More On Shutting Up and Looking Pretty

November 19, 2006 – 12:36 pm |

It’s undeniable: the cuter you are the more people pay attention to you. Oh yeah, you can try to make up for what you lack in looks by being funny. You can be just a little smarter than the pretty girl next door. Maybe you sing like nobody’s business, but if you don’t have the right look, there’ll be no record deals (with a very few notable exceptions, of course). Unfortunately, conventional wisdom is that it takes a whole lot of content to totally compensate for your form. You gotta be cute.Which is why I decided to have a little work done.

In the spirit of all things Hollywood, it’s time for Mommy Tracks (the blog, NOT the Mommy) to get a makeover. And while she has some Bloggy Botox, I will be taking a little vacation from posting for the holiday season to free up some time for focusing on cooking, eating, shopping, decorating, wrapping, eating, singing, playing and relishing the holidays with my babies … before they grow up. If it’s not too early for NORAD to start watching for Santa, it’s probably not too early for me to start thinking about hanging lights. I’m going to give it my all this season to actually stop and smell the pine needles.

During the hiatus I intend to consider a number of life issues – including whether to start 2007 blogging outside the closet.If you just found this blog, I hope you’ll read some old stuff (my favorite posts are conveniently linked over on the left! ;-0) And if you’re one of the four or so devoted readers, I do hope you’ll pop back in the New Year to see how it all turns out.
Here’s wishing you a Happy Thanksgiving and peaceful holidays filled with love.
