…because you have other shizz to do.
Where I’ve been this week on the www.
All summed up so you can move on with your life.

HuffPost Parents listed me in their Parenthesis: The Best of the Mom and Dad Blogs This Week on Friday: Surprise!! That was pretty damn neat-o.
I don’t talk much about my anxiety issues, but sometimes my kids surprise me and it makes everything just a little better.
I’m done having kids, and wrote about how happy I am to go to the OB/GYN this summer at InThePowderRoom. Which, by the way, is now officially a weekly gig for me. Thanks for all your support!
Made a list about how being a parent is like being a referee.
Went out with my girlfriends, and one of them called me her “Mom Friend”. (That didn’t go over too well with me)
@AloneWithCats is the girl who gave The Bloggess the dead gift that she discusses in her memoir. When they met in person, things got…weird. But still not quite as weird as my very favorite butt-themed, I laugh every time post of hers.
I wrote about writing on BlogHer.com, in the hopes that someone has some advice for me. I have too much in my head, and don’t know how to organize it. (File folders don’t fit in my ear, so, really…I’m out of ideas)
Remember my post Lessons Learned by Seeing Magic Mike? It was one of the top-clicked posts on last week’s Finding the Funny linkup & an “honorable mention” by Fordeville Diaries. Hmmm…I wonder what about it caught their eyes…?
Speaking of BlogHer, I’ll be at the BlogHer ’12 conference in NYC in a few weeks (more about that HERE). I look forward to learning more about blogging, writing, the business of it all, and meeting boatloads of of other bloggers. If you’ll be there, I’ll try not to blind you with my awesomeness whiteness. Come say hi. Really.
Or Tweet me via @LetMeStart and I’ll know to keep my eye out for you.

Something pretty great/funny/inspiring is about to happen. Hurry up to The Glamouring on Facebook, the brainchild of Susan of The Divine Secrets of a Domestic Diva. She needs photos of you – yes, YOU! – all glammed up and doing your typical chores like mowing the lawn or folding laundry. Just post them to her Glamouring Facebook page & tell her I sent you.
I have 4 wonderful blog sponsors (purchasers of ad space) who make me happy and help pay a babysitter so I can write this summer without children hanging from my neck. Please help me show them some love by checking them out & Liking them on Facebook. Thanks!
If you are interested in advertising here, ads start at $15/month (details here). Now’s a great time, since I have some good things going on here during July…
