I want to introduce you to someone I've been writing with for the past few months.

Ellen is the mom of one of Stink's kindergarten friends. We meet every Monday at Starbucks, work on our pilot, bitch about husbands, careers, kids and the wonderful joys of our zany existence.

I'm not sure if I love her more because she still hangs out with Hugh Hefner (Yeah, she was a Playmate back in the day... can you stand it?), she has a blog called Amazons Barbies and Cripples, or if she wants to write a travel book starting with the city of sin called Gimpin' It: Las Vegas.

There's also the fact that every Friday night she opens up her home to us, including this lovely writer, and lets our kids rule her backyard while we sip Merlot and chat.

Oh, and she puts up with me. That's cool, too.

Wish us luck - we have an actual pitch meeting tomorrow for some animated stuff! Yeah!

But my son is sick and going to have to stay home. Boo!

But my mom - whose blood is slowly draining back into her body - is going to be home with my brother, so I'm sticking the kid on them.

Gimps, sickies and sub-dermal hematomas - it's the stuff of life!

(And FREE fish dinners. Want one? Head on over to Gin & Bare It and sign up.)

More of my writing can be found daily at Good Housekeeping

Andrea, that's FANTASTIC!!!! Both the writing opportunity and the new friendship. I'll be excited to hear more about both. :)

Sorry about the Stinkster. Glad your mo and bro can be called upon to hang out with him.
