July 9, 2009 | Celebrity Sightings, I Have Issues, Proof of My Immaturity, badassery

I received several requests from readers who wanted to know how I made Warren Sapp LOL.

I would love to claim tremendous wit or a really great joke. But here is the truth.

I’m not proud.

But on the other hand, if you were high brow you probably wouldn’t be reading me in the first place.

The Importance of Being a Woman Sports Blogger

April 9, 2009 | Celebrity Sightings, Sports

Megan from Women Talk Sports and …Because I Played Sports interviews ESPN’s Nancy Lieberman at the WNBA Pre-Draft Event.

… and I filmed it.

I apologize for the shakiness in the beginning. Nancy Lieberman is my new hero. Actually, I met a lot of new people to look up to at the WNBA Draft. The women (and men) in this organization are amazing.

Hopefully I will have some more pictures for you soon, but in the mean time please watch the video. It is inspiring and it makes me feel good about what I do.

Not Really About the Conference – Not Really Not About it Either

February 22, 2009 | Celebrity Sightings

Since I figure you can find all sorts of information on the Mom 2.0 Summit elsewhere on the internet I won’t go into too many details about the conference itself.

Yes, it was fabulous. Yes, you should go next year. Yes, I talked with wonderful and brilliant women… but you probably already knew that. Instead I will talk about all of the non-blogging celebrities that were in Houston when we were there.

No, I never saw any of the Dallas Mavericks. Yes, Michael Jordan and the Charlotte Bobcats were staying in our hotel the night before we left and I definitely saw one of them (Seriously, you can’t miss a 7 foot  tall man in the Four Seasons lobby.) but I’m not sure which one because 1) I really need new contacts and 2) My kids don’t let me watch Sports Center anymore.

Yes, Robin Williams was also in the hotel and I didn’t see him.

But I DID see and say hi to Gorge Lopez (who may or may not have been walking with a woman of ill repute*).

We also had an amazing meal at T’afia. It was delicious and I thought that it was very reasonably priced for fine dining. What made the meal truly memorable was Monica Pope. Not only did she feed us insanely well, but she also spent time at our table talking to us about the food, and about other things.

In other news, I will soon be doing a giveaway. I’ll be giving away a copy of Katherine Center’s new novel “Everyone is Beautiful.” Why? Because I bought a copy of her book after meeting her and finding her charming and witty. Then 10 minutes later Devra told me that I already owned this book as it was included in the bag the Mom 2.0 Summit ladies gave the speakers. Devra says this proves her assertion – it isn’t that I am not that bright (as I often maintain) but instead I am woefully unobservant.

I say in this particular situation it might actually prove both theories right as well as my mother’s theory that I tend to spend money on things I don’t actually need.

Either way, I’m bringing back the “What the Hell is Sarah reading?” contests as I both have a good prize and was smart enough not to list my airplane selection on “Good Reads” this time.

Live From the Mom 2.0 Summit

February 21, 2009 | Celebrity Sightings, Other Bloggers

I am sitting at the Mom 2.0 Summit watching some guy doing a dramatic reading of one of The Blogess’ posts.

I’m not kidding.

But if you are on twitter at all you probably already know that.

Here is what I really wanted to tell you – THE DALLAS MAVERICKS ARE STAYING IN OUR HOTEL!

Yvonne met Jason Kidd. She has a picture to prove it in everything.*

Sadly, I saw no Mavericks and the only people I have seen from Dallas are other bloggers and I think the basketball team is probably already gone.

If by some twist of fate they are still in Houston and I see one of them you will be the second to know.**

That’s What They Say Every Single [redacted] Day

January 9, 2009 | Books, Celebrity Sightings, Proof of My Immaturity, Who are the People in Your Neighborhood?

I was at the library this morning and I saw a guy that looked just like Dr. Dre.dr-dre-car

I had to fight every urge in my body to not go up to him and ask “Is it Dre? Is it Dre?”
