~FOR SHAME PEOPLE...FOR SHAME! ~

I truly wanted to pull together a post about my vacation. But I've been so blasted busy catching up on all of the posts that I've missed, that I simply haven't had the time. It's all YOUR fault really...If you people weren't so dang interesting I'd have not gotten caught up in reading your blogs, and I would have time to get my crap together. I hope you all will take a moment to hang your heads and repeat after me......"I (state your name) will try to be less interesting and not so distracting". Now send me cookies and all will be forgiven...unless there are raisens in them and then you'll be in BIGGER trouble than you are in now!

Since I already pulled this post screen up...I guess I can fill in some of the space.


Ya know how everyone is doing that "crapper snapper" thingie. You know...ya go to somebody else's potty and take creepy pictures of yourselves...then Sheila the dear one gives you an award for being weird....errrr....brave. Well I'm sure not gonna be left out! There was only one little problem.........

HEY is it my fault the mirrors are so freakin high in New York..they must think I'm a center in the NBA...I tried...really....it's just not my fault I'm vertically challenged. Do you think Sheila will give me a pass on this one? Probably not since I was too worn out by my WHIRLINGDERVISH MOM to even comb my ratty hair. How pathetic is that! But I was exhausted and I barely had enough strength to hold up the camera in my chubby little hands. *SIGH*

Now on to more serious matters. Check out this cool award. Artie and Cindy were oh so kind and bestowed it on me! YAY!

Now I know you all know Artie over at "Color outside the lines" He is one very cool, very classy guy. Just having him know who I am makes me feel special. If you haven't been to his blog...oh wait that was just silly ...of course you have, everyone goes there! But in case you're just not that hip and happening...you should go say "hey" to him. You'll fall in love with him just like we all have! And maybe if you're really lucky he'll put you into one of his hysterically funny stories! Thanks so Much Artie!!!

And Cindy at "just another day in paradise" is another one of my favorite bloggers. Not just because she has a wonderful blog and does these really thoughtful posts that make you think, and not just because she sent me these really cool Utah Jazz pens I use everyday at work, but it's also because she is kind and wonderful and I consider her my friend even though we've never met. Go visit her and you'll see exactly what I mean.

And then Tracey over at "I am me" gave me this award. Tracey is an animal lover like me. Although she has about a thousand cats and I don't have any. She takes these wonderful pictures of her sweet pets and I always look forward to seeing her blog. She's kind and has this really big heart...and she makes me smile! Please run over there and check her out! Now I've already gotten this one before...but I'm greedy and will be more than happy to take it again.
