Random Fragments: Is There Any Other Kind?

Mommy's Idea

I want to be sure that you know the dance contest is ON! Official rules posted today: Just Dance Your Bloggy Off

I love my blogging friends. I told you all how Hubs makes fun of me for not being able to whistle and how he tells me that I’m the only person in the world who can’t. Well, 32 of the 89(!!!!) comments were admissions from other non-whistlers. And there were quite a few “weak whistlers.” I’m ignoring those of you who called me a loser for not being able to whistle and I’M TELLING HUBS THAT HE IS WRONG. I love when I can do that.

 When I make buffalo chicken pasta, my two youngest literally lick their plates clean. Should I try to teach them better table manners or be thrilled that I don’t have picky eaters?

Do you know that my Survivor Buff-on WON? So, it paid off to post the most horrible picture ever taken of me. That’s what I was going for, but I’m still thrilled to have won a prize for it. You can see all of them HERE. I won fabulous WINE-RELATED prizes.

****

I smell so yummy today. I won Philosophy’s Snow bathwash and lotion from a giveaway recently, but I can’t remember whose blog I won it from. I hate not being able to thank someone for it. Did I win it from you? Could you tell me? Because I’m really obsessive about this stuff. And I LOVE the lotion. Really, I can’t stop smelling myself.

****

Only ONE WEEK left until I leave for Bloggy Bootcamp in Baltimore. I can’t wait! Are you going to be there? I know a lot of you ladies will be dressing up, but I’ll be in jeans and have my son’s tote bag that he got from kindergarten registration yesterday. He hates it so I might as well use it. It says: I’m a Big Kid Now.

Trying to decide on a funny shirt.
I’ve always loved this one:

Come to the dark side, we have cookies.
Then again, that might scare people off.
Plus, I do not want to let everyone know that Sunday, who is threatening to wear a screaming banshee mask, and blogs at WYSIWYG, is bringing cookies for me.
I might have to share.
****
Love this one!
I’m a celebrity, really
From Flirty Girl Tees
It would be hilarious if anyone thought I was delusional enough to think I’m a celebrity.
But, I love to laugh at myself, so this might be perfect.
And, you’d be able to find me easily.

  2. I second that! I want that recipe!

    Plus, I totally know you were mentioning the cookies in case I forgot…which I haven't! LOL

    Actually, this morning I am baking my infamous cream cheese banana bread loaves. Aren't you jealous?

    Maybe I'll make one of those for Bloggy Boot Camp too. I love to bake.

  4. I wish I could go to Bloggy Boot Camp! You have to have extra fun for me! And I love being able to tell people they're wrong.

  5. I'm so jealous that you get to go to bloggy boot camp. I totally think you should wear the celebrity shirt.

    Also where is this recipe? I must have it.

  6. I love anything buffalo chicken! (Pizza, dip, um wings..) Would love your recipe for the pasta!

    I've told ya before but I am for sure wearing jeans. I love the celebrity shirt! You should wear it!

  7. Okay I NEED that Buffalo chicken pasta recipe. My son will be thrilled if I make that for him.

    As far as what to wear to boot camp….I have no idea. I was going to go out today shopping but we have a snow day so I am stuck at home.

  12. I am so going to Bloggy Boot Camp in Baltimore. I will see you there, and you better be wearing the celebrity shirt. Because I would if I were you. And if you see some girl shaking and staring at you from far away, and then stalking you a bit at the conference, it's me. I have a medical condition. I'm an idiot.

  15. Congrats on your buff-on winning! But, what's with there not being actual WINE in your prize….lol.

    Love the cookies shirt…and I'm with everyone else…post that recipe woman so I can add it to my Weekly Menu Monday post. Who doesn't love some plate licking at the dinner table?!?

  16. I love the random thoughts. I love that the kids lick the plate clean. I just love the blog today. Great job.

  19. Wish I had a way of expressing my random thoughts, I have so many till I finally get ready to type, then it goes blank.

    Recipe sounds DELISH!

  20. I say let your kids lick the plate, as long as its not out in public thats where manners really count, right ;D

  21. I'm going to jump on the bandwagon and ask for that recipe, too. That sounds good! And there's nothing wrong with licking their plates clean. At least they're eating!

    Love the celebrity shirt!

  22. I want the recipe too! We love buffalo chicken at our house and eat pasta way too often, so that meal is something our household needs!

  23. BE HAPPY THAT THEY ARE NOT PICKY!!! If my girls licked their plates, I would a) sing the Hallelujah Chorus and b) put the plates right back in the cabinet. (Just kidding on b, btw. Really.)

    And also. I just got my Wii Fit. I am really wanting Just Dance right now. Really. Wanting.

  24. Wohoo, only a week to go! I so wish I could be there. But noo, we have to go visit the inlaws. Sigh. At least it should give me some blogging material??

    Have fun, and I love the shirts! Have a great weekend!

  25. What is it you do at a Bloggy Bootcamp? Will you have to blog non-stop until someone or many drop?

    Congrats on your Buff-on.

    LMAO that your husband's world is so small.

  26. Yeah, I agree Shell, you've been holding back on that recipe, haven't you?

    I don't think you're a loser for not being able to whistle but since I can and have no idea of what it feels like not to….heheheheh!
    Sophie couldn't whistle forever but she kept at it and now she can pierce dog ears with her whistle:)

    I may have to check out that lotion if it smells that good!

    I like the tote bag you are going to carry lol!! And the celebrity T-shirt is awesome!!

    You are just too funny lol!!

  27. I'm goin' to Bloggy Boot Camp! And you can bet your bottom dollar that I will be using this as an excuse to go shopping for a new ensemble!!

    **found you via twitter from @housewifebliss!**

  28. Plate lickers rule!!! (said from a mom of very pciky eaters that I'd like to kick now and again!!)

  33. I personally think that Dark side shirt is hilarious. I want it for myself! Also, I agree with everyone else, we need the recipe!

  34. recipe recipe recipe to the umpteenth degree.. I would sooo carry that bag lol I have no shame..

  35. I love the cookie shirt. The other is great too.

    I lost a follower today. WTF? I can't figure out who it is either. Damn them. Maybe their from the "dark side". If so, I don't really care. LOL

  36. Thanks for stopping by! Your blog is so cute! I would rock that tote bag too and go with the first shirt, too funny! Have fun at the bloggy bootcamp! Can't wait to read about it!

  39. I saw your link to those T's and loved them! I checked them all out and sent my hubs a link to one i want! and buffalo chicken pasta? COunt me in!

  40. I am SOOOOOOO jealous! I want to go to bloggy boot camp, but it is just not happening with the hubs traveling right now. Maybe next year…

    I like the "celebrity" shirt. Go for it, girl!

  41. Ummmm your not a celeb? Why am I following this blog then 🙂 Just Kiddin'! Have a great weekend

  42. Thanks for visiting Blissful Chaos. I didn't use any stencils in the nursery, just a lot of taping for the stripes and the vinyl lettering for the saying! I appreciate your kinds words. I'm your newest follower. Happy Friday!

  43. SO jealous of bloggy bootcamp. I'm going to try to make the one in Austin, but it's not til October.

    Hey, I must have just skimmed your post … did you say something about a recipe? just kidding … sounds delish! share!

  44. On your son's new bag that you're going to use: hilarious. It almost begs to become its own theme for a blog, no?

  45. You killed me with the kindergarten tote bag! You go girl! And about the table manners…I would let my kid eat with his hands, with his mouth open and talking at the same time, and then lick the plate, if he would just EAT and stop COMPLAINING about everything I make 🙂

  46. I like the pink shirt. Sunday and I can bring a red carpet and throw rose petals on you as you are walking in celeb sytle! lol

  47. I just bought the Just Dance for the Wii. I haven't had a chance to try it yet this week because we all have been sick.

  48. I love both shirts….and the bag!.

    I bought just dance…did I tell you that? I hope it gets here!! I want in on the first one in the contest!

    I think I'm going to do this Friday Fragment thingy.

  49. Oh what a fun blog you have here! I'm visiting you from Daisygirl's blog. Now I'm your newest follower now.

  50. My new fave t-shirt:

    F%$k you,
    I have enough friends

    And I would totes wear something that lewd if Girlfriend didn't constantly ask me what stuff says. Dammit, kids. Quit harshing my freedom.

  51. The comments about boot camp are cracking me up… "Do you have to blog until someone drops?" I love it!

    Can't wait to meet you- please wear the dark side shirt. I heart cookies.

  52. Let's hear that buffulo chicken pasta recipe. Sounds like a winner!

    Have a great time on your trip! And have a great Friday night gloating with your husband.

  53. oh my gosh, you crack me up. I love the cookies tee, and the tote. In combination you would either be the coolest one there, or a scary sesame street reject. Either way, I'd want to meet you. 😉
    See you in baltimore!
    @LastMinuteMandy

  54. oooh, I forgot about buffalo chicken pasta. I made it a couple times and completely forgot about it. Thanks for the reminder… I lick my plate too! 🙂

    I want the 'Come to the dark side' t-shirt, that's too funny!! lol!

  56. Another "weak" whistler here….and would jump for joy if my kids ever cleaned their plates. My daughter is a pretty big eater, so long as she's eating off my plate and not here own. There's one habit we're trying to nip in the bud, along with letting either of them sit on our laps at the table. Also love the celebrity tee! 🙂

  57. Your recipe sounds fantastic! I say pat yourself on the back that you don't have picky eaters and share that pasta secret.

  59. You should totally wear the celebrity shirt. I wish I were going to Baltimore for boot camp. I'd love to hang out and bash the motherbitches with ya.

    You should share that recipe. My kids are picky too.

  60. Mmmm! The Buffalo Chicken Pasta sounds really good… You need to post that recipe girlie!

    I love all things Philosophy! Pure Grace is one of my favorites…

  68. Buffalo chicken pasta sounds amazing…post recipe please!?!

    I like the I'm a celebrity, really shirt! Too fun!

  71. I like the celebrity tee a lot 🙂

    Thanks for playing this week 🙂

  73. I LOVE philosophy products. Mmmm!!

    And a wine related prize?! LUCKY girl!

    I am seriously bummed about not going to Bloggy Boot Camp. I'm going to try to go to the Houston one since it's closer. I hope you have fun and I cannot wait to see your million pictures.
