I’m going on a road trip with the family today. You’d be forgiven for thinking we do this a lot, because we do. This time we’re looking for a house (yes, still) and taking the kid to Edinbrick to see a bunch of Legos that aren’t already in my house. I’ve said before that I’m trying to get more organized.

Neil will tell you my over-thinking is a scary thing. But stick…

And Christine at I’m Sick and So Are You, in her infinite wisdom, has come up with 5 Reasons You Shouldn’t Read Gin & Lemonade. Do you think sarcasm is the highest form of flattery? Please say yes.
