Where has that damn Robin Leach put himself? I need him (snaps fingers) pronto and yes! I am rolling the "r" in "pronto".
Why, you ask, do I need Mr. Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous? A show, I might add, that my parents were once on. Indeed they were having dinner at Ma Maison, which if you are hip to your worthless 80's trivia you will know was a very posh and private and twee restaurant and it was in fact so posh and private and twee that they had an unlisted phone number, and really, having that innocent meal caught on tape was one of the more humiliating moments of my father's life and most likely a highlight of my mother's...but, I digress. My need for The Leach stems from a pretty little offer to discuss the writing of and the telling of glamorous lifestyles.
Hello, My name is Kristin and I feel over my head.
I want to sit down and bang out a fascinating and funny article on "Lifestyles" but 2 things keep coming to mind: The condom brand and I don't have one. Shut up. A lifestyle. I don't have a lifestyle.
But, maybe by tomorrow morning I will be able to fake it.

If I give him the link to this blog, you'll see many entries mysteriously disappear... including this one... these people are, gulp, are part of the school family.

Great blog, just found you through My Life in the Kid Zoo. Thanks for the laugh.
"a pretty little offer to discuss the writing of and the telling of glamorous lifestyles"
Hey, Congrats! Is this the newspaper column you talked about? Or something else? Fantastic.
Lisa
I'd work the condom angle. So much more interesting. ;)
Details...need more details...is this the newspaper column, or something different?
Like the old saying goes, "fake it 'til you make it!" Congrats on the column. Looking forward to hearing more.
Congrats Kristin!!!!!
You can maybe show them the glamorous side of blogging???
The laptop, a glass of champagne, the caviar on the side...
and a hot tub sans dog poo...
Wasn't Robin Leach's monicker Chapagne Wishes and Caviar Dreams...
Dahhhliiinkkk... work it girlll!!!!
And here I thought trojans were the condoms of the rich and famous ... see what I know ? nuffin lol
Let me share some of Mom's great advice ...
Fake it till you make it :)
Sure you have a lifestyles. It's the kind of lifestyle where you are running 50,000 miles per minute without enough coffee in order to smash the new bathroom tile three times, decorate an entire Ritz Carlton Ballroom in black and white for $800 bucks or less and only occassionally do you get to pause for toddler twirling.
oh heck - and I was sitting here in the rain hoping from the post title that you were commiserating
Kristin - Hush and write. Get drunk and blow off the steam if you need to.
You'll be fine.
Hi All-
Thanks for being so positive... I am chanting, "fake it"...
This is actually a different thing... I will give you the details (here in the comments section) when I get back from my meeting! AHHHHH... MEETING!!!
Sorry sweetie, you lost me at condom. ;)
I wish you all the best, and I'm waiting on baited breath to hear (see) details! WOOT!
My mantra has always been: fake it. I pretend that I very confidently know what I'm doing and so far, it's worked without fail.
Congrats and good luck Kristin!
lol! thanks for the heads up if it disappears!
Go get 'em tiger!
It's allll about attitude.
So I take it this is another job offer? Congrats! I think you can pull off just about anything...I doubt you will even HAVE to fake it!
Hmmm...
That's a little cyptic, Kristin (Cryptic Kristin?), but it sounds interesting. Who knew your innocent foray into the blogosphere would lead to job offers?
Joannah,
The other "Kristin" is of Tall n' Lucky... she is an amazing writer and mother of the very cute Nolan... she is on my blogroll and I highly reccomend giving her a read!
I know, it looks as though I am posting memos to myself!
& in other news... wow. It was an interview... for a real person job. I have a lot to think about and to ponder and probably to ask advice over, but not right now... my head is just swimming.
ANother one? You got another one. You are so cool. You'll be fine. Just breath. Drink heavily. And then write.
I think the condom connection is pretty funny and might get the attention of readers if it was put in the first line.
Way to go....work it girl, they won't know.
Congrats! I hope the interview goes well.
Kristin - you're killin me. I'm excited and I didn't get the job offer!
SHARE!
I have a messy, moody and stressed out with no time to do what I want kind of lifestyle lol. The kind where I always forget to take something out of the freezer for dinner. LOL. You're a mom too so I'm sure yours must be something like that? Please tell me I'm not alone! LOL.
wow, coolness. I always knew you were that glam! can't wait for more details!
Oh, how awesome! talk about someone deserving something. I'm so stoked for you, sister.
:)
p.s. yeah. I would totally be deleting more than a few posts on my blog if I had to identify myself as having written them. it makes me sad to confess to that, but there it be. sigh.
Ooh, sounds fun, actually!
Not too sure about your future audience with your lack of details at the moment. Probably best not to use "condom" and "fake it" together, though.
yes it is a small world , and the internet can be something amazing, and wonderful and also ugly.
when it rains it pours-job offers reminds me of someone
You mean a job that you actually LIKE? Is there such a thing??
=o) Congrats hun!!
Holy shit, I must read on . . . look what happens when I'm away!
