Any plans this weekend? My weekend begins tonight with a fun get together with the best group of hilarious and talented ladies. Doubled over laughter is sure to ensue. Saturday I may have to recuperate. Then on Sunday we're hosting a little shindig for my SIL who just solidified her MBA from Loyola Marymount–congratulations Christiane!

Wishing all moms and mom-to-be's a wonderful and relaxing weekend! Group hug:) And now, your friendly neighborhood links ...

She had me at "Max Fischer" and sealed the deal with "sea foam green Land Rover Defender." Tomboy's unite! (psst, I didn't like dolls either–gasp).

Do you ever think about deactivating your FB account? This person did and surmises the act of doing so with equal parts great points and humor.
