I’m… just checking something. Please humour me.

That right there is a really poorly-taken photo of my belly. Plus a bit of my (blue, but in this photo for some reason, purple) underpants.
Can you see the incipient bruise? Look hard. See it now?
I made it myself. As I was dashing out the door this morning (late, as usual), I managed to somehow [...]

In a parallel universe, this would be me.
Yep, if thirteen-year-old me had gotten her way, *I* would be the one giving birth to seven-pound babies while my husband was on his Dancing With The Stars tour.

My blog is worth $10,161.72.How much is your blog worth?

I love getting mail. Real mail, I mean, not flyers and bills (sure, sure, bills are actually real mail, but… not really). This is why I am totally loving being a member of Swap-Bot. There’s nothing like getting a package in the mail and tearing it open to find stuff! Stuff for me! Hooray!
