If she wants to get pinched she has to wear, like, all pink on St. Patty's Day. Hint: Bend over just a little, with a faint smile on.

The host of that show used to be a famous Canadian VJ on the Canadian version of MTV (MuchMUsic) but mommyhood melted her brain. Sad, but it happens to all of us..just not always that public. Congrats on the wee one. Oh! that show stinks!

These are the same ladies who sit around discussing what they think heaven is going to be like.

Some suggestions that don’t require much brain power- Flip this house (A&E), Felicity (WE), What Not to Wear (TLC - this show will make you feel good about yourself no matter what you are wearing!), any Bravo “marathons” of old episodes of Top Chef or Project Runway, Ellen, and Gilmore Girls (ABC Family). Some suggestions that will make you feel good about yourself as the people on them are extremely wacked out – Dr 90210 (E!), Super Sweet 16 (MTV), and The Real Housewives of Orange County (Bravo). Don’t watch any shows about traveling to exotic places, elaborate craft/home improvement shows (ala Martha Stewart Living), or cooking shows as you will become depressed that you aren’t going to do any of those things for a while. Another thing that was a lifesaver for me in the middle of the night was the streaming video on abc.com and nbc.com and well as video podcasts. You can watch all sorts of stuff on you laptop in the middle of the night with headphones. Finally try to get out of the house with the baby after he is 2-3 weeks old. Even if you’re not a “mall person”, the San Francisco Center is a pretty good place to take a baby since it is indoors and the Nordstrom has an amazing mother’s room for nursing.
