Peep of the Week AND “Daily Dose” Awards

March 16, 2008 By 13 Comments

Yup. I’m still doing Peep of the Week. I had company last week and I just took down my button because it kinda sucked.I’ll try to get something else as far as blog bling goes, but even if I don’t I can still give a hearty, “I love you and want to make out with your blog because you made me laugh!”shout out because it is the thought that counts, right?

Right.

This week’s “Peep” goes to DOUG for his comment on my post “Hi Low’s” regarding dinner time rituals.

My dinnertime ritual? Sitting in front of the computer in my underwear, trying to not spill rice onto my chest. I then pass out and take a two hour nap, waking up in a pile of my own drool.

You asked.

However, I don’t think you’ll be using my idea to shake up the dinner ritual. But wouldn’t it be interesting if you tried it for a night?

No?

Oh well.

There’s nothing else I can offer.

Sorry.

Dougie cracks me the freak UP. He understands the rational of having an acceptable breakfast consist of Diet Coke and Reece’s Peanut Butter Cups.

It’s also a total complement when a fabulous gay man finds you hot. It just IS.

(Not that THAT had ANYTHING to do with my decision. Or anything. Hee.)

If he lived by me I am sure that he would be at my house hanging out a lot. Seriously, I want to put him in my purse and take him home with me. If he refused, I would probably be forced to kidnap him, store him in an old well and say things like “It puts the lotion on its skin or else it gets the hose again.”

Hopefully, that wouldn’t interfere TOO much with us being BFF’S.

Right???

Would you like to give some of your readers some recognition and play along? If you do, feel free to post to your blog and click on the graphic below to link it here:

AND????

Everyone loves some bloggy love and I got a “Dose” of it this week!

Angella awarded me a “Daily Dose” award and I am supposed to pay it forward to two blogs I rush to daily.

When you have a Google reader as packed as I do with awesomeness, it’s hard to narrow it down to two, but here it goes:

First up is Redneck Mommy. Oh, how I love this woman. She slays me. I know she won a “Bloggy” award, but really, that pales in comparison to this honor. Right, Tanis? RIGHT??!

And second, Casey, from “Moosh in Indy”. One of the most interesting and awesome bloggity dates on the planet. Really, I am mainly awarding her in the hope of GETTING TO EAT ONE OF HER AWESOME CAKES!

It’s almost a life goal at this point.

I aim high, I know.

Sigh.

Dear Internet,

Hey! How have you been? What has been going on this Memorial LABOR Day**** weekend? Really? Oh, that is just super! Me? Oh, well…We were supposed to go to Jonathan’s family this weekend for a family music festival. (I know. Insert images of The Von Trapp Family Singers in Liederhausen, here.) We are not there. Why? Probably because my children have taken turns vomiting all over themselves, their beds, me, and just about every other surface in my house EXCEPT THE TOILET.

Between that, yet more family issues that I can’t talk about, and wanting to tear my hair out with the IRS and some situations at my kid’s school, I don’t really feel like writing about my life in detail today. Worry not. I found a great solution.

I’m going to through out some linkylove to the universe. There have been so many things that I have loved in the blogosphere that it is high time I start sharing some of them. Even though the lovely, Oh, the Joys almost sacrificed her fingers for her linky love devotion to you this weekend, I still thought I’d through my 2-cents in.

I thought that due to Labor Day weekend that there would only be really slim pickings, but I was pleasantly surprised! Here are some highlights this week:

  • Have y’all met Heather of Oh My Stinkin’ Heck? If not, you should. She is one of the designers responsible for this nifty page template that I use. She’s very real, friendly and funny. I think she’s gorgeous. Even while growing her hair out and not wearing makeup. (Oh, that I could look that cute in such a state.)
  • Schnozzfest makes a great visual illustration about how much difference laboriously applied, high-end product can do for a girl in this post. I’ve taken a shine to The Schnozz. She is a real, live, Roller Derby chick. WOW. She’s very nice, even though I may never peep at her again due to a couple of emails that may or may not have made me come off as totally insane.
  • Something that made me laugh this week: Amber (Crazy Blogging Canuck). I don’t think that you necessarily have to be a Mormon to appreciate the horrors of anchoring the news for a Chrsitian College TV station and be caught shaking your bosoms because you don’t realize you’re “Live”. Heh.
  • I CANNOT WAIT FOR THE RED SWAP. The swaparooni is the brain child of OMSH (Oh my stinkin’ heck. You remember? From above? Gorgeous? Funny? Even without makeup? Yah. Her.) I got my partner today and have to figure out my likes and dislikes and mail her. Y’all should consider joining in next month. Maybe by then I will figure out how to add the damn badge to my frickin sidebar. :)
  • Serving the Queens: Oh, this woman’s story. I feel it so deeply. I can’t even express how much. It’s one of those things that grab hold of your heart and don’t let go.
  • Jose is back to blogging and he linked to this commercial. I’ve never seen it, but it made me GRIN. Even if you aren’t someone who dreamed of being an engineer or scientist as a kid you can totally relate to the theme and it will just make you happy and possibly a wee big nostalgic for kidhood.

This was fun. So fun that I’ll do it more often. After all, isn’t sharing things I like with everyone part of why I blog in the first place? (And, ya know…It’s always nice to see Technorati authority go up. ).

Mainly, Internet, I just want to thank you for being there for me this weekend. You are way better than TV. And vomit. Just to make that clear.

Sincerely,

“Ms. Tunes”

***(I wish I could blame the above error on something terribly mind-altering like lots and lots of drinking/whoring/and/or narcotics consumption. Alas, I think that sleepless nights and children perpetually vomiting on my person has made me befuddled. That, and Darth Vadar from the planet Vulcan melted my brain because I didn’t take Lorraine to the “Enchantment Under the Sea” dance.)
