morning pregnancy book
If pregnancy were a book, they would cut the last two chapters. The beginning is glorious, especially if you're lucky enough not to have morning sickness and if, like me, you've had small breasts all your life. Suddenly they begin to grow, and you've got them, you've really got them, breasts, darling breasts, and when you walk down the street they bounce, truly they do, they bounce bounce bounce.
beautiful get-better looks
One of the few advantages to not being beautiful is that one usually gets better-looking as one gets older. I am, in fact, at this very moment gaining my looks.
achievement movement dutch
The major concrete achievement of the women's movement of the 1970's was the Dutch treat.
cheating husband play
If your husband is cheating on you with a carhop, get Meryl Streep to play you. You'll feel much better.
girl believe school
The one thing I would like to get across about my whole feeling regarding high school is how I was when I was fifteen. Gawky. Always a hem hanging down, or strap loose, or a pimple on my chin. I never knew what to do with my hair. I was a mess. And I still carry that fifteen-year-old girl around now. A piece of me still believes I'm the girl nobody dances with.
marriage cooking looks
Every so often I would look at my women friends who were happily married and didn't cook, and I would always find myself wondering how they did it. Would anyone love me if I couldn't cook? I always thought cooking was part of the package: Step right up, it's Rachel Samstat, she's bright, she's funny and she can cook!
sex mystery liberation
What will happen to sex after liberation? Frankly, I don't know. It is a great mystery to all of us.
women food memorable
Whenever I get married, I start buying Gourmet magazine.
desire becoming honestly
I have no desire to be dominated. Honestly I don't. And yet I find myself becoming angry when I'm not.
drama believe risk
[I] had gotten to the point where I simply could not make a bad vinaigrette, this was not exactly the stuff of drama. (Even now, I cannot believe Mark would want to risk losing that vinaigrette. You just don't bump into vinaigrettes that good.)
party journalist has-beens
The image of the journalist as wallflower at the orgy has been replaced by the journalist as the life of the party.
meg mail
It was personal to me." ~Kathleen Kelly (Meg Ryan) in You've Got Mail
senior years iphone
I am living in the Google years, no question of that. And there are advantages to it. When you forget something, you can whip out your iPhone and go to Google. The Senior Moment has become the Google moment, and it has a much nicer, hipper, younger, more contemporary sound, doesn't it? By handling the obligations of the search mechanism, you almost prove you can keep up.... You can't retrieve you life (unless you're on Wikipedia, in which case you can retrieve an inaccurate version of it).
looks young given
I look as young as a person can look given how old I am.
