My Minnesotans (and a Monrovian)

Some years ago, I picked up a bunch of bizarre women on the internet. Most of them turned out to be from Minnesota -- go figure! Anyhoo, I've had the pleasure of meeting a few of them in person, and this past weekend, I got the pleasure of meeting TWO MORE! And their creepy spawn!

I do not know what I did in life to deserve friends like these... but whatever it was, I'm so glad I did it. These ladies have changed my life. They are so kind and loving and supportive! What a difference it makes, in the life of a parent, to have other like-minded parents (and/or professional nannies) to talk to.

Oh, and Kelsey likes 'em, too. :-D

Anniversary!

Fifteen years ago today, Mr. Siegel and I were wed in beautiful Las Vegas, Nevada.



And today, he had these beautimous flowers delivered to my work.

Thank you, Mr. Siegel. I *lurrrve* you. xoxoxoxoxo

B-DAY MADNESS!!!

Here is just a small sampling of the splendid b-day loot I received, including my cherished "cake with a typo", and EXcluding all the equally splendid cards, e-cards, and general well-wishes I received today via the Interwebs and in person. (My apologies if your gift/card/confection is not pictured here, but, y'know, that'd be kinda *REDONK*. BWAHAAHAHHAHA!)

I have a wonderfully awesome bunch of family and peeps, making this b-day super-fabu! THANKS, EVERYBODY!!!
