HAHT

Today's post is going to be a little on the brief side, so that I can redirect you somewhere else.

Remember on Friday I told you about some fabulous prizes? Well, today marks the beginning of the contest. That's right: click over to my review blog and enter my contest for a chance to win one of two sets of 11 books.


Sunday Bloody Sunday - Saul Williams

No, nothing happened on Sunday. I just liked this cover and wanted to share it.

This weekend was haht (misspelling used to indicate pronunciation). (How hot was it?) It was so haht that by the time we had walked our neighbourhood on Saturday morning looking at the garbage other people wanted to get rid of and considering whether or not to add it to our ever-growing collection of crap browsing garage sales, my shirt was already soaked.

And we hadn't even made it to the parade yet:


Parade? Why yes, parade. Because last weekend's festival wasn't enough, we went to yet another one this weekend. In sweltering heat. One of us, without sunscreen. (I don't burn, I just darken.) It was fun, if a little bit haht. The munchkin got ice cream, and old fashioned soda pop, and cotton candy, and free sunscreen because MTM was foolish enough to listen to me when deciding whether or not to bring extra sunscreen. (Thank goodness for thoughtful parents.)

We came home, and MTM decided to clean out the liquor cabinet:


Those would be wine bottle stoppers. We had more than enough, especially considering the fact that MTM is now pregnant and has reduced her alcohol consumption to three bottles per day. (I kid. A little.)

On Sunday we did a few errands (read: we hit the mall and Mastermind), and came home to play in our brand-new leaky and probably going to be returned Dora sprinkler:


All in all, a fun weekend. What did you do?



I have another post up at Babies Online. This one is a bit of a rant: Fathers Are Parents Too.

I see that you got spammed by Hachette Book Group USA too. With this many dads in the fray, I don't think I'll run their contest. I'm worried about the aftermath.

had a cookout this weekend and it was also very HAWT here. And today is another scorcher :(

Worked on my deck. What a thrill, but it will be nice when it is done.

@Will: I wouldn't call them spammers, personally. And as for having "this many dads in the fray"? Personally, I think it just means more free books for people.
