Lovely Texan Mama, over at Who Put Me in Charge of These People?, Tagged all the winners of the SiTS contest (brilliant way to choose, by the way – go check out her blog, she has a little good news to spread around). So it’s time for me to dump a little more dirt…
1. I love Sponge Bob Square Pants. Hear me out. I know it might contain some “no-no” words, but that only spurs the conversation with the Oldest on how “stupid” can really hurt. If you look deeper, you’ll see a sponge who’s a very hard worker, an extremely loyal friend, and someone who always looks for the good in everyone and everything. He teaches my son that some days he might run into a Squidward or two, but to give them a second chance – they may just be having a bad day or really need a hug. Sponge Bob makes me want to shout “I’m ready!” when I jump out of bed in the morning. What’s so wrong with that?
2. I always have to look up these words – why I cannot commit their spelling to memory is beyond me: 1) scary (should be scarey to me – scary looks like you are full of scars, which could be scary, I guess?) 2) definitely (should be definately) 3) exercise (should be excersise) 4) jewelry (jewerly – I know, that’s not even how it sounds – I’m not saying it makes SENSE?)
3. You guys know I’m not one to be controversial, but I think parents who don’t allow their kids to Trick or Treat really need to stop taking the holiday so seriously. It’s one night out of the year that you can be ANYTHING you want to be! You don’t dig the whole witches and ghosts thing? I’m totally down with that. But nothing is wrong with a little Spiderman or Princess action and some free candy. Yes, wack-a-do Aunt Nancy, I’m talking to you.
4. Warning – blatant brag: for the first time in my entire adult life, my thighs don’t touch when I walk. It’s actually quite an awkward feeling, but one I relish and freely acknowledge will more than likely be fleeting. I’ve worked very hard to lower the friction my body gives off. Now if my two-c-section abs of elastic would just follow suit.
5. I STILL don’t know who I am going to vote for. No, that’s not an open invitation to be inundated with “reasons why” for your candidate. Leave me alone in my thought process, pretty please.
6. I have a serious crush on the men of Discovery – Mike Rowe and Bear Grylls. Some of you might know this from previous conversations, but I’m feeling brave enough to shout it out to all. Dear Hubby knows, and thinks it’s quite cute.
7. I love the book “Fahrenheit 451.” As a matter of fact, I might just reread it again tonight. I’ve got to squeeze it in before my CrackLiture Basket arrives from the SiTS Ladies!
OK, now it’s my turn to pass it along, but I’m going to take the liberty to send all 7 requests to my friend Julie Blair at Chocolate-Covered Pajamas. She’s just getting started, and I would like to move her along in the addiction process as fast as possible. I guess that makes me an enabler, but she’s forgiving. Please go check her out and leave a little comment love.
Don’t worry Julie, you only have to deliver with 7 Fun Facts, not 49.
And a little PSA on my newest bit of bling to the left for Get the Bean – GTB is the brain child of Meaghan at I Kicked Cancer’s Ass. As this coffee site takes flight, she’ll be giving back by donating to various cancer charities. Go grab a large cup of joe (coffee, not the plumber), and go read her story. When you’ve reached the bottom of your bean bag, go to GTB to supply your fix. It’s all good.
