Step Aside, Dust Bunnies

by in Uncategorized

I’m clearing a place on my desk (Oh, read between the lines. I’m tossing junk in a bag that will be stuffed into a closet and not found for months.) to make room for the fab award bestowed upon me by the lovely LittanyofBritt over at The Littany of Brittany. Thank you!! It’s also a great excuse to send a few dust bunnies {cough, cough} on their way. She created a few awards of her own, and I’m loving this one:



Not only does silver go with everything, but also Duct Tape is just plain awesome. It’s the single most important tool in the garage.

And it looks great with heels.

I don’t even know what that means.

Though, I understand some kids did create prom outfits with Duct Tape:
Well, it’s been an exciting week of firsts here (clearly it doesn’t take much to whip me into a lather). My first giveaway (there’s still time to enter) and now my first official award. A while back, I did get an honorable mention from a blog buddy who has the best name EVER, You’re lucky I Don’t Have a Gun. No, that’s her name. For reals. Well, it isn’t the name on her birth certificate, but it’s how she’s known in blogland, and I think it rocks.

There were no rules attached to this duct tape (Get it? Attached?), but I’d loved to pass along the bloggy love to some fab blogs. I’m sure I’ll forget one that I read regularly and love and leave some poor blogger wounded and trembling in a corner, and for that I’m sorry in advance. Feel free to leave me a flaming bag of something on my doorstep with a note attached that reads, “See if your beloved Duct Tape can get you out of this mess!”

Okay. Clearly I’m in need of some sleep.

Here are the wonderful peeps to whom I’d like to bestow the Bloggy Goodness award:


Kim at The Sky is Falling because she makes me laugh. A lot. 

Tricia at Spokeit, because she takes very cool photos. And blogs about chicken butts. Not exclusively, of course.

April K. at Pink Snails and Puppy Dog Tails because she’s full of The Awesome.

Gettysburgmom at Gettysburg family because she bakes great stuff and loves labs.

Thestampgoddess at Fabulously Artsy because she taught me how to kiss. With rubber stamps, that is. And she makes everything so gosh darn purty.
Zannah at Inane Chatter because she’s down-to-earth and linkalicious! Always finding great stuff to share.
Natalie from Mommy by Day because she braves waterfalls in a kayak. And shares pictures of it. That rocks.
Gina from A Slap in the Face because she comes up with personal challenges for us to try each week.
Bern at So Now What? because she’s a way funny mom who has fab taste in music. And she just wants a little quiet time in the loo. Doesn’t seem like too much to ask.
Bambooska because her cartoon drawings of her daily life make me giggle like a little girl.
The Whispering Writer at Airing my Dirty Laundry, One Sock at a Time because her “Hey, It’s Okay Tuesday” posts crack me the heck up.

You’re Lucky I have a Gun at Things I love to eat (… and other nonsense) because she loves the 80′s almost as much as I do. And she can tackle a pile of parmesean like nobody’s bidness. And I’ve already mentioned how much I <3 her name.

Rebecca at Just Another Blog because it isn’t just another blog! She’s thoughtful and sweet.

Cosmic Noodles for having a great blog name. And sharing a dislike for Frank with me (Bachelorette).

I created this very late last night and now I’m noticing I’ve left out a few fab blogs I need to mention!  {sigh} This is why I hesitate to list blogs, because I like so many, I’m sure to leave some out. And I hate having anyone feel left out. You’re all awesome!

Jennifer at Chaos Wrapped in Chocolate because isn’t everything better when it’s wrapped in chocolate? Plus, she video tapes the ice cream man and his creepy music. That’s funny stuff.

SuzRocks, because, doesn’t the name say it all? Be sure to salute Lt. Suz when you stop by her blog.

Jodie at Mummy Mayhem because she features hot (and sometimes not?) men on her blog each week.

Gas Station Cappuccino because she had me at her occupation description: Teacher.Wife.Mom.CrazyPerson.

If I’ve still left out anyone, please keep in mind that I’ve managed to forget almost everyone’s birthday in my extended family this year. This is why I hesitate to list blog names. I hate leaving anyone out. :P You all rock!

My brain is now officially on vacation. Must. Go. Tag. Items for garage sale.

If any of you feel like passing along the bloggy love, have at it. If not, simply bask in the silvery shimmer of your roll of Bloggy Goodness Duct Tape!

    HUGS YOU.

    Thank you! :-) I love yours the same reason you love mine. I think my favorite of your posts is "While I was Out." That grouping. So funny.

    Also, I have a good friend who is 24 and STILL has a wallet made entirely of duct tape. Some things never go out of style. Er… yes.

    I LOVE duct tape- although as I told kim, when I first looked at the picture, I thought it was toilet paper and then I wondered why I got a toilet paper award. Confusion is all cleared up now.

    Anywho- thanks for mentioning me! I feel verrry special!
