Weekend Whatnot

29 more days... That's what my son said to me at bedtime tonight. You see, homeschoolers may have a lot more fun, but they still count the days 'til summer vacation just like all the other kids. Truth be told, I'm counting the days too. I have an unbelievably long to-do list.

Normally, I don't play computer or video games. There's just not enough time in the day. But lately I've become addicted to Scrabble on my iPod. It's a powerful little game that gives my mind a good workout. And, it's only $5 at iTunes!

Overheard in the kitchen: "You are a beep-beep-beeeeeeep-beep!" "Oh yeah, well you're a beep-beep-bebeep-beep!" Sigh. No more episodes of Ice Road Truckers for my kids!

Vlasic Pickles is launching an interesting contest this month. All families giving birth to a baby in May 2008 can submit their baby’s name, height, weight, etc. with a photo and an entry about why their baby should be the Vlasic Stork Baby. The winning baby receives a $20,000 savings bond. But what makes it really interesting is that if you give your baby the middle name of "Crunch," then you get an extra $5000.

Speaking of contests, I had a couple of them this week. First, The BummKinn Band CD goes to... Oda Daddy. Enjoy the music!

My other contest was for the photo caption below. You all made me smile, but in a very close finish it was ImPerceptibility taking home a first place prize of $10 to spend at iTunes.

Hey Phil,

I'm hooked on scrabble too, but on Facebook instead. It's free.

cheers,
Cheryl

But you can't play Facebook Scrabble in the car or at the park!
