Got a loose tampon in the purse! I HATE it when I go to pull a pen out of my purse and it turns out to be a tampon. SO embarassing. Almost as bad as my cousin with the panty liner stuck to her phone. Yesterday I go to pull a receipt out of my purse and it’s a tampon wrapper. Leaving me wondering in horror where the contents are. Had to go fishing for it when I got home. OH THE HUMANITY!

Speaking of purse contents? After I had my second child, Steve and I had gone out on a date. The first time alone in, like, 8 months. I go to get a breath mint out of my purse, and I can’t even find gum. And yet? I found a pacifier, a bottle of bean-o, baby tylenol and a tampon. I have much more sexy things in my purse now that the the kids are older. I’ve got epi-pens and Benedryl, adult tylenol, lipstick, gum, the key to my gym locker, my iPod and yes, still tampons. Sigh. Mah purse is SEXY ya’ll!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What’s in YOUR purse or murpse (man purse)? ;)

I thought I would be better today. I thought I would be able to shake it off. And yet? This is me:

And this:

Humorous Pictures

 

Oh and this:

Humorous Pictures

 

So um yeah. I’m not better. But? Since I can’t be funny, I give you the internetz. With the glorious search terms people used to get here:

white poo in children
rabbit on a pogo stick
cooking kitchen naked sex
twisty cats (there’s a huge cat theme going here)
cat washing ass
evil cats
ugliest cat
cat teeth cavity
cats pink nipples
cracked out cat
cats wearing socks
ugliest cat in the world
ugliest people
dont ever piss off your maid of honor
whites have recessive genes (WTF?)
“getting high” + pressing on chest
recipe pot brownies
pill bottle with people falling out (lay off the pot brownies then)
dog hernia on breast (did you know dogs had breast? I did not know that.)
septic squishy (shudder)
worlds ugliest baby (my friend had one of those…)

So this time around, the devil sex and satan worship is out and the ugly people, babies and cats are in. Actually anything cats. In the last couple of weeks, I’ve had around 4,000 hits based on ugly humans and kittehs. lol. I have no idea what all the getting high stuff is about….. but we DO NOT serve pot brownies here. Did I talk about pot brownies? I don’t think I did. Well, now I’m talking about them. But I wasn’t talking about them before. Oh WAIIITTTTTTTTTT. I was talking about pot blocks and recipes for brownies. And the search engines went and twisted up all my words. Hrummmphh. Now I’m back to creme of angry soup. I have the recipe if you want it.

 

Steve called from China to inform me that I have been banned in the PRC (People’s Republic of China.) That’s right folks, my blog is now blocked in China. He blames you all and me. :D FREE TIBET!

I’m out of town with no internet access. Went to Louisiana to visit my Grandma. I have some pre- written posts for your perusal. I’ll answer comments when I get back. :) Hang on, people, I’ll be back soon. :)

People: The sickness got me. Oh did it get me. Been to the ER already. This is the sickest I’ve been in more than a decade. I’ll be back to answer all your comments when I can sit upright for longer than 15 seconds.

Peace,

Helen

WordPress has a cool new feature called summarize more. It summarizes recent stats for search terms. Upon examining mine, I feel like somehow I’m misrepresented…or that I should be disturbed, because? Um, look:

Some suprising search term stats: 
Envy Phone: 1,959
Bathe me rant: 1,050
Naked Cooking: 500
Satanism: 101
Rolfing: 86
Catholic Guilt: 82
Halloween Sex: 67
Smartass: 62
Devil Sex: 58
Tit massage: 55

I have no idea how this happened. I hardly EVER naked cook while talking on my envy phone, while ranting about being bathed during my satan worship at which time I’ve been known to have devil sex, but only when it’s Halloween sex and they give tit massages during rolfing which gives me terrible Catholic guilt. And I am NEVER, EVER a smartass. This is just SO surprising! ;D

So after posting the ten commandments of marriage Moses Steve decided to get all mouthy in the comment section whereby he decided he was going to leave the toilet seat up from now on due to a hokey mathmatical formula he developed. Observe:

1. Let’s do the the math on this people. While I will buy that women need seat down 100% of the time, although I think men need it down closer to 25% of the time. Now you must factor in that the population of our household is 75% men and 25% women, so 25% of the people need the seat down 100% of the time while 75% need it down only 25%. 25% of 100 plus 75% of 25 equals 43.75. I’ll even give you .25%, so we find that only 44% of bathroom trips require the seat turned down. Majority rules, as you say, so in our household that means SEAT UP! )

My reply was:

Steve- I called a locksmith and changed the locks. You will only be admitted to the house 44% of the time. P

Enter the finger of God. Last night when he went outside to feed the dogs, I locked him out and posted a sticky note to the door that said:

Payback, you Biotch! :)

Every now and then I glance at the internet search terms bringing people here and laugh my ass off. Then I’ll usually do a whole post on them. But today? Lemme leave you with just the one today….balls hurt after running. LOL!

I really find it hard to whore myself out promote my blog and I’m terrible about link love, when I know it’s so important. So today internet, I’m asking for your help. It usually takes me awhile once people start coming here regularly to get them onto my blogroll. Not because it’s hard, but I shall plead laziness. So I want you, my dear reader, to visit my blogroll and see if your name is on it. Also check to make sure that the link is to the correct place (sorry Melusine!) Because what happens is that I add people to my bloglines and then forget to add them to the blogroll or vice versa. If I have been a lazy biotch remiss, please leave me a link in the comments and I will add you. I promise not to cry or throw a tantrum if you don’t add me to YOUR blogroll, but I will stare at you with sad, woeful eyes until you do. ;D I also will stare longingly at you, perhaps drooling on occasion, until you add me to your technorati favorites. ;) Feel free to also chastise me on my technorati favorites issues and then leave me a button or tell me where to go to add you. Realize of course, that this may require some significant DELURKING (You know who you are!) on the part of CERTAIN PEOPLE. Yes, I’m looking at YOU!
Add to Technorati Favorites

Also, Ethan’s Mama did not feel properly singled out on a meme because I pulled from my bloglines list. However, she should know that I belatedly found out that it only linked back to bloglines and not to the original websites so I had to go in painstakingly one by one and do it properly. I only wish I had a really long meme right now to tag JUST her with so she’d feel properly loved. :D Sadly, I do not. Oh wait. What about the 100 things about you? How about that? ;D

Ok, that’s about all the whoring blog marketing I can stand for now. I feel dirty. I think I need to go shower again.

You bring me the internet search terms, I answer with the wisdom of thousands of years. Bow before me. I will provide the answers for these poor souls searching for answers, just in case they come back. I was going to have the search terms etched into stone tablets, but they got all heavy…… ;D

SPANISH WORD FOR PANIC ATTACK: Oh! Oh! I got this one! P-A-N-I-C-O   A-T-T-A-C-K-O. Seriously. What were you expecting?!?! It’s like Dorito and Burrito. Sheesh.

smell of death out of your house: I recommend C-L-E-A-N-I-N-G.

kung fu leg sweep: Oh! Oh! I got this one too. Here, come closer…

I WANT ENGLISH SPEAK: I’m sorry. I can’t help you. No speaka english. Only Spanish. P-A-N-I-C-O   A-T-T-A-C-K-O. Dorit-O. Burrit-O.

exlax cookie and cake recipes: Really? You’d do that? Cuz I was kidding. But if you find one? Call me?

susan naked in the kitchen: Damned if people don’t just keep coming back for that one. Susan? Little help? 

ingredients for stewart’s diet drinks: Oh! Oh! I can help here too! C-R-A-P-O-L-A.

she cracks his nuts in karate: Actually, I didn’t thankyouverymuch. I cracked my kneecap on his nut cup. Now let’s not talk about that anymore….

m&m angry: Yes, those M&Ms suffer from severe anger isssues. You should just go ahead and eat them before they get all irate and talkie…

my dogs stomach is making weird noises: It’s called D-I-G-E-S-T-I-O-N.  Damn, people are stupid today. Can I get some peasants with some intelligent questions here?

EVIL HELL DEVIL JESSICA: Snirk. I know a Jessica or three, but don’t you think that’s a little harsh? I’ve never seen any of them perform satanic rituals. EVAH.

why does my wife push me to loose my temper: Because that’s what we do. We’re under contract to do that. The minute we take our vows. It has nothing to do with you not doing what we wanted you to do. Promise.

;D

 

You just got RickRolled. :D

I subscribe to slang o’ the day on Google and this was today’s slang.

Origin: Computer/Internet Slang
Definition: Being duped into watching a Rick Astley YouTube video.

Just so you know, I was brutally RickRolled first. ;) I made sure I RickRolled Steve and the kids too. Son #1 stared wide eyed and slack jawed at the screen and said “Mom? What the hell is that?” :D

Update: I rickrolled my brother in law. He said “What the HELL?!?!” while I laughed my ass off then said “But I can’t stop watching it…..it’s like a train wreck…..sweet pants…..” lol.

It’s that time of year where bloggers all over the world start awarding and memeing and in general spreading blogly joy. And I know I just made up a whole bunch of words, but since the blog police were laid off for Christmas, I’m pretty much doing what I want. ;)   Oh wait. I always do that. So Judy awarded me a Merry Christmas award. I’m not really sure what it is, but it sure is puuurrttttty, isn’t it? Since I never follow the rules, if you’re reading this, you just got Merry Christmas awarded. ;) Because that’s how I roll.

merryxmasaward.jpg

So then I’m surfing around, minding my own business, when Tendrils decided to maim me. I mean meme me. Hey, that’s three me’s in a row. MEME ME! No, I haven’t been hitting the eggnog.  It’s always like this in my head. ;)

SO without further ado, my Christmas maim. I mean, meme. Oooohhh three me’s again. ;)

Wrapping paper or gift bags? Gift bags are somehow wrong at Christmas time. Annoyingly so. Especially due to peekers. So I wrap ‘em.

Real tree or artificial? I’ve never in my life had an artificial tree. We usually go to a tree farm and cut down our own, although the last 2 years we’ve used the same live tree and will drag it inside again this year. One year when I was single and broke, some of my friends showed up at the door with a Christmas tree with lights already on it. I suspect that they liberated it from someplace, but I was overjoyed to have a tree. That’s what friends are for. To steal shit for you for Christmas. ;)

When do you put up the tree? Sigh. It’s still not up.

When do you take the tree down? When it becomes embarassing to still have the tree up. lol.

Do you like eggnog? No. Ew. lol.

Favorite gift received? Christmas 2000. My son.

Do you have a nativity scene? Yes. But son #1 would not stop playing with it when he was little and several of the figures are broken. He broke the baby Jesus!

Hardest person to buy for? Ugh. My father. Hands down. He hates everything you give him and returns it and has everything he needs. He even shops for himself around Christmas time just to make sure no one can buy him anything he likes. His sister is the exact same way. I don’t even give her gifts anymore because she hates them. Sigh.

Easiest person to buy for? Son #1.

Worst Christmas gift you ever received? I was engaged many moons ago to someone else and he gave me a mixer for Christmas. I don’t know if that was the worst, but certainly an odd gift from a fiance. Turned out I loved that mixer more than him and still have it. lol.

Mail or email Christmas cards? Neither. Since having children I just don’t even do it. lol. I suck.

Favorite Christmas movie? The old Rudolph movie with the clay animation. I LOVE those movies.

When do you start shopping for Christmas? Ideally in October. But that doesn’t always happen these days.

Have you ever recycled a Christmas present?  No. I just can’t bring myself to do that. There’s something inherently wrong with that.

Favorite thing to eat at Christmas? Fudge. Oh God, the fudge. Reminds me of my grandma.

Clear lights or colored on the tree? Clear.

Favorite Christmas song? It’s a real toss up between White Christmas by Johnny Mathis and Jimmy Buffet’s Christmas Island. lol.

Travel at Christmas or stay home? We try to stay home. We’ve spent the last 15 years being pulled from my family’s to his and we’ve finally put our foot down and said we’re staying home.

Can you name all of Santa’s reindeer? Yes. I just checked.

Angel on the tree top or a star? Depends. Son #2 loves the tacky aluminum foil star glued onto a toilet paper roll but I secretly love the angel.

Open the presents Christmas Eve or morning? We let the kids open a few on Christmas Eve, but save the majority for Christmas morning.

Most annoying thing about this time of year? OBNOXIOUS SHOPPERS!

What I love most about Christmas? The magic of the season and watching people open gifts I’ve given them.

Since it’s Christmas and I want to spread the love around, I’m given’ ya’ll ALL the Merry Christmas award AND maiming, I mean, memeing you. Thank you, Bloglines, for making it so easy to tag 50 people. LOL! Happy Holidays everyone!

Why oh WHY would someone do an internet search for “buttcrack wounds” and why OH WHY would that bring them here? I have NEVER EVER talked about buttcrack wounds. I don’t even talk about buttcracks. Sigh. I get the whole naked cooking thing. We’ve discussed naked cooking although Susan is still refusing to admit she naked cooked. She’s in Hawaii so I can get away with trash talk until she gets back online. Until then: SUSAN NAKED COOKS, EVERYONE!

But I digress. We were not talking about buttcrack wounds and the people who have them. I think that was the same guy who searched for “breath smells like dog crap.” Dude. I recommend you stop eating dog crap. It’s bad for you and you could get sick. Not to mention that’s nastier than your buttcrack wounds.

Also, who the hell searched for “Can you eat raccoons?” WTF is WRONG with you?!?! Hell no! You can NOT eat raccoons and that fact that you asked means you are no longer welcome here.

And just to round out the freak show around here, the person who searched for cow manure fragrance oil is also banned from EVER EVER coming here again. ;)

My friend Amy sent me this poem today:

May your stuffing be tasty
May your turkey plump,
May your potatoes and gravy
Have never a lump.
May your yams be delicious
And your pies take the prize,
And may your
Thanksgiving dinner
Stay off your thighs!

Happy Thankgiving! Remember: Eat Tofu! ;D

I’ve decided I’m going to have a contest. The winner will get a $25 gift certificate to Amazon. The idea came to me today when Ree was complaining that she pledged to blog for 30 days straight and had consequently gotten writer’s block. I then gave her 23 topics to blog on, cuz I’m helpful like that. The contest is called “No Mo’ Writer’s Block” and all you have to do is write an entry on one of the twenty three topics I gave Ree. The more topics you choose, the more chances you have of winning. Link back to me and write in the comments the topic you chose and where I can find your entry. First time commenters will be moderated so be patient for your comments to appear. Contest closes December 1. Steve and I will pick the top 10 best/funniest entries and let everyone vote on the best one. So without further ado, here are your topics:

Possums
Spleens
Feet
Public Bathrooms
Chocolate
Neighbors
Relatives
Dogs
Beets
Noses
At our house, we….
Wifely duties
That kid did WHAT?!
The weirdest food you ever ate
The one creature you’re most terrified of….
Things that crawl
Pet peeves
The things I found under the couch cushions…
Your most embarassing moment
A boy (or girl) you loved in school
It’s funny when people trip
What you wanted to be when you grew up
THAT outfit you wore (extra points for pictures)

Bonus Topic: I’m never eating that again….

Ok, GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was visiting Melissa’s blog last night, laughing my hindquarters off, when I get to the end of the post and realize—DOH! I’ve been tagged. Yes, I was specifically picked to tell you eight random facts about myself.

1. I hate reality TV. I can not understand how people WANT to humiliate themselves on national television. Those jackasses jumping up and down behind reporters? I almost die of embarassment for them. I can’t watch. It’s worse than public speaking. I don’t like cameras, watching myself on camera, and even pictures are a stretch. It’s an illness, I know.

2. Here’s a random fact: As a freshman in high school, I was named Varsity MVP for swimming. I lettered all four years in swimming.

3. By the time I was ten years old, I had a cake decorating business. That’s right folks, you can just call me mini Martha.

4. People that have been coming here for a long time know that I hate feet. That’s right, feet. I can’t stand ugly feet. And it’s very rare that people have attractive feet. Sometimes it makes me nauseous just looking at someone’s feet. <shudder>

5. If you met me on the street, you would think I have a “west coast” accent. When we moved to the west coast from Louisiana when I was a teenager, I used to sit in my room and practice saying words like a Californian because I was teased so relentlessly. My “west coast” accent is nearly flawless, except if I’m drunk, tired or talking to another southerner. There are still words I struggle with constantly and sometimes you will hear me repeating a word several times to get it right. Words I still struggle with: towel, stroller, Tyler, horrible, wash, and thing (if I’ve been talking to someone from the south. THANG is hard to shake.) Actually, most words that end in “er” are hard. It’s sort of like the Hollywood actors who have had a voice coach and are imitating an accent. I slip up every now and then.

6. I loathe dirty children. I can’t stand snotty noses, dirty faces or smelly kids. My children are bathed, with their hair washed, every single day. Their clothes are clean and unstained. Even when they are sick, I will bathe them before taking them to the doctor. My children have never been out in public in their pajamas. When the kids were younger, if my friends or relatives brought over their kids and they were dirty, into the bathtub they all went. Dirty kids don’t leave my house still dirty. Now that the kids are older, I have to tolerate more filth from other children. But in the summer, I tell them it’s time to play in the sprinkler. That way, kids still leave clean. I’m sneaky that way. You wouldn’t believe how bad fifth graders can start to smell. It’s another illness, I know.

7. I love numbers and hate math. I memorize tons of numbers like phone numbers, birthdates, social security numbers, driver licenses, credit card numbers, etc. It’s frightening the strings of numbers stored in my head. I have to focus to NOT memorize every phone number I dial or pattern of numbers I come across. But math? HATE. IT.

8. I can change a tire. In fact, when I was 7 months pregnant, I ended up with two flat tires while Steve was out of town and changed three of the tires that afternoon because I had to put the spare on the back. I was so pregnant that when I sat down, I had to open up my legs so that my belly could rest on the ground while I was changing it. When son #1 was in first grade I got a flat tire at school and as I was scooting under the car (the spare was stored underneath) a crowd of moms gathered to watch me because none of them knew how to change a tire and all of them wanted to know why I didn’t call road service. (Duhhh, I can have the tire changed and be gone before road service even gets there.)

So there you have it, eight, random, weird facts about yours truly. And guess what? I’m passing the meme onto: Jessica, Alfred, Judy, Hotfessional, Mommy has Tattoos, A mommy story, Jeff, Charlie, Beau, Heather, Dr Bolte, Brandy, and Dawn.

Talk about panic. A complete heart attack. I typed in the URL of my blog, and suddenly I’m looking at a p()rn page. I stared open mouthed and went “HOLLLLLLLLEEEEEEEEYYYYYYYYYYY SH!!!!!!!!!!!!TTTTTTTTTTTTTTT! They hijacked my blog!” And of course, as what always happens when you accidently open up one of ‘em pages, the kids are talking to you and about to walk into full view of your screen. I started to sweat and frantically tried to click on another window, when…..my computer just hung there. Sh!t the bed, with p()rn on the screen! “DAMMMITTTT!!!!!” I screeched, which only made the kids take notice.  So I slammed my laptop shut, sweating, cursing and praying the kids didn’t see that. After they walked away and my heart rate returned to normal, I sat there wondering how I was going to fix this. I mean it’s not every day your blog gets hijacked by a bunch of perverts. Ok, well maybe yours does, but mine doesn’t. ;)

I carefully looked around to make sure I’m not in danger of being surprised by the kids again. I slowly open my laptop again. Yep. It’s p()rn. I checked the URL again. Yep. It’s mine. Another thing I learned after having to throw my body in front of the screen to protect the children’s eyes and innocence is that if you click ANYWHERE on the window, like, to try to close or move it, it opens up, like, forty more windows, with penises and vaginas galore. I’ve had to yank the power cord out of the wall before  while screaming NO! NO! NO! It really tends to draw attention to yourself, if you ask me, but when I panic, I can’t help myself.

I carefully made sure to open another window clicking FAR AWAY from the offending window. I don’t even want to move that window or for sure I’ll be looking at a three foot long penis. Miraculously, my blog comes up. So I peer closer at the OTHER window. I check the URL again, I notice that it IS my URL but one letter was left out. So somebody intentionally stole my blog URL for a p()rn site so that if someone makes a typo, they get the p()rn. Isn’t there a law against this?! Those chicks don’t even look like me! ;)

My search engine referrals are an endless source of entertainment. Sometimes I will sit there laughing so hard I’m crying. Other times I will just stare blinking at the screen in shock. And sometimes I wonder how whoever searched for this, gets through the day without a helmet. So now, for your perusal, some search terms from the last seven days along with some color commentary from yours truly:

trampoline slut (so jumpy with the whoriness)

how to speak slowly (Directions: move mouth and tongue s-l-o-w-e-r)

torture bra (I’ve got a few of those. Would you like to borrow one?)

crunchy pain in chest (You’re eating too many chips. Lay off.)

are we going to san francisco (Sigh. You’re asking me?)

photos susan naked (I’m sorry, she’s not cool with me posting those.)

clean my chi (I am CONSTANTLY trying to clean my chi. It gets so filthy!)

I think I’m going to get fired (Perhaps you should get off the internet and get to work?)

I swear. All the weirdos come here. Sigh. ;)

Do I look fat? No junk in my teeth? I’m all teary and I don’t want to mess up my make up. My peeps are showing me such love. First, my new bestest buddy Hotfessional awarded my post on how much I was struggling over my youngest finally starting all-day school a perfect post award for August. Sniff. You are so sweet. Mmmmmwwwwaaaaa!

Perfect Post Award for August 2007

 

Then if that wasn’t enough, my sug-ah sweet OTHER bestest new buddy, Judy, awarded me a you make me smile award. I’m, sniff, feeling so much love here, sniff sniff.

makemesmilelargebv.jpg

 

My duty after receiving such an award is that I am supposed to pass it on to ten people who make me smile. I award this to the people who make me laugh before I can even see what their comments say, or make me smile when I see they have a new entry. Thank you for all the smiles you bring to me. In alphabetical order: Acid Indignation, Boh-logging, Hearts Wide Open, Maryamie, My life as a Hotfessional, Oh the Joys, Pointless Drivel, Space and Time, Texblog, The Underpaid Kept Woman.

Oh look, a wardrobe malfunction. I knew I should have worn a bra instead of pasties….

The more “famous” you become as a blogger, the more you come in contact with the trolls. I’m not sure what possesses people to enter a chatroom, go on a blog, or just roam the internet looking for fights. I’ve seen a lot of good people brought to their knees by trolls. I’ve seen flame wars and unspeakable things said. Why? Any normal person doesn’t just walk up to someone they don’t know and start a fight. Is it that the cloak of invisibility they wear on the internet is what they think is protecting them? Let me let you trolls in on a little secret: You are not invisible. And if you leave a comment on my blog, your IP address is recorded. Then, with my very savvy skillz I can track you to where you live. Hell, you don’t even need to leave a comment, I can still see you. I can even use satellite technology to look at your house. And I will do it.

Awhile back there were some kids messing around and they left an anonymous message on my blog saying they were going to kill themselves. I had a friend who killed himself so I take that very seriously. Using my mad detective skillz, I tracked them to where they lived. They were not Americans which complicated the matter. I had to contact police in another country. They felt the threat was serious enough that they went out to the house to investigate. It turned out to be some kids thinking they were funny. It didn’t turn out to be very funny when the police showed up.

My point? I see you, trolls. This is my living room. You will not come in my house and start a flame war. You will not come into my house and spew venom all over my words. I will not engage with you. I will simply delete you. If your actions require law enforcement, have no fear, that no matter where you live, they will come knocking on your door.

This public service announcement has been provided to you by a woman with two wild boys and PMS. Don’t mess with me.

Iced Mocha always comes up with the coolest blog doodads EVER….

Over the weekend I finally figured out what had been contributing to my ongoing sense of malaise. I realized that for more than three weeks, I had only seen Steve a total of 4 days. Four. For almost a month. Between our travel schedules and work, we were apart. And I realized another thing. No big, belly laughs for a month. This, people, can really mess with you. Friday night was the first time we really got to spend some together and ended up cracking each other up. There was the withering banter, smart ass comments and our usual scuffles for the remote, feather pillow and the last drop of milk. And did I mention that hottie I’m married to went and lost himself more than 20 pounds? So he is HOT with a capital H! Of course, this has presented a little problem with an escalating taste in HOT clothing and a newfound love of Lucky jeans. Sigh. I remember having to limit myself to a pair, like, every six months. He got three pairs the other day. Curse that hot husband of mine!

But I digress. Belly laughs. And you helped too, dear internet. I was catching up on bloglines and laughed myself to tears on Friday. First there was Mr. Fab. If more women allowed their husbands to run amok, this would be the result. I admire the fact that Mrs. Fab is so absolutely tolerant. I try to shoot Steve down before the ideas are allowed to fully form. ;) Also, I would never leave him alone with an entire tube of blue food coloring. ;)

Then I was perusing The Underpaid Kept Woman’s blog where I feel a kindred spirit with Susie Sunshine, the sassy mother of four boys. Her conversation with Ikea Anna had me laughing so hard I couldn’t catch my breath.

Have you, your pets or your family ever been skunked? I was already laughing when I saw the picture because my parent’s dog was skunked years ago. *MY* dogs are far too smart for that. ;) I had to endure daily calls from my mother begging for suggestions to get rid of the smell. And when I finally made my way over to inspect the situation, the dog was completely ashamed of himself. He knew he was a pariah. It took nearly a month for him to stop stinking so badly he had to stay outside. And I smelled phantom skunk smell for months. I wouldn’t even pet him without checking to see if the smell rubbed off on my hands for probably six months afterward. Anyway, Hotfessional made me laugh until I cried.

Things are not totally back to normal, though. I’m having to drink multiple cups of coffee every day. I haven’t completed a sentence in weeks and I refuse to talk on the phone, but I’m getting there, dear internet. I’m gettin’ there…..Keep the belly laughs comin’…….

You’re old now! ;) Notice I didn’t say “older.” It’s because you’ve now joined the ranks of old, falling apart, things don’t work, people. :D

Judy has honored me with the Rockin’ Girl Blogger Award. Thank you! I really enjoy being rockin’! ;)

rockin.jpg

And now I’m supposed to award some rockin’ girls the award. So without further ado:

I met my friend, Tina, eight years ago in an iVillage infertility chatroom. We know things about each other no two humans should ever have discussed. ;) We met in real life a few years later. Tina’s infertility journey unfortunately was much longer than mine, but ended last month when she brought home baby Isabel from an orphanage in Kyrgystan. Tina has chronicled her journey most eloquently and so I honor her with a rockin’ girl blogger award and send her huge congratulatory cyber hugs. I plan on meeting this darling baby in August. ;) XOXOXOX Tina!

I’ve got to stop meeting people like this, but a couple of years ago I met Maryam through our blogs. Her husband is the famous blogger Robert Scoble and a former Microsoftie. My husband turned me on to Maryam’s blog when he came home one day and said “Hey there’s this blogger at Microsoft whose wife blogs about him like you blog about me. You should read it, you’ll love it.” And he was right. Maryam is now pregnant with their first child and I visit her blog daily to giggle at the surprises pregnancy brings to her.

Beth and I met way back in 1985. We went to high school together. We sat across from each other in art class. Beth is a far better artist than I and often had to bail me out of projects. ;) Thanks Beth! Beth has all the qualities I love in a friend and blogger; a wicked sense of a humor, a side of irony, dripping with sarcasm and a potty mouth to boot! ;D Love you, Beth! ;) Oh and although Beth would have you believe not, she has a beautiful singing voice and totally “could have made it” as a singer.

I am brand new to Candid Yammering, but she writes some riveting, yet thoughtful prose. Check out her most recent post on her mother. It gives new meaning to hellish childhood.

I’ve been reading The Underpaid Kept Woman for quite a long time now and she never fails to make me laugh. There was a several week long series on a flying squirrel in her husband’s office awhile back that had me laughing until I was crying. Pictures were provided. lol.

Although The House of Joy has already been awarded this honor, I just wanted you to know, she is DOUBLE Rockin’! And she has mad photoshop skillz. And she cracks me up. lol.

I am running out of time (the kids are fighting and I must eventually referee this fight before someone ends up bleeding or bruised.)  So without preamble I bestow the honor of rockin’ blogger on Melissa, whom I have read through thick and thin, ups and downs. She’s back on her game and funny as hell. Tendrils’, Pretty in the City, Iced Mocha and Uniquely Moronic are all rockin’ girl bloggers too!!!!!!!

I don’t care if I was only supposed to do five. It’s my award and I’ll do what I want to. :D Put the badge up girls, and rock on!
