Oh So Random

-- I haven't mentioned much about the March of Dimes Walk for Babies, which happens to be this coming Sunday, mostly because I think sometime around mid-April I fell into a black hole and was whooshed across some sort of wrinkle in time that landed me in mid-May. I swear the past month just plain hasn't existed. Anyway, if you have donated, YOU ARE AMAZING. Thank you so much! If not (and you can) every little penny makes a difference. It's all about Maddie and her family, and others like them. No one should have to go through the horror of losing a child.

-- OH WAIT. It wasn't a black hole that sucked away my April, it was the literal hole in our back yard. Thanks to a streak of really amazing weather in early April, I was able to dig out about 85% of what will be a pond. And then it started raining. And it rained some more. And then it rained some more. Any time there was a day that didn't include rain, we either had plans that couldn't be changed or the weather forecast said there was supposed to be rain, so I didn't even try to work outside. Currently, our back yard looks like we are preparing to host the Mud Wrestling Olympics. I'm sure the neighbors are starting to get concerned, but they're going to have to keep suffering because this weekend? MORE FREAKIN RAIN.

(Why, yes, I am trying to jinx the weather into cooperating. Can you really blame me?)

-- There is a giveaway over on the Review page. It's a fun one for anyone with a kid in his or her life, and especially good for those of you with boys. Soon to be joining it is another giveaway, this time a little something from TGIFridays, so keep an eye out. Two words: free appetizers. For bunches of people. OK, so maybe that was six words.

-- It is significantly easier to photograph an insane child than it is to photograph an insane kitten.
