TGIF ... BTKGBTSOM

If you're a mom whose kids have been off from school this week, you can probably figure out what the letters above stand for. If not, take a minute to figure it out and then scroll down for the answer.*

A few odds and ends for today ...

• If you're a Susan Isaacs fan and plan on being on Long Island tonight, pop on over to Book Revue, where she'll be doing a reading and signing. My pal Susan Henderson and I will be there among the throngs.

• If you watch American Idol and want to read the you'll the funniest, snarkiest, smartest and most insightful recaps in the blogosphere, bookmark Susan DiPlacido's blog.

• Just to prove that I know people who aren't named Susan, I'll direct you to my Brava! blog, which now features an interview with someone named Amanda Ashby. I hope you'll check it out.

* Thank God it's Friday ... because the kids go back to school on Monday.
