Gaga For Lulu

Alright ya’ all. We are a little over a 1/3 of the way to our goal number for the gift basket drawing at Babblz. I am excited! I’ve been fired up over the last few weeks every time I have gone to submit a post or story to Digg, or others alike, and found that I just don’t fit anywhere.

Yeah, somewhere for mommy and daddy, or others that write in this avenue, bloggers and readers to submit their work. After all, don’t we put time and thought into our posts as well?

I mean, in the words of Napoleon Dynamite, “goshhhh”.

Also, if anyone is interested in adding a Babblz button to any of their posts to show off how many people have voted for you, copy the code from this file: babblzbutton.txt.

Be proud of your thoughts and keep letting them flow, I have been told I have diarrhea of the mouth, but does that stop me? Hell no!!!!

Also, This is my 40 gazillionth post in the last day or so, so scroll down and check out more interesting thoughts that have flowed from my crazy ass head. LOL!

Oh ,the Joys sent me this list of questions. I did offer in a round about way. Hell I’m not skerd. If anyone is game for a little trivia of their own let me know! I can cook up some good ones.

By the way, check out Oh, the Joys, she is freakin’ hilarious. I sometimes dribble while reading, hey don’t laugh, 3 kids and a hysterectomy will do that to you! LOL.

Here it goes:

How did you meet your significant other and when did you know he/she was THE
ONE?
In college, I was a sophomore and The Big Guy was a lowly ol’ freshman. We both played division 1 ball in college, so I first laid eyes on him when he was drunk and stoned at his baseball initiation. I thought he was disgusting!!! Following fall, we were in some classes together, he cheated off me, we became best friends over a couple of months and va va va voom, realized there was more than friendship. I knew the second we became, how do you say, romantic. The Big Guy was my best friend, knew me inside and out, and could rock my world. Doesn’t get much better!!!

How would you characterize the person you were in high school? In college?

I was unsure of myself in high school. I was an athlete, had many friends, popular, but never really felt like I belonged to one specific crowd. I guess I just hadn’t come in to my own yet. Oh boy, college, I was definitely sure of myself. We had too much fun, I was a very happy go lucky type of person, much less anxious than I am now, but still compulsive about things. We had the cleanest college house of anyone around. Very liked, without giving it much thought.

Tell us about a time in your life when you felt ashamed.

Ooh, tough one. I am going to very honest here. Please don’t judge. After the mess with The Babe, you know hospital for 30 something days, a hell of a lot of surgery and blood transfusions, near death experience, I was hooked on pain pills. It lasted a few months, but I realized 1 day that I wasn’t taking them to do away with pain, but to forget what had just happened and numb myself. I will never forget sitting down with The Big Guy and asking him to help me, I was so embarrassed and ashamed. I thought I was stronger than that. He helped me get through it, I love that man!!

If you could ask a genie to grant you three wishes, what would your wishes be?
(Wishing for more wishes is not allowed.)

1. My kids to be healthy

2. My family to have much happiness

3. Give me the strength I need to get through whatever lies in the flippin’ future.

Do you contest that the National Park Ranger Uniform is the sexiest uniform
there is and, if so, what uniform would, in your opinion, trump that of the
Park Ranger?

Haha. I think a UPS uniform, brown baby, brown. He could ring my bell and deliver his package, hee hee. Or construction, those jeans, with the jacket and hat, yee ha! Something about a man that isn’t afraid to get dirty.

More than a couple of questions popped in my crazy ass head this morning. Where to start, oh boy, oh boy , oh boy!

1. It is the first day of The Tribe’s spring break, so why the hell were they up by 6 AM?

2. Why am I so tired lately? (I am convinced it’s the medicine, but we won’t go there!)

3. Why doesn’t The Big Guy sleep anymore? (I am worried about him, he usually hibernates)

4. Why are the ol’ taters aching so bad? Did I not have the hysterectomy?

5. What is that smell in the fridge?

6. Why is The Boss acting like a pre pubescent tween right now?

7. What is a thirty something old mom suppose to wear? (The mom section sucks, but the teeny bopper section looks like you belong swinging on a pole for dollar bills)

8. Will The Big Guy be able to give me a repeat performance of Saturday night? (I’m praying for this one!!!!! LOL)

So there you have it. My head is all over the place. I am like a flippin’ bouncy ball. Ping, ping, booing! If only my physical self had this much energy!

I do have some exciting news though, the Babblz.com site that the hubs and I started is a third of the way to our target number. Remember, for every 75 names that register, we will give away a smelly nice basket. You even get your choice of flavors! We appreciate everyones support so far, we look forward to getting Babblz.com off the ground.

The Big Guy and I actually went out last night, just us, no kids, in a car, not a minivan! We met with some fellow bloggers that live in our area. Who had a better time? I would say The Big Guy. He got to conversate about advertising, marketing strategies and IT bullshit that I only get 50% of the time.

I finally got to meet Aaron Brazell, technology manager for b5 media, and his wife Nicole. Enjoyed their company. It is always nice when you meet easy going, self assured people. You know, the kind that actually conversate and have something worth while to say. It makes everything so much flippin’ easier!

We also met Greg Gershman from Blogdigger. Nice guy! Listening to them talk, I realized I actually do get this whole blog marketing thing. It is always refreshing to learn new concepts and explore different avenues. It keeps your thinking skills going, you know?

I am definitely out of my comfort zone with some of ths stuff, but that is good. At least that is what The Big Guy says. But what the hell does he know? Haha.

Getting back to last night, it was cool to get out but OMG 12 o’clock is just too late anymore. I know, what a wuss. I’ll admit it, I can’t hang anymore, unless I am working all night (but that is different). I was so piss ass tired driving home. The Big Guy was babbling away in the co-pilot position for the entire drive. He had 5 beers and doesn’t really drink all that much anymore, so he had an earful of nothing to chit chat about. I have no damn clue what he was talking about, I just nodded my head and said, “uhh huh, I know” every few minutes.

Of course, as you can speculate, 5 beers, going out on a “date” and being all geeked up on the IT conversations, he was in a bow chicka bow bow kind of mood. Thats right 12:30 AM and I am expected to perform. Holy shit, I had to pull my energies together and rock his world. LOL!!!!! Anywho 45 minutes later (woo hoo!), we were ready for bed.

So yeah, good night. Got to meet some new people, hang out with my baby and got lucky. It doesn’t get much better! Haha.
