Welcome home! I enjoy vacations, but I'm a homebody at heart, so I'm always glad to be home. However home, to me, is just being around my bed, my cats and my family. I have no firm attachment to LA. It's just another place I've lived. And I know that we will move elsewhere one day and probably will move again after that. I grew up on the move and I have a hard time imagining life in one place.

The next move will either be to Connecticut or Texas. I'd love to live in Ireland for a few years when the kids are old enough to appreciate and enjoy it.

I do miss alone time. I get approximately 15 mins/day and I use it to shower. I could probably carve out more, but I prefer to spend the time with the daughter I hardly ever get to see.

I know you consider me one of your most adventurous friends, so I'm sure it will come as a blow when I tell you that my go to color is....red. I like it because it feels classic and sexy. Even when I'm not feeling particularly sexy myself, at least my toes look it. But I don't wear anything but clear or light pink on my fingers. I'm so pale I think any color looks a little garish.

I think, for you, you need some orange polish. I'm a little shocked it's not in your permanent rotation!

Good for you for taking the plunge! And good for all of us, because rough draft or not, I thought it was great and can't wait to read more!

My husband and I waited 3 years to have a baby and it was really great to have those year for just the two of us. I was 32 when my daughter was born and, for me, that was perfect. I kept waiting for the 'right time', but I don't think that exists. You could spend years waiting to have more money, a better job, the perfect house. I always knew I wanted a child and one day, my husband and I just decided that after my next birthday we would start trying. That gave us several months to cross a couple of things off our 'to do before kids' list (like a long weekend in Napa!) and then we were ready.

If you really want a baby, then start trying. You never know how long it might take. If you're not sure, then take a little more time and enjoy your life as it is. It does change things dramatically, but I feel like my life is so much richer now that it includes a sweet little girl.

Woohoo! I am so very excited. Hurry up and get it to me and I will wear it on my trip to Texas next week and promote the hell out of your book!

I watch way too much. I used to call it research when I thought I wanted to be a TV writer, but now it's just become habitual. My husband and I are going to experiment with a 'week without TV' (excluding the occasional afternoon sports viewing) -- the experiment is set to start after we watch the rest of the season finales of our favorite shows.

I've also been deleting a lot of shows that are set to record. The majority of them are trashy reality shows that I had set to tape so that I would have things to watch when I was out on maternity leave. But I've come to realize that as a full time working mom, I no longer have the bandwidth to let The Real Housewives into my life. Oh, well.

Top Chef. And catching up on our neflix queue (we've had Hurt Locker sitting on top of our DVD player since the Oscars. We could have just bought the damn DVD for the same money it's sucked up in netflix fees). Other than that, I echo MMKV -- lots of outdoorsy time with the husband and baby!

I guess I understand why people don't want things spoiled, but I guess I've never really cared. It may be a different kind of viewing experience if you know the ending, but you can still enjoy it.

I don't watch Grey's, I didn't watch Lost -- all I have to say is that I really hope you've been watching Fringe because they, too, had a great season finale. And if you're not, you really should be!
