I love magents. I really do. I don't know if it's their ability to suction mysteriously to the fridge (much like I do late at night), or if it's because they can be so fun and kitchy. My favorite fridge magnet? One I got from the National Archives in DC: it's a picture of Elvis shaking Nixon's hand. The pairing just strikes me as odd, and I get a little kick out of seeing it everytime I open the fridge door.
But I am not waxing poetic about magnets for no good reason; au contraire, I have my motivations. See, Amy over at The Lawson's Do Dallas is offering free magents to those who post links to her blog and give her special shout-outs. So, go visit her if you haven't already and have a good chuckle over some of her antics.
If I had been innovative enough, I might too have done something promotional to promote hits on my blog (I am whore for visitors, that's fo sure); but alas, I'm not crafty enough, or clever enough, to come up with an idea like that, and I certainly am not capable of manufacturing magnets (although, some sneaking suspicion tells me that Amy will be violating child labor laws in the manufacturing process; she strikes me as the sort to take advantage of her young son's tiny fingers to produce those promised magnets; but, whatevah! I'm all for puttin' those delicate fingers to work if I get my magnet outta the deal) -- and you people sure as hell aren't getting my Elvis & Nixon shake hands magnet!

Child labor is GREAT! I'm working on getting my own army of workers. Who needs a maid when you can have your own flesh do it for free :P
Yeah, if you are going to start bagging child labor I can't come here anymore. Dang, you did a full on post, I just put her name in there. Gotta rethink my magnet strategy. I wonder if mine will be small now?
I hope there comes a day that Grace can focus on a single task for more than 23 seconds, and we can actually get some work out of her. If I could figure out how to display an episode of Dora on whatever it was I wanted her to do, I'd have no problem. Geez, come to think of it, I'd be RICH!
my mom said child labor sucked big time. something about my head being so big. whatever.
James is gettin really great with that glitter pen!
J-mom cracks me up... "I wonder if mine will be small now!"
I don't have kids, besides the ones at school. Hmmm. Instead of forcing them to do "educational" activities, I could have them working for me. Their parents would never know!
LMAO!! I LOVE child labor...laundry, dishes, cutting grass and of course SHOVELLING SNOW!!!
Glad your getting a new magnet ;)
