Consider it a day in the life for the forgotten hours.
Here I am showing Busy pics of my kids.
and What time are you coming hommmmeee?
I didnt cry because the mascara situation would have been catastrophic, but it did make me emotional.
The next morning I started my day by letting my kid eat donuts for breakfast.
Starting your day with two delightful men calling you pretty and brushing your hair is unparalleled.
I got myself dressed and made it up to Saks for lunch in honor ofThe Motherload.
I ran into Charlotte Groeneveld on the way up.
The table was so gorgeous: flowers by Emily atFlowerbx.
And while we are on it, can we discuss why its so hard to send flowers?
And did the note arrive?
Was your name spelled right?
Was the vase pretty?
Emily texts and does things quicklysame day!
Stole fries from the share plate.
A perfect, syrupy, bubbly Diet Coke over ice with lemon.
Oh, and baguette with salted French butter.
Nicky Hilton told me that LAvenue flies it in from France.
We will never know, but Id like to spread the rumor.
I was so inspired by my own food choices that I even stood up to make a short toast.
Tragically, I had to leave before my cheesecake came because I had to get downtown to sign books.
Here, I am saying bye to Beth Nicely and Leigh Lezark.
Leigh doesnt smile, but neither would you if you had her cheekbones.
I left lunch carrying myownsigned book.
Is that narcissism, or is it practical?
Entering The Strand, one of my favorite bookstores in the world.
Its been owned by one family since it started!
Im about to see my book on shelves for the first time.
We found her!!!
Okay, that person was my friend Abigail.
But it was still a fun coincidence!
Quick pit stop to take baby Fred out for fresh air, which she was skeptical about.
This field trip involved a cappuccino for me and some people watching for her.
Jenny is a boss lady at Knopf, one of the best publishing houses in the world.
She also wrote a wonderful book calledPineapple Street!
Trust me, Jenny.
Get that podcast money.
My first bite of food since lunch.
I mean, it was only about five hours in between meals, but I was panicking.
Panicking, I tell you.
My best friend from high school, Marina, flew in from Milan for my party on Monday night!
Again, I brought a signed copy of my own book to dinner.
How long until this is a personality trait?
This is when we ordered the nightcap bottle of Champagne.
We thought we were so smart.
This is when we knew it was time for bed.The Motherloadbook tour is just beginning!
