Linking Friday Fill-in Miscellanea

Karen at Verbatim posted a link to this article from Mother Jones that I think all parents should read as we get into sunscreen season.

...in which I brag about my kids...

• Brandon recently received a recommendation to watch Monty Python's Flying Circus from a friend. I'm so devastated. Did you feel that overwhelming sense of sarcasm streaming through your monitor? Michael added it to the Netflix queue and moved it to the top. I suppose I shall have to watch it with them... My life is so hard. There goes that Sar Casm again -  he sure is a persistent fellow...
  

• The other day Michael was on the computer and turned the remote over to the kids. He looked up to find that they had turned on the Food Network.

• Brandon aced his TAKS test: Reading 100%, Math 100%, Writing 96% (he missed one question). He got straight A's the last two six weeks and several BUG (Bring Up Grades) awards throughout the year, as well as an all A average for the year.

• Sarah got all A's every six weeks this year. Her final grades for the year were all 99 and one 98. She also got a medal for Accelerated Reading. She was the 11th top reader in the 1st grade.

• Bethany has been counting backwards from five with Team Umizoomi. And still refuses to use the bathroom, even though she knows how and when, but that's not bragging, that's bemoaning.
  

...in which I tease you about coming content...

I have several reviews and/or giveaways coming up including:

• Yoplait Greek Yogurt

• Where is God? by John Townsend

• EarDoc

• “Beautiful Creatures – Children’s songs of Africa by Ed Jordan and Alan Glass”

And now for a fill-in...

• 
  Watermelon -- the best food to take on a picnic.

• Summer has officially begun here - Heaven help me.

• 
  I love my flip flops.

• To love someone is to choose what is best for them, regardless of your own desires or the pain it may involve.

• 
  You're out of your mind if you think I'm going to take a long hike.

• When I crave food, it's usually something I don't have in the house or fruit that is totally out of season.

• And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to having all the kids home instead of at Grandma's house, tomorrow my plans include a campfire sing along vespers in the evening and Sunday, I want to work on my apron for the 2010 flirty apron swap and write a review/giveaway post!

Hey, Check This Out

[caption id="attachment_4189" align="alignleft" width="182" caption=" "]

[/caption]

I swear to you I laugh out loud every time I read a post from Fighting Off Frumpy. Rita is one fununny woman. Who happens to be a mom. Who happens to deal with poop. A lot. Yeah, the link's been over there in my sidebar for a while, but I'm using that Mommy Intuition mojo that tells me you haven't gone to check it out, so, Hey - Check It Out Already!

Karen over at Verbatim (also in my library list over there that you haven't acted upon) is also a funny read. Her unnatural fear of bugs makes for great Twitter fodder. Just ask her about the ginormous bug that invaded her office not too long ago.  Well, besides being funny, Karen is also thoughtful and posts about ways that she and her family help people (cool) and links to other cool and funny sites. Case in point: thx thx thx, in which Leah thanks everything from strangers to inanimate objects every day, and Pleated-Jeans, in which Jeff is funny about everything from ogres to Lost. Be warned: Christianity is not immune to Jeff, so if that offends you... well, then you take yourself too seriously.

I have a lunch date everyday. Well, kind of.  Jaime posts from Prudent Baby everyday around lunch time (I'm guessing that quiet second during nap time at her house), so I get to get my crafty fix then. She's a tutorial maven, and if I ever unbury my sewing machine I'll be stealing making a bunch of stuff from Her Prudentness. And yes, she's on my library list that you haven't read, too.

2010 Vintage Apron Winner

[caption id="attachment_4180" align="alignleft" width="160" caption=" "]

[/caption]

After a heart-stopping fiasco with the database and my husband's heroic recovery of every post, page, and media file I've uploaded since 2005, I can now tell you that we have a winner of this year's vintage apron giveaway.

Veronica Garrett is the lucky winner that will get an apron because...
My mother always wore an apron on the kitchen. I would love to wear a retro apron.

I've sent an e-mail to Miss Veronica, who has 48 hours to respond before I'm forced to pick another winner.

Congratulations, Veronica!

And for those of you that didn't win, I've decided to make this an annual giveaway since it's been so popular both times I've done it. Mark your calendar for next year to come win your vintage apron!

Meme's birthday Friday Fill-in

Sunday is my grandmother's birthday. She's an awesome woman and an awesome cook and I'm blessed to have her in my life.

1. I just had an awesome pedicure. Then again, it's only like the second or third pedicure I've ever gotten, so any pedicure is awesome to me.

2. The way you allow it to be by either standing by or advocating for change is the way it is.

3. The third sentence on the 7th page of the book I'm reading: a mystery, because I'm between books at the moment.

4. A pair of comfy pants like the Turkish Harem pants I got in the mail today from Urban Prairie Girl tickles my fancy.

5. I was walking through WalMart with my hair wrapped and getting stared at by ignorant, bigoted people.

6. A person that thinks too highly of him or her self makes me laugh!

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to sweet sleep, tomorrow my plans include having pot roast with my family to celebrate Meme's birthday and Sunday, I want to watch my kids get their Pioneer Club badges!

Mother's Day Link Along

[caption id="attachment_4145" align="alignleft" width="244" caption="Pancake Artist Extraordinaire"]

[/caption]

I thought I'd share some of the neat things I've discovered this week. Well, not that I "discovered" per se, but it's new to me.

As if the logo for the blog header weren't awesome enough, this guy makes flowers, penquins, and even giraffes from pancake batter. Just wait 'till you see the crane! It's a relatively new blog, but Jim's Pancakes is one I'll be keeping an eye on.

[caption id="attachment_4148" align="alignright" width="104" caption=""bow ties are cool""]

[/caption]

According to the Telegraph News of the UK, Doctor Who has caused an upswing in bow tie popularity. Ironically enough, I read not one but two tutorials on making bow ties this week! For those of you that are more old-school, here's a bow tie that you tie (complete with video tutorial on tying it); for the convenience-loving, here's a pre-tied bow tie.

[caption id="attachment_1717" align="alignleft" width="214" caption="My favorite apron style"]

[/caption]

The Monday after Mother's Day is National Wear Your Apron Day. I have several to choose from, 'cuz I'm weird like that, you know. There's an awesome article called Apron Evangelism that renewed my love of aprons several years ago. And just to prove that I'm not as weird as you think (okay, I probably am, but not because of this), check out The Apronista - an entire blog dedicated to aprons!

Don't have one to celebrate? I've got a few to spare, so I'm giving one away! You'll be all set for next year's celebration with your very own vintage apron.

*Mandatory Entry*: Leave a comment telling me why you want an apron. Did your mother or grandmother wear one? Are you a messy cook? Retro cool?
