Thanks to Jen for tagging me for a meme that I promptly bastardized, and thanks, too, to White Trash Mom and Tacky Princess (and, belatedly, Elizabeth, and am I forgetting anybody?) for thinking that I’m a thinking blogger. And thanks to GNM Parents, for nominating my dark ode to Mother’s Day as a Hot Stuff post.

While I’m napping off the Benadryl blurries, you could go check this stuff out: more issues that never die, over at MBT; HBM’s makeover (did she keep the bob? did she stay blond? did she resist the siren call of the PERM?), over at Mama Said Check This Out; and difficult reflections on infidelity, over at the Basement.
