Hello! I have two terribly interesting pieces of news to share with you today.

First off, I wanted to let you know that this coming Friday (June 29th, 2007) is Wrong Trousers Day. Now, I would love Wrong Trousers Day even if it was simply a day to celebrate Wallace and Gromit in The Wrong Trousers or even if it was just a day to wear ridiculous pants. That’s just how I am. But it turns out that Wallace and Gromit creator Nick Park went and started an entire foundation dedicated to helping sick kids throughout the UK.

I didn’t think it was possible for me to love Nick Park any more than I already do, but look! I just did! When I found that out! So there you go. It’s a great cause and I’m not clear if those of us outside the UK can play along with Wrong Trousers Day, but I’m guessing they wouldn’t turn our money down if we offered, so there you go.

In less exciting (and non-pants-related) news, your intrepid Toy Box Mommy has decided to take her own advice for once and take a vacation. I know! I’m surprised, too. But it’s happening. So: You will have to enjoy the rest of your week on your own (perhaps filled with anticipation for Wrong Trousers Day), and then please do have a wonderful time up through the 4th of July holiday, and I will be back on the 5th.

Don’t do anything I wouldn’t do, while I’m gone. (Fortunately for you, that gives you quite a bit of latitude.) See you next week!
