Yesterday, I took the offspring to what's known collectively as "the outside mall." It boasts a super sweet underground sprinkler system in the center, so we got her all suited up and sent her into the water while I sat uncomfortable and sweaty along the sidelines. I hate to sweat. It makes me angry. But I think I browned a little, so...bonus.
I hope while I was telling this incredibly LAME story, you were busy ignoring me, typing up your bestest Imma do Candyland better than Candyland contest entry. Times a wastin', and you DON'T want to miss the chance to win one of THREE query critiques from the lovely Miss Elana Johnson. When you're done with (what's soon to be known as) super-amazing-blog post entry, take a mosey over to Matthew's blog where Elana's query is up for public consumption. You'll then see why I *heart* her brilliance so much.
Side note: Check out this crazy/hysterical site, Shit my kids ruined. It had me laughing forfreakingever.
Random Fact: I once dropped my glasses in the toilet at a strip club. There's so many things wrong with that sentence, I know...
Random Fact: When I was 12, I weighed close to 200lbs. YIKES! This is very true. I have an "I love Steven Tyler" shirt that I got at that weight, and over the years as I shrank, I cut the shirt down to size and used safety pins to hold it together. Ahh the wonder years.
Whoa! A little rough today, aren't you? Take it easy. I know you're excited about winning a critique, but really. I like to take things slow. Eh, who am I kidding. That was FANTASTIC (except for the embarrassing facts)! Feel me up again next Friday. Until then, some awards! And I want to apologize in advance because I have no clue where these came from since I've been holding them for so long. So if you gave it to me, comment and I'll link you:)
Now, go check out these other talented ladies and see who wins their arguments.

Thanks to each and every one of you who's given me an award. I *heart* you all more than you know. This week's Unedited "something vs. something": tube socks vs. ankle socks. I was half asleep creating this one, sooooo it's not my best work, and as always, Gram could not be more indifferent (mainly because she can't hear)...
