How to Look Good Naked

I'm not usually one for reality shows, but How to Look Good Naked is some pretty groundbreaking stuff -- the gay best friend (with impeccable taste) every girl wishes she had. Real women's bodies, body image myths, how to dress, and a makeover all rolled into one.

The premiere is online for free. If you want to look good naked, or want to look at naked women ;) go check it out.

Welcome to the world, Raymond Atlas Walker III

I'm happy to say Raymond Atlas Walker III (aka 'Trip') was born December 29, 2007, weighing 6 pounds even (Already splitting hairs as finely as his father, heh?) to Alice and Floyd Walker.

Isn't he just the cutest thing ever? Red hair!?!

I like this new feature in Google Reader that lets you share your favorite posts with your friends who also use reader. This link would allow you to add my "broadcast" to a non Google Reader reader, too.

It's like sitting around the breakfast table reading the paper and sharing tidbits, no?

One Hot Mama

My sister is home, and going through old photos. Here's one she found of my Mom, at about 25. Doesn't she look like the sexy Kansas farmgirl she was? Although this would have been after she left Kansas to see the world via the Air Force.

(p.s. All that hair -- it's fake!)

Introducing "Addicted to Costco"

Yes, it's true. I have a friend who loves Costco so much she's started a blog about it. Kimberly was the friend who got us a membership as a baby gift (and a very useful one it was!). And who put on an entire supper club with food purchased at Costco (with a mock receipt and a guessing game at how much it cost per person). She's such an expert we all ask her "is the frozen tilapia any good?" and she's the one who lets us know that Costco carries washing machines when we happen to be shopping for them.

So.... check it out. Addicted to Costco.

Introducing Livemom

I love talking about projects my friends are working on -- it reinforces the community of "doers" around me and reminds me that my friends are pretty darn cool.

The most recent project by a friend is LiveMom. It's a local parenting (momming?) website and discount program, created by my friend Catherine. The site's design is fabulous, and Catherine's writing is clear, honest, and entertaining. She's doing a great job, so if you're an Austin area mom (or just a mom who visits Austin), you should drop by and check it out.

Livemom.
