They had me outnumbered….
But I triumphed.

The Awards I’ve Been Stockpiling
I know what some of you are thinking. It’s something along the lines of this:
WTF, Thoughtsy. I gave you an award months ago, and you haven’t posted it. Oh, Homework, Thoughtsy, I hate you. You stink. I wish I could wash you away in the sink….
Here’s where I post all of the awards at the same time and break all the rules about telling you 7 things about myself.
For the last award, I told you what kind of cheese I liked.
Seriously.
If you really want to know 7 things about me, ask me a question in the comments. Or go read 7 posts. Do a little leg work. I can’t spoonfeed and spoil you for the rest of your life.
Despite my half-ass participation, I do want to thank everyone who passed along an award to me. I love you! Your Pop-Tarts are in the mail.
- Doesn’t Speak Klingon
- Silva Gang
- Touch of Embellishment
- The Incredible Bitch Blog
- Marina Sleeps
- Dockfam
- Connective Tissue Disorders
And I’m passing the awards along to anyone who’s having a bad day. May one of these awards cheer you up!
Housekeeping. You Want Clean Towels?
Things have been a bit crazy the past couple weeks, and in the chaos, I neglected to mention that I had a visitor: The Oma.
I took him to the Baltimore Aquarium, to see some fireworks, and to visit with the Skylanders. And after a visit with Princess Atta, he wrote a Movies Teach Us post on A Bug’s Life.
Next order of business…I’m moving. Instead of http://thoughtsappear.wordpress.com, the new blog address with be http://thoughtsappear.com.
That’ll happen soon. Like this weekend. Maybe later today. Hopefully, nothing will change. Hopefully, you won’t have to resubscribe. But if you don’t receive a post from the blog Monday morning, you may need to send out a search party.
Have a great weekend!
Go Commando…It’s Creative
Roll call! Is everyone present and accounted for? Did anyone blow up while playing with fireworks? Kiefer nearly took out a car and a neighbor’s house before he decided to leave the fireworks to the professionals.
Not Kiefer’s fireworks….
Anyways…Somersaulting Through Life bestowed upon me the Creative Chaos Award. Thank you!
Now I need to…
- Thank the person who gave you the award. Done!
- Take your best shot at 3 tasks listed below.
- Nominate some other bloggers and recent followers.
What are 3 weird things you do?
- Pick the white seeds out of a watermelon. I heard they make you pregnant with watermelon babies.
- As soon as a DVD movie starts, I get up for drinks or snacks. Why I don’t get them during the previews baffles me.
- I usually only hiccup twice.
Why do you look at the “glass half full” scenario and ask, “What? No coffee?”
I don’t drink coffee. So I’ve never said that. But if a glass is half full of something yummy, like a milkshake, I may ask, “Who the hell drank half of my milkshake?”
You find yourself in a desolate place when the car breaks down. You have no phone service, no Wal-Mart, and only a candy bar for food. It’s 150 miles to the closest town. What color are your underpants and why?
What makes you think I wear underpants?
I’m passing the award along to a couple recent followers as well as some bloggers who I think will have interesting answers to these questions, not just the underpants one. Annnnnd…I probably just scared off my recent followers….
Favorite Comment From Last Post: “The key to get crazy people to stop talking is to be even crazier than they are. So she says she threatened her boyfriend with a butcher knife? You say that you killed the last guy who cheated on you with a cheese grater. Then enjoy your relaxing massage in stunned silence.”—KaysFairyTale
Isn’t She Lovely?
Yes, I’m lovely. And I’m wonderful, too. At least Lindsey over at Happy or Hungry thinks so.
She passed me a blog award. Thanks, Lindsey!
Here are the rules:
- Link back to the blogger who nominated you.
- Paste the award image on your blog.
- Share some facts about yourself.
- Nominate some other blogs.
- Post a comment on these blogs letting them know you nominated them.
Thoughtsy Fun Fact #1: Kiefer and I had our first date at a beer fest at this stadium. He won me over when he agreed to go in the moonbounce with me.
Thoughtsy Fun Fact #2: I don’t like beer.
Thoughtsy Fun Fact #3: I get awful motion sickness. Sometimes just swinging on a wobbly swingset will upset my stomach. Moonbounces, however, are fine.
And here are the nominations:
- Tori Nelson at The Ramblings
- Heather at Sugar Dish Me
- Ellie Ann
- Angela at Tomorrow Is Another Day
I’ve been hoarding a lot of awards lately, but I’m working on passing them along. So if you gave me one, stayed tuned.
