Change the topic!

I'm embarking on a new batch of Chickenpants, so I have a feeling I won't be able to update the blog for a bit. So, to clear the decks, something bouncy and upbeat:

No? Okay, how about this:

Enjoy. See you in a bit.

A really awful way to find out people care about you - **Updated**

I've been cleaning up the hugest mess all day. Earlier today (Friday), my Gmail account was hacked. The one I've had forever, the one that's linked to everything. And then, shortly after, my outdated but still linked to lots of things Yahoo email was hacked. And then, apparently, an old Facebook account that I can no longer get into. And then I'm pretty sure the world burst into flames.
To sum up, no, I'm not mugged and penniless in London. Actually, I've never been to London. I'm home with a newborn. These shysters made up quite the worrying message to beg money off of everyone I've ever emailed.
I've been utterly inundated with concerned phone calls, texts, tweets, carrier pigeons, etc etc etc making sure that I'm okay, and that I know I've been hacked. (I know.)
If you received one of these horrid email turds, please delete it. And accept my sincere apologies that you had to look at such nonsense. And accept this metaphorical ice cream cone.
If you're one of the concerned ones who contacted me in some way, the above still applies, but please accept TWO metaphorical ice cream scoops. I love you.

**Update - 4/30**
I just received a screen shot of the email that was sent out. Turns out, they want you to reply to an Yahoo email address that is very close to mine that they set up for EVIL. I don't use Yahoo, haven't for a few years.
I am so creeped out and frustrated right now. Eeeep.

Tweet, tweet.

Instead of showering or finishing a shrug that Olive will never wear or cleaning or eating lunch, I've been fiddling around with That Can Be My Next Tweet.
I blame The Bloggess.
Basically, the site takes what you've tweeted previously, and churns it into new and exciting tweets you can use, such as:


And:

New post on TYoLS! Luke, use the last night! Who designed these things? Seriously, it's out again? Agggh.

Doing OK, how to prove it! Joss Whedon ftw! Ahhhh!! Yes. I know WHAT YOU'RE SINGING!

It was the last week of all things- including moderation. Jaques Pepin photo by Headache.

Thanks for all the creative response to cry. Nice! Ha! I can't waddle around anymore!

Really happy with felt scraps in the search. ^_^ I'll make Joss Whedon wearing a disturbance in felt...

Apparently, I tweet about Joss Whedon more than I thought I did.
But it's not just a handy funhouse snapshot of what you tweet about. There's also profound gobledygook, such as:

This one was my personal favorite:
