So, there’s a lot of devastation in our country today. People whose homes have been lost, people whose children have been lost. It’s difficult to comprehend. I really don’t know what to say about it, and the post I had planned to write about the house plant that I keep in a state of purgatory hovering between life and death seems like a waste of breath (although I can’t promise I won’t write it next week when I have nothing else to say).

In unrelated news, but really, it’s kind of related, I saw this video yesterday, and I wanted to pass it along. It’s long, but it’s worth it.

Hi everyone! Tomorrow I’m co-hosting a twitter party about skin care for Neutrogena, and you’re invited!

Join dermatologist Dr. Doris Day and Neutrogena, the number one dermatologist-recommended skincare brand, for a Twitter party to discuss how you can do some “spring cleaning” for your skin, the importance of daily facial cleansing, and the best products to help you during the seasonal change.

Dr. Doris Day will be joining us for the party and sharing her tips and expertise and answering your skincare questions.

The twitter party is tomorrow, May 16, at 12:00 noon EST! Join in by following/using #NTGDERM. You can see the details and RSVP via this Twtvite: http://twtvite.com/NTGDERM

But what’s a twitter party without prizes?? Throughout the party, we will be giving away prize baskets with Dr. Day’s favorite Neutrogena skincare products, including:

Pore Refining Daily Cleanser
Pore Refining Toner
Pore Refining Exfoliating Cleanser
Deep Clean Long-Last Shine Control Cleanser/Mask
Oil-Free Moisture Broad Spectrum SPF 35
Ultra Gentle Daily Cleanser

The party will be hosted by the lovely ladies at The Motherhood – make sure to follow them! @theMotherhood, @CooperMunroe, @EmilyMcKhann. I’ll be co-hosting along with a number of other bloggers.

Hope to “see” you there!

Disclosure: I’m being compensated for my time, but my opinions and goofy Tweets are all my own.

Kate’s 9th birthday was Monday.

Ninth.

That seems so old. She’s halfway to 18, a thought that’s quite disturbing to me.

Andy and I were reminiscing about her first few days, and it seems like yesterday and forever ago all at the same time.

“We had no idea what we were doing,” I told Andy, as we remembered.

In a lot of ways, we still don’t. But we’ve wound up with one amazing kid. She’s smart and kind and funny and I am so, so proud of her.

Happy birthday, baby girl.
