Serving up potluck – Nirvana style.

This whole bloggy world entered my life two years ago on a back porch, chatting with my well-meaning friend Julie - fade to black…

“Ash, you should blog about PKU. My friend Holly has one. It’s called June Cleaver Nirvana. She’s hilarious!”

Me – “I don’t know about all that stuff, but I’ll check her out.”

Annnnnnd, scene.

I visited. I fell in love with her hand-sketched beaver tales and delicious random Potluck. I thought, I’ll give this a try. She now juggles three different extremely successful sites (see the B2B and BurbMom button to the right – did I mention Woman’s Day?) And me, well, I soon found out that since PKU only affects about 1/15,000 births and it’s really not all that funny, my selection of topics needed to expand – enter Daniel Craig and family sticker mutilation observations. Then I decided to change my URL.

Holly is way better at this.

So when Shauna threatened to go grassroots in order to move Potluck to meme status, I threw in my two cents – Hell. Yeah. It’s from Holly – how can this go wrong?!

But then I remembered I’d have to actually write my own randomness, not just link to hers, so yeah, get prepared.

Here we go.

What’s on Ash’s kitchen island:

People magazine with Sandra Bullock and her beautiful baby boy on the cover, compliments of thoughtful friend Julie mentioned above, one box of Pixar Cars Band Aids (which reminds me, we didn’t do Youngest’s blood test last night – awesomeness), updated insurance cards (note to Hubs - take it slow today), and four pieces of random plastic storage containers waiting for me to put away because, for some reason, even after three years of living in the same house, beloved Hubs still has no idea which cabinet door hides their respective mates.

Mood outlook for the week:

I’m going with Navy blue. Until BP plugs that pipe, this chica is going to be driven to distraction with all the news coverage.

Random milestone that should be celebrated:

When kids are able to manage that whole nose blowing thing.

Word I will work into a conversation this week:

“Unprecedented”

And there you have it. My first shot at Potluck. I’ll aim higher next Monday.

Now serving more deliciousness:
