Funny!

Bohemian Rhapsody as performed by 25 different distinctive (he says annoying, but I'd just say very recognizable) artists.

Wanna win a gift basket?

Go take a peek at this post over at 4 Reluctant Entertainers. Share with her in the comments whether you maintain a gift closet (organized!) or rush out to find something when the need for a gift arises (she uses "last-minute shopper" to describe that, but I'd save that for the folks who do that on their way to the recipient's house/party/whatever, hee!). If you have a blog, post the about the giveaway (like...oh...this!), and/or tweet about it, for extra entries.

It's a lovely blog, too - one of those I follow. :)

Go enter!

And this.

I like this too.

It's the most wonderful time of the yeeeear....

Nono. Not summer, I mean. I am not a summer fan, really.

This year's "Christmas with Southern Living" book arrived today. :) Happy camper.

(Kiddos are pretty pleased too - their "Maisy" DVD arrived today as well. They cut short their outside activities in order to watch it instead - and with the heat being what it is down here, I was actually rather in favor of that. I wish they would have decided that BEFORE I put sunblock and insect repellent on them, but oh well. And I should note - these are kiddos who much prefer playing outside to watching a DVD inside.)

Happy.

We had a busy day yesterday; in amongst the other running-around we were doing, I decided just to take the kiddos to McDonald's for lunch. Ours has a play area, so it was a good chance for them to run/climb off some steam. Calla did finally figure out how to pull herself up on the triangular platform steps, so she was ALL OVER the play stuff - when told it was time to go, though, she came down and was ready.

Note: I do not take credit for this because of any awesome parental skillz. I know her better than that, LOL. She was just ready. Probably helped that we were going to be heading over to see their grandparents.

Anyhow, from the various toys the kiddos in the play area had, it looked like our McD's was getting rid of the Night at the Museum toys - not everyone had the same thing. But behold, in one of the kiddos' Happy Meals was the coveted (by me!) Einstein figure. Which I commandeered. Without a single twinge of guilt. Okay, so the kiddos really didn't seem to care, so it didn't really matter...

I have my Einstein guy. I am officially pleased.
