Today for my short ornery post I can't think of anything in particular to write, so I might just repoint you to my post of my old favorite books I did last week, since obviously some of you have forgotten to read it, and Jessie responded thinking it was an Old post, so maybe I should remind everyone that I do not consider it an old post and would ( Read more... )

So I just stumbled upon it and saw that the One Book Every Young Child website has indeed been updated for the Penguin book, and they redesigned it and it looks awesome. At least the main page does.

He's PRACTICING sitting but is by no means an expert at it yet, and I swear he blew me a kiss today, and that's his update ( Read more... )

Hey, I just had an AWESOME PEACH. I didn't realize they were in season quite enough yet to be as good as all that. Granted it wasn't quite ripe when I bought it on Saturday, but it's been in a brown paper bag since. I was excited by how awesome it was. Bad peaches are so sucky, but good peaches rock the world ( Read more... )

Huh... so I've just been exchanging emails with one of the "popular" girls from high school (granted, one of the popular girls I was most FRIENDS with of the type, considering we were in almost all the same extracurriculars, not counting cheerleading of course) in regards to our approaching (in september) ten year reunion.
