Whassup?

  • My college roommate had her first baby yesterday! She and her husband named their daughter Cecelia, which I LOVE. Everyone is fine.
  • Helen is sick and just licked my face, so you can see where that's going to go.
  • Scott and I played matchmaker for two of our friends last night and are now, you know, wondering when we'll be invited to the wedding and mentioned in the toast.
  • Courtney Cox-Arquette is now on my poo list. Life is so hard for celebrities. (Thanks to Janeen for the link.)
  • It's time to dig out the winter gear and figure out what fits which kid and what we need to buy. *sigh*
  • Have you signed your preschooler(s) up for Dolly Parton's Imagination Library? I just did, and you should, too. FREE BOOKS for children through age 5! One free book a month! The program is available in the US, Canada, and the UK. [Edit: If it's not yet available in your area, suggest it to your local United Way or other organization.]

  1. OMG, it is so hard to be a celebrity. All those pesky regular children around. They have allergies and everything. I mean, if you are rich and famous, you are entitled to do every single thing you want to do.

  2. i hate courtney now too! (i never really loved her to begin with so this wasnt much of a stretch.) not only was the allergy comment deplorable but she just sounded like a spoiled whiny idiot. seriously, was she complaining about how hard it is to get her kid to school on time?!?! give me a break!

    i tried to sign up for the Dolly thing but there was no sponsor in my area. poo!

  3. Tammie--Our local United Way sponsors ours. You should send an email suggesting it to yours.

  7. Hi! Ugh - the allergy comment is so frustrating! Not helpful Courtney!

    FYI have you heard of Surf Sweets? www.surfsweets.com They cam to my attention via a nut-allergy blogger but look safe for milk allergy too, don't know how expensive they are, but thought I'd mention it. They carry some things that have proved very difficult for us to find nut-free versions of!

  12. That's my God daughter's little sister's name - Cecelia and I LOVE it, too!!!

    I had to X out the Courtney Cox thing after I started reading some of the comments. Is it possible to have high blood pressure at 24???

    Awesome for the books! I'll pass that on! :)

  13. Oh *grumble* all those PESKY allergic kids and the silly rules created to KEEP THEM ALIVE. Pshhh. Somebody better break it gently to Courtney that her kid probably won't be allowed to smoke or get into knife fights in school either.

  15. I like Jewels comments:) Knife fights...that was funny:) I had that whole thing on the blog then deleted it because I was afraid of the comments it would get. But it made it's way to Facebook anyway. I figured my "friends" wouldn't flame me, right? Her show was on last night and I just channel surfed right through it=)
    I'm off to check out the books.... LOVE books!!
