I have stacks of magazines just waiting for me to read all about the newest recipes my kids will love (no they won’t), how I really can wear white pants (no I can’t), and how celebrities are just like me (no they aren’t).
If I had a magazine?
I’d keep it real, yo.

Yep. That’s about right.

Why I waste my time trying to read stuff about decorating that I’ll NEVER DO, is beyond me.
This all would be much more relevant.
Perfect.
Leigh Ann recently posted..It’s just a thing
Why, thank you!
OK THAT is hilarious! You have a future career in magazine cover headlines!
Mary Anne recently posted..WTF Wednesday–I’ve Been Googled…..
I’m prepping my resume as we speak!
Awesomesauce. Add 10 tips to lose the winter weight because we all know you didn’t follow the 20 tips to lose the summer weight.

Or maybe it should be 30 winter weight tips? I’m so confused.
Best to just ignore all 30 and start drinking.

I can roll with this.
This magazine will sell a facktillion copies.
Kristen Mae recently posted..Cabinet Slammers and Screamers
But don’t worry, I still won’t glam up on the covers when I’m an uber filthy rich media mogul.
Oh this is the best!
Jessica recently posted..Other
Thanks, Jessica! Not quite as elegant as your business card pics, but I think it has a certain something about it….
Can I be the editor? I have six years of publication experience and am currently proofing a 70 page magazine as we speak (while on Facebook, which means I multi-task well, no?)
HIRED!! Let’s get rich together, sister. All the avocados we ever need!!!
I haven’t purchased a magazine for women in years but I would subscribe to yours in a minute. Real advice for actual real people. Love it.
Kelly O’Sullivan (HILWD) recently posted..le•git•i•mate (adj) \li-ˈji-tə-mət\ — A Primer for Todd #Akin
Thanks, Kelly! As soon as I can add about 50 more pages, I’ll send out a subscription notice.
I’ll take a subscription, too! Add an article about cuss words you won’t worry about your kid repeating and we’ll be good to go!
Sasha recently posted..Open House ain’t what it used to be….
Nice idea! I just might take on you freelance…
Ha! That’s awesome. I think the thing that got to me was the leaky undercarriage part.
Annabelle recently posted..Trifecta: Heart
Most women have that problem after having kids or once they hit a certain age. Ahhh…good times…
Sign me up – I need a subscription to that! Actually, better make it two subscriptions, since most of my magazines usually end up getting cut to bits for collages and various art projects before I get to read them.
Hollow Tree Ventures recently posted..As The Dollhouse Turns – The Visit
I have a feeling this one wouldn’t end up in the recycling bin. I mean, you’re gonna frame that picture of me…RIGHT??
I don’t think you’ll ever get Gwenyth Paltrow to pose for your cover; however, I think it would greatly benefit her if you sent her a copy of your article, “Top ten ways celebrities can be more like regular people.” I love your idea. It will sell a million copies in the first week!

Kathy at kissing the frog recently posted..I Spy a Family
She’s not allowed on my cover. Only me. MEMEMEMEMEME. But I’ll send her the article, as you requested.
Atta girl Kim! Take her down a few notches. Show her how it’s really done!
Kathy at kissing the frog recently posted..I Spy a Family
Damn right. I do my OWN hair (bedhead) and (no) makeup!
How to trick inlaws into keeping the kids so you can sneak away to the spa?
Sex tips for getting it done in the dressing rooms at Target?
Home remedy roofies to quiet the kids while you watch your favorite shows?
I have ideas for future issues.
Lance recently posted..Heart In A Blender
You will be our monthly columnist. Hired!
This would sell like hot cakes!!!! Love it! If it should go to publication, I’ll be first in line!!!!
Joy recently posted..Why Doesn’t School Start Until September 4th?
Thanks, Joy! They make the PERFECT baby shower gift.
I would pay good money for someone to tell me how to get my husband to stop snoring! I would get a subscription for myself, and every mom I know!
Jessica recently posted..I see a lot of Xbox in my future.
Now I really need to make this happen. Hmm…know any multi-millionaires who’d want to invest in me?
I’m in love. I’ll take 7 subscriptions, to start. Can I write the editorial piece, “You’re probably going to poop on the delivery table…get over it!”?
Bethany @ Bad Parenting Moments recently posted..Out of the Mouths of Babes
You’re IN. Of course.
Can I please help you put this together? I have very successful, although not traditional, parenting methods. For example, my child responds very well to threats of bringing out “mommy monster,” which helps with Facebook for at least long enough for me to finish my post. You see, it’s all about how you prepare the character, eg, crazy eyes, monster teeth. Scares the crap out of her. When she was younger, I pretended to be a robot. Of course that turned into a game pretty quick.
Obviously I’d recruit experts like you for my magazine. Who better, than those in the trenches??
Are you furkin’ kidding me? Did you make this? You are a genius. Plain and simple. I adore you. That is all.
Frugalistablog recently posted..I Did- 15 years ago today.
Yes, I did. Yes, that’s me. Yes, I took this in my basement & made it all myself. What can I say? Future media mogul in the making….
PS I adore you, too.
Your face! I’m dying! That’s the perfect expression. I want to be on a cover.

Ninja Mom recently posted..If you try sometimes you might find (dun, dun, duh) you get marshmallows.
If I decide to do a Blog Wives issue? You’re in. I’ll tuck you into my pocket and set that timer again.
Hahahaha!! You definitely should publish your own magazine. Who better to publish something that will actually be useful as something other than a cluttering agent?
Monika recently posted..No Filter
This shit’ll get read. THAT’S for sure.
Lady, I will send you money to make this magazine actually happen! Well, I would if I had any, anyway.
Kathy V. recently posted..Why Didn’t I Post Today?
When you get money and I can actually make this magazine? I’ll happily accept it.
Love it and I love Lance’s ideas for columns!
Lace has many lady-friendly insights. It’s how he rolls & why we all love him.
Beyond brilliant! I want to be on the cover of the special double issue: “Quit Stepping on Your Nipples!”
Leslie @ The Bearded Iris recently posted..Fifty Shades of Slap-Yo-Mama Hilarity
That would be a very looooooong issue.
How to stop your husband from snoring? Now, that I’ve got to read! How can I subscribe? And can I get it on my iPad?
Steph at Im Still Learning recently posted..Back to school… Ain’t all it’s cracked up to be!
Of course it will be mobile device friendly. Duh – have you MET me??
Amazing. You had me at leaky undercarriage. When does the next issue come out?
Mommy Shorts recently posted..Babes of Summer: Fan Photo Album
Next month, my dear. Next month.
“Pull-Out Bonus.” CLASSIC. Best part after you and that face you’re making.
Suburban Snapshots recently posted..Sorry Dad, I Didn’t Get Pregnant for Your Birthday
I’m surprised only a handful of people caught that. I knew I could count on you.
I’d subscribe!
Hooray!

HOLY PEED MYSELF LAUGHING, BATMAN!
Kim, how did I not click when I saw you Tweet this?
High-liarious. Oh my gawd, I love you. I don’t comment often, but I’ve been here for years. Hope that gets me an interview in the December issue, in which I explain how not to give a sh*t how to avoid family, and top ten excuses for avoiding holiday parties.
Naptimewriting recently posted..Sad-sack-itis
I know you’ve been around, just like I’m quietly hanging around your place, too.
I’m glad I could finally shake you out from behind the curtains!
