Three Cheers for Three Wednesday Women:
Wednesday Woman #1:
Michelle Allen, of Middletown, Ohio was arrested last Saturday for allegedly chasing children and blocking traffic while wearing a cow suit.
The Middletown Journal did not speculate on the reason for the cow suit, besides the obvious fact that it made for the best mug shot ever.
Ms. Allen reportedly wore the cow suit again on Tuesday morning for her court appearance.
Why? you might ask.
Well, I might ask in return, Why the hell not?

Wednesday Woman #2:
I do not know the difference between a functional saxaphone and good martini, but University of Tennessee music professor Connie Frigo sure does.
And this week, Dr. Frigo went to bat for my 12-year-old daughter, who is taking lessons from one of her graduate students. The student teacher reported to Dr. Frigo that my daughter, a first-time sax player, had been provided with a seriously defective saxaphone by a local music store.

Dr. Frigo fired off an email to me: This hits a nerve with me for many reasons! and asked us to allow her to communicate with the music store on our behalf.
She called the manager, and spoke with the repair man, whom she knows, and insisted they make things right for us.
I will come down there, she told them, and look at the instrument myself, if I have to.
She called me back. Take the sax in and ask for the manager by name. Here’s his name.
And tell him Dr. Frigo sent you…
(Wow, marvelled my daughter when we went to the store. He sure got NICE all of a sudden when we said her name, Mom…)
Ah, how much a woman after my own heart is the Professor Connie Frigo.
Frigo is featured in this month’s issue of The Saxaphone Journal.
She is also featured in this month’s Almostgotit Family Gallery of Heroes.

Wednesday Woman #3
Superfunny supergenius Sarah Haskins, for her video, Feeding your F—ing Family.
Hat tip to Beyond Help for this video on my favorite (not!) topic, which more politely might be subtitled “How the Media are Messing with Our Mommy Minds.”

Yay Professor Frigo! But when did Kenny G turn into Doctor Who?
Tee-hee on the cow suit … reminds me of My Cousin Vinny for some reason. “The next time I see you in my courtroom, you’d better be wearing a suit! And that suit better be made of some kind of cloth!”
