Hello Friday: Fierce Thoughts
Click on this cover pic to see the Essence feature on 32 CANDLES!
Big congrats to our last T-shirt winner of the week, Nina Feldman. Now, if you want a t-shirt, then you definitely want to pre-order a book NOW. We’re only giving away six more t-shirts before June 22nd, so if you want to get entered to win. Pre-order the book and let me know that you did.
That all reminded, here are my thoughts for our Fierce and Nerdy week:
Moms, how did you decide it was time to have a baby? One of our bloggers could use your advice. Click on the pic for the full article!
1. It’s funny that Josh believes that women are more attuned to a baby’s cries and men turn a deaf ear. Tell that to my poor husband, who had to shake me awake in the middle of the night to give a wailing Betty sustenance more than once during her breastfeeding months. Mama sleeps like a log!
2. Have you filled out your THEN and NOW submission yet? If not, go HERE to do so. We’re not only making a donation to FFAWN for every submission we get, but we’re also giving away t-shirts to the first 20 people that tell us their THEN and NOW story.
3. Thinking about getting the new iPhone, read Justin Case’s rundown and preview first! Spoiler Alert: You’re DEFINITELY going to want the iPhone 4.
4. I downloaded THE PARTICULAR SADNESS OF LEMON CAKE as soon as I read Amy’s review. Can’t wait to listen to it!
5. Michael, I used to be in love with my Kindle, too, but the iPad stole my heart, now it’s totally my ex-boyfriend.
It's not just Josh who believes that babies wake women but not men. It's science!

Yeah, I've heard that, and I'm still not sure why I sometimes don't hear Betty crying. Maybe I'm not as evolved, or maybe much like Betty, I'm just a really good sleeper. I got in trouble once during a middle of the night fire drill during my time at Cornell's Summer College Program for High Schoolers. My roommate was visiting her parents for the weekend and I slept through both the alarm and the counselors pounding on my door. When I sleep, I really sleep!

Or… She's a man, baby! Mo always has to wake me up when it's my turn – I just don't hear him cry when I'm asleep.
Wow, you've been sitting on that Austin Powers line for a while now, haven't you. I could hear the utter glee in your writing.
