My bio could just be a big thank you list, so why not? To my babies, my awesome daughters who have given me this terrifying, amazing and wonderful ride called motherhood. You two are my dearest wish come true. To mom and dad: No one could have loved more, laughed more or made me feel more safe. Everyone should start life with such merciless approval and deafening encouragement. I love you both beyond sane reason. My niece Nicole. You are the one most like me in our family, except you are doing something about it so much sooner! Love, love, love you! To the "Not So Standard More Than Five", you know who you are. Ours will always be the time of my life! To the great people at Starbucks, Pottery Barn, Eddie Bauer and Williams-Sonoma. Without whom I might actually be content with my own reality. Here's to the life I live in your deep arm chairs and immaculate catalogs. To Krista and Carri, my first real grown-up mommy friends, thanks for morning phone calls and play-dates, you inspire me. To Lisa, my first divorced friend. Thanks for reminding me how to laugh after divorce and teaching me about the benefits of rebound relationship distraction! For sappy country songs, sultry jazz, anything 80s, Disney channel and sesame street. The soundtrack of my life could not be anymore random. TV and the DVR box, you beautiful little thing, thank you. Here's to sandals with socks, staying in PJs all day and a little Van Morrison with my iced mocha.
