Say yes.

So it's abundantly clear I'm not writing much these days. Yesterday I got an email bitchslap from Flipit because of it. So this week I'm back on Denise, and here and maaaaybe even gonna think about starting that short story.

In the meantime, here is a list of things that have been occupying my time this summer:
1) Watching a lot of MXC. A lotttttt.
2) Refreshing Craigslist all day everyday looking for random ways to make money.
3) Getting free passes to high vis gyms in West Hollywood.
4) Reconnecting with coffee.
5) And wine.
6) Going out with cute boys who cook meals and have big TVs.
7) Chasing Hermes around Beverly Hills.

Which brings us to Hermes. This week I finally started the celebrity nanny stint a few hours a day just to see how we all like each other. Over the past couple years I've been a lukewarm part-time nanny. I've been fortunate to have all great kids, but it's been a paycheck, not a career. But for the first time I have to say I LOVE this kid. Like, abnormally, I love him. He is fun and funny and smart and totally chill. We were like instant BFFs.

Yesterday I went with the family to an event in West Hollywood that looked a lot like an episode of "Entourage". (A ton of typical LA girls and Adrien Grenier, who I've seen out in the world twice now, and I'm not unconvinced he's not just Vinnie Chase.) And in the midst of this swank event, (my mom won't believe it) I have never been happier to be walking around with a baby. Like myself, he wanted to continually be by the massively-tiered cupcake stand. And I seriously had the most popular date in the joint. The kid is an attention magnet. Another thing I can totally get behind.

And best of all, at 21 months, he's already highly googleable. Just how I like my men.

Also has a big TV.

I hate Entourage.

It's a soap opera for men.

And you have a lot more patience than me, I'd never be able to be a nanny. I envision myself being a bit like Michael Keaton in Mr. Mom.

This is your big chance. Kelsey Grammar, Jude Law, David Beckham, what do all these people have in common? Bag yourself someone nice, an A-list type.

yes, there appear to be a lot of A-listers running around with some babysitter fantasies.
