Two nights ago, my 4 year old son sleepily turned to me and said, "Mom, when I grow up, I'm going to marry my cute little blanket."

Last night we couldn't find his cute little blanket so he used another one. After that pathetic attempt at sleeping, I'm thinking marrying a blanket is not such a bad idea.

    I'm with your son.
    My cute little blanket is 6'4" and quite hairy. I married him.

    my husband had a blanket when he was little, A lady made it for him and it was like 5 feet long. He would drag it around everywhere and it looked alot like that. His mom cut it in half one day and Chase has NEVER forgiven her for it. When we first got married he still had a corner of it tucked in his pillowcase, but I don't know where it is now.

    We all probably have a story like this. My son Shon's blankie looked exactly like this. We would cut a little piece of it off each day and after a few weeks it had just disappeared. He did get used to it being gone but it was gradual.

    Crap, madness indeed. I know you joined, and I know I told you thanks after your vegetable garden blog. Forgive me- I have 4 children and little to no sleep. If it will help with the forgiveness I'll accept those vegetables C.O.D. at my doorstep.

I am being published!

I know! It just reeks of excitement, doesn't it?  I know what you are thinking. "Who would publish that woman's thoughts?" The answer is a lovely little outfit called www.blog2print.com. In other words, I haven't been discovered. I am no closer to being a published author than I was yesterday EXCEPT that by Christmas I will be the proud owner of my very own blog book! I know. It's a little anticlimactic but here's the cool part. My friend, Becki, found me entertaining and directed me to a blog called www.josikilpack.blogspot.com.  She posted a little coupon code for 20% off which was supposed to end last week. Apparently, the code is still good and I saved $14. That said, you know it isn't exactly the cheapest way to get published but it's the best price I could find on publishing my blog!  And it requires very little technical know-how.  And that, my friends, tickles my heart. And, for a small price of your integrity and dignity, I will share the ...

Wordful Wednesday and Clever Much? Rarely!

Sometimes my brilliance blinds me! Speaking of brilliance, before we continue this discussion, if you are my mother in law, stop reading. Walk away. At least until after Christmas. Seriously. My own mother doesn't read my blog. I think it has something to do with words like "socially awkward" and "mortifying." She knows me. She doesn't have to read about me. She can just pretend like I turned out normal. Anyway, if the mother-in-law has exited the website, check out what she's getting for Christmas! TADA! I'd like to give a special shout out to the internet and whatever site I was cruising through last week for planting this idea into my head. Usually not this creative and I definitely don't know where I got the energy to take the kids out for pictures. Or go to Walmart for the frame. And Robert's for the mat. Costco for the pictures.  Yeah, I painted the frame, too. So not my style. Anymore. I also ordered a canvas print for my husband but I...
