learning new things
I’d missed The Apprentice last week, which is a good thing because apparently they dressed up as clowns and I hate clowns. (and butterflies and wind chimes too) Come on, clowns were scary even before Stephen King’s It.
Anyway, thanks to this week’s Apprentice, I learned a new term — MILF — Mother I’d like to Fool around with. Well, I have a feeling it’s a mother I’d like to f***, but they couldn’t say that on TV. I’d like to be a MILF myself, but sadly, I think it might be a problem, as it probably would involve me getting out of pajamas more often and requires make-up and things like that. And what’s a good romance writer without a comfy pair of pjs, hair thrown up in a ponytail, typing so madly that she forgets all sense of place and time, stopping only to grab some chocolate for sustenance?
I mean, I just don’t know how sexy someone would find that. Apparently it does something for the husband, since he’s still around, but does it increase my status as a MILF? No way.
Okay — my day from hell is over and I’m done being cranky. I have a raging migraine, but that’s par for the course. Things will be fine once I take my pills, which have a side effect that reads: May cause a heightened, false sense of well-being.
I’ll bet whatever I write today will be excellent.

Steph, my daughter is terrified of clowns, especially after watching “It”, (talk about a stupid ending!)
I had a mother who preached, “always look your best” So, no pajama’s, or no make-up here.

My daughter gets migraines, and her meds do the same thing. When she takes them, she thinks she’s the best thing since sliced bread …
Hope the pain goes away!

While reading this I had an image of Kathleen Turner at the beginning of Romancing the Stone!
But right now I’ll never pass the MILF, since I don’t even fill the bill of the first part. Guess they want actual mothers, right?

LOL Jerri - You qualify as a MILF!
Cece - sweats count as glorified pj’s and probably do cancel us out of MILF status.
And LOL, Teresa! And OMG - Romancing the Stone is one of my all-time favorite movies!
Jill - your daughter and I would be scary together

I usually spend the morning in pj’s and my “scary face”, then eventually break down and dress and put my face on. Can’t scare all the other little kids when I pick my son up from school!
MILF, huh? We’ve got workshops for POV and query letters, anybody know where I can find a MILF workshop? *g*
