, if it becomes more soft and supple after washing it. My Bobbi Kabuki and Trish McEvoy bronzer brush do.
Finally: application: I cannot stress enough: START AT THE OUTSIDE. You do want to dunk whatever brush you chose into the product and then blow some off or as they say in the infomercial "Swirl, Tap and Buff". Then starting at the outside of your cheeks work your way in using small circular motions. Remember, the type of brush will alter the application so if you are 14 with beautiful skin, maybe use the large powder brush. If you are like me and need to cancel out years of sun damage (my mom is SOOO dead for not making me wear more sunscreen), I prefer the chisel brush.
What about the pressed minerals? Like PurMinerals? -- the exact same, just formulated in pressed form and thus, less of a mess.
I am now taking questions on this or any other beauty related topics. I figure if you've read down this far, you MUST be as interested as me in all these groovy things!
Send any questions in!!!!

President Obama, taking a day off from stumping for the Democrat's Universal Healthcare Bill, appointed not one, but an entire team of Beauty Czars on Monday October 5th. Here he is with Clinique Associates discussing proper application, distribution and taxing of the company's iconic Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion.

I'm mad Nancy already got Botox Czar,,,,
Return to the Not So Soccer Mom Show PageWe here at the news desk of NotSoSoccerMom.com can confirm that there will be a press conference held at Noon Eastern Standard time by PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) to announce a major lawsuitagainst US Airways and Captain "Sully" Sullenbarger on behalf of the flock of birds killed by the planes engines in the now historic Miracle on the Hudson plane landing two weeks ago. Fresh off the heels of their class action lawsuit against Taco Bell (YUM Foods) for ‘gross stereotyping of Chihuahuas and, moreover, all dogs of non-Caucasian origin', PETA will employ several lawyers from the ACLU to represent the family and loved ones of each bird maimed by the plane's cruel engine.
This suit comes at a nice time for the ACLU since it had just announced major cut-backs. This will give them something to do until the next major election. PETA Spokesperson Ben A. Loon will speak more at the press conference but did offer NotSoSoccerMom.com this exclusive info: "We cannot condone the saving of 154 human lives in exchange for the bloody death of 13 birds. We feel this was purposeful on the part of CaptainSullenbarger and hold him and his crew and the entire corporation of US Airways at fault. Additionally, we think George W. Bush might have had a hand in this."

Hi, I'm Allie Grace and cooking in my total passion (today). Yesterday I was a runner. Last week I was a painter.
Daddy got me a Paula Deen Kids' Cookbook for Christmas and I am rockin it.
Much like I rock all things.... 
I'm here to talk to you today about new service that I want to provide your family: Personal Chef. I'll come to your home and cook the meals. Think of the convenience, fun, AND... you can pay me in Cheetos, since times are tough.
Why, JUST yesterday, I made these cookies: 
And then, for breakfast this morning, I found a recipe for a "strata". I had to improvise some of the ingredients....
Hi, It's me again. Allie Grace wandered off because the Brady Bunch episode where Jan wants to be better than Marsha was on and she decided to be a baton twirler. She's so over cooking now...Baton twirling is her life.
Anyways, I thought why not continue on with her entrepreneurial idea?!
However, I'm going to use AG's Fabulous Moist-Free Cookies & Ketchup-n-Ham-n-Cheese Vomit Strata a little differently....

"Have you seen my Uggs? Yes, they are right by the 305 cords and chargers we brought for the 20+ small devices we travel with to provide us entertainment and information. I'll bring them over after I use the community toothbrush...Hey, after we're done watching one more YouTube clip, posting another blog & singing to our Ipods to ‘Fireflies', maybe we should sit down and visit with the people we came 1250 miles to see? " :)
(my mom's totally thinking of taking my new computer away.... As Charlton Heston said:"Out of my cold dead hands...")

Today is the launch of the NotSoSoccerMom Hour on Toginet.com radio! In true NotSoSoccerMom fashion, I have already extrapolated this (great) opportunity out to a future fairytaleland where I am the new Oprah and wake up looking like Cindy Crawford's cuter, younger, blond sister.
Most people want to be famous for money or notoriety. The perks that interest me are....
* A Personal Assistant/ Yes-Man: "That is a pretty pink lipgloss you are wearing today, Ms. Jill. Tres fab!" , "I definitely think you should wear your black hat on Jimmy Fallon. People don't get the dirty black hat thing? They are soooo jealous of you, Ms. Jill", "Yes, Ms. Jill, I would take GREAT joy in getting you a third Iced White Mocha today. No, I think they are pretty calorie-free. I read that somewhere...."
*Creative Control: When the feature film "NotSoSoccerMom: The Movie" is being cast, I'll pick able to choose who plays me, a toss-up between the always plucky, living-doll Kristin Chenoweth
or the more serious Elizabeth Mitchell from the Santa Clause 3.
I like them both.....
Unfortunately--and probably because I will have stayed out till 3am the night before with the Merchant Ivory boys discussing a ‘Sound Of Music' follow-up project starring Allie Grace as a grown Gretl, I might be cranky the day we cast --and the person who is bothering and demotivating me lately will be played by=====
Kathy Bates.
I'm sure there are more reasons but I got to daydreaming trying to decide whether to do tuna tar-tar (over?) or lamb pot stickers with a spicy mint chutney at the Book Launch Party atop the Hotel Gansevoort in NYC.
Oh- and cuz I had to go change Patrick's diaper......
PLEASE tune in for the NotSoSoccerMom hour Toginet.com. Callers are appreciated & will never be made fun of (unless they disparage Cream-Cheese based appetizers).
We'll have a BLAST talking about the really important stuff:
*Does Bobbi Brown have a copyright infringement lawsuit against Laura Mercier for copying for iconic Shimmerbrick and calling it a Shimmerbloc?
*Is Harry Reid KIDDING????????
* Who has a harder job; Tiger Wood's publicist or Kim Kardashian's Spanx?
*Does anyone ask more questions than Allie Grace? "Do they? Do they? Do they? Can I? Can I? Can I?"
*When will I ever find the time to film my fledgling Fitness Video- "Bitching About Taxes: The Aerobic Workout!" ???
