What do you do when

You find out your blog buddy is having foot surgery?

Send a card? A bouquet of flowers? Some Depporn to take her mind off things? Nope. You write a guest post for her about your domestic incompetency. That's sure to cheer her up!

I saved the bunny but lost my virginity

I was a guest post virgin. Until last Friday.

Velveteen Mind enticed me with her cute, little bunny and before I knew it I'd slipped her a note and she said come on over.

Like most firsts, there was some fumbling involved. Clumsy me couldn't figure out how to get her invite to work, so she had to redo it. But, in the end, we made beautiful bloggy love.

Here's the hookup, for all you voyeurs out there.

 

Also, thanks to 2 lives for giving Blogtations a Kreativ Blogger award! I made an Accolades page to display it.

Have you checked out the sites in my sidebar? Like One Sentence, which is kinda like Post Secret without the pictures, I Am Neurotic, where people share their neuroses with the world, Not Always Right or in other words Customers on Crack, Passive Aggressive Notes, "painfully polite and hilariously hostile" at the same time, and then of course, The "Blog" of "Unnecessary" Quotation Marks.

Spread the quotes and share the, um, wisdom

Also, in today's quotes Bee-Spot shares an embarrassing moment. I've learned a lot of valuable lessons through all my many humiliations. Like don't practice hurdle jumping on a chain across a grocery checkout lane, don't wear an easy to unsnap blouse while holding a ten-month-old baby at a wedding reception, and don't clean out one's nose when one thinks one's hidden in one's office cubie, because one never knows when one's co-worker might peer over the divider.

So how about you? What, um, lessons have you learned from your chagrin-causing moments?

Quote for the night

So last Thursday night a few bloggers hoped to get a glimpse of the People's Party and hung out in the provided chat room while we waited. The live streaming video never streamed, but our conversation sure did! For a time it was mostly Izzy, Anissa and me. We talked about our lives and our blogs and being green. At one point our locations came up, which led to the following, and also just goes to show you—the quotes, they are everywhere...

01:10 Izzy: Alabama? Not so much
01:11 Anissa: and it's the fuzzy butthole of Alabama....it sucks
01:11 Musing: fuzzy butthole lol
01:11 Izzy: I live on the tiny [censored] of tampa
01:12 Anissa: oh how i wish I could read what you just wrote there
01:12 Anissa: spell it out Izzy
01:12 Izzy: p e n i s
01:12 Anissa: ahhhh
01:12 Musing: lol
01:13 Izzy: when you look at a map, that little peninsula between the two bays looks like a little p e n i s
01:13 Anissa: I love it!
01:14 Izzy: and I'M ON IT BABY
01:14 Anissa: you're on the p e n i s of Tampa....why isn't that on our brochures?
01:15 Izzy: You'd think it would be a selling point
01:16 Izzy: lovely 3/2 near the now missing foreskin. conveniently located near good schools and balls
01:16 Musing : LOL
01:17 Anissa: ROFL
01:17 Anissa: THERE's your quote for the night

Fill-in-the-blank

"My husband has a rule. It should nevernevernever cost more than $20 to gas up an Escort. We sold the Escort. My husband can't stand breaking rules." ~The Thing Is...

Thanks to all who played the gas quote game!

This week there are a number of sayings about motherhood, so how 'bout some related fill-in-the-blank fun. No one told me that being a mom _______. What's your answer?

Quote game: gas

QUOTE GAME: Got some thoughts about prices at the pump? Use the word "gas" (and it must be as in fuel not as in fart!) in a comment. I'll share one or two next Monday.

Question game

The winner of last week's bloggy scavenger hunt is Sila-Lumenn! Congrats!! Thanks to all who participated! Enjoy this week's quotes then come back and play a question game.

I got the idea from Bleeding Espresso. I'll start by asking a question. The first commenter answers it then asks another question for the next commenter to answer who then asks another question and so on and so on and so on. Each comment should have an answer and a question.

You may play multiple times, you just can't answer your own question. And if any quips make me snort out loud, I'll share them next Monday.

Here's the first question:

Is Johnny Depp hotter with or without eyeliner?
