As a child, my number one best friend was the librarian in my grade school. I actually believed all those books belonged to her.

Cats invented self-esteem.

A friend doesn't go on a diet because you are fat.

My idea of housework is to sweep the room with a glance.

Given another shot at life, I would seize every minute...look at it and really see it... live it...and never give it back. Stop sweating the small stuff. Don't worry about who doesn't like you, who has more, or who's doing what. Instead, let's cherish the relationships we have with those who do love us.

When my kids become wild and unruly, I use a nice, safe playpen. When they're finished, I climb out.

My son would walk to the refrigerator-freezer and fling both doors open and stand there until the hairs in his nose iced up. After surveying $200 worth of food in varying shapes and forms, he would declare loudly, 'There's nothing to eat!'
