What a RoosterT rockin good time!
Had an absolute blast getting to headline a mom show at RoosterT Feathers in CA. First of all, I love comedian Jeff Applebaum, who recently appeared on Late Late Night So refreshing to work with a clean dad comic. Plus, he's hilarious. Second, thank you Cheryl for digging out the YMCA song when my disc …
The new annual workout!
Okay so I'm in the Land of Apple, Cupertino, CA. The hotel cringed when I said I was going to take a walk. Now I know why-forget cross-training! Try cross-walking! Here's how it works. Start crossing with a brisk walk, then RUN for your life as the timer counts 9 seconds to your sudden death. …
Heading to San Francisco
Leaving to do an hour show for Moms Are Talking TV. Very excited! Hoping we pull in a great audience and that HD doesn't show EVERYTHING.

Show me the Money
This just in: The actual photo. As you can tell, my kids were totally impressed.
Oh, it was paradise alright
Let me just start by saying I've loved Eddie Money ever since I wore my hair in a dorsal fin. I almost cried when I missed him performing with Loverboy at a casino, okay. Getting to meet him super-hyped my dork genes. He was experiencing a slight wardrobe malfunction - a tag digging into his …
Got me two tickets to paradise!
Except paradise is the Tillamook County Fair. Like I care! Eddie Money is performing tonight. My bud Maria and I sat on her sofa yesterday weeding through memories of Rick Springfield and Loverboy until the Eddie Money awesomeness punched through! I'm psyched that I'll be surrounded by cows - it will only make me look …
