Would You Like To Buy My Monkeys?

My bloggy pals Pam at Bubbles Writes and Kristian at Lessons In Motherhood have been dying to know “six non-important things/habits/quirks” about me. And since writing about me is something I quite enjoy, you’re going to get six things, for each of them.
There were some rules that are supposed to go along with this, but rules schmules. I’m a rebel, ’cause I never ever do what I should. And just because I don’t do what everybody else does, that’s no reason why you can’t give me all your love, so saith The Crystals.
Alright, let’s rock this.
1. Julia picked a booger and wiped it in my hair today. She had seen someone do it on America’s Funniest Home Videos. I did not think it was funny. I’d like to know if you’d be laughing with boogers in your hair, Tom Bergeron! I owe you a wet willy, Sir.
2. I lost a Bloglines subscriber this week which led to a solid afternoon of moping around and singing Air Supply’s “All Out Of Love.” Adieu, fair subscriber. I shall miss you.
3. I’ve never been able to get Feedburner to work for me, so I have no clue how many total subscribers I actually have. It is probably best that I don’t know. I’d become as obsessed with that number as I am with my site statistics. Or my comments.
4. Speaking of site statistics, mine are telling me that many of you are clicking to read the incredible This Is Motherhood column. You know, the one where each month a different mother opens up and lets you crawl inside and see life through her eyes for less than 1,000 words? Yeah, you know.
Well, I just have to pass this Shameless Lions Writing Circle Award that I received from JerseyGirl89 at Dirty Little Secret and Jen at A2EatWrite on to the first two guest columnists - Kerith Collins and Karly Campbell. The two of them have lived up to every expectation I had for that column.
And now I’m supposed to list three writing tips, which I will give to the future This Is Motherhood columnists:
- Write what you know.
- Write from your heart.
- Write with the belief that you have something unique and powerful to say that someone out there is aching to hear.
5. It is my firm belief that the best thing you can give a pregnant woman is a pedicure. Husbands, take note.
6. I love Cadbury Creme Eggs.
7. Dave just asked me, “So honey, have you been keeping up with the political debates?” I replied, “No.” Then he asked, “Why not?” And I said, “I’ve had my head up my blog for three days.” And he laughed a lot for a long time. I’m not sure if it’s because it was funny or because he’s only spent 8 of the past 72 hours sleeping.
8. My friend SusieJ gave me the Excellent Blog Award, which I’d like to pass along to my fellow pregnant bloggers, Sam at Temporarily Me and Mommy the Maid at Ramblings from the Not So Typical Stay At Home Mom.
9. I often have dreams that I host a big blogging event at my house during which The Polyphoic Spree performs an outdoor concert in our field next to the barn and we all jump and twirl around to Light And Day. It’s like Woodstock. Or Blogstock. Or like this. If it ever goes down, I promise to invite you.
10. Light And Day is the most-played song in my iPod. The second most-played song is an edited version of Light And Day.
11. My psychic abilities are telling me that you really want a link to The Bananas Splits Theme Song. Alright. Here it is.
12. I received a big smackaroo from Jen at A2EatWrite, Jenn in Holland and Michelle at Scribbit.
I’d like to pass it along to each and every one of you…that made it to the end of this post. You deserve it!

Ooooooh. Aaaaah.
Awe, thanks for the Roar and the Mwah! It’s making this cold, dreary, Michigan Sunday MUCH warmer! And I agree - I’d love to see Tom Bergeron walking around with booger hair.
Congratulations — you are an awesome blogger.
Now you need to enter my contest!
Thankyou so much! Also booger in the hair? Definitely not funny.
Mmmmm, cadbury creme eggs. Actually everything Cadbury does is good.
Holy Cow, you win a lot of awards! That would really stroke my blogging ego… I promise you I’ve written something for your monthly column, but I decided it was all wrong. I’m starting again, from scratch. Much like I’ve decided to do with my children…
(I kid… my kids are pretty okay…)
Also– I, too, love Cadbury eggs. mmmmm…
All pregant women DO deserve a pedicure. Get one. NOW.
Mwah! to you too baby, again and again, and again.
Congrats on the awards - great post to pass them on. And I totally LOVE the idea of Blogstock. You need to get on planning that, right after you get your pedicure.
Aw! Thanks for the Roar award. You are right, I am a big jerk and I will probably never acknowledge it. But, I love you for giving it to me anyway.
(And does this count as acknowledging it? Because I AM. Just, you know, not on my blog.) I just get all twitchy when I have to pick people to pass it on to…soooo hard.
Maybe your bloglines subscriber just switched to a different reader? I’m sure thats what it was. They would NEVER leave YOU.
Congrats on your awards. I think a lot of us are a little glued to our stats. Thanks for the kiss too. I hope the wife doesn’t find out.
Stats? Bloglines? Crap, I am so not a good blogger. I have NO idea what that’s all about. Should I? I probably don’t deserve a blog. Sigh.
Congrats on the awards!!! And thanks for the linky love.
Boogers? Uh no, not in my hair and not wiped anywhere in my house either.
Congrats on your awards. I probably screw up your stats by only visiting every 2 weeks and reading everything and commenting and hanging around for a half hour. sorry!!
Banana Splits was actually a favorite of mine in Jr.High/High School (I graduated in ‘75). I know it was meant for the kiddos, but it was so much better than the other nonsense on Saturday morning. And they made no pretense about being anything but silly. This might explain something about my twisted sense of humour!
