The Winner Takes It All
June 10th, 2010
Three things, the most important of which is a winner:
1) My parents are coming to visit this weekend, and I’m super-excited, because they haven’t seen Sam since her birthday (the longest they’ve ever gone without seeing her!) and in that time, she’s transformed into a PERSON. With words and everything! Not a ton of words, but you know. She’s ONE. I love having my parents visit, because, well, I love my parents, so there’s that. They always leave before we want them to, explaining that they’ve overstayed their welcome or such nonsense, when honestly, they could stay for a MONTH and I wouldn’t be tired of it. It does make me wonder, however, if they think WE’VE stayed too long when we’re there longer than four days? And how they’re going to feel with me being there for like, a REALLY LONG TIME before BlogHer, with the end of the visit culminating with a weekend-long babysitting fest with my very active PITA daughter? WHAT SAY YOU, MOM AND DAD?
However. I just realized that their visit means that I won’t be watching the season premiere of True Blood live. HORROR. HORROR. HORROR. I mean, I’ll get over it and it’s worth it, but all of you will be watching Eric naked (I HEAR HE IS NAKED IN THE FIRST EPISODE) and I’ll be totally unaware.
2) We have a winnah! Well, TWO winnahs! (More on that below.) But if you didn’t win, and this, sadly, is most of you, the book is available lots of places! And today, I was on their blog talking about, what else, True Blood. You can take a gander at a sample of my essay, too.
3) Winnahs! So I did the Random Number Generator thing, and I couldn’t figure out how to get it to show up here, and while I sort of suck and I’m so sorry about that, PLEASE know that I am telling the truth here. In fact, I’ll tell you that the first time I ran the numbers, my own comment showed up and … well, I don’t need to win my own book. And the winners are … #9 and #50. So Terri and Wendy, hit me up with your addresses, and books will be heading your way directly from our friends at Smart Pop!
Have a great weekend!

Dude, going to BlogHer is the only thing getting me through this move to Nowhere Land of No Friends and No Mommy.
Also, if you think she’s a PITA now, you better have another kid soon to distract you from the PITA she’s gonna be very soon.

I emailed you about overstaying our welcome after 4 days and can I just say I hadn’t read this yet. GET OUT OF MY HEAD.
Also, August. It is so close. I cannot wait.

Oh, I envy your relationship with your parents. I’m glad you enjoy them and hope you all have a wonderful visit!
We don’t get HBO (or whatever True Blood is on) but it sounds like I need to rent it. I love my weekly TV shows but get easily overwhelmed when I have an entire series to watch at once.

I guess that to get the loan from banks you must present a firm motivation. However, one time I’ve got a small business loan, just because I wanted to buy a bike.

Mostly what I gathered from rearing two kids is that anything is baby food if it’s unseasoned and mushed up enough. Aim for fruits, veges, whole grains and lean meats.

8.That is known that cash makes people autonomous. But how to act if someone doesn’t have cash? The one way is to receive the personal loans and just student loan.
