I am feeling SOOOOO lazy! It is definitely the countdown to Camp Mama around here. Only one week and two days until summertime, summertime, summertime. But I think I can come up with a handful of randomness...
Oh yes...

Just in case you're looking for a refreshing summer salad recipe...

I love these photographs. An Austin photographer has commemorated her daughter's 5th birthday by dressing the kid up not as a Disney princess, but as real-life inspirational women...
Go check out the other photos! It's such a cool idea!

An old friend of mine, Lara, needs your help. Lara is an artist, an activist, a small business owner and a lovely human being. I first met Lara through a theater we were both involved in, and when I adapted "Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret" as a stage play, she was my Margaret. Lara is also going blind. She is a young woman with severe cataracts, which can be helped with surgery, but her health insurance doesn't cover vision. Please watch the video HERE. Her friends have put together an Indiegogo site. which is raising the $14,000 needed for surgery to both of her eyes. So far, they have raised an amazing $8000. PLEASE donate to her cause. Even $5 makes a difference! Thank you SO much!

One week and 2 days until Mama Camp, eh? Bet Jude is counting down the days, too! PN's first official Summer Break day is today - and she's *still* sleeping in. :)
Love that Star Trek Middle School Musical video - hilarious!
I think I'll pass on that jello salad...
LOVE that photographer's idea!!
The gal who ditched her man in that very creative way is a genius. ;)
So sorry about your friend - will definitely keep her in my thoughts and prayers!

I've seen worse jello salad. They used to put anything in jello--even bologna. Something about "savory" jello is just not right.
Turbo starts his summer break Thursday afternoon. There is a lot of yard work in his future for both grandparents. Kid wants a tablet--he needs to earn the money.

My mother-in-law once put tuna in green jello. Yes, she was very old at the time but she thought it tasted wonderful.

Rats! I did not get my Camp Mama tickets this year either!
Oh, that radish and egg bespeckled mold just ruined jello for me!

Enjoying your posts. Jello salad of all sorts were the thing for young wives to make when I was a newly wed. Especially in molds. Never was able to successfully unmold the darn things. And kudos to the Austin photographer and her daughter's photos. My best,worst post is ready.
