1,999 Bloggers + Me = 2,000 Bloggers

Sunday, January 21st, 2007

This morning I logged in to show y’all something nifty and was surprised to find that I have a buncha new incoming links here at AIS! The reason for all those incoming links is much nifty-er than what I was planning on writing about so I’ma tell you all about it instead :)

Don’tcha just love where the writing process can take you?

Anyway, this morning I found myself (or rather a 50×60 icon of me) smack dab in the middle of the latest project by Tino Buntic of The Blogger Links Benefactor! He is currently showcasing 2000 bloggers with small pictures of each blogger and a link to their site. I must have somehow signed myself up for this and don’t remember because it was a nice surprise to wake up to (some days being blonde and forgetful has it’s perks)!

2000 Bloggers

Can you see me now? Good. ;)

Anyone who has a blog and has an honest-to-pete picture of themselves on their blog can go join the fun. Just head on over his site and post in the comments with a link to your site and he’ll getcha added to the pretty damn big pile-o-bloggers he has going :)

I hope everyone is having a spiffy weekend!

My Cheek, She is Burning

Saturday, January 20th, 2007

I’ve been bitch-slapped by a quote people. How you ask? Well, part of my New Years Resolution was to do a full-scale overhaul on every single aspect of my life. I sat down with a pad of paper and made a long ass list of everything I’d like to improve or revamp this year and then sublists of what I need to do to make the main goals really happen.

Needless to say after I finished writing I sat back and looked at the mass accumulation of lists and thought in a total panic:

“Where the fuck am I going to find time to do all this?!?!”

I got my answer yesterday in the form of this quote:

“Don’t say you don’t have enough time. You have exactly the same number of hours per day that were given to Helen Keller, Pasteur, Michaelangelo, Mother Teresa, Leonardo da Vinci, Thomas Jefferson, and Albert Einstein.”

–H. Jackson Brown, Jr., writer

Pretty freakin’ humbling eh? And I thought I was a busy bitch…pfffbt. I’ve totally been put in my place.

Be honest now, do you find yourself needing this particular bitch-slap?

Bug x 5 = Meme

Friday, January 19th, 2007

I got fucking tagged people. Yaknow how long it’s been since I was last tagged?

Me either.

Anyway, Marko wants me to tell you 5 things you didn’t know about me. This could be kinda hard because I’m pretty open with you but I’ll give it a shot.

1. I go through soda-pop phases. I’ll drink nothing but a particular kind of pop for awhile then just switch to something else exclusively. Right now I’m at the tail end of a Code Red binge and moving into a Regular Mt. Dew.

2. Goodnight Moon is one of my favorite children’s books of all time.

3. I think people who hate bloggers are fucking dumb. And yes that’s the “best I could come up with” because I’m not waisting a good insult on a total dumb ass.

4. I hate snow.

5. When I write with a pen it’s sloppy, but with a pencil it comes out neat.

There we go! Now I’m tagging everyone who wants to do this *whee* Lemme know in the comments if you do :)

Thursday Thirteen #11

Thursday, January 18th, 2007

Better late than never right? Right! So let’s get this dog n’ pony show on the road!!!

Thirteen Things about Buggie

1. I’d like to thank every single person that de-lurked last week! Each of you have awesome blogs and I’m totally stoked to have met you!

2. My cousin has flown all the way from the East Coast to my neck of the woods and we’re going to do some good ol’ fashioned Arizona-y tourist shit this weekend! I’m really excited :)

3. Loki loves to sit on my shoulder or wrapped around my neck. I don’t know why but if I’m in this office chair you can bet she’s chillin’ parrot style with me.

4. See:
Loki n' Bug

5. No idea why but my left eye will not stop watering at all…very annoying and it’s not allergies.

6. I am a “To-Do List” whore. If I can make a list about it you can bet your sweet booty I’ll have one whipped up in no time. I’ve actually caught myself making lists of the lists I have.

7. Random people who walk up to me in public and strike up a conversation are awesome.

8. Unless they are crack heads.

9. I made my invitations for the PartyLite party today…they are the most fantastic things on the planet. If you’re lucky you just might get one in the mail ;)

10. The Hotness’s daughter Missy is getting ready to have a wee lil’ baby! I’m wicked excited about this…unless it cries a lot. Then I’ll just hide.

11. I’ve come to the conclusion that tax time sucks balls. Anyone who would like to jump on the wagon and help me sort out the books will get not just one — but two peanut butter cookies in return!

12. Tomorrow I will pay all the bills on my desk. That will leave me with about $17.00 until more checks come in. Feel free to send me money if you have any extra ;)

13. Would someone please tell me what the big fucking deal is about the iPhone? They could put the letter “i” in front of ANYTHING and people would lay out serious cash to be hip. iAvocado. iDisinfectant Spray. iDouche-bag.

Do Any of You Actually Read Titles?

Happy Hump Day Dudes! I had meant to post about all the yummy goodness of Saturday and Sunday but we’re right smack dab in the middle of getting W-9’s together for all the employees so it’s been a bit nuts around here. That had to be the most run-on-est sentence ever *chuckle* Anywhoot, here’s a couple tidbits of the weekend :)

On Saturday night Maria and I went to our neighbors Party Light Party and I got suckered into hosting a party in February (I really shouldn’t drink at these events). So, if any of you want to buy freakin’ candles from me email me at {bug AT thelastcowgirls DOT com} and I’ll figure out a way to get a catalog to ya :)

For the dudes reading: A Party Light Party is basically just a big candle selling party where the women drink too much and spend obscene amounts of money on chunks of wax. There are no pillow fights, jello-wrestling or group showers. Sorry.

Moving on!

My Grandma turned 75 years old on Sunday!! Can you believe that shit? Three quarters of a century is a helluva haul in my opinion *chuckle* So our whole family threw her a surprise birthday party since she’s never had an actual birthday party in her life. Here’s a couple snapshots from the par-tay:

Grandma and her Very First Bday Cake!

My New Fave Pic!! Me and My Second Cousin Caleb
(And yes I am wearing makeup so don’t hate.)

So that was the big day :) I’d better get my ass back to crunching numbers…I’ma be damn glad when this is over. *sigh* See y’all later!
