\"\"<\/a> I get an e-mail that looks like this every night.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
Is it Spam? (How many Nigerian millionaires ARE there who want to share their inheritances with me????”)<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

No no no…not spam at all. These are cool! This is my friend Maryann’s daily photo album and daily message. In fact, if you linked all these together…you’d have a BLOG<\/a>!<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Which is what she recently did — she and I set up our blogs on the same day, in fact! <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

This woman takes a LOT of pictures. I know many of you get my albums routinely and say “How the heck does Patricia get the time to take\/upload\/caption\/transmit all those pictures????”<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

That’s only because you don’t know Maryann.<\/em> <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Some of you wonder “Where does Patricia have the energy to do all this stuff?”<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

That’s only because you don’t know Maryann.<\/em><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Susan, if you’re reading this, you’re a close SECOND to Maryann! <\/div>\n
<\/p>\n
Maryann has two sons like I do — our older boys are about a month apart in age, our younger ones are exactly 6 months apart. And they’re buddies!<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Maryann: I raise my Frappuchino to you! I need the caffeine to keep up with you!<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n
