Nervous Nelly

Okay. Blogger is being freaky today. Slow. Disappearing posts. Stuff missing. So if I try this one more time and my words all disappear into the black hole of cyberspace, I'm warning you now. I may just say a naughty word and call it a day. Of course, then you'd never know, would you?

Today is day three of a three day spree of no outside obligations. LOVE how much I can get done and how much fun stuff I can fit in when I don't have to be anywhere. I've had both the urge to create and the time to do so. I've been able to stay caught up on chores and even take the time to bake for my family. The dog and I have taken long walks, and my bed is made. I'm feelin' good, can ya tell?

I went to Bath and Body works yesterday to stock up on hand soap while they were on sale and use a coupon... I don't know what it is about that store. I cannot get out of there without spending WAY too much money. Words like 'kitchen lemon' and 'sun-ripened raspberry' call my name and I add things to my basket like I'm made of money. I did get a $14.50 tube of "gradual tanning lotion" that actually smells good for free... that's a good thing. The girly with the apron told me she'd been using it for a few weeks and her skin was the most gloriously unstreaked shade of tan I've seen in a long time... hope it works. I'm all for color, but very anti-sun. Wrinkles, you know. Oh - and there's that cancer thing too.

I'm going to be stingy with my time this morning and sign off. Lots to do.

Enjoy Spring today, wherever you are... isn't it glorious?

    I love BBW too. My new favorite is the Romance line. Just *love* that lotion. Anything "sun-ripened" is awesome too. :)

    I gave up trying to look tan a *long* time ago. Irish skin, just won't have it and that whole "cancer thing" too. *LOL*

    Spring is very hot & humid here, but I am still loving all the color back again!

It came out of the faucet that way.

It's been months since I've had a "Getting to Know You Wednesday." Life's been a little crazy. So today, when life is a little bit calm and I've got the least chaotic week I've had for ages, I thought I'd jump back in. So today, if you leave me a comment telling me your most favorite-ist movie line ever, I'll enter you in a drawing for your very own copy of Josh Groban's new Christmas CD - Noel . It's a good one, folks. Classic holiday music from such a wonderful vocalist... you'll like it, I promise. I just want one movie line. Not your three favorite... not a paragraph. Just one line. The one you find yourself repeating. The one that makes you laugh every time. Your very favorite movie line of all time. And if you're the first person to name the movie my title is from, you'll get an extra entry in the drawing. Now, let's hear it.

30,000? For real?

So, if you scroll down to the bottom of this here blog, you'll see that I'm probably just a day or two from reaching 30,000 hits. That's just freaky. And in just under 2 years. (I didn't add the counter until after I'd been blogging for several months...) So in honor of almost reaching that milestone, this weeks 'getting to know you Wednesday' question is this: What would you do if you won $30,000? I like this question, because it's not an overwhelming number, and therefore not brain-freeze inducing. It's big enough to be able to accomplish some nice little projects around the house, but not so large that you have to worry about your third cousins from the Ozarks showing up on your doorstep looking for cash so they can put veneers on their teeth. Answer my question this week and you'll be entered in a drawing for 30 special little trinkets in a lovely little goody box. (And when I say trinkets, I mean trinkets. We're talking 30 little lovelie

Are you ready for this?

How did it get to be Wednesday? Seriously. There aren't enough hours in the day - even when you're up at 2:00 am. And no - I didn't get up at 2:00 this morning. I slept all the way until 5:00! Anywho - I decided I needed something new to blog. Something to shake you all out of your 'thoughts from the deep recesses' stupor. Something to get your blood pumping and your fingers tingling. Something to inspire long and meaningful comments. From you. My beloved readers. It's a new weekly Thoughts From the Deep Recesses feature. It's "Getting to Know you Wednesday" Now this could either be lots of fun, or it could just totally flop, and I could go to bed crying because my blog readers are a bunch of takers who only come here to read and never interact. Like a piece of fresh fruit, you squeeze the juice out of my hard-written and well thought out posts and then you toss them aside, wandering on to the next blog with a simple click of your mouse.
