Oh boy have I been watching too many episodes of "Toddlers & Tiaras" on TLC. I never meant to watch this show, but yesterday I woke up to a marathon, and that was all she wrote. The world of child beauty pageants is grotesque and anachronistic, and once you've made the mistake of turning your head to glance at it, it's impossible to look away. In between miming their kids' acts while the kids perform, the wacko stage moms often shout to them, "Rock it out, girl!" Or, the kids will tell what they plan to do once they take the stage: "I'm going to rock it!" Whether they do or not depends on your tolerance for the bizarre and the downright scary.Either way, that's my plan for 2011. I'm going to rock it out. I'm going to get on stage and let my freak flag fly.
Happy 2011, and may you rock it too.

I think I've seen Toddlers & Tiaras a few times and was so disgusted afterwards that I never watched again. -- As for your New Year; Rock on !!!
I found your blog while looking up how to make granny squares. Yours are beautiful! Do you have a pic of the finished product?
Happy 2011 to you and the family.
And, woman, let that freak flag fly!
Hey there! What's up? Holla!
