	Mysterio Predicts the Week of July 20, 2009 Nary a day will pass this week without your searching deep into your soul to find the answer to the eternal question: “Is SPF 100 truly enough protection?”

We’re getting ready to launch a TON of fun baby gifts at the NYIGF this August and this video (found over at mr. diggles + you) has become my shining beacon of ultimate personal and professional aspiration. I’m so simultaneously horrified and hillarified at this guy’s…well, EVERYTHING… that there is no other choice but to model myself after him in every way possible during my run in NY. Why? Because life is not about being liked. It’s about being effective.

My favorite bit is when he fumbles the one-handed opening of the business card that it took him 25 years to design. Read just the tiniest bit more about the amazing Joel Bauer here, at TIME of all places.

	Mysterio Predicts the Week of July 13, 2009 You will permanently retire the nightlight in the nursery once you discover that baby had swallowed quite a lot of fireflies this week.

I recently visited my parents out in Oregon, and found a little keepsake that proves our grandparent’s generation knew how to cute-it-up. My parents have a bit of a pack-rat syndrome, but in this case, that proved to be a great thing. Inside a drawer filled with the likes of my Juice Newton backstage pass, some of my old teeth (kind of disgusting) and some very embarrassing (big hair) prom photos, I found my grandmother’s little brag book. It was filled with great old pics of their road trip out to see us the summer I was born. On the cover and title page it says, S.O.G. with P.I.P. , which stands for “Silly Old Grandma with Pictures in Purse. ”

Silly Old Grandma with Pictures in Purse.

I love how they had to explain it, because maybe the phrase hadn’t caught on yet? But it must have been big, no? If not, I’m bringing it back! SOG with PIP. Catchy. It’s always nice to look back. Thanks for being a pack-rat mom! Now throw out that old 1980’s boom box in the garage before it fossilizes!

The Granparents sans seat belts and me sans car seat.

	Mysterio Predicts the Week of July 6, 2009 You and your baby will spend a quiet week recovering from the scare you both suffered over the July 4th holiday. Never again shall you place your baby too close to the hot dog tray at a hot dog eating competition.
