See the box in the sidebar under “Guest Blog”? Go click there to visit my latest guest, Sparks & Butterflies.

She works for a movie studio in California and has lots of run-ins with celebrities. She’s also very good at articulating the recent weight of emotion she’s been going through with the passing of her somewhat estranged birth mother. Her experiences in life that have led her to the present have been very different from mine, and probably different from yours.

Click over, give her a read and send some good wishes. You’ll be glad you did!

Take a minute and go check out my newest renter: Mama, MAMA COME HERE! (Click through that box on the right with her screenshot in it)

She lives an active life…in her own words:

“I’m a working mother of two boys that are definately all “boy”. Thank God for PMS, how else would I survive that much testosterone?”

Go give her some love because she’s been sick recently and unable to blog a lot.

I’ve been tagged by my Guest Blogger, Erin, whom I have been woefully remiss in introducing. Her site is It’s MY Life, As Uninteresting As It May Be - and it’s anything but uninteresting. See that pretty purple in the box on the right? Go click over there and give her some love. She’s going through a tough time right now with her husband, finances, need of income, changes, and stupid interviewers who don’t understand the term Stay At Home Mom.

Anyway, on with the fun…

1. Football - chaos
2. Airplane - stale
3. Cat - lazy
4. Hug - Button
5. Rain - Ant Bait (umm…that really does make sense. Terminex came today and they put out some Ant Bait and I’m not supposed to water the yard for 2 days…and I’m hoping it doesn’t rain in the meantime)

Anyway, Erin, I highly suggest you give out Matthew as your reference.

Hey y’all - Baggage is having surgery this friday. The invasive cutting-open kind. If you want the details, 9-year old Bug will explain.

So get over there (click the “No Thumbnail Available” box in my sidebar) and send her some good wishes and some super good scrubs before the big day!

I’ve got a new tenant - Baggage That Goes With Mine!

I got a lot of great offers and there were about 4 that I had a hard time choosing between, but I decided to go with Baggage because I discovered her recently and I’ve since developed a total crush on this blog.

She’s funny, she’s witty, she’s thoughtful and she’s full of life.

Want proof? Start with this post and this post. And then go read the current stuff.

And don’t forget to click over there at least once from the box on the side (—–>) because, you know, I get credit for that and stuff.

Blog Explosion is dreadfully behind in updating Thumbnails, so we might be stuck with the “No Thumbnail Available” sign for a while…don’t let that deter you. This is a must-read!
