Judy, your mantra that usually anything with pink on the cover is to be taken lightly or put back is put to rest with this wee tome.
I have not laughed as openly and with such abandon in a LOOoooonnnng time as I have with this book - it's simply hilarious. - about just growing up & growing older and growing into who we might not have always wanted to be but with who we are pretty darned happy to be. When I grow up, I want to write like Nora Ephron and Heather Armstrong all rolled into one.
Again, I have to lend and would heartily recommend taking me up on this one.
We should bring all our recent reads to a group dinner sometime to trade!

What is it about pink these days? Have you walked into a girls clothing dept or toy section. It's all pink! I've thought about this alot and I think we (pre-Title 9)tried so hard not to be "girly" that pink became a 4-letter word. I would not have been caught dead in pink.
I discussed this with my SIL just now and she agrees (she has 2 sm granddaughters so is familiar with the pink phenom). Her words "Pink is just not a color we would wear, ever."
Huh. I used to feel that way.
And I felt that way when buying baby clothes.
But that feeling totally dissipated after Sally was born. And I don't know exactly how or why, but I started to like wearing pink myself as part of being a girls' mommy. (one of my favorite things to see is when a mommy has a new pretty gown/robe to wear after baby's birth--completely unnecessary but such a nice treat!)
I still look for other colors when buying them clothes..but Gracie is pretty set in her ways. And if it's pink, it's ok. And if it's not pink, it's not ok.
I guess I like the safety of it.
