fun. crazy. life.

I was given this very nice award from Jenny at Chased By Children like three weeks ago. And I am just now getting around to posting about it. Maybe I should be winning a giant “L” for “Lazy!”

So now I will share the love with…..
Mel over at A Box of Chocolates - She is not only a mom, but somehow has the energy to be an elementary school teacher at the same time. Seriously. She deserves a box of chocolates. Or two.
And Misty at Rainy Day in May. Because she is a great writer. And she’s fun. And she has bravely just decided to start homeschooling her daughter.

Scientists have finally decided that “Pregnancy does cause memory loss.” See? See!?!?! Its not just in my head!

Michelle over at Scribbit is giving away a brand new Evenflo car seat this weekend! Go enter! And send it to me when you win!

If you haven’t been reading BooMama and Rocks in my Dryer this week, you are truly missing out. They are both blogging from Uganda, where they are on a trip with Compassion. Go read this. And especially this - this one made me cry.

WantNot.net - love this site!! - has this post about how much money to spend on groceries. And it has a great link to an article in the Wall Street Journal about buying organic - what’s worth it and what’s not. I know that’s something I’m always internally debating. (Although, being pregnant, my internal debates are more like “organic cheetos or regular cheetos? Humm….”)

I really, really hope that Starbucks really does this! Wouldn’t that be awesome!?!??! $1 coffee with free refills at Starbucks? I may never drink water (or sleep) again!!!

And I think we can all relate to this post by Mir at Woulda, Coulda, Shoulda.

I sent The Shakespeare Insult Kit out to my family this week and we have been trading insults ever since:
“You beslubbering fen-sucked clack-dish!”
“Whatever, you reeky fat-kidneyed clot-pole!!”
Its quite fun. Try it.

Beth at I Should Be Folding Laundryhad an exciting announcement. Funny blog posts are sure to follow.

Christie over at These are a few of my favorite things has shared her brilliant system for organizing her kids routines!

And - I almost forgot this one - BooMama posted a new brownie recipe for “Symphany Brownies” in this post, ironically about overeating. Recipe goes like this:
“You prepare your favorite brownie mix, pour half of it in the baking dish, top with Hershey’s Symphony Bars with Almonds and Toffee, pour the other half of the brownie mixture on top of the candy bars, and bake according to package directions. Then eat, praise Jesus, and repeat.”
I made this for Bible Study on Wednesday and every single person there was raving - raving - about these brownies and asking for the recipe. Oh, my stars, I will never make ordinary brownies ever again. But its got me thinking… what else could I crumble into the centers of my brownies?
