Out of 185 comments (who knew a free dress giveaway would beat my engagement announcement and my hate letter post in comments) Random.org chose June Bug.

Facts and figures.

August 3, 2010

A few things you should know. Fact: Being a mother makes it nearly impossible to conform to the rigidity of today’s corporate culture. I am buried in work. Buried does not mean drowning, nor does it mean ungrateful – it just means that I am swamped with the extremely fulfilling and exciting business of being [...]
