Bits and Bobs

• Just listened to the fabulous Jen Lancaster being interviewed on NPR. She is awesome and also wanted to marry Alex P. Keaton when she was younger, so clearly we would have been friends in 7th grade. If you haven't read her latest memoir, Pretty in Plaid: A Life, A Witch and A Wardrobe, or, the Wonder Years Before the Condescending,Egomaniacal, Self-Centered Smart Ass Phase , you need to buy it. It is hilarious, especially the parts about sorority rush. I literally laughed out loud while reading it. She's doing a book signing here in town today, at the Barnes & Noble, 1441 W. Webster Ave. at 7:30 PM. I would love to go, but am not sure I could convince Mr. TC to handle bed/bath time solo so that I could go be a fan girl.



• Kayce Hughes is giving away the most adorable anchor shirts. If you have two girls, this would be just the thing. To use one of M's favorite phrases, "look, see":



• Bird Dog Bay, a longtime TCP fave, now has boys ties! How old you think a boy must be to wear his first tie?? I know mine are probably too little still...but a girl can plan ahead, can't she?


• Have you seen Monogram Momma's latest designs for SWAG?? Oh. My. Gawd. I love them all.

I've ordered these shirts in the past, both as gifts and for myself/my boys. The quality is fantastic, and of course, the customer service cannot be beat. My only dilemma is which design to order...
