    Drinking too many fruity martinis; hacking George Clooney’s home security system; assisting African bank managers who were kind enough to include me in claiming the millions of dollars abandoned in their banks; fielding restraining orders from George Clooney; watching educational TV shows like “How Do I Look?” and "The Girls Next Door"; playing my viola, Herbie Kirby; reveling in my own coolness, as anyone who names her viola “Herbie Kirby” would do; having deep conversations with my two “big boned” Himalayan cats, Marcy and Matty; rapping Salt-n-Pepa’s “Shoop” on karaoke night; feeding my inexplicable addiction to sushi; kicking ass and taking names in Scrabble.

About me:

Humorist Candy Kirby is the founder, publisher and chief waste management technician for The Laughing Stork, an online column and video blog exploring pregnancy, parenting and the fine art of transforming a beer keg into a Diaper Genie. A former television writer and pop culture blogger, Candy is now an expectant first-time mother suffering from severe margarita withdrawals. So if readers should come across a dangling preposition or, heaven forbid, wonder why she hasn’t posted the celebrity baby bump du jour, please do not send a nasty e-mail until Candy finishes tapping the Diaper Genie. Also be sure to label the subject heading “Nasty E-mail,” so she knows not to open it. Prior to launching The Laughing Stork, Candy was a professional job hopper in Corporate America, having worked at several top public relations agencies in New York City, as well as in brand management for the Fortune 50 Company, Boeing, in Seal Beach, Calif. She then took the next logical step in her marketing career to become a staff writer for the CBS daytime drama, “The Bold and the Beautiful,” where she penned many scripts featuring prolonged heated stares and countless “Who’s the Daddy?” story lines. However, nothing on television could rival the juicy real-life drama of becoming a parent, so Candy decided to publish her own Web site about the journey and other news that her cats think is blog-worthy. Candy has a Master of Science degree from Northwestern University’s Medill School of Journalism, just outside of Chicago. Born and raised in another major city, Mechanicsburg, Pa., Candy now resides in Los Angeles with Mr. Candy and their two "big-boned" Himalayan cats. Yes, Candy is her real name. No, she has never been a stripper, prostitute or Scottish Terrier. Can’t believe everything you see in the movies, people. Except that all telephone numbers begin with the digits 555. That’s true. Candy loves to hear from readers. Feel free to e-mail her about borrowing her trendy get-up (you know you want it!) at Candy@TheLaughingStork.com or call The Laughing Stork hotline at 555-4321.

Who I'd like to meet:
