Two Tasks ...

First, I have had another blog award bestowed upon me. I once felt somewhat covet-y ...covet-ous? ... covet-some? ...envious! about these awards. Having said that, I am not so sure  everyone shares that opinion. I notice some of the cooler kids don't display theirs ... what's up with that???

None the less, I will take it (see incurable attention whore) and display it proudly on my page.


Thank you, Eyvi...

7 things about me ... hmmm. I have played this game once before. Can I think of 7 more things of any interest to tell you? Here goes:

1) I can not sleep if there is a drawer or closet door open anywhere in my house (of which I am aware) ... I had recurring nightmares as a child of various ghoulies and all around malevolent entities escaping them.

2) The TP roll MUST roll UNDER! No exceptions. (I wonder why nobody refills the TP at my house???)

3) I do not like tomatoes. I have tried ... sincerely tried to eat tomatoes my entire life ... too much like an eyeball. I like everything made from them ... just has to be run through a blender or food processor first (even salsa - I know ... I am weird)

4) I believe in ghosts. I even had a first hand experience with one.

5) I wanted to be a Marine Biologist when I grew up. (Did I already divulge that?)

6) I have only ever had three actual relationships. I am married to my third ... lived with my second for 5 years and lost my virginity (at 17, I might add) to the first.

7) I used to be involved heavily in competitive horseback riding. Yeppers, placed 1st, 2nd (twice), 3rd (4 times) and 5th a bunch of times. I haven't 'set' a horse in close to 15 years. :(

There you have it - 7 more things you didn't (need to) know about Dani.

I do not remember who all has this award - or who was included on Eyvi's list of nominees ... I am going to send a shout out over to (and bestow my award upon) Amethyst Anne at The Lunch Hour for three reasons, 1) for not killing our friend "X", 2) for inspiring his return to blogging all regular like, and 3) for being such a kick ass writer!

Honestly, I don't follow blogs I don't think are all kinds of awesome ... so if I forgot anyone, and I follow you ... consider yourself "bestowed upon".... 'course that means you must also follow me or you would not know I was bestowing said award - and therefore will not be getting any "awesome" from me ... bastards!

My next order of "bidness" is this video that a dear friend of mine emailed me today. It made me happy in my pants and I thought I would share it with my bloggy buds. I do not know the story behind it, it just made me smile. ***though I will tell you - anyone approaches me in "hug formation" - be prepared to get stuck. I am seriously protective of my "personal space".

Watch Video

Still, it made me happy and I hope it has the same effect on you.

To my 'Americum' friends, I wish you a very happy Thanksgiving - enjoy your turkey ... bitches. To everybody else in the world who shall remain turkey-less (meaning less of turkey) ... well, like me ... it sucks to be you. Wah.

Stay tuned later this evening for another round of "Thank You Very Much Thursday"

Toodles.

The TP goes over...not gonna argue about it, that's just the way it is and always will be!

And I found* the most gorgeous French word today...'libellule'. Care to guess what it means? Huh?
DRAGONFLY

*I'm working really hard on my French so maybe I can impress some officious Swiss asshole and get home sooner.

oooh - pretty. I like it!

Dragonflies are so cool. I have always been a big fan.

I am just purposely ignoring your other comment. :)

Good luck with the French... and the Swiss assholes.

I have a much more neutral take on the TP..I really don't much care which way it gets on the roll, or hell who am I kidding, if it even makes it on the roll, just so long as there is some.

And Dani, thanks for the award, I will post it soon.
btw..I LOVE your Thank you very much Thursdays.. you had me snorting out loud!

1. You are correct, TP goes under.
2. We share the exact same feelings on tomatoes.
3. I also wanted to be a MArine Biologist. Yes, I've lived in Saskatchewan my entire life.
4. I have also only had three relationships.

Are you a sessier version of me?

Under? Are you all mad? That just makes it further from you! And easier for the kitten to play with.

Tomatoes are the work of the devil. True fact.

I LOVE the free hugs guy.

And I confess, if I can reach the TP, if it's not wet and there's enough left, I care not.

Now, that gob of my hair that gets in the shower drain? THERE's something to get worked up about. (Retch)

I'm going to hav to go withthe consensus and say if there is toilet paper then I don't care how it's on there. But it has to be on the roll. DO NOT put it on the counter or the tank. That will get you injured.

You will never be able to sleep at my house. None of the can shut anything. Born in a barn, the lot of 'em.

I know I have been a slacker on the fun MeMe's lately. I thought perhaps I might try to rectify this little problem and join in today with Chiefy and her highly fun theme. Without further ado: On Monday night, my hubs came home from work at his usual 10:30(ish) pm. I had recently awoken in my daughter's bed and come downstairs to watch one of my most fav shows (The Big Bang Theory ... don't judge me - it is funny!) ... I had fallen into a sound stupor while trying to get my brats beautiful darlings to go to sleep and I was barely coherent. My hubs had come in and then disappeared for a little while ... I thought it odd, but didn't dwell as my show was starting. When he finally came into the living room  with his plate of dinner, (yes, I save him a plate from our dinner to eat when he gets home) he asked me how I was feeling. I found that odd. I said: "Why?" in a highly suspicious tone. He didn't say anything else until the next commercial break. Hub

This is dedicated to the one(s) I love .... (gotta sing it)

Yesterday was my 37th birthday. I was sick for the entire day and mighty worried I was in for a pretty miserable few days. I went to work and did my thing (I know I should have stayed home, but that is not the sort of place I work in) and the gals at my office threw a little lunch time party for me, complete with chinese food and cake ... and card and song and even a gift certificate for a hair-do at a local salon (okay - so you know your "do" is a "don't" when you get a certificate like this from your co-workers... unclench, Eyvi - I know I've been bitching about my hair for months ... I'm just funnin'). To them, I say TYVM ... for making me gain 5 more pounds... no, I'm kiddin' again - I am so touched. Thanks guys - you ROCK! I don't plan to spend a whole bunch of time yaking about the 'day' itself. It's just that birthdays have a tendancy to cause somewhat of a retrospective thought path ... especially when one is campe

Confessions...

Man ... I am late to the party today. Okay ... this month? It's been a while. I have been in a dark and scary place ... and my funny was AWOL. Nuf sed about that. So ... I do like this theme and even though I'm scrapin' in under the wire ... I'm still here... we'll call it fashionably late - K? My confessions this week are shocking. I want any of you that suffer from over active bladder, heart conditions or excessive flatulence to think seriously about reading what follows. I shot JR... and Mr Burns. I also stole "The Beef" I let the dawgs out. I pushed the old lady down that "couldn't get up" ... she didn't fall. Oh ... and that smell? It was me ... hee hee hee ... oops! I ate the last piece of pie/cake/pizza/candy/gum - it was all me. I took the last Tylenol... and the last ice cube ... and I didn't fill it back up. I put the milk back in the fridge - empty... I'm a rebel that way. Hope ya'll have a great w
