My VERY FIRST post is up at Five Minutes for Parents. I'm pretty excited to be writing for the Five Minutes people, so it would be swell to have lots of comments over there, hint hint. It's a melancholy summer post, which suits the rainy day we're apparently having.
"Swell"?
It was St. Swithin's Day earlier this week, so I told the Girl about the traditional rhyme:
St Swithun's day if thou dost rain
For forty days it will remain
St Swithun's day if thou be fair
For forty days 'twill rain na mair
She's been very disappointed that our weather isn't complying and instead has been a mix of sunny and rainy all week. Tsk.

St. Swithin's? Is that seriously a real holiday?
I'm off to Wikipedia to check it out. :)
i'm with stacy--gotta get on who saint swithin is!
Yep, it's a real holiday on July 15th!
Yay! You did it and it was really very nice - nice and soft and comfy. Well done! Thank you internet gods, thank you!
I've never heard of St. Swithin, either. I better check it out.
Too funny that she wants all the rain. ;)
Commenting over there was easy, so yay! I trust you dear Beck the knower of all holidays big and small!
It's raining here today, too, providing a much needed break. I love summer, but because the season feels so short, I feel compelled to GO and DO and BE ACTIVE every day it's nice outside. A rainy day can relieve me of that guilt.
I'll pop on over then.
Cheers
Congrats on the new gig. I was checking it out the other day and it's just a great group of writers. You are an asset to them I am sure. I'm heading there now, thanks for the link.
Wonderful job over there Beck! They're lucky to have you!!
Your post over at 5 Minutes for Parenting is so sweet, Beck. It's easy to see your kids have settled into a really nice, get-along-with-each-other summer. Congratulations on a great debut post!
I'm on my way!
Yay for your first post there! It's a great one too.
wow you're just all over the blogosphere! :) Congrats to you on another writing venture!
I'll go check it out right now!
Oh, I've missed you terribly, Beck. When my husband gives me one evening on his laptop (the dsl is back, at least!) who should I look up? Why, BECK, of course! I'm glad I was here to find out about your new gig. Can't wait to look it up.
its the same over at this part of the world too! Its either raining or super hot!
We've been cloudy and rainy all week... hopefully we won't go the full 40 days of this!
I'm now wracking my brain trying to remember if it rained on Tuesday, dangit. Not that I would be totally against 40 days like we're having today which are mildly cloudy and slightly rainy, but at least we're not boiling like a New England (New English?) lobster. *shudder*
I follow you always ... loved the post girl
What a special treat it is to have you as a part of the team... you are awesome.
Steph
Loved the post, Beck! Glad you got another gig for me to read you. (That is said in a non-stalker kind of way, 'k?)
