Science is Weird.

Dear Mr. Clean Magic Eraser,

I find you to be both amazing and creepy at the same time.

You help me with all sorts of problems around the house.

Most recently, cleaning off the kicks.
 
 



I appreciate this immensely, as now they look like new.

And yet – you disintegrate into nothing, and this bothers me.

Love,
Me

Thank Goodness for Bloggers . . .

. . . because someone needs to write consistently for the internet.  
I like to read blogs.
I actually like writing this one.
I just can’t seem to regularly make time to write.
I will continue to battle that.
But if you’re looking for something to read in the meantime, here are a few of my favorite bloggers, and links to some of my favorite posts from them.
And I’ll continue to try to get my shite together more often.

MySavvy Boys – Not only is my friend K Savvy an excellent writer, her boys are amazing and hilarious and provide her with great material. She has so many great posts, so I’ve decided to share a couple:
§  Perfect insight into my good friend Krystyne- http://www.mysavvyboys.com/2012/01/little-more-homework-to-do.html
TheBloggess – This post made me want to be this woman’s friend. When I need a random laugh, and the Savvy family doesn’t have any updates, I go here. Prepare to become obsessed with finding giant metal chickens. http://thebloggess.com/2011/06/and-thats-why-you-should-learn-to-pick-your-battles/

Momastery – A great “mommy” blog – that’s not just about being a mom. Her insight into humanity is quite inspiring. Some might find some of her stuff a little “churchy” . . . but the heartfelt kindness and grace flows through without judgment. http://momastery.com/blog/2012/03/26/for-trayvon/

Anthology – This is my favorite little shop in Madison. I’ve taken (dragged?) all friends and visitors downtown just to visit this hidden gem. The owner also makes me think, whether about the pitfalls of Pinterest (which opened my eyes and saddened me at the same time), or inspired me to keep paying attention to the political hotbed that is our state political system. I heart them.

CurlyGirl Design – LOVE the curly girl, and not just because I want to ask her for hair product advice. Thoughtful and creative, her posts always hit the spot! I also feel good about buying her cards if I can't make my own, or find them to have the perfect sentiment.
Apparently I read a lot of blogs. I’ll stop here for now, and make a promise to share some more in the future.
