Well, pluck my chin hairs and call me Thanksgiving dinner! (don’t think too hard about that one. I don’t even know what the hell that means)
I gots me an award! The stylish and sweet Colleen from Mommy Panda bestowed this award on me last week while I was in a fairy frenzy, so today I’m paying it forward. The rules of the award are as follows:
- 1. Thank and link back to the person who gave you the award.
- 2. Share seven things about yourself on the post. (below)
- 3. Pass the award to fifteen bloggers that you think deserve it. (below)
- 4. Lastly, contact all of the bloggers that you’ve picked for the award.
If you’re feeling at all drowsy, you may want to skip the seven things below, lest you should fall fast asleep here and now, leaving unsightly keyboard marks on your forehead. What would the checkout lady at the Tergit think when you go there later?
1. I have a streak of white hair on the back of my head that used to be jet black.
2. Stranger still, I used to babysit a little girl with blonde, curly hair who also had a couple black streaks in her hair.
3. I once caught my dog’s barf in my bare hands to avoid having to clean the carpet. Don’t judge. She barfed a lot. You might have done the same thing.
4. Wow. Still here? I thought the barf thing would clear the room. Okay. Scrapbooking supplies are like the crack. I can’t stop buying them. I also need to start creating more with what I already own.
5. I had skin cancer when I was 22. Wear your sunscreen and check those moles for changes.
6. I’m right handed, but I can only brush my teeth and talk on the phone left handed.
7. I’m a rule breaker.
So here’s the thing. There are fish upstairs tired of swimming in their own stuff, a dog who needs to walk saunter and a momma who really should get off her butt and go take a shower already. What does that mean as far as nominations go? I’mma only do a handful here instead of the required 15 (see #7):
Jennifer at Take2Mommy because she’s full of the awesome
Kim at The Sky is Falling because she never fails to make me laugh
Cake Betch at The Hot Mess Chronicles because her drawings made me to giggle. A lot.
Mama Kat at Mama’s Losin’ It! because anyone who makes a split screen video of herself as two different Barbies is my idol.
In other exciting news, I’m an official contributor at the brand-spanking new site Motherhood Uncovered. Whee! I did, however, get my bio in late (shocking, I know), so there is no evidence whatsoever of my presence on the site. Boo. Go check out all the talented ladies over there!
From Cake Betch:
Awwww thanks! It’s been a minute since I’ve gotten a blog award, probably because I’m a terrible blogger now and everyone hates me.
It will be added to Ye Great Wall of Schwag!
Is it weird that I keep a jar of marinated artichoke hearts on my desk that I randomly eat from?
You know what…. this is probably not the best forum for this. Never mind….
Anyway, thanks for the award!!
<3 Cake Betch
From Wombat Central:
Yay for the Schwag! (I’m not gonna ask about the artichokes)
From Mama Kat:
I am in excellent company!! Thank you for appreciating my ability to make a complete fool of myself online.

I need to get a tutorial on that split screen magic sometime….
From Missy | Literal Mom:
Catching dog barf = sooooo gross! I am not worthy!

From Wombat Central:
Oh, but cleaning it out of the carpeting is so much harder!
From Jen {at} take2mommy:
Thank you daahling! How nice of you to bestow this award upon me!
I’m feeling like there really should be a LBE award (lamest blogger ever) and that is the award I should win.
But I’ll take Versatile
I have a freaky weird hair thing too. My hair curls in little ringlets, but only right above my ears. Straight everywhere else. It’s beyond annoying.

From Wombat Central:
Oh, stop it! Versatile it is!
From Stephanie M Andrews:
I haven’t (yet) caught airborne barf, but I have thrown my fair share of dead (mostly headless) mice over the fence to the animal graveyard, courtesy of my fur baby.
Congrats on the award! You totally deserve it girl!

Aw, thanks, lady! You win bonus points for heaving rodent carcasses. In fact, I may have heaved just a little bit after reading that.
From The Zany Housewife:
Im…*gag*…having a hard time getting over the barf catching. Oy vey.
For whatever reason that reminded me of my toddler sneezing this morning while we were downtown in a cafe (next to the state Capitol full of politicians running in and out)…big green bogie bubbles coming from her nostrils. Like gack (you know, that weird neon goo pre-pubescent boys boy in the drug store) run amok.
Add her screaming, “NO mommy! My nose!! Yuuuuuuuuuucky! OOOOOHHH DEAR!!” at the top of her lungs and me, franticly looking for a napkin, used my hand instead and did a quick don’t-mind-my-screaming-snot-nosed-child face as all the suits looked on in horror.
Not my finest moment.
p.s. can’t wait to check out the blogs you listed…
From Wombat Central:
Thanks for stopping by, sweet lady! Or should I saw “sweets ” lady since you’re the cupcake queen?
I had a neighbor once who used to use her sleeve on her kids’ noses!
From If By Yes:
Motherhood Uncovered looks great! Congratulations!

From Kim:
Hey! Thanks! I feel so priveleged! I need to expand my blog-reading horizons, so I appreciate the recommendations!
That is strange about the right handed-left only phone and toothbrush thing. I use my right hand for both, I just realized. But I can only carry my purse on my left shoulder and talk on the phone on my left ear. Otherwise I feel all sorts of wrong.
Oh crap, that could’ve been one of my 7 things. Whelp, I’ll just have to think of more.
