Okay, here I was about to detail my serious girl-crush on Cmdr. Eileen Collins (is she not amazing?) when the freaking NYT styles section (now printed on thursdays too, god help us) makes me feel like some kind of zeitgeist zombie AGAIN. Sheesh. Exactly what breed of sheep am I? Feh.
Seriously though, I am in love with Commander Collins. Every time i heard her speak from space I couldn't believe how f*cking cool she was. Maybe it's because I can hardly pilot a hatchback into a parking space. Maybe it's because I have perused dream job project manager positions at NASA and have yet to find any that call for the barely competent. Maybe it's because she's a mom too, as well as a seasoned mission commander tapped for probably the most challenging Shuttle mission ever. Whatever it is I have a major crush and just want write her sappy mash notes about how much she inspires me all day long.
Hi Alana- Just want to let you know that your blogs
( I didn't even know what that was 'til I read yours...)are the best way ever to end my work days. Phil and I gather at the computer and oohh and ahh over new pics and funny, compassionate, witty and oh so very human and mom-ish entries. My friend Amy ( a new mom like yourself- Tessa Shae was born in April) reads you, also, and is convinced that between Lowell and Tessa, YOU HAVE THE TWO ABSOLUTE CUTEST BABIES ON THE PLANET. Tessa's grandma agrees, too. We hear the L- man is now standing!!! OH MY GOSH.
