I want to write like her and live in NYC like her and be on a quest to find the best cookie in the world like her and be able to adequately express my feelings about motherhood like her, and I wish that my first blog post ever was as simple and as witty as her first blog post ever. (It's about Target, I love Target!!)
She made me want to live in New York City so badly that I made Spencer apply to graduate school at Columbia University. But Birmingham, Alabama or New York City? Really, what's the diff? At least that's what I keep telling myself...
So do yourself a favor and read Nat The Fat Rat. If you don't think you have time, give up Nienie or sleep or whatever because her blog is the best of all the blogs.

I received a text from my mom this Sunday with a picture attached.
Mom: I took that picture in the church bathroom. Michelle helped me tone it down with some brownish lip gloss... kind of like we were in jr. high again.
To which I responded something like: What is lip stain?
Mom: Seriously, if you are as "hip" as that natthefatrat girl you can wear what ever the freak color you want on your lips. I just looked like a clown. Just ask Maddie Budge who was involved in the "intervention"in the church bathroom that was required so that I wouldn't be a distraction to my own young women's lesson third hour! You ask, "what is lip stain anyway?" It is exactly what it says it is. It is a paint-on-a-pencil that stains your lips so that you can't even rub it off if you want to. Thus, you end up with an even brighter red tone from scrubbing!"
So the bright lip stain... only if you're "hip" like Nat.
*I really badly wish I could show you the picture, but I think my mom would kill me.
love her blog as well. just stumbled on your blog, really enjoyed your "about section", definitely can relate to the blog stalking haha! just beginning a blog myself!

Stumbling across your blog has been the best thing that's happened to me today, and also eating a slice of cinnamon bread.
