Wow.  Getting out of bed shook things up a bit, didn’t it?  But they’re not as intense now.  These contractions every 4 minutes aren’t as scary as they sound.  I’m going to read a few of the links that y’all left for me on Wednesday.

A vitamin question from my friend

My real life friend Steph asked,

Hey, Kim!  I hope you can help me with a suggestion.  I like the idea of your Super Mom vitamins, and I desperately need something that can provide more energy.  But I’ve never been able to swallow large pills.  Do you know of any good ones that [...]

Snake update

Texas Rat Snakes are nonvenomous but very aggressive. At nearly 4 feet long, this guy was big enough to do real damage to little feet and legs, yet just small enough to find several convenient ways into our unfinished house in search of fragrant gerbils, so we decided to knock him off the side of [...]

Total lunar eclipse

HT to Amazing Graze Farm for tipping us off about tomorrow’s total eclipse of the moon.  Read about it here, then go check your weather forecast.  We’re expecting a mostly cloudy evening, but we haven’t given up yet.  Maybe God wants us to to see this miracle of His, and maybe it’s not for us.  [...]

I wonder…

Lately I have been wondering, if you put a envelope with your own address as the to address and, say… My address as the return address then dropped it in one of those mailboxes outside of Wal-Mart without any postage, would they “return” it to the “sender” (me) or send it [...]

How to move from Blogger to Wordpress, part 2

Part 1 is here.
If you followed the instructions in part one, you now have a new blog at Wordpress.com. You have explored the options a bit, tampered with the template theme, and begun to consider whether you’ll be staying at Wordpress.com or moving to your own domain.
Either way, you might want to bring over [...]

I’m letting my hair down

But can you guess why?
I’ve been wearing my hair up in a clip since spring, and after many months of habit it became very difficult for me to wear it any other way. The tickling sensation drove me batty!
I finally let myself get talked into letting my hair down last week, and was pleasantly [...]

Carnival of Kid Comedy

Smacking Myself in the Forehead
I did it again - I let the week go flying past and didn’t even take a shot at assigning a guest host for the carnival.
Could some kind soul please rescue me from my lack of planning and just email to tell me when and where I should forward the submissions [...]
