Last night I sent out this tweet: I don't know the last time I attended a social event at night. When I became a mom, my friends and I meet up for dinner and dessert (no drinks as most of us are still breastfeeding) and we're done by 10pm. But last night was different.

In the 90s, I remember when we first got cable that one of the shows I watched constantly was The Oprah Winfrey Show. I got hooked because of the real life stories, the cry fest and of course Oprah’s favorite things (grabe lang!)
