So, I’ve been a lame blogger these past weeks.
There, I’ve said it out loud, and admitting something is the first step towards improving, isn’t it? Usually not, but it always feels therapeutic, and now my guilt is somewhat alleviated. Onward. Onward.
Since inspiration has yet to find me (or I, it), I’ve decided to add a new category called “Happy Heather.†Here you’ll find random things I come across that brighten my day. Today’s “Happy Heather†is for Bekah as it’s a news story from her new homeland. Enjoy.

I doubt it will happen — He won’t lose the weight. The government won’t allow it.
UNLEEEESsss…. he was a contestant on the Biggest Loser Show. Hmm… that might make for a good show. Santa – The Great Pumpkin – Big Bird – That chubby Leppricon guy.
