You feeling lucky? Are you?

Luck is in the air as we shake off winter and celebrate the beginning of spring round here. An unexpected but welcome offer came my way this week. Max is turning four and I hope to get his birthday party pics up soon, we had it a week early. We head of for spring break in a couple of days, a quick stop at the Mother in laws mountain abode and then the kids and I will pile in with my parental units and nephew and go pay a visit to my sister in California with a stop at Legoland.

I even have high hopes of winning a contest or two in the near future. Seriously my NCAA brackets rock, or should I say rawk, they are that good. I have them entered in no less than three places. If you want to enter our bracket on FB, just follow the link.

Seems some other bloggers are feeling the need to give away too. For instance Mocha Momma is giving away a fabulous prize if you leave your dumbest stunt in the comments. Watch out for turfdad's comment, just be glad you didn't see the orginal post on that one. I nearly had to gouge my eyes out, good thing I was wearing PPE. ; )

Wifey is also giving away some very pretty souvenirs from her cruise to the Meditteran which she got to take to for the travel channel. If she weren't so dad gum likeable I might just be jealous of her. I think she should give job advice as well, really how does one get paid for that. Don't worry I don't think it will change her since she is a former star of TLC's A Wedding Story.

Have fun folks!

Cleaning out the clutter.

I have a goal, that is to clean out the clutter filling my house. Seriously. I have to get a handle on it. Living in a tiny space, we are often overwhelmed by our things. Thank God for ebay, thrift stores and freecycle.

Likewise, I realized I have left some internet clutter out there and left you dear readers hanging on a few issues. Since I realize it has been hard for you to sleep at night, wondering, about those cliffhanger endings of mine, I am going to update you.

Regarding the inappropriate questions on the newspaper job application. That was delayed a few weeks because of the Nashville trip, then the conclusion was rather uneventful. I asked for a new application when I went back and lo and behold it was a new application, minus all the inapporpriate questions. I turned it in, talked the the manager for a while, and have heard nothing about a job. I doubt anyone related to the paper reads my blog, or anyone in this town for that matter, but who knows.

Regarding my wonderful curly locks. I am still not "loving" my haircut but am loving my hair since I tried the new Tresemme Curly Hair product line. I also was ecstatic to get a some free samples from the Queen of Curly Manes, Ouidad by signing up for their brochure. While I had been to the site before, Mocha clued me into the freebies on her blog, it doesn't say you will get free samples but I did, just sign up for the brochure, wink wink. Now if I could just win the weekly giveaway. Just for the record, no flat iron has touched my hair of late.

Zach finished preschool, as an A+++ student, or at least I assume so. (Just kidding folks, they don't keep grades at Headstart.) We have only two more tee ball games left, of late we have gone around the bases in the right order, so that is progress as well. Oh and we got invited to a birthday party for non family. That is exciting since we have lived here and year and this is the first invite. Someone wants to see us again that isn't obligated by family ties. Awesome! Although my precious Max Attack bit a kid at playgroup, and we are actually forgoing church over it tonight because he has been a terror and I am afraid to subject the nursery workers to him today. That is a step backwards for us, he hasn't bit anyone in a several months. Ben and I should both be going to the party so we can take Max and hopefully get a repeat invite.

Lastly I did actually use my workout clothes for good and hauled a bunch of gravel from the back 40 to the front yesterday. I need to finish the job today. I felt awesome, and had a Kashi Bar for a snack, I had got an email from Kashi about a coupon and I was estatic when I dropped by their website and found that they are giving away a free sample of their Granola. I love this stuff, and thought I would pass it along.

By the way all the freebie links are just because I want to share, not because I am sponsored or anything. For the record, I am not in the business of mommy blogging.
