I’ve got a couple of extra events for this week that I found out about too late for the Sunday post:

The Capital District Sling Babies group will be meeting at the Bethlehem Public Library at 451 Delaware Ave. in Delmar this Wednesday, February 3rd at 10:30 am in the Board Room.  They will have lots of different slings and carriers to try.

On Thursday at 10 am, there’s a preschool story hour at the Mohawk Commons Barnes & Noble.  I  don’t have a link for this one because according to the B&N website, there are no events in the next 30 days.  But trust me: I have a source on the inside for this one.  It’s happening, baby.

Meanwhile, today I had to run to my local Price Chopper to get more mangoes.  Right now they’re a dollar each and super-scrumptious.  You know how I feel about fruit.  But along the way I was oh-so-pleased to encounter some Organix shampoos and conditioners wearing cute little paper necklaces that told me that with a mail-in rebate, I could try one of them for free!  Goody!  In case you’re wondering if this is some sort of paid endorsement:  yeah, right.  Like these people know that I exist.  I wish.  But as you know, I am cheap.  So if the opportunity arises for me to obtain a delicious-smelling organic hair product, I will seize it!  And because I am good at sharing, I will tell you about it, too.  So, take a peek down the hair aisle next time you’re in the grocery.  And if you’re with the kids and unable to spend quality time sniffing each bottle, let me just tell you to skip the Cherry Blossom Ginseng because it smells like medicine.   And I would know, because I’ve been doling out Children’s Motrin for the past week.

So, my cute husband keeps posting all of my blog posts to Facebook.  Which is sweet, but I was starting to get a little embarrassed, and I said, basically, do you have to?   Then he started teasing me, complete with fluttery, effeminate gestures of indecision and distress:  “Oh, I want people to read it!  No, I don’t!  Maybe I do. . . .”   I got annoyed with him.  I said,  “Don’t you feel like they know about it already?  They must be sick of hearing about this blog.  I don’t want to make all of our friends crazy.”  He stood firm.

The next day, one of our friends and neighbors said, “W, thanks for posting that link! I hadn’t seen the blog.”

Fine.  He wins.  And I’ve capitulated entirely now:  you can become a fan on Facebook.  It’s good especially if you don’t do any other kind of RSS feed, because whenever I put a new post on the blog, I’ll update it and it will show up on your Facebook Home page.  Except this post.  Because, you know, anyone who’s already my fan doesn’t need to learn about it again.  I don’t want to drive them crazy.
