Mommy Coolest

No wire hanger hang ups, no hacking up rose bushes, no late night bathroom scrubbings with a toothbrush and comet - Mommy Coolest won't have that.

My sister, Kristie has been fortunate to meet the most interesting people as she and her family move from city to city. There were certainly some interesting folks to cross her path during their 3 years in Memphis. Her friend Cathy certainly registers at the top of the list.

First, to look at Cathy you would think that she herself is in college. You would squint, cock your head and probably let out an uncontrolled laugh when she told you that her children are in college.

Following on the youthful look is the youthful outlook. I've never seen Cathy without a smile and something positive to say, she takes everything in stride and keeps moving.

Then there is her job, she works for the Flim Commission in Memphis. Her latest assignment was working with MTV to create "My Block Memphis", which included the filming of some local musical talent. Apparently there was a trial run of the "My Block" series in Houston. It will spread to Chicago, New Orleans and Miami if well received. Lets watch it, it airs on MTV July 6th and MTV2 on July 3rd. I don't think I've watched MTV since the late 80's so this will be a nice visit back to my youth.

So, how cool is that to have a mom that gets paid to party with the MTV crew?
