I'm not even watching the last couple of episodes of All My Children

It's eleven o'clock, and I've just finished the last of my three Parents.com entries for the week. My husband is playing video games in the living room because I'm parked in front of the computer, and I still have to pack for my weekend camping trip, which will require me to haul my ass out the door tomorrow morning at a time earlier than my normal arrival to work. I'm tired of writing until one o'clock in the morning and Luke falling asleep without me, so in the interest of preserving my sanity and my marriage, I'm taking the rest of the night off.

I'll aim to post the second half of my BlogHer recount on Monday, and I'm skipping TLF this week. To pass the time, check out the goodness that is my Parents blog if you haven't already. The set-up is a bit different, requiring readers to register with the site before commenting, and I can't have comments e-mailed to me, so I'm feeling a bit disconnected from those who've been nice enough to respond. If there's a topic you've wanted to comment on over there but for some reason weren't able to, tell me about it here.

Have a fantabulous weekend.

I found AMC BORING the past couple days. Seriously. I am over the following: Ava, Greenlee, and I was over Josh, but I went to a concert tonight and a cute Josh lookalike stood next to me, so I think I'm giving him another chance.

Also, why does Kendall's second baby get to have a real name when her first son's name is Spike. I thought we'd eventually get to know his real name?

I'm impressed that you can watch AMC every day. As much as I love Days and Passions, I never could sit through every episode...there's just so much repetition. You are a truly devoted person, An inspiration, if you will.

Geez, I really hope you are able to rest and relax this weekend. Sound like you really need it.

Have a good weekend and have fun on your camping trip!

I've checked out your Parents.com blog a couple of times, and there was one that I wanted to leave a comment on but was too lazy to register and all that. It was the one where you wrote about parenting books. I had a similar post a couple of weeks ago, you might remember. I just wanted to say (and I hope this isn't assvice, I'm just saying) that, even though I took an anti-book stance, there are some books that have been very helpful to me. I like the "Dummies" books because they are strictly informative. If you pick one up, you read what you were looking to read. They don't throw in crazy stuff about how dangerous hairspray is or how awful it is to NOT breastfeed (unless you pick up a copy of Hairspray Dangers for Dummies, but then you had it coming, right?)And they're not pushy at all. I've read about 4 of them, and they've been great.

Have a great weekend!

So I was just wondering, because maybe I missed it. Did you find out the gender of your baby?! Because I've noticed a few times you've referred to the baby as a 'her'. I'm all ansy now, haha!

You are just a writing machine sister! I don't know how you find time to write and do the ten zillion other things you do in a day, in addition to working full time. I truly look up to you and admire you. I love you so much and it was fun camping this weekend with you and the family. ;)
