She Go Bye-Bye

Ella went into her room this morning and got her favorite hat, shoes, and purse. Now she's all ready to go bye-bye.

Baa Baa Black Sheep, Have You Any Wool?

The Little Black Facebook

To the surprise of absolutely no one, Facebook announced that they will soon be sharing your phone number and address with third parties. No word yet on where the parties are, or if you're invited.

Of course, one of the sliest ways of preventing this from happening is to not give Facebook your phone number or address in the first place.

Thank you, carry on.

How Much is that Mousey in the Window?

Yesterday afternoon, the kids and I were sitting on the couch downstairs watching television and waiting for Julie to get home. All of a sudden, Ella started pointing and waving from my lap. I looked up just in time to see little shrew scrabbling around the outside of the window.

Little critters tend to tunnel under the snow this time of year. This one had apparently burrowed out a nest right against the outside of the window pane, so the kids and the shrew and I all sat in our livingrooms and watched each other and the rest of the TV show together.
