Loose Ends and Such
I've got too many things that need to be said so it's time for a random sort of list:
-- Christmas Crazy, at this exact moment, stands at $310. Given that you all were so amazing as to come together with around $3000 last year, I'm expecting the same (or more) this year. We've got two weeks left to go, so please and thank you and you're awesome for donating, no matter the amount. It's for the kids!
-- There are some ways you can shop and help Christmas Crazy. There are some super cute barrettes over here and then there are these:
Create your own video slideshow at animoto.com.
Have I ever mentioned that I love Pittsburgh? Yeah.
-- Speaking of Pittsburgh, if you live close enough, I have a pair of Brewfest tickets up for grabs. See that? You give so kids who wouldn't otherwise have gifts under the tree can have a great Christmas and I give you beer. It's like magic!
-- Creating a Facebook Fan Page for this site has always been approximately one notch above French braiding Robin Williams' back hair with my tongue on my No Way In Hell Would I Ever Do It List. Yeah . . . well . . . I hope Robin stays far, far away because I went and did that Facebook thing. I'm posting Christmas Crazy updates there as well as links to all sorts of things that I want to throw at the internet. You are invited to join the party, if you so desire.
-- A few weeks ago I changed the layout of my Photography page and made it a blog. A PHOTOGRAPHY BLOG, PEOPLE. There are a few posts up over there now, with more set to go live soon. There's a separate RSS feed for that part of the world, so if you want to subscribe, here it is.
-- If you see Alexis in the next few days and you happen to hear her say, "Get out of my butt," I'm sorry. She has been watching a weeeee bit too much Toy Story 3 lately. WHOOPS.
-- Speaking of things Alexis has been saying, lately she's been starting her day with a, "I'm going to do whatever you tell me to do, ma'am." She's talking to me when she says it. First of all, WHAAAA? I don't even know what to do with that. I feel like I should start tossing out orders like I would to a dancing monkey, but I'm always stunned silent when it happens. I need ideas people. Bring 'em on.
-- Oh, hey, did you donate to Christmas Crazy yet? Did I mention that it would mean a lot to a lot of people? Yeah, that.

Done. And done.
Remind me again right before it's over and I'll see if the funds are hanging around for more.
Love all you do.
Well, if someone were to come up to me first thing in the morning and say "I'm going to do whatever you tell me ma'am" first I'd smack her for calling me ma'am because I'm not that old. Then I'd ask her to (in no particular order) wash the sheets, vacuum the living room, dust, dust some more, dust even more, mop the kitchen and scrub the baseboards. But that's just me. Also? I don't have kids. And probably with good reason.
I'm going to need to know the exact actions to take to make my kid say "I'm going to do whatever you tell me" please. Where did she get that?! And, how can that same kid also be saying "Get out of my butt?!" What an enigma.
Ohgod, ohgod, ohgod. I will give more money to Christmas Crazy if you promise not to harass me into joining FB, too. Twitter is all I can handle, thanks. ;-)
I fully plan on donating soon as things settle down and I'm certain where my checkbook is at :) I wasn't able to last year and even if it's only a few bucks I REALLY want to get in there!! Keep reminding us (not that you won't anyway ;) )
I totally WISH my girls would wake up and say that...but Angel has been amazingly stunningly helfpul this past week...perhaps the pod people are replacing our children? NAaaaah...we're not that lucky...I mean unfortunate...yes...unfortunate, that's it.
(Glad to see I'm not the only one that went random today)
We''ll be donating as soon as I get a chance to discuss it with Rachel, no doubt.
I love that picture of Alexis, Cody, and Meg. Where is that? It looks like a fabulous place and a fabulous day!

Completely freakin' hysterical. I love the way you think, so twisted, so inane yet you still hit the highlights.
Of course I am scarred forevermore by the image this has burned into my brain.
