Ahh, blessed, blessed Saturday. I adore myself some Saturday. Of course, so far it has been less than relaxing, as judging by the lateness of this post (I swear, I’ve been working on it since 9am!). I’ve had to talk on the phone, change diapers, feed babies, feed myself, run here, do that, fix this… whew! But the good news is I have some great posts. We’re back to a shorter list this week, but that doesn’t mean that these posts aren’t just as fabulous. Because they totally are. So take a break from watching Michael Phelps win ANOTHER gold medal and read these! (Because I told you to, that’s why.)
- This entire post borders on TMI, you’ve been warned from Rhi in Pink. I adore Rhi. Have I told you all that? I’m sure I have. She’s just about the sweetest thing ever. She had surgery this week, which was kinda scary for her but she made it out okay. Still, she got some news that can’t be making her too happy. Go give her some loves, will ya?
- Guest Post: Vivian on Christianity and Liberalism from MOMocratsTM. YES! I have a bumper sticker that says “I’m a Christian and a Democrat” on it. Why is that so unusual these days? More power to those of us who are caught between what has become two cultures.
- Some Surprise from Jonniker. Yeah, I totally knew. So no surprise for me. STILL, I was so happy to read it (and to realize that I was right because despite what I tell my husband, I’m not ALWAYS right) and I am sending the very best vibes right her way.
- Best push up bra? Really? from Sarcastic Mom. Lotus gives us an example of an extremely poor and entirely creepy PR email that she recieved and I have goosebumps just reading it. of course, reading her reply made me laugh until my side hurt a little bit so that made up for the goosebumps. When are they going to get a clule?
- The Birds and the Rigbys from The Spohrs Are Multiplying. There’s a lot of funny this week. I think this is to sort of make up for the sad, serious posts from weeks past. This post cracked me up (and it comes with video!). Who doesn’t love to read a love tale between a dog and her stuffed eagle?
- There and Back Again - The REAL Mythical Hobbit’s Tale, An Unexpected POOF from The Queen of Shake-Shake. OH my STARS, I laughed so hard. I love to see a story of lost pets end happily, even though it does remind me of losing our beloved Shadow four years ago. Heh. Mythical hobbits.
- The Occupational Hazard of Being Near Me from Surrender, Dorothy. I feel a definite connection to Rita on this one because I feel the same way. I can’t NOT blog and I don’t want to hurt anyone’s feelings but it seems to come with the territory, unfortunately. I would just hope that anyone reading understands that it’s not really personal, but this is MY journey. As are all of ours. Thanks, Rita.
- A hiatus for my birthday from Poot and Cubby. It seems EVERYONE is taking an internet break right now, doesn’t it? I’m going to miss Andi’s voice while she’s taking a break (and Happy Belated Birthday too!). I’ve felt rather the same post-BlogHer but I don’t think I’m ready to take a break just yet.
- Don’t Hate Me Because I’m Beautiful. Or Insane from Wiping Up Snot. We all have our weird little quirks and Karly is no different. The thing about the celery just sorta freaks me out, if we are being honest here. Still, I laughed and laughed hard so maybe you will too.
We don’t have anything major on tap for the weekend. In fact, I don’t know if we’re even planning to leave the house today. We’ve got some chores to attend to. Which, I realize, is about the last way you want to spend the weekend, but… whatever. I’m not going to complain. So what are your plans? You know, other than watching Michael Phelps eat China?
