Holy Sh*t, where did the month go?

or should I just say Welcome to ICLW. If you don't know about ICLW, what rock have you been hiding under? No, seriously, ICLW rocks and all you have to do to find out about it is click on that little yellow rectangle to the right (yeah, the one with the dog on it).

I can't make myself focus to do a real intro post (explain why in a minute) so I'll just give you the links to the other ones here.
My family building/IF history
ABCs of Me part 1
ABCs of Me part 2
Once Upon A Time
An Interview With Me
That's probably more shirt about me than any of y'all want or need to know so tread lightly and explore cautiously for Here Be Dragons.

So, why can't I focus? Because I get to go out and have FUN tomorrow! My mom, my two sisters, my bff/sister by choice, and I are all going to see The Time Traveler's Wife (ohpleasedearGoddon'tletthemfuckupthestorytoobadly) and then we are going out to dinner at Sweet Tomatoes. It's been absolutely forever since we have all managed to get together for a girl's night out. I can't wait. And, yes, I promise to torture them with my camera!

The other reason I can't focus is I am planning some FUN, FUN, FUN for later in the week. The fabulous Calliope over at Creating Motherhood had a great idea. After she read my last show and tell post, Calli said we should have an ink tour. All of us who have tattoos would show pics of them and tell the stories behind them and, anyone else who wanted in on the fun but doesn't have a tat can tell us about what they would chose to have tattooed if they ever went down that road. So, watch this space carefully. One day really soon (probably Monday), we are going to kick off
If you want to join in on the fabulousness and fun, click HERE(yes, HERE) to get the code that will add this loverly button to your blog. All you have to do is copy and paste the code to whatever part of your blog you want the button on. On the kick off day, what the hell, let's officially say Monday, August 24th, I'll have a post with a Mister Linky sign up area and the fun can begin.

On a a quick closing note, since our Stirrup Queen Extraordinaire is in need of distractions, I'll tell you what I told her...I know something she doesn't know and Mel is going to love it. If you want to help distract Mel, click on the EMAIL ME link on the right or leave a note in the comments section and I'll tell you the secret.

Happy ICLW Y'all!
