So, IHOP's offering free pancakes for Shrove Tuesday...

And the only string attached is that they ask you to donate to charity (but you don't have to, of course). The one they suggest is completely noncontroversial - First Book.

Even though my inner cynic knows this is just a marketing ploy, the rest of me is getting warm fuzzy feelings for IHOP right now.

Pictures! Including bad ones of the baby....

First things first - JENN! Email me the rest of those pictures! I have room in my email! Trust me!

Ahem.

Now then.

( Ana and her friend Meghan (with Meghan's Mom's permission) )

( Ana and the baby, with rattle )

( Me and the two of them, making rabbit ears )

( The baby and Ana, you can *just* see the spaceship onesie )

( Ana and a book and a bear, six months old )

( Jenn and the two of them, no rabbit ears )

( Ana and her wooden stacking train )

( Ana and the baby, again. )

Too much flash. Must wean self from flash.

Oooh...

So, first, I post on metaquotes about a site I found in cleolinda's journal - Hidden Passageway.

That's nifty enough, but in the comments, squeeful directed me towards CastleMagic.

So, let me get this straight: With the right kind of money, I can have a castle and all the secret passageways and rooms I want?

COOOOOOOL!

Now I just need the right kind of money.
