Jenny On the Spot: Caffeinated mom, lover of dancing, glitter and glitter.

I took my kid to the park one day a week or so back. Being the conscientious parent that I am… I walked the perimeter of the park to inspect for sharp edges, stray shards of bark, matches and hypodermic needles. *rolls eyes*

Ya know… the usual “safety sweep” all parents feel compelled to do before fun times at the park.

It is especially critical here… in my sleepy faux Norwegian bayside town, with a large retired-persons population. In my standard perimeter sweep, I noticed a new sign. Gosh, folks. I can’t believe I am still alive. We never had signs like this when I was a kid. I suppose I am just fortunate – as well as 100% of my peers that never died at my local playground.

And for those of us who like to drink their coffee HOT… “The beverage you are about to enjoy is HOT.” Oh yeah, and have fun.

Teachers. Bless their hearts. School staff persons. Again, bless their hearts.

And we may want to say a prayer of blessing for their heads, because when I went to help at my kids’ school… the following sign was hanging in one of the teacher’s bathrooms:

Bless their hearts heads.

- I totally tried to swoon Harry Connick Jr. in my review about his new album. I haven’t heard from him yet, but I’m sure it’s only because he is nervous. I have that effect on men people. *two snaps up in a circle* Ouch. I totally just hit my nose.

- I am giving away some of the moneys in a couple of reviews on my review site. If you haven’t visited and commented on the Febreeze NOTICEables post or Wonder Bread post… maybe you wanna… There is still time to enter to win 2 different $100 Visa gift cards and a couple other things, like a year of freed bread and stuff.

- And finally… I started a series over at Mom on the Spot: You Know You’re a Kitsap Mom When… If you are a Kitsap-er, or are simply curious about the exciting life we lead here in the Pacific Northwest… here’s the dirt… the skinny… how we deal… how we be. Judging from our park signage, we may be a special people.

Keep up on the ridiculous, the insightful, the always digressive…
