I feel honor-bound to have a private relationship with my children. And that's not a judgment about anybody else and what they choose. And that's the beauty of living in a democracy, right?

Every once in awhile, a girl has to indulge herself.

Someone once told me that children are like heroin. You always want more. Yet first-borns are special because you'll never have your first child again.

For the last ten years or more, I've really been making shopping decisions based on, "Is that what I want to wear forever?" I tend to not have these quick one - night stands or affairs with fashion, because it never suits me anyway. I tend to shop, specifically with heels or shoes, for things that I think, "Yeah, this is a long - term relationship.".

When a relationship dies do we ever really give up the ghost or are we forever haunted by the spirits of relationships past?

Can you make a mistake and miss your fate?

I do wait in line, and I do take the subway, and I do my own grocery shopping, and I do take the kids to school. But it almost doesn't matter to a certain segment of the populace.
