Um, yeah.

I can't think of anything witty to say today. My brain has been as cloudy as the skies outside, which managed to rain on the boy's stroller after we got home despite the weather report not predicting significant rain before 7PM. Grr.

So I'll do a little shameless self-promotion. If you are on Facebook, this blog now has its own fan page. Some of you have already become fans, and thank you. But if you haven't, there is a widget on the bottom of this page (scroll ALL the way down) to become a fan right from here. I'll update every day after I post the new blog so you don't have to check yourself. My Facebook fan page also has a message thread I started called "suggestion box." Please drop by and let me know what you'd like to see in future posts, or as future regular features, or as future poetry challenges. 

I have also (shudder) joined twitter, as @minervadamama. Feel free to become my follower there; I will also post a link to each day's blog there. So, yeah.
