A future project gets revealed:

Something that I have always enjoyed doing is writing reviews. Whether you like it or not I like to talk about the television shows I watch, the movies I rent, the cleaning supplies I can’t live without…And now I have decided, along with two of my favorite people/bloggers who also like to talk and discuss what they are reading/watching/eating/buying, to create a separate space where we can do just that.

Reviews & Contemplations: 3 Women and a Blog would like to cordially invite you to check out our digs. The paint is still a bit damp, and we may need to do some sweeping up, but come on in and make yourself at home.

There is a new Mothertalk review up for James Patterson’s The Dangerous Days of Daniel X. Following the review I want to start a discussion about what books you enjoyed as a young adult. Check out the site, read the review, and let’s talk teen lit!

It is easy being Green.

Despite my genuine love of recycling I am probably the least granola blogger around. I aspire to be eco-friendly. I really want to eat only organic. I have friends that live beautifully green and I want to be like them. Thankfully one of my friends (& yours!) has started a new blog that will help us see how easy it is to be green.

Sarah (of Sarah Solitaire) has launched The Green Frugalista. I am so impressed by her reviews and her willingness to make something we all want to be (earth friendly) attainable.

About the new site:

Do you want to go green but are scared off by the high price of organic items?
Would you like to buy more eco-friendly products but don’t think you have the time to drive to five different specialty stores to find everything?
Are you hoping to be more of a tree hugger but don’t have the time to make everything yourself?

Don’t worry, The Green Frugalista is driving around (in her Prius, of course) doing the hard work for you, and is checking out products that you can actually afford and find in your local stores. Check back regularly for product reviews, shopping commentaries and more.

Pretty effing cool, right? Check it out and let her know I sent you.

Caption Contest

Hopefully all of you are fervent readers of the best sunshiny blogs ever: LOLCAT and LOLDOG

If this is your first time hearing about those sites you are totally in for a treat. I have literally had entire hours of shit moods erased just by one cleverly captioned photo. My Mother actually uses the LOLCAT site as a sort of work day funk car wash. She doesn’t really talk until she has logged on to her home computer and gotten her chuckle on. It makes me laugh hearing her giggle behind the hum of her little mac (it’s a mini!) and I usually can be heard begging to know, “which one? which one?????” And she will reply, and I will concur that yes, that is the funny.

Which brings us to yesterday afternoon. Mother returned home early from jury selection duty (guess who got picked) with a big box that contained GM’s new fancy, “I’m 80+ and I get to have an old folks toilet seat” contraption. (seriously- this thing is FANCY! Put it on your wish-lists now and when you are 80+ treat yourself!)

Charlie was so happy to have a change of routine that he began running laps around the house and wiping out on the slick kitchen floor. We called for him to sit in GM’s chair and he agreed, but then he saw that the leap from GM’s chair to the top of the sofa was totally doable. And he leaped! And made a fantastic landing. Seeing as how the back of the sofa is also sort of the beginning of my work space I was able to grab my camera and get a cute shot of him doing his, “huh?” face.

And then Talula discovered the box. She was in cat heaven for ages. And then, just as swiftly, she didn’t give a shit about the box and abandoned it. Charlie felt like he might want the box. I mean the cat was totally digging it, so why wouldn’t he? So he walked in, head first and sort of plopped down. I grabbed my camera and got him to turn around for a fun photo op.

But as soon as I got my lens cap off you know who came back to reclaim her box.

So now I submit to you the following photos for you to caption. Who knows, if we can land on something clever enough we can submit it to one of the sites.

Caption Contest is officially open!

Things that are good:

1) Even though it sucks to have to force feed 12 needle-less syringes of stinky, blended RX cat food down my cat’s tooth infested mouth four times a day I am noticing that BG Talula is doing much better. She has a bit more pep and isn’t crying so much when she uses the litter box. So hoping this food is dissolving the stone.

2) GM only got up ONCE last night and that getting up required no physical assistance from me.

3) I got my first advertising check in the mail! This means I can officially let go of the grudge holding of the previous blog ad people and move on with my life. Granted the check was not a car payment or anything, but it is real and it is mine!

4) A blog friend that pretty much fell off the planet sent me an e-mail and she is doing really great. And no I won’t tell you who it is, but I will let you know that sometimes people DO get happy endings.

5) Another friend just got some insanely wonderful news and I am waiting for her to blog about it so that I can link to it and you can run over and do a cartwheel for her. And guess what- the news doesn’t involve reproductive parts. It’s bigger than that. And it is awesome!

6) An old friend of mine from my last life in the entertainment world found me on the facebook and we have been catching up. She was one of my favorite people that I got to work with so it is thrilling to be able to do the e-mail exchange. I am trying to get her to start a blog…bwha ha ha!

7) I have finally decided to end a destructive relationship in my life. This person used to be a source of joy and happiness, but lately she has been taunting me and making no sense. She fills my in-box with rubbish and after months and months of it I have decided that I need to break it off. Sue Miller, we are through.

8 ) I figured out how to get music off of a popular video site and into my itunes. I am now like an obsessed music lover all over again.

9) It’s almost 9am and GM is still sleeping.

10) It’s hump day. AKA one day ’til respite.

*BONUS* Dosmamas are home! Yay!

What’s good with YOU today? Tell me something good!
