catching up and giving away

The visit with my mom was very nice. She’s definitely stronger and has put on eight pounds in the last six weeks or so. She lost so much weight over the past several months that we cheer when she gains weight. We had a very nice time and made it to the Dairy Queen (ahem) more than once so it’s possible I put on eight pounds much faster than she did.

We saw lots of her friends and some of our relatives. I spent part of the weekend responding to “Mary Ann,” which always takes a second to realize it's directed toward me. It’s my real name but after I was four years old only my father and a handful of relatives called me that.

Hey there, I have a giveaway! I’m a big fan of Darling Mummy. Do you wear those tees? If not, you should…they’re so comfy and cute. I got my first one as a gift and immediately went back for more. Anyway, I was on the site looking for a new tee and noticed that the MOOD SWING tee is being retired. So...I exchanged emails with the founder and mentioned the name of my blog and she gave me a tee to give away! Don’t you love nice people?

The tee is black, 100% soft and snuggly cotton. Because this tee is being retired there are limited sizes left. I have an XL to give away. No rules (it is summer, after all)...just leave a comment here and IF you feel like it follow me. Pass it on to others...really, the tees are scrumpdillyicious (ah, the DQ, again!). The winner will be randomly selected on July 6. My camera is a bit funky at the moment so I'm using the image below to show the tee. It's a little fuzzy but you get the idea...



Okay, now I'm off to catch up on all the things I missed while I was gone.
