Well, it’s Sunday, so this really is my last post. Thank you, Jill, for letting me guest blog this week! And thank you to everyone for all the wonderful comments! Itโ€™s been fun! It motivated me to write a few posts that I’m really happy with, and it kept me occupied. ๐Ÿ˜‰

Bye-bye everyone! And if you liked my posts, you’re welcome to visit my little blog every now and then!

Fantastic New Blog Alert

Cure This. Their self-description:

For two and a half years, “Cure This” was a pipe dream shared by just a handful of us. We envisioned a grand goal: to create an online space to discuss health in its broadest sense, share personal stories, creatively make positive change, and build an online community along the way โ€” connecting us locally, nationally, and perhaps internationally. We envisioned a humble beginning: here and now.

Cure This has now transformed into a reality, and weโ€™re excited beyond words. We welcome it into this world with a loving, gentle nudge and an encouraging whisper in its ear. Let the beautiful journey begin.

It’s a great resource for health-related information and commentary. Definitely a must-add to your blogroll.

Discovered via BFP, who also writes for Cure This.

*waves goodbye*

It’s been monday here for a couple of hours now, which means my week here is over. The thrilling, insightful post I should have been writing this evening (instead of watching the Wimbledon finals) will probably be up at my blog sometime in the near future.

So before I go, who else watched the finals? Were they not the best in recent years? did anyone notice the attractive umpire? Thoughts?

Er. Bye. It was lovely to meet all of you. ๐Ÿ™‚

Project Guest Blogger: Week Four

UPDATED!
A big thanks to Roy and SnowdropExplodes for their awesome guest-blogging this week. You guys are fantastic!

This week we’ll be joined by Flea, who usually writes over at One Good Thing, and Bint, who blogs at My Private Casbah. They’re both fantastic writers with unique voices, and I’m looking forward to having them on the blog.

The Sunday round-up is going to have to wait until tomorrow, because I have too much work to do tonight to post it. Sorry dudes. But hopefully you’re all very excited to have the lovely Flea return to this space, and the wonderful Bint write here for the first time — I know I am.

Break Time

I’m taking an indefinite break from the blog. Recent discussions have gotten me too upset to continue posting here.

Steve Gilliard was a friend of mine. I went to his wake and funeral. I can’t do this right now.

Enjoy your guest-bloggers.

Mid-Week Fluff

I already posted this at my other blog, but it’s this week’s Video That Makes Lauren Happy.

Why? Because kitties do what kitties do, and Scooby just wants to bite his babies.

Enlighten Me Here

So how, exactly, is this worse than this, this, or this? Or, for that matter, this?

Silly me! It’s because Nancy Pelosi’s not a Republican. And Democrat = Dhimmi, as far as the wingnuts are concerned. If you’re a Democrat, simple respect for local culture might as well mean handing over the country to the kind of Allahu-Akbar-spouting Islamic terrorists that have Michelle Malkin soiling herself under the bed.
