 Hey look at me keeping up with the blog, kind of. I need positive reinforcement here! Good job, Anastasia for posting one real blog and then a bunch of links. Good job. Thank you! Geez, sometimes you just need a little acknowledgment. 

On that note, I think you are all awesome. Whatever you are doing..blogging, parenting, sitting on the couch eating potato chips. Good job. So proud. Really. 

And oh yeah. Happy Mother's Day!

Nothing Compares to Me

Check me out. It's all Sinead O' Conner up in our house. So I got bored and shaved my head. This was actually about two months ago, I just haven't updated much lately. It's finally growing into an actual haircut so that's a relief. I've always wanted to shave my head but never had the courage and then I just up and did it. Luckily my husband is the best and supports all my decisions. Even the slightly manic, not well thought out ones.

Sweet Weekly Links 5/5

My 6 year old's teacher said she is reading at a third grade level. It's nice to know she gets more then just her clumsiness and smart mouth from me. We're potty training...very..very...slowly. How's it going in your neck of the woods?

Just finished a book called Just Listen, by Sarah Dessen. It was fantastic. I read it in one day almost non stop. (Stupid life getting in the way of reading time.) Seriously, read it.
 Started another of hers, Someone Like You, and was like, man this plot is familiar. Turns out How To Deal, the Many Moore movie was based on this and another of hers. I've always like the movie, I'll let you know about the book.

 Wow, long time no see. This week has sucked. CISPA, bombings, explosions. So next week will be better, I insist on it. So make it so!

I've been doing P90X. Which consists of me doing girl push-ups and laughing at myself. Also feeling like an asshole when the guy with the prosthetic leg shows me up consistently. Such is life.

 Bacon Ranch Cheese Ball. Three of my favorite words. Ball's good too, but it doesn't hold up to the other three. Also saying ball makes me giggle like a 12 year old. Most undignified.
