Casual Friday with Mir—because some days are made for wearing your jeans and surfing the blogs.

Goooooood morning! I’m bright-eyed and bushy-tailed today, except for the tail part. (Though if enough caffeine can cause you to grow a tail, I’ll report back.)

For your reading pleasure this fine Friday:

I don’t know how I stumbled upon Whiskeymarie, but her Chronicles of Hairnia post is sheer brilliance.

As long as you’re basking in the glow of embarrassment, check out Isabel’s recent birthday party experience.

When someone does something that irritates me, I go visit Passive-Aggressive Notes and read until I realize that I’m being ridiculous. (It generally only takes a couple of posts.)

Love mom blogs? Wish you could find a definitive listing of the latest posts from the top mom blogs all in one place? Meet Alltop. I could lose the entire day, surfing from there.
