So Much to Blog, So Little Time

I may be putting up several posts today - or I may not. It depends on whether I've got wifi in the cabana we have rented for the day.

Yes, we are out of town again and I have lots to say about that. But I still haven't finished the posts about our Palm Springs trip last week... and I'm expecting my husband to do a little write up of his visit yesterday to 1st court at Wimbledon!

In the meantime:

The Summer Travel Get Road Ready Contest has ended and a random drawing has produced three winners!

Reader Rhoda has won the second prize of the Get Road Ready kit with products to make it easier to travel by car. And the winners of the two Nintendo DS game consoles (and Crosswords games to go with them) are Kelby Carr, and Elizabeth of Busy Mom.

I have a new post up at Los Angeles Moms blog... and one of my MOMocrats posts can be seen at Huffington Post.

Watch this space... there's more to come...

Parent-Teacher Conference Follow Up to Come - But First...

I was so focused on this morning's Parent-Teacher Conference that I forgot to make Megan a lunch this morning (and sent her off to school without lunch money, either).

More on that later.

In the meantime, I've taken yesterday's political dilemma and moved it on over as a guest blogger at MOMocrats, which is holding a W(ho)TF Day in answer to the end of the Edwards campaign.  Read it here.

"Am I Cucumber Basil or Pomegranate Peppermint?"

Since mid-July, I've been on a pretty strict weight-loss diet. I've done well, losing 18 pounds in 6 weeks. My clothes are starting to feel loose... not so loose that I can get rid of the fat jeans altogether and go down a size... but loose enough that I have to hitch them up whenever I stand.

So it's too early to start shopping for cute new duds. I have 42 pounds yet to go, so the big shopping spree is going to take a while...
