WWND?

My friend Nancy could give Martha Stewart a run for her money (oops—probably shouldn't be talking about Martha's money these days), except on the prissiness factor. Nancy can laugh at herself, but she also knows the best way to cook things, store things, clean things, repair things, make things, buy things, and just in general do things. Particularly when a hygiene issue presents itself to me, my first thought is usually, "What would Nancy do?" Example: One time Julie pooped during her bath. Yikes, what would Nancy do? She would first worry about the kid—get her out of the tub and scrub her down with diaper wipes. Once she's taken care of, then worry about somehow removing the offending object(s) and disinfecting the bath toys and tub. Phew, that wasn't so hard. Recently Andy almost knocked over a glass of red wine on the rug. I said to him, "What would you do if you did get wine on the rug and I wasn't home?" I was hoping he'd at least start with something like, "I'd blot it carefully with a damp white towel," but instead he shrugged and said, "I'd call Nancy."

[Nancy]

Very flattering. I will be hosting an question and answer period tomorrow from 2-4 p.m. - and please alert Martha's people that I would entertain the idea of being the new spokesperson.
