Goal training is important. If there's a 5K walk in the community, train for that.

I like to work. The self-esteem and satisfaction that I get from working makes me a better person, which makes me a better mom.

Richard doesn't really like me to kill bugs, but sometimes I can't help it.

I think women see me on the cover of magazines and think I never have a pimple or bags under my eyes. You have to realize that's after two hours of hair and makeup, plus retouching. Even I don't wake up looking like Cindy Crawford.

Fashion is social commentary, but to me, it's the whimsy of it and how women and men use clothes to express themselves. It should be fun and when it stops being fun, that's when I put my jeans and my T-shirt on and then that's your uniform.

But some people don't appreciate my bossiness.

Being a nice girl from the Mid-West, my inclination is always to give in and say yes because I want people to like me.
