I have several emails in my inbox that I have yet to respond to.  Between a messy house, two kids and throwing up, I find I don’t have much time to sit and write back to people!  Do I write a half-@ss response or wait until I actually have the time and let them think I am ignoring them in the meantime?  What are the netiquette rules in my case?

My pal Mindi is having a giveaway on her site!

Curly wrote about this awesome site where you can be creative and make some collages.  Here is my creation.  My old 90210 collage from high school has nothing on this!

CurlyWurlyGurly is having a contest in honor of National Doodle Day, and I submitted Katie’s family portrait.  Since Caley is campaigning for herself, I have decided to campaign for Katie & me!

So, I was looking up an address on Google maps, and noticed there was a ’street view’.  Holy crap, they have pictures of the street and houses as if you are driving down the middle of the street.  I googled my dad’s address, and sure as sh*t, there is his house.  The garage door was open and you can see inside!  There are cars parked and you can see license plates!! This seems like a huge invasion of privacy to me.  What do you think?

I just logged in here at wordpress and see they have made some changes without my approval.  Here I thought I was going to take a minute to check things out, and now it will take forever to see what is going on here! (Sorry, non-wordpress readers, you probably have NO idea what I’m talking about!)

Here are the latest crazy terms people are using to be directed to my site:

1. why do women have skid marks/are skid marks the biggest challenge of /picture of skid mark in underware -Wow, quite the fascination with skidmarks!!
2. diarrhea after eating at spaghetti factory -I’ve only had it after Olive Garden
3. what should i do if i swallow my crown? -Don’t try to save it, as some people have suggested to me.  The cost of a new crown is ALWAYS better than putting the old one back in after it comes out the ‘other’ end.
4. sister in law pictures caught in the bed -Don’t really know what to say about that!
5. lost 10 pounds from milk of magnesia – Yikes!
6. daughter wont grow up 26 yr – An all too common problem, I think.
7. blood trail – ??!!??
8. darth vadar – see above
9. breastfeeding her monkey – EWW
10. nipples – Alrighty then!

Mindy tagged me with the Favorite Posts Meme which offers a second chance to older, perhaps forgotten posts.

Rules: Go back through your archives and post the links to your five favorite blog posts that you’ve written.

• Link one must be about family
• Link two must be about friends
• Link three must be about yourself
• Link four must be about something you love
• Link five can be about anything you choose

Post your five links and then tag five other people.  At least two of the people you tag must be newer acquaintances so that you get to know each other better. 

 Ok, so:

• Link one is the one about my grandma
• Link two is  about my childhood friends and my mommy friends.
• Link three is my interview with Amy
• Link four is what I love about summer
• Link five is the time that Katie got into Grandma’s lipstick

And now who to tag…….who to tag?

A few things you WON’T find on my blog, yet the search engines send people right on over to me… 

• my chinese grandma
• wa-wa-wah sound
• Blood on the red carpet
• pregnancy fetish
• “the bras” “father in law” blog
• “our toilet overflowed” husband
• how to be a fabulous housekeeper (SERIOUSLY, you’ll NEVER find this on my blog!)

The top search is for Spinach Artichoke Dip… either O’Charley’s, Costco or Martha Stewart.  I have my own recipe that would beat theirs in a taste test any day!  Try it!

In the meantime, let me know what weird phrase has sent people over to your site?
