Tuesday Tidbits-Janary 26, 2010

Dear Mr. Microwave,

I'm seriously disappointed in you, dude. Wimping out on me like that! Now how am I going to heat up leftovers, make Munchie's oatmeal, and reheat my tea/coffee? Leaving me hanging like that was not cool and has definitely crimped my style. I am now forced to actually turn on the burner or run into the arms of my toaster oven for our breakfasts and lunches. How could you? We've been together for so long. Well, I'll have you know that I've found another. He'll arrive later in the week at which point I'm sending you packing.

Oh, just so you'll know, my new microwave is strong, dark and quite handsome. He'll fit in just fine. You'll see.

No longer yours,

Mrs. Sister

Dear Daisy,

Houses weren't meant to be climbed. Just sayin'.

Your surrogate mommy,

Mama 5th

P.S. Silly dog. It's just rain. Hurry up and go pee! For a formerly outdoor dog you sure have become pretty wimpy.

Dear Madam Freezer,

What's your problem? Did we do something to make you mad? Yes, we had to let your friend, Mr. Microwave, go but why on earth would you pop open your door, exposing your innards and allow ALL of our food to defrost in retaliation? This is such a financial blow to the food budget. Which means that your belly won't get full anytime soon. You only hurt yourself. And you better watch it, missy, or you'll be next to go.

With frosty regards,

Mrs. Sister

My blogging friend, Kimberly, at Terra Del Sol, is having a very unique giveaway. She is giving away art. Yes, actual art. You see, she's a collector and is willing to share a work of art with one of her faithful followers. So head on over and check her out. Follow her for a chance to win. What are you waiting for? Go. I'll be here when you get back.

An old high school friend of mine has begun a new blog. To help him get started I thought I'd give him a shout out. I would like to formerly introduce you to Jim Hawley of It's Either This or Go Crazy. Let's all give him a nice welcome to the blogosphere. Jim is a unique character: an intellectual, a self professed liberal (but don't hold that against him), an ordained minister, a scholar, a member of the academe, silly and irreverent at times,  and just an all around nice guy. Or as he succinctly puts it, "A pastor/literary critic/musing guy ruminating on the ambiguities of life..." Go on and pay him a visit!

Awards Update

Thank you, Lee, from Headaches, Hotflashes and Hormones, and Kimberly of Tera Del Sole for the sweet Sugar Doll award.

Oh and Kayla from Bashful Toast thinks I deserve the Happy 101 recognition.

And, finally, Weezer, of Weezer's Haven, handed out the A Lovely Blog award to all of her followers.

Thanks, dear friends. These awards mean so very much to me and I'm glad you felt enough of me to pass them along.

That's all of the "tidbits" I have for you today. Come back tomorrow to see what prose I have come up with for the weekly Silly Haiku Wednesday meme. It was a collaborative effort, this time, and one I think you all will appreciate. Until then, have a terrific Tuesday!
