Sleepy Heads

Our three-year-old can fall asleep anywhere.  He gets sleepy, and he just konks out no matter where he is.

Today’s Miscellaneous Monday — drum roll please —  Three Guilty Pleasures.  
At the risk of sounding very shallow, I’m sharing with you three of my guilty pleasures.  Don’t judge me.  You know you have your own guilty pleasures.  
1.  Reading the EW.com recaps of TV shows.  I look forward to Dalton Ross’s summary of Survivor on [...]

Good Stuff

Here are some good things I’ve read in Blog-World lately.  Most of them are funny.  So if you don’t like to laugh, don’t click on any of the links.
Jon over at StuffChristiansLike wrote this about thinking we’re naked.  It’s not what you think.  Go read it.  
Stuart Delony posted this video of Colbert defending the [...]
