The Great Backyard Bird Count!
Get out those binoculars and get outside this weekend. The Great Backyard Bird Count (GBBC) is happening this weekend. I will be birding my butt off this weekend, and would love company. And if you are not that into birds, you can come over and watch the girls while I go birding!

And the winner is...
Jim has won the "Name That Rat" contest.
He submitted Penelope Pestilence as an entry, and when you cut out the "pestilence" part, you have a very good name for a rat. So our new rat's name will be Penny.
Tell him what's he's won, Bob!
Jim, you've won a night of fun, fun, fun! Enjoy watching our two angelic, perfect, No-trouble-at-all girls for an entire evening of your choice, while Geoff and I sadly sulk away to go out to dinner and a movie.
Please claim your prize before the end of the week, or your prize will go to our First Runner Up, Shannon, who had an entry of "Zelda".

Looser? I assume this uneducated loony means "loser", but here's the question...Who is the loser? A nice person who writes her own blog for her FRIENDS and FAMILY, or somebody who has to go to blogs and read about strangers?
This is the last time I will revisit this, but I just had to show all of my nice, sweet, intelligent friends and family members what an idiot this guy is.
