Cheeeeeeeese!

By thoughtsappear

Soooo…over the last ::cough…4 or so months…cough:: Trinity River, Ring Finger Tanline, Choc Chip Uru, and West End Singleton gave me the Versatile Blogger Award. Thank you, ladies!

And because I’m a hoarder, I’m just now posting.

Here are the rules.

  1. Thank the award giver.
  2. Share 7 things about yourself.
  3. Pass the award along to some of your favorite bloggers.

Let’s start with the 7 things about myself. I write a lot about the desserts I eat, but now I’d like to fill you on another food I enjoy.

Cheese.

Behold my favorite cheeses. I have a versatile cheese palate.

  1. Cheez Whiz (Yeah, I said it!)
  2. Extra Sharp Cheddar
  3. Feta
  4. Gorgonzola
  5. Blue Cheese (only the cheese, not the dressing)
  6. Mozzarella
  7. Swiss
  8. Nacho (not your) Cheese
  9. Cream Cheese

Since I’m super late posting, I gave you some extras. And because I couldn’t choose between them.

Now for the nominees…

Raise Your Pop-Tart to EduClaytion

By thoughtsappear

Today is a sad, sad day. You’ve probably heard about the end of EduClaytion.

Clay and I had some good times.

“Clay” joined me for breakfast the other day to break the End-of-Educlaytion news to me. I was so distraught not even Pop-Tarts could cheer me up.

Here’s the video. (Don’t judge my acting skills. I was a techie!)

Clay and Stitch are related. See the resemblance?

Farewell, Educlaytion. You will be missed.

I Spy With My Little Eye

By thoughtsappear

…a Thundercats car! Thundercats, hoooooooooo! I sent the picture to Misty if you want to see it. There’s also a zombie hearse and a SheGoat car. Seriously.

You may or may not have noticed new stuff on the blog this week.

Don’t feel bad if you didn’t notice. I’m the least observant person ever.

This happens all the time:

Thoughtsy: Oh my gosh…how long has that massive building been there?

Answer: Like 3 years.

However, this also happens:

Thoughtsy: Oh my gosh, a new ice cream shop! How long has that been there?

Answer: They just started construction this morning.

What can I say? I have selective vision. And priorities.

So…back to the changes.

First, I’m on Twitter now. You can follow me by clicking the button near the top of the right column.

Second, you leave the best comments, and I want to give you props.

I’ll post a favorite comment from the previous day’s post at the bottom of the next post…when I remember. I went back and added some to the posts this week. Thanks, Oh Noa, for the idea!

Favorite Comment from Previous Post: “Love, love, love this movie. Especially that one part and the other part and pretty much all the parts.”—Clay Baboons

This Is Why I Blog

By thoughtsappear

The other day I read a new blog. It was funny, so I left a comment. When I returned the next day, I saw this.

Here my initial thoughts when I read that post.

  • Oooo…it says “stalkers” in the title. Stalkers are fun. They’re like ninjas.
  • Oooo…she met a celebrity. I hope it was someone hot.
  • Oooo…it was Thoughtsy of Thoughts Appear. I hear she’s hot.
  • Waaaait…what? That’s me!

Miss Four Eyes dedicated a post to mwah. Although she’s only recently started her own blog, she’s been reading my blog for awhile.

Here’s part of her post that may or may not have brought tears to my eyes. I’m breaking it up into bullets, so I can add in my commentary.

  • You taught me exactly what the appropriate chocolate to fruit ratio is. Thank goodness somebody got this! I’m still beating Ddot over the head with this one.
  • You showed me that even though you might meet really sucky guys there are always good ones waiting for you somewhere. I truly believe the good guys outnumber the bad ones.
  • You taught me not to settle for something if I’m not okay with it.
  • I should go for what I want in life. Especially if what you want is dessert.
  • You’ve shown me that learning is a constant process, and that it never really stops. You taught me that the most obvious things in life might be the funniest ones. I laugh at everything. Especially myself.  Except when I trip and fall. That’s not funny.

Miss Four Eyes said, “You are the reason I started blogging.”

Well, Miss Four Eyes, I’m looking forward to learning about you through your blog. And today I’m blog crushing on you. Because you are the reason I started blogging.

  • I blog because I want to bring a little laughter to someone who’s having a bad day.
  • I blog because when I’m having a bad day I want someone to tell me tomorrow will be better.
  • I blog because somewhere someone is going through the same thing as me. Readers, you’re not alone.
  • I blog to give my thoughts a voice.
  • I blog because that’s the only way I can justify eating as much dessert as I do.

Why do you blog?

Who Wants a Chocolate Zombie Bunny?

By thoughtsappear

Who’s going to BlogHer 2012 in August?

I see Misty jumping up and down with her hand raised. Anyone else? Anyone? Bueller?

You should go. It would be nice to meet you. But promise me you won’t be disappointed when you see that I’m not always hanging upside down from a beanbag in real life, ok?

Even if you’re not going to BlogHer, do you think you could vote for one of my posts?

I couldn’t decide between How To Ride a Mechanical Bull and Candyman, Candyman, Candyman….

If you like them, please vote here:

Quid pro quo.

In return, I’m giving away this zombie chocolate bunny. All you have to do is vote for me on BlogHer (or just say that you did–I’ll still give you the bunny) and then leave me a comment.

Make sure you leave your comment here  or on this post on Facebook before Friday at noon when I’ll randomly pick a winner.
