photo challenge & tonight's random laugh

in case you were all wondering, the crock pot chili turned out alright. it was just "alright" because turns out today was sunny & not rainy at all. who wants to eat chili on a day like that? you win some you lose some.

so i'm entering a picture into this week's paper mama photo challenge. sorry the clarity isn't up to par on this one, it was taken with photobooth on the imac so i had to enlarge it a bit. this week's theme is "me & mama."

this is one of my favorite pics of me & my little man. it was taken when he was only two months old, & already you can tell he's super embarrassed by mom smooches. ya better get used to it kid!

to see more pictures of cute babies & their mamas, check out the paper mama's site here:

time for some randomness.

my sister brought this blog to my attention. it narrates the lives of the people that are living in your catalogs, & it's aptly named "catalog living." here's a taste:

it made me laugh anyway... but i'm into that sort of thing, ie: things that are random & funny.

and now for some bloggity related business

first off, i would like to direct your attention to my updated "blog love" page. some of my links weren't working & the buttons were all unorganized & my ocd nature was not ok with that. seriously, the hairs on the back of my neck would rise every time i went to that eyesore of a page. well don't worry friends, it's fixed.

if i missed your blog, let me know! i'd love to put you up. it's a work in progress, fo sho.

and lastly, i couldn't get enough of p-ray in his new skeleton pj's with his zebra friend so i made a seasonal halloween button out of it. feel free to grab it in all its festive glory!
