Today's post is courtesy of the amazing Keely, also known as The Un Mom. Many of you may know her as the originator and host of Random Tuesday Thoughts, though she has been on hiatus for a bit now. Which makes us all sad. Not that Stacy isn't doing a fine job. But still. We miss Keely. She's HUGE in the UK, you know.
I have had the privilege of meeting and palling around with Keely at BlogHer last year. Keely, Jenni (of Oscarelli, yesterday's guest blogger), Becky (the Suburban Matron) and I hung out together for two days, and had the BEST time. In addition to being a wonderfully funny and insightful writer, and the most sarcastic Canadian that I know, Keely is a gifted graphic artist. Lucky me. You'll soon find out why I said this. You're going to be SO jealous. REALLY. You are. You are gonna pee yourselves with jealousy when you see what Keely made me. Ooooo boy are you gonna be JEALOUS.
But hold your horses! Before you can read and see Keely's post, you MUST VOTE FOR ME for Circle of Mom's Top 25 SoCal Mom Blogs!
Just click on the button, then scroll down until you find Second Blooming and then click the little Thumbs Up button.
Even if you've already voted, DO IT AGAIN! You must vote every single day.
Did you do it? No.
I'm not going to let you see Keely's post until you do. SO DO IT.
Okay that's better. I will now present you with...
Super Gretchen
Gretchen asked me long before the beginning of all her camping adventures if I would guest post for her. I agreed, and then forgot, because I'm an asshole like that. But she gave me a gentle and polite reminder, with an easy out if I wanted it, because she's generous and kind even in the face of assholery. So of course I said I would.
LOVE IT! And frankly jealous of it.

Awesome! Now I want to know more of the adventures of the Thespian Avenger and of course Water Boy!

SO jealous! Awesome graphic, Keely. Horatio is, of course, the piece de resistance.

Wow, even as a cartoon she has a great rack. Insanely jealous. And Water Boy? Looking awesome, as always.

I voted! And I'm jealous, too...those superhero boots are awesome!

As always, perfect!
Hey, Wait! Why does Thespian Avenger have a bigger rack than Super Librarian? Is this a stereotype thing?

That looks JUST LIKE YOU! You are a kickass superhero and Keely is a kickass artist. And I remember that chick at BlogHer telling Keely she was huge in the UK. We were all like, duh!
Hope you're having fun camping!
