Congrats to Janna, who won the copy of Julia Barrett’s newly released steamy romance, Beauty and the Feast!

Oh! You only have until 8 pm today (March 17) to enter your picks for DA BWAHA! The grand prize is an iPad…

• I wish I was kidding in the title about my tap water.

• Ewww!

• Minneapolis gets its water out of the Mississippi River.

• All hail the Brita pitcher!

• On Sunday, we hit a record-breaking high temperature of 64F.

• Very, very unusual for March in Minnesota.

• All the snow is gone, except for the biggest piles.

• The rivers are flooding, since the snow melted before the ground thawed.

• Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

• Is it weirder that my cats have their own email addresses and respond to comments directed at them, or that some of you carry on conversation with my cats in email? 😉

• I wonder how long I’ll have this post-it reminding me to throw out the scary old eggs in the fridge before I remember to throw out the scary old eggs in the fridge?

• My SIL seemed fine about anticipating her belated birthday socks, whenever they’re finished.

• I continue to slog away on the leg of the first sock.

• Would you like to see the sock?

• Tough. You’re going to see it anyway:

“Oh, what have we here?” -Mayhem

“Needles or yarn, needles or yarn – which to bite through first?” -Mayhem

• Eeep! *rescues sock and needles*

• Maybe next time I’ll get a cat-free photo.

• Well, I can always dream, right?! 🙂
