Chelsea Kaplan’s Musings About Life... After Birth
Posted by Chelsea on October 01, 2007

Tickets for the January Hannah Montana (played by teen “sensation” Miley Cyrus) concert at Washington, DC’s Verizon Center sold out this past Saturday in 12 minutes, faster than the sale of tickets to the Bruce Springsteen show.
Missed the boat? Tickets to the show are currently available on ebay for around $750 (face value price for the tickets did not exceed $66).
Miley, in response to the mayhem, was overheard asking, “Who’s the ‘boss’ now, bitch?”

My Current Obsessions
The Kiefer Cottage
Meet the Kiefers: a quirky, lovable family of five on a quest to transform their 1940s Kansas City bungalow into the house of their dreams. The budget is small, the dreams are big, the creativity is inspiring. Check them out - you can thank us later. Happy reading, everybody!
Mrs. Meyer’s Clean Day® All Purpose Cleaner
I don't understand gals who claim to loooove cleaning. That said, I do get a certain joy from using Mrs. Meyer's Clean Day® All Purpose Cleaner to care for my home. You can't lose with this stuff...it is hard-working & earth-friendly, and will leave your abode smelling like a day spa instead of a chemical spill. Try Lemon Verbena in the kitchen and Basil in the bathroom. At only $7.99 a bottle, you can afford to pick up both!
True Blood
Um, does this even need a caption? Doubtful, but let me just say that this is the hottest hour on television. Vampires are seriously sexy (especially Eric), and on this show you get to see a lot of them--if you get what I mean. Put the kids to bed and flip the channel to HBO on Sundays at 9 p.m. to taste the fun that is True Blood.
Valentino Bow Thong Sandals
So comfy and feminine, I know I'd wear them all summer. But dang, that much money for jellies? Possibly worth the splurge. $275, nordstrom.com
New Balance Kids’ Sneakers in wide sizes
My boys have wide feet, which means finding cute shoes for them is tough. These, however, rock. Prices vary, visit nbwebexpress.com to purchase.
Zoya “Laurie” Nail Polish
This sheer pink polish is, without question, the PERFECT nude pink. Plus, the polish is free of formaldehyde, toluene, camphor and dibutyl phthalate (read: yucky crap that isn't really safe for prego gals). $6, enailsupply.com.

oh dear. I do know a lot of people who enjoy “Hannah Montana” - whose giggles at the show bring a smile to my own face. That does seem like a thoughtless remark about The Boss - but are we sure Miss Cyrus said it? And that she said it meanly, or ignorantly, and not just to be funny? I’m trying to look on the bright side here, but what do I know? I’m the mom whose daughter still has a LiLo “Herbie” poster up in her room.

Just to be fair…she didn;t really say that. I made it up - wasn’t I funny?
oh yes, it was funny. I am delighted to know it was said in humor - by you or by Miss Cyrus. As a 40-something, mother of three, rural minister’s wife, I find any statement made to be funny when followed by the word “Bitch.” Which explains why today I am reading your slightly-off-the-wall blog instead of crotcheting doilies or whatever minister’s wives supposedly do on Saturday afternoons.
