So I just signed up with Adsense and got my first ad. PARTEEEE. Funny though because the first ad I get is for M&M's.

Does this shock anyone?!

REALLY.

It's too bad it got stuck on tea. Because, what the heck? Tea? I don't even say that word on my blog.

Also, I think tea smells kind of nasty, depending on which tea it is, of course. And if I'm drinking anything hot, it's going to have chocolate in it.

I liked the M&M ad better.

I think maybe you should work out a deal to do advertising for M&Ms, since you already DO advertise for them on a regular basis.

So I was searching for any email contact for you, but since there's none, I must tell you here that I think that you win the prize for leaving the most consistently hilarious comments. I hope you don't feel pressure, now that I've said that. I just hope you know that I LOVE IT!!

It's back to M&M's. I'm clicking it *now*.

Yep, the m&m's are back! Maybe after a quick recheck they realized that you don't say the word "tea" and realized their huge mistake...

Either that, or your m&m karma did the trick. It has to be one or the other, right?

hair loss and mourning

By
I like Monkey's hair long.  I tried to grow out Opie's hair when he was younger, but he has always had a tremendously large head, and he also has very thick wavy hair.  You pair those two together, throw in some long locks, and you've got yourself a genuinely bonified giant-head child.  So I've learned my lesson: keep Opie's hair short. But Monkey's hair?  It's so soft, and straight (our only straight-haired child) and super super cute when it's long.  SUPER CUTE.  (Agree with me - it's my blog.)  But not many people liked the whole long hair thing.  I kept having to threaten various family members with things like, "If I come back to find him with short hair I will DISOWN you, run away with my kids and you will never hear from us again.  EVER."  (Husband was particularly sensitive to this threat.) However, I did say that once random strangers started referring to him as a girl, I would consider cutting it.  And even though ...

I am an artist.

By
I really am. But not one of those deeply moving, "what do you mean you don't understand my painting, it's BLUE" kind of artists.  I'm more like one of those "oh hey, a pen and a napkin, doodle doodle doodle" kind of artists.  Because I do it for fun.  And yeah, for money.  But still.  Fun....most of the time. But I feel like branching into new mediums.  Do you know how long it's been since I painted?  Like with something other than finger paints or the kids' water colors where all the colors are mixed so they just come out brown anyway? It's been awhile.  I've been itching to paint for months. I've also wanted to let Monkey loose on a canvas for awhile.  He's not like my other kids (who all carry mine and Husband's arty genes) who like to draw endless pictures of unicorns, princesses, transformers or dinosaurs.  Monkey likes to feel his art.  He'll probably end up being one of those deeply moving types.  And I'...
