Obama’s a Better Parent Than I Am, Too . . .
Posted on March 15th, 2009 by Lauren Mayer
I just read yet another gushing article about the new first family, where Barack & Michelle explained that they didn’t want their daughters to become spoiled, so they would continue the same rules they’d had in Chicago.
The girls had to make their own beds, they’d be cleaning up after the dog about to join them, and they’d stick to their usual morning routine, where both girls set their alarms, woke themselves up and got ready for school on their own (presumably cooking their own organic hot cereal and ironing their own impeccable private school uniforms). And of course television watching and junk food would be strictly limited.
Great - both Obamas already make me feel like an unintelligent failure with no fashion sense. Now I find out they’re infinitely superior as parents, too. How many of us even know a 7-year-old who can figure out how to set an alarm, get herself up and dressed, all without help? My kids are old enough to dress themselves, of course, but like most normal kids, they need a bit of nudging along the way.

Top Five Ways to Desire Sex Again
Posted on March 11th, 2009 by Trina_Read
A lack of sexual desire (the thoughts you have around sex) is the number one reason couples in North America stop having sex.
What that means for you is: if you have negative thoughts towards sex before, during and after the sexual encounter, it will profoundly dampen your desire to have sex.
I call it the “oh crap” phenomenon—“Oh crap, do I have to have sex tonight”, or “Oh crap, you want sex now! Can’t you see I’m exhausted?”
To get back your sexual desire, you need to start having positive thoughts towards sex. Think about something that is an indulgence—a bath, a professional massage, reading a book uninterrupted for an hour. You look forward to these times because it’s all about you and is a nurturing space.
This is how you should feel when going into the sexual experience—it’s all about you, and your needs, wants and desires do matter and will be attended to.

Hi there,
WorkingMomLifeline has entered a contest to win the chance to meet with potential venture capital investors. Phase two of our business plan requires outside funding, so this would really be helpful for us.
The only way to get this opportunity is to get votes, lots of votes…and a positive rating that’s part of the contest star-rating system.
So, please go to http://www.startupnation.com/elevator-pitch-2009/contestant/5347/index.php
This contest only has nine more days left to vote - people can vote once per day. Run, don’t walk and click, click, click away. Click on the last star to the right, directly under the videoscreen-capture (yes, I know I look like an ugly guppy with my eyes closed) image.
We’re eternally grateful! We’d grovel, except that’s so not our style.
Thanks!

If Jessica Simpson is fat, what does that make me?
Posted on March 10th, 2009 by Lauren Mayer
The tabloids and entertainment magazines are filled with the recent brouhaha over Jessica Simpson’s figure.
Apparently, she was photographed in a couple of not-so-flattering outfits, and after she read some unkind comments about her weight gain, Ms. Simpson blogged and blurted her way to several cover articles, detailing how hurt she was, and how she was comfortable with her womanly curves; several other celebrities offered support, including Jessica’s lip-synching sister Ashlee.
On the one hand, I love the fact that a tabloid darling is resisting the pressure to be a size 0; on the other hand, this is the same bubblehead who gave umpteen interviews about the workout regime she used to get into short shorts to play Daisy Duke, and honey, if you became famous largely because of your body, it’s a bit hard to complain that people are judging you based on what you look like.
