Before & After Collage

Before baby, I was the life of the party.  I partied like a rock star and sometimes with rock stars around the world. I sipped champagne and brushed (and brushed off the) shoulders of the grown and sexy. Post-pregnancy, I’m usually asleep before the blowout begins. So lately, I’ve been attending Twitter parties, which allow me to join a celebration in my pajamas. That way, I can have a social life, stay in the loop and drink a glass of wine without leaving the house! Don’t get me wrong, I get in a moms night out every once in a while.  But at this stage in the game, I am quite comfortable spending the evening on my couch. So today, I sent in my RSVP to an invite from my friend Lamar and Ronnie, who run Black and Married With Kids.  They’re hosting a viewing party to celebrate the season 2 premiere and return of one of their favorite sitcoms, The Soul Man.
