2) Work is suddenly a lot busier. Not sure whether this will lead to more or less blogging over the next month. You'd think less for sure, but for some reason it sometimes has the opposite effect on me. Maybe being busier whips my lazy butt into gear? Or maybe I just savor my outside of work projects (like this blog) more during busy times? Haven't figured this one out yet.
3) Share your sites. What do you read for fun? Food, sports, design, parenting, crafty, whatever? Here are 3 sites I like. Please give me something good in return.
- Ain't No Mom Jeans: A website about fashion that's still practical for moms. (Although I don't meet their standards often, since I have an even stronger preference for "practical" as well as "lazy.") This site's well written and strays from fashion into topics such as raising kids in a hypersexualized world, and how to make heads or tails of the new sunscreen information. [I recommend reading this sunscreen thing whether you're a parent or not. Newsflash: your current sunscreen may secretly be evil. Great.]
- Girl's Gone Child: The blog of totally rad L.A. mother, Rebecca Woolf. By my standards she's young and hip, and a great writer to boot. You'll find thought-provoking things admidst style tips, music suggestions and personal anecdotes.
- Awkward Family Photos: I think the name says it all. Hilarious.

I love Awkward Family Photos. Thanks for reminding me to check it out again. It's been too long!
This is great because I need to broaden my work distraction blog reading. Here is what currently distracts me:
Apartment Therapy www.apartmenttherapy.com I mainly look at the photos and it's great right now as I get ready to move and want some new decorating and organization ideas.
Oh Happy Day
www.jordanferney.blogspot.com Maggie turned me on to this site. Again, lovely pictures of inspiring rooms and pretty things.
Once Wed
www.oncewed.com
Beautiful and creative wedding ideas. I like it because the photos can inspire other things like party or home decorating ideas.
Spencer Tweedy's Blog
www.spencertweedy.com
Spencer is Jeff Tweedy's teenage son. I love Wilco so it's fun to get a glimpse of what goes on in the Tweedy household. It's also nice to know that there are good, creative kids out there.
Oh yeah, add Design Sponge to my list too. Pretty, pretty, pretty.

www.kitchenstewardship.com It appeals to my hippie spiritual nature... it's a catholic lady who is all into green cleaning, food, etc.
http://crockpot365.blogspot.com
This lady did crockpot meals for an entire year. I haven't loved all of them, but I am always up for trying something new in the crock pot.
Jessica - The Tweedy's live like 6 blocks from me in some undisclosed direction, but Spencer (formerly known to me as 'the son of the Wilco guy') is friends with some kids who live behind me, and the drummer from Wilco just moved in next door to my friend Sarah (I will pounce and become great friends with his wife this summer - she's due to have a baby like any minute). Oh, and 2 years ago, Spencer Tweedy and his teenage band performed at our summer block party. So funny. Everyone knows more about Wilco than I do, perhaps that will keep me from being starstruck when I meet them sometime...
Beth - I did not know this stuff?!?! Crazy.
Maggie - I just passed on the crockpot link to a friend who just got one and is in a huge crockpot phase. Awesome. I am also loving the hippie kitchen one. Thanks!
Jessica - I'll add Oh Happy Day into the rotation. Loved her son's closet room.
Wow Beth! I would certainly be starstruck...Bobby and I do have a Wilco AND Jeff Tweedy poster in our living room. Sounds like you live in a very cool neighborhood!
