Other people's stuff

Sorry for the quietude around here. It's been, um, busy. I promise I'll have some interesting stuff to tell you about what we're up to before long.

In the meantime... Let me tell you about cool stuff other people are doing instead.

First, my good friend Morgan - the one who gave us all that baby stuff - is starting a new photography business. Take a look at her work: Fields of View Photography. Don't be shy if you see something you like. Or if you don't, just ask and she'll shoot something just for you. With her camera, of course. If you want something shot in a different sense, well, maybe she knows somebody who knows somebody.

Second are the various challenges my bloggy friends are sponsoring: Chile's Cut the Crap decluttering challenge, Burbanmom's Giving Challenge and Crunchy Chicken's latest Diva Cup Challenge. None of which I'm participating in, because I'm a loooooser. Though I think I can get a free pass on that last one.

Speaking of Crunchy Chicken, she is singlehandedly pushing the limits of what can be accomplished through blogging. In addition to her steady flow of challenges, book clubs, and ideas, check out her truly inspiring work. She went from reading an article to setting up a charity to delivering goods to girls in Kenya within a matter of weeks!

Oh, and all this while her husband is suffering from incurable cancer. If anybody has earned the right to ask for a donation, it's her. But she's not just asking people to donate to the Multiple Myleoma Foundation - she's pledged to shave her head if she reaches her goal.

I can't top all that. But I have been roped into a cool new project. As one of my cohorts described it: "All I can say is that it involves Poultry, English Pub signs, Victory Gardens, Boobs and Beer - and that’s just what we’ve come up with so far." So stay tuned.
