Afternoon Celeb Gossip on the 10s! She's been a bad, bad blogger

Who's that alleged health nut stalking out of McDonalds this morning? Could it be the Good Girl of Blogging being Oh-So-Bad?

Indeed it is. Independent sources confirm that celeb-wannabe blogger Julie Pippert of Using My Words was seen clutching a non-diet soda and a bag containing not one but two Bacon, Egg and Cheese McGriddles plus hash browns!

Todd Talmadge, morning shift manager at the Space City McDonalds, confirmed that the blogger formerly known as the Ravin' Picture Maven purchased two McGriddles and a full calorie Coca-Cola.

"She always asks for Pepsi products like we're some sort of low class joint, KFC or something. Sometimes she gets the Deluxe breakfast---that's the hotcakes, sausage, egg and hash brown---but usually she gets the McGriddles. She always wants extra ketchup. I think she puts some on her eggs," Talmadge said, grimacing in disgust.

Blogger Pippert smiled for the cameras as she exited the local fast food restaurant. When asked about the food, she tried to claim it was for a friend, but refused to name this alleged "friend."

She was wearing low rise skinny jeans and a tiny white tank. How long until that McGriddle-Muffin top hangs over her braided belt? And Julie, call Stacy and Clinton about that hair. We're pretty sure lime green bandannas went out of style with The Bangles. (For those of you under 80, The Bangles were an all-girl power-pop group headed up by Susanna Hoffs. Popular in the early and mid-80s, they capitalized on the success of The Go-Gos.)

Very funny!! You know, I probably should have done mine about myself rather than the twins, but I don't do anything tabloid worthy - at least not any more.

So funny! This is one of my favourites of yours, I think. Who knew you were the Good Girl of Blogging??

Looks like you got caught by the pop-a-lotzie. I guess that's the price of celeb-wannbe fame.

You guys know who I am totally taunting on here besides myself?

Amy Winehouse, who made countless Web sites, blogs, and newspapers for being caught leaving McDonalds with GASP! (shock and horror) a bag of junky fast food.

To do this I sought out Perez Hilton and other gossip rags (that I don't normally read...I SWEAR) and was so struck by the Amy Winehouse thing.

I mean ONLY TODAY I for real drove through Wendy's drive-through to get Persistence some of those orange wedges (because she was STAHVING!)(and could not make it home!).

What if the Papparazzi gave a rat's rear about me?

Would I be reported, some sleazy shot as I---make-up free, hair sloppily clipped behind my ears---rummaged through my ashtray of change for $1.07?

I mean, they must laugh. Right? So ridiculous?

Ha. This was good. Of course, that just goes to show you that I: a) love the celebrity gossip and b) have the attention span of a gnat.

BTW, if the photogs did care about you, they'd probably spot you your meal cost in exchange for a clean shot.

Hell, I don't even know who Amy Winehouse is, that's how much I care about pop culture these days. But Susanna Hoffs, that's another matter altogether. Did you ever see her truly abysmal feature film, The Allnighter? Oh my.

'Whatever' is not an actual salary and it really doesn't buy the groceries, either

Teaching my girls how to pull the rope for themselves. It was a pretty innocuous mother's club meeting, and we were talking about babysitters. I don't even recall why it came up, the talk about babysitters. Conversation unrolls so organically in these meetings, these times we get together, without children, and get to just talk. But sitters came up in conversation and the turn of that conversation surprised me. Greatly. Apparently around here it's bad manners to quote an hourly rate for one's babysitting services. "You know what gets me?" a mom said, "You know what sitters I prefer? Who I pay the most to? The ones who say 'oh just pay me whatever.'" She went on to explain that (and this is my paraphrase not her exact statement) to her, it came across as very forward, rude even, when these sitters said they charged X dollars per hour. My mind rolled that concept around for a minute: it's cheeky and rude to state upfront how much you charg...

Restaurant Trauma in Texas: How eating out prompted a really uncomfortable lesson about culture

WARNING: This is NOT a family-friendly post, aka the warning I WISH I'd gotten yesterday before I walked in. Yesterday was a Holiday. I hope you heard the scare quotes around that. Yeah, when you are an adult here is how holidays work: you, same workload as always, kids WOO HOO NO SCHOOL FREEDOM. Do the equation. The result is the day I had yesterday. If math isn't your strong suit I'm pretty sure you can still add that up but just in case let's say the highlight of the afternoon included me dumping out the mismatched sock basket and telling the children to have at it, in a way very reminiscent of Miss Hannigan of Annie . Anyway luckily I've taught my kids that Chores are Fun! and they had a good time. Later, I cranked up the fun-o-meter on a bank errand by dropping in the Halloween store to check out costumes, and upped the ante on "Mom needs new running shoes" by tacking on a "Hey let's eat out at a restaurant!" My husband was able to join ...

Enough with the Mary Poppins Parenting, All Right?

Note: this post begins with "recently" but it was recent then not now. Then was around March 2012. At some point, someone for some reason reported this post and the platform pulled it down. However, the concept is evergreen so I am republishing it! ________________________________________________________________________________ Recently on Facebook, a friend disgustedly posted another "how French parents are better" article (this one cruelly about how French kids have less ADHD and it's because the French parents are BETTER -- or so it read to a lot of parents dealing with this situation in their own families, and boy do I understand that POV). She was appalled, we were all mainly appalled. Though there was a slight thread of "maybe there's a point here...how can we have so much more?" running through it. Feeling insecure about your parenting is pretty de rigeur for parents, I think. We are raising a person who will go out into the world, rep...
