You Wan Me Fluff You Pillow?

by rachaelgking on June 12, 2009 · 130 comments

That’s right, folks, housekeeping! Because I have a buncha random tidbits for you, and frankly, it’s been a helluva week.

Despite work handing my ass to me every day on a silver platter, the past few days have been really freaking cool. I was invited a premiere of Teddy Folkman’s (chef and owner of the INCREDIBLE Granville Moore’s) new menu premiere at Capitol Lounge, so B and I are guaranteed to have an amazing meal tomorrow evening. (P.S., I made the reservation for four and our other couple can’t make it… anybody hungry?) I also received a bunch of requests to participate in stuff for free shit. You guys all know how I feel about free stuff, right? I AM A FAN. Just FYI. Send it this way, folks. I’ll give it a good home.

And then, I was informed me last night that This. Just. HAPPENED:


Yes, my darlings, you are correct in what you see… that is MY FACE stuffing itself with hangover cheeseburger on the home page of 20 Something Bloggers! So many of you went to bat for me in their Nominations thread, I just can’t thank you enough… especially my darling Muppet Soul, who first put my name up there. THANKS, y’all! That seriously made my week. Month, I suppose, since that’s how long my ridiculous picture will be up there.

Because I am greedy and nothing is ever enough, I just found out via the lovely Stephanie that I’ve also been nominated for Funniest Blogger over here. So if you FEEL like it, you could click on the button below and vote for my lil’ ole self. I’m up against the bigwigs like Dooce and my heart of hearts Jenny, of course, but hey, never hurts to try. (You don’t have to log in or anything to vote. Just sayin.)


This concludes this Friday’s session of self-pimpage. I promise.

(Wait, real quick I just want to say thankyousomuch for all the input on Wednesday’s post about our blog gripes! I was a little terrified when I hit “Publish” on that one, but it’d been stewing inside for a while… and clearly you all feel the same way. So THANKS for that, truly.)

Okay. NOW I’m done.

Let’s move on to “Awesome Things People Basically, My Friend Court Sent Me This Week.”

1. One of my guilty pleasures is the Sky Mall magazine. With things like Hula chairs, nose bleed stoppers, and signed “Soup Nazi” photos, what better entertainment could you ask for? Well, now they bring us this…


Yes, that’s right people… your very own handy-dandy Wine Glass Neck Holder! Never again will turbulence steal a drop of your $5 Sutter Home merlot! Be hands-free at your dinner party for hand-shaking WHILE you eat all the shrimp cocktail! (Kristina, I know you’ll especially love this.)

2. Twin blue-eyed panther cubs born in Berlin! I have no words… just LOOK:


Read the whole story about these adorable little abominations here.

3. Bret Michaels taking a piece of the stage to the head at the Tony Awards.

Look, I actually love me some Bret… his show has brought me ENDLESS hours of entertainment and a whole lot of feeling-better-about-myself-because-DAMN-look-at-those-not-so-hot-messes! But this is HILARIOUS. Thanks, Fearless! My life is better for having seen that.

4. Okay, I don’t know what’s going on over in Germany, but apparently their zoos ROCK, because they have a gay penguin couple raising a chick together! No, really… this is not a joke.

Visit msnbc.com for Breaking News, World News, and News about the Economy

AWESOME SAUCE.

5. And finally… Forget week, forget month… this? Made MY LIFE. It’s true. Maxie heard me “squeeeee!” when she told me about it.

Zack Morris on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. No, not Mark-Paul Gosselar…

ZACK. FREAKING. MORRIS. My very first TV crush, cinderblock cell phone and all.

TIME IN!

One last housekeeping… if you’re not doing anything tonight and you want to meet a group of us for Happy Hour, leave your email in the comments and I’ll shoot you the deets. Mama needs a beer YESTERDAY, y’all.

Happy weekend, lovebugs… and thank you for everything!

I want to go to happy hour. With the wine necklace around my neck.

What, you meant like, in DC?

Crap.

I bet David Carradine would have loved the wine necklace.

2 Kez June 12, 2009 at 11:56 am

Congrats! 20SB rocks :)
Oh and I totally want that wine glass neck holder thingy. The amount of times I've been to weddings and had to try to eat finger food, hold a cocktail and have a decent conversation at the same time!
Although, knowing me I would accidentally drop my canapes IN the glass.
*sigh*
It's hard being unco-ordinated. Have a great weekend!!

3 Mb June 12, 2009 at 11:58 am

congrats on all the awards noms :) i'd totally join you at the dinner if my parents weren't in town :/ i should prob order myself one of those wine glass necklaces to get me through the weekend :P

4 ChinkyGirLMeL June 12, 2009 at 12:21 pm

OMG! That's super cool! Congrats on being the featured blogger of the month on 20sb! woohoo…I'm off to voting for you for the Funniest blog. Hope you have a great great weekend

5 BEAT June 12, 2009 at 12:27 pm

The Zack Morris video was life changing. Life changing. Amazing. Little piece of heaven, I say.

6 tfh June 12, 2009 at 12:30 pm

So jealous…I always wanted to be the chick with two daddies! That said, my imaginary gay pops would so not approve of that wine glass neck holder.

7 Cheddar June 12, 2009 at 12:32 pm

Skymall is approximately half of the reason I love traveling, and it's really outdone itself this time. And just when I thought you couldn't top that, gay penguins? Best Friday ever!

8 Marie June 12, 2009 at 12:43 pm

1. Congrats!!!

2. Voted!

3. I wonder if the have a beer neck holder? I'd be all over that.

9 PQ June 12, 2009 at 12:44 pm

I would take your offer up for dinner tomorrow night but I gotta go to MD…family shit.

But. I cannot wait to see (lick?) your face tonight!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mwah!

10 Maxie June 12, 2009 at 12:46 pm

Oh lovebug. I'm assuming I'll be your date to the 20sb prom?

11 thegoodgirlgoneblog.com June 12, 2009 at 12:52 pm

Nice work lady! And those gay penguins are so cute! I want one. Let's get on that.

12 Shop Girl* June 12, 2009 at 12:56 pm

Congratulations!!

And I LOVE the penguin bit.. I was so happy when I first heard that.

13 Logical Libby June 12, 2009 at 12:56 pm

I like how the wine holder is made to hold the "full bottle of wine" glass ALSO sold by Sky Mall…

14 SoMi's Nilsa June 12, 2009 at 12:58 pm

IMHO, Dooce is not funny. You should win that little contest hands-down. I'm outta here, lest I waste more time … need to get my ass over *there* to vote!

15 Little Ms Blogger June 12, 2009 at 1:00 pm

Congrats on the award!

I LOVED Saved By the Bell and really like Raising the Bar…..great sketch.

Jealous about the drinks – will have to have raise a glass and pretend I'm there.

16 Julie Q June 12, 2009 at 1:06 pm

Congrats on the awesome victory that is 20SB of the year (am i right?!) tehehe. i would have derek zoolander accepted the award myself, but i heart you too much.

NOTHING wrong with shameless plugs, i happen to be a big fan of that over at the http://www.jqlounge.com hahaha

wine glass cozi is right up there with the pacemaker and breakfast burrito as best inventions ever.

17 wafelenbak June 12, 2009 at 1:08 pm

What a great wrap up!
Congrats on the accolades!
I freaking love the Skymall catalog!!

18 Redhead June 12, 2009 at 1:10 pm

A premiere that includes Teddy Folkman? Oh girl. He's my next motorboat installment. Can you swing a ticket my way? I'll like totally be your bitch. I'll lick your Steve Maddens, you know, if you are into that.

Congrats on all the awesome nominations/awards. It's about time people bow down.

19 Miss Scorpio June 12, 2009 at 1:17 pm

Congrats, baby girl! You do realize the pressure's on, right? :)

20 Shannon June 12, 2009 at 1:24 pm

First of all, congratulations!! You totally deserve it. I so wish I could go to happy hour with you.

And also? Zack Morris!?!? I thought I'd never see him again. You just made my LIFE. I'm very upset because I can't embed it anywhere, it's not letting me! Apparently NBC doesn't like it going around? Hrmph!I'm glad you got it before they put a stop on it!

21 Holly Golightly June 12, 2009 at 1:26 pm

Congrats on being the featured blogger! That's awesome and you totes magotes deserve it. What, I may or may not have watched I Love You, Man recently.

Also, I wish I could go to the HH tonight because, hello, I always need beer but the boyfriend is flying in and we're going to try out this whole going on an actual date thing. Should be quite the experience.

Definitely interested to see what you have to say about the new restaurant. Keep us posted (or you know, invite us all along).

Happy Friday!

22 Matt June 12, 2009 at 1:31 pm

Congrats!!!

23 Lacey June 12, 2009 at 1:31 pm

That wine holder is seriously hilarious! I also love the story about the gay penguins but I was so sad to hear that they broke up.

24 Hopers June 12, 2009 at 1:38 pm

Many congrats! :)

I remember reading about the gay penguins a ways back. The zoo-keepers were really stumped (at first) as to why their penguins weren't reproducing. Until they realized that the boys weren't so interested in the girls.

25 Stephanie June 12, 2009 at 1:39 pm

Congrats again for everything. That is so awesome.

26 Bird Shit and Baby Caca June 12, 2009 at 1:41 pm

Congrats on bring the 20 Something Blogger for the month (sigh, less than a month for me to go…yet another reminder that I will have to start lying about my age).
I saw the Zack Morris thing and almost licked my computer, he's so yummy!!!

27 nothingfancy1 June 12, 2009 at 1:42 pm

I "heart" Zach Morris!

Have a wonderful time at dinner tonight!

28 Herb of DC June 12, 2009 at 1:45 pm

That wine glass holder only needs a pouch to hold my work ID and it would be perfect!

29 jeluttrull June 12, 2009 at 1:47 pm

Congrats again, LiLu.

And, I popped in and threw a vote your way. ;)

Gay penguins…always gotta be an interesting story somewhere's, eh?

30 Jules June 12, 2009 at 1:49 pm

Congratulations! I totally just voted for you! And now I'm going to go buy that wine neck holder thing! Awesome!

31 Cyndy June 12, 2009 at 1:55 pm

Hey Congrats Lilu! And what a nice assortment of tidbits – something for everyone. Loved the blue-eyed panthers!

32 rondamarie June 12, 2009 at 2:02 pm

Congratulations, we all know you're awesome, its about time the world started to recognize it and started making some awards for that shit.

33 SassyLittleGinger June 12, 2009 at 2:06 pm

That wine holder should be named after you.

And congrats on being so popular! You like, totally deserve it.

34 Kali June 12, 2009 at 2:07 pm

Oh man, I am taking one of those cubs home with me.

WHAT? There are TWO!!!

Just scrolled down to read your Wednesday post – well written. Was delighted to see Brett's near-decapitation. It was so good I choked on my cereal watching it..

35 shine June 12, 2009 at 2:07 pm

I'm just going to go with the crowd and say CONGRATULATIONS.

And…I voted. Just for you.

36 Jaxie Fantastic June 12, 2009 at 2:09 pm

You deserve all the nominations, and to be the Blogger of the Month! Congrats! :)

37 Alice June 12, 2009 at 2:13 pm

congrats to you! hurrah!

i'll see you tonight, extra hurrah!

38 Kate June 12, 2009 at 2:21 pm

I too am addicted to Sky Mall.

39 Lusty Reader June 12, 2009 at 2:21 pm

woot woot! you're on the hot tamale train!! (what? doesn't everyone love/quote mary murphy from sytycd?)

and no joke, for our wedding someone gave us cocktail plates with a little hole on the side to stick the stem of your wine glass in so your plate can hold your glass.

we did NOT register for those.

40 Organic Meatbag June 12, 2009 at 2:22 pm

Congrats, crazy lady! I unfortunately do not qualify for the 20sb seeing as how I am a 35 year old sack of moldy monkey turds, or else I would have voted for you too…
Enjoy and rape the benfits! Uhhh… I mean "reap" the benefits…because you can't spell "reap" without "rape"…

41 Eric June 12, 2009 at 2:36 pm

Must. have… wine.. holder…
(for my blingy pimp cup, of course)

42 JFo June 12, 2009 at 2:40 pm

Congrats on the accolades!

Although SkyMall is hawking a creative solution to the problem of how do you eat, drink and shake hands at a cocktail hour, I'll probably stick with my approach of finishing my drink when I need a free hand and then getting a fresh one soon thereafter.

43 Summer June 12, 2009 at 2:40 pm

Congrats, Little Lady! Um, those cubs were a complete cute overload. I want one.

Oh, and I voted for you! Woo hoo! Go LiLu!

44 Liebchen June 12, 2009 at 2:43 pm

I love the random assortment of this post. The cubs and penguins are a-DOR-able.

And Zack Morris…well, let's just say I used to have "Zack Attack" on my iPod.

45 Lauren June 12, 2009 at 2:55 pm

Congrats on the award!! and I'm totally going to vote for you for funniest blog, you crack me up! :O)

46 witchypoo June 12, 2009 at 2:55 pm

Congratulations on all the nominations and recognition. You deserve it, you are wicked funny. While you are housekeeping, you may want to consider moving away from blogspot, because it sucks. If you go wordpress self-hosted, you can get you some commentluv. And totally jack with the CSS.

47 verybadcat June 12, 2009 at 3:02 pm

Congrats! It's about damn time the rest of the world figured out how awesome you are…

;)

48 ~Penny~ June 12, 2009 at 3:02 pm

Congrats on your awards! Question: Do you get kicked off of 20-something bloggers when you turn 30?

49 ifihadtopickfive June 12, 2009 at 3:05 pm

The Zack Morris thing pretty much made my week.

50 down and out chic June 12, 2009 at 3:05 pm

big congrats to you!!! i'm off to check out your funny competition. have a good weekend.

51 PorkStar June 12, 2009 at 3:08 pm

Congratulations!!!!!!I went and voted for you.. no idea who the other chics are but whatever…and I know your blog is funny cause I've read it from the very beggining. Now if you ask me for something from back earlier in your posts, that may be a little difficult cause I suffer from CRAFT (Can't Remember A Fucking Thing) like someone pointed out on my blog. But I remember that your boyfriend's name starts with B. I'm so sure of that! : )

52 Andhari June 12, 2009 at 3:11 pm

CONGRATSSSS, I've been saying at the forum how you deserve that along with a lot of other bloggers, I'm glad they hear us. ANd on that different award, girlie you can swoop Dooce's ass. I love you so much more!!!

53 Children of the Nineties June 12, 2009 at 3:27 pm

I'm sure you're shocked, but the Zack Morris thing of course unbelievably exciting to me. MPG was hilarious in full costume, I was definitely impressed. I am beyond excited for a potential reunion!

54 Sheri June 12, 2009 at 3:35 pm

Congrats! LOL Loved the Zac Morris thing too!

55 Miss Rosa June 12, 2009 at 3:36 pm

OMG poor Bret hahaha! And YES to SAVED BY THE BELL!

56 just me June 12, 2009 at 3:37 pm

I LOVE Sky Mall.

They had this thing…this PILLOW THING…and allows you to slump forward and drool on yourself while on a plane. Supposed to be good for your neck.

I say, good for a laugh.

57 f.B June 12, 2009 at 3:46 pm

It is official: you own the internet. You're so having your way with it. You're banging it.

58 Wonderful June 12, 2009 at 3:47 pm

Congrats lady!!

59 DouglasDyer June 12, 2009 at 3:49 pm

Thus marking the first time I have ever been jealous of a hamburger.

60 Deutlich June 12, 2009 at 3:51 pm

OMG THOSE PANTHERS! WANT!!!!!

Also – CONGRATULATIONS!!! I added your blog to the feed last night so now your posts show up on the main page too. :-D

61 Fizzgig June 12, 2009 at 4:25 pm

i was super excited when zack said time out and everyone froze. it was like a time warp!

and congrats on your winning, thats pretty sweeeeet!

62 Mr. Apron June 12, 2009 at 4:27 pm

David Carradine definitely would have loved the wine necklace. I think he also would have loved the gay penguins, too. And a necklace for them as well.

Congratulations on all the shnizz, LiLu– self-promotion = well-deserved.

Only– that isn't a cell-phone Zack Morris is holding, it's a Chevrolet Cavalier.

63 JM June 12, 2009 at 4:33 pm

congrats on the 20 something bloggers! so cool! and zach morris was my first crush (and it never really ended! ha!)

64 alexa - cleveland's a plum June 12, 2009 at 4:40 pm

65 calixta.jive. June 12, 2009 at 4:55 pm

oh and i am right there with you… i HEART zack morris!!! :o )

66 Dmbosstone June 12, 2009 at 5:00 pm

I just voted for ya!

67 Dr. H June 12, 2009 at 5:01 pm

argh! I totally wrote a comment like, 2 hours ago and it's not here. So… in Germany a friend and I went to an ice hockey game, and all these fat old men had these hand-knitted plastic beer cup holders around their necks. we thought they were crazy. Three beers and three beer cups each later, we realized that they collected the cups to get their deposit back. I think there may be a picture somewhere….

68 Briana June 12, 2009 at 5:01 pm

I totally voted. But not because you kind of sort of told/asked us to, but because you really are funny!

And I saw Zach on Jimmy Fallon and I seriously thought about you. I didn't bother mentioning it, because I figured you had already seen it. Wasn't it awesome!?!?!

Loves him.

69 moooooog35 June 12, 2009 at 5:15 pm

I'm 40.

Does that mean I can be on the 20 Somethings Blogger site TWICE…

…or only half?

I'm lost.

This is what happens when you're older than shit.

70 Dr Zibbs June 12, 2009 at 5:17 pm

Congrats. You have a very funny blog.

Unlike so many others that have…

that have…

OK I'll say it. There are a lot of really crappy, boring blogs out there.

71 mo.stoneskin June 12, 2009 at 5:36 pm

That wine glass holder is pitiful. I want a cheese burger, fries and pint neck holder.

*shuts eyes and dreams of heaven*

Although I'm not sure how good that would be for my back.

72 Just Playing Pretend June 12, 2009 at 5:49 pm

When I saw Zack on Fallon I peed from giddiness and excitement.

73 Just Playing Pretend June 12, 2009 at 5:50 pm

Oh yeah. And it's about time you were blogger of the month for the 20 somethings! Congrats hooker.

74 WickedCourtni June 12, 2009 at 5:52 pm

Voted and get your brick phone.

75 erinwalker June 12, 2009 at 6:01 pm

76 Eggy Mayers June 12, 2009 at 6:05 pm

Voted for sure!
Well done, well deserved. =)

77 Kristin June 12, 2009 at 6:12 pm

Dude I could not get over Zach Morris' return and I'm pulling for that SBTB reunion! Congrats btw!

78 repliderium.com June 12, 2009 at 6:15 pm

There is not nearly enough free shit in the world. Seriously.
Congrats on the win & nomination!

79 Ronnica June 12, 2009 at 6:42 pm

I didn't watch a ton of SBTB, but that video's hilarious!

80 The Odd Duck June 12, 2009 at 7:17 pm

First off, congratulations.

Second, SBTB reunion? Seriously? Now all they need is a Family Matters and Fresh Prince reunion and it'll be like my childhood all over again.

81 Lil' Woman June 12, 2009 at 7:17 pm

Congrats on all your nominations.
My heart skipped a beat too when "Zack" came out. Please let there be a save by the bell reunion…I hope screech shows up all porn tape and all! :)

82 Kim June 12, 2009 at 7:21 pm

The return of Zach Morris can be described as nothing less than a miracle.

You so deserve the recognition!

83 amanda June 12, 2009 at 7:51 pm

thanks for being amazing.

and sighhh for zack! holla, hollla.

happy weekend, love noodle!

84 Shawna June 12, 2009 at 7:58 pm

Congratulations on your popularity, love the gay penguins, and the wine glass holder reminds me of the huge drink glass necklaces they sell in Vegas!

85 Amber (Girl with the red hair) June 12, 2009 at 8:02 pm

Congrats on being featured on 20sb!!! That is VERY cooL!!

86 Big Money Tony June 12, 2009 at 8:09 pm

Congratulations on your win/nominations. So tonight is the after-party? Will Paris Hilton be there? I hear she's available now. Although she is a skank, she does liven up a party I hear.

87 ThePolkaDottedOwl June 12, 2009 at 8:18 pm

"You just time me out?"

88 ThePolkaDottedOwl June 12, 2009 at 8:20 pm

oh also congrats girlie! once i saw zack my mind went somewhere else. i think we both know where…

89 WuTang June 12, 2009 at 8:25 pm

woohooooooooo featured blog! You rock my spaghetti sauce for serious.

90 miss rambles June 12, 2009 at 8:27 pm

congratulations miss lilu. have also voted u for funny blog cos honey YOU ARE THE SHIT!!! at least to me and thats gotta count right?!

and as i have voted for you, can you buy and post me tht wine holder extremely handy and i could attach a straw to it therefore never actually having to use my hands lol

91 James June 12, 2009 at 8:34 pm

Congrats on being the supa star of 20somethingbloggers! Much deserved.

I would have loved to of been a fly on the wall when this wine glass holder idea was presented. "it's basically a wine glass you wear around your neck, and it's basically the best thing ever invented, so, yeah" I'd also like to see the infomercial for this(if it has one) because it would probably show a guy trying to shake someone's hand and sloppily and over exaggeratedly tossing his wine glass to the floor, because that happens SO often, just like that girl who can't talk on the phone and use a blanket in the slanket commercial. Good times.

92 Lisa Chelle June 12, 2009 at 8:44 pm

Congrats! Voted….

I loved this post, you made my week!

93 Hanako66 June 12, 2009 at 10:37 pm

I am so all freaking over the SBTB reuinion and I'll take two wine holders please

94 Katelin June 12, 2009 at 10:43 pm

i love that my featured 20 sb profile pic was me munching down on a burger too. i think we may have set a trend for future winners :)

but really, congrats, you're a rock star!

and ummm love the zack morris clip, seriously made my life when i saw that earlier this week.

95 Mr. Condescending June 12, 2009 at 11:18 pm

Good 'entertainer' impression on 20sb LiLu! You almost had me fooled!

96 lovelila June 13, 2009 at 1:10 am

Congrats on the 20SB featured blogger score! Whoo! I hadn't seen the Bret Michaels thing, just heard about it, but LOL! Wow, that was a definite wipe-out! Those panthers are adorable!

97 ♥Caroline♥ June 13, 2009 at 1:22 am

wow, you definitely have my vote for funniest blog.

Bret Michaels actually had that coming….his third season of rock of love was just horrible…he should have stayed with Amber! she was perfect for him.

98 Brian June 13, 2009 at 1:25 am

I voted, which is impressive since I didn't even vote in the last presidential election.

99 Jaime June 13, 2009 at 1:42 am

oh goodness your blog is hilarious. following! (and voting!)

100 reederscorner June 13, 2009 at 1:55 am

CONGRATS!!!! Loved the Zach Morris clip :)

101 Spellbound June 13, 2009 at 2:11 am

Rumor has it that you are actually three bloggers since no one person could be as funny or have the time to keep up this hilarity day after day. Oh, the cup, I immediately thought that if I bent over to pet the panthers (cause I'm an idiot when I'm drunk) my wine would just pour out on the ground like I was a toddler with the lid off my sippy cup. I think I'll just continue to drink mine straight out of the bottle.

102 Jenni Jiggety June 13, 2009 at 2:13 am

Look at you, racking up the accolades! I would say congrats, but I am too busy writing to my lawyer because I was denied entry into the twenty somethings group simply because I am thirty something.

Ageist bastards.

103 Lola June 13, 2009 at 2:16 am

Congrats on your nominations!

119 Captain Dumbass June 14, 2009 at 3:23 am

I tried to watch those videos, but my wi-fi connection is so pathetic tonight it just infuriated me to the point I had to go over to my neighbours and light his car on fire. He works for my internet provider so I think it was fair.

I have to go now, somebody is knocking on my door really hard.

120 the girl in stiletto June 14, 2009 at 11:56 am

So awesome! Totally off you vote for you, once I get my paws on one of those wine glass necklaces. What better accessory can I wear?! Exactly. None.

122 BlackLOG June 14, 2009 at 6:13 pm

1. One of my guilty pleasures is the Sky Mall magazine. With things like Hula chairs, nose bleed stoppers, and signed "Soup Nazi" photos, what better entertainment could you ask for? Well, now they bring us this…

LILU That's not the Soup Nazi (I followed your link), The real Soup Nazi is my Yoga teacher and she trys to force feed you with unwanted soup not prevent you from having it…..

123 Elizabeth June 14, 2009 at 8:43 pm

124 meleah rebeccah June 15, 2009 at 2:19 am

Oh Im so happy for you an all of your nominations. For the record? I think your blog is only like a billion times better than Dooce.

125 Nanny Goats In Panties June 15, 2009 at 3:53 am

OMG – those cubs are the cutest! And if I ever (EVER!) see a bozo with a glass of merlot hanging around his neck, I will have no choice but to create some turbulence around his neck area.

126 Iva June 15, 2009 at 7:55 am

hope you had a great weekend!

127 Mermanda June 15, 2009 at 1:11 pm

Man it is so exhausting commenting on this blog, girl. I have to scroll ALL THE WAY down to the bottom of the Internet and it takes a million years. But I guess it is all worth it because I came here to say congrats on being the featured blogger! That's very exciting! I hope this means I can get a mug with your face on it now.

128 Susan June 16, 2009 at 4:01 am

Congratulations! I've been meaning to stop by your blog for a while now and then this happened and it pushed me right over- so glad I came :)
