Top 3 Things Thursday

It's Thursday! It's Thursday!  Man I need some caffeine. 

So, it's that wonderful time of the week when the lovely ladies at Confessions from a Working Mom and The (Un)Expected Mom host this fun blog carnival called:



And today's question is:

If you could be a character in any movie, not the actor or actress but the character, who would it be and which movie?

3.  Aughra from The Dark Crystal

Don't be hatin.  She's awesome! 
She's only got one eyeball that she can totes pop out and look around,
 she held the shards to heal the Crystal, she grunts when she talks...
you gotta love her! 

And if you've never watched The Dark Crystal, we might have to break up.  I'm just sayin.
Booshay booshay booshay**

2.  Velma from Scooby Doo

I could only dream of having crime solving abilities like that stylin orangy gal, Velma.

Seriously, she was the brains of the operation. 

And...I kind of look like her.

1.  Janice from The Muppets

She's my faaaaave.

And we're totally alike.

Except I'm not thin and blond.

Or play the guitar.

And I open my eyes.  A lot. 

Ok, folks.  Your turn.  Which three characters would you choose to be? 

** Totally just used a Dark Crystal reference, which if you were cool, you would know that.

Top 3 Things Thursday

It's Thursday.  And that only means one thing.  Actually it means a couple of things like Friday is around the corner and The Office is on tonight and it's time yet again to wash some underwears. 

But the one thing I mean has nothing to do with underwears.

I'm talking about:

 
Put on by the wonderful ladies at Confessions from a Working Mom and The (Un)Expected Mom.  And today's question is:

Who are your Top 3 "guilty" celebrity crushes?

3.  Tom Welling

You might know him better as Clark. 
I had to wade through eleventy billion pics of Tommy for one of him smiling.

I must say, I do like his teeth. 

And why is this a guilty crush, you ask? 

He's married.  And I'd like to hire him to rub my feet.

2.  Legolas

Mmm, Legolas. 

Why is this guilty?  Well, he's an Elf.  And I'm Eskimo. 

Our babies would be weirdos.  But weirdos with crazy awesome archery skills.

1.  The Verizon Guy

So I have a crush on this guy.

Yes, it's weird.

And my service is with AT&T. 

This is like the Coke girl crushing on the Pepsi guy.

Guilty.

***Disclaimer

I think my Hubs is way hotter than any of these celebrities.  From his Calvin Klein blue jean days to his current furry beard days, he's so hot he's on fiyah!!

Top 3 Things Thursday

Yay!  It's that time again!  And what time is that, you ask?

No no, not shower time.

And no!  It's not eyebrow plucking time either, I'll get to that!  Sheesh.

It's Top Three Things Thursday, brought to you by Confessions From a Working Mom and The (Un)Experienced Mom!

*cue trumpets*




And today's question is... *cue drumroll*

What are your Top 3 quirks?

Let me see...*taps chin thoughtfully*

1.  I pop pimples.  I do.  Don't even act like you don't. 

2.  I pop my knuckles.  And my neck.  And my back.  And pretty much whatever else can be popped. 

aaaannndddd

3.  I tap the top of my soda cans before popping them open.  I don't know when I started this, but I must do it.  It's a strange OCDish thing.  Also, now I reallllyyy want a Diet Coke.

And there you have it, folks!  My top three quirks. 

If you feel like playing along with this blog carnival, drop your link to your Top Three on Confessions From a Working Mom's MacLinky Thingamabob.

And if you're blogless, the question remains:

What are YOUR Top 3 Quirks?

Top 3 Things Thursday

Yay!  It's Thursday! 

So, today I'm wearing a skirt.  And if the looks on my family's faces are any indication, I apparently am looking pretty hot.  Or like I'm going to a funeral.  Whichever.





So it's Top Three Thursday, put on the by the amazing Confessions From a Working Mom and The (Un)Experienced Mom and today's question is:

What are your top 3 favorite things about being a parent?

Where to begin?

3.  I have to mention times like this.  I know, I know, I'm putting a link to a whole nuther post in, but it's worth it.  I promise.  It's a conversation about a bra started by this little girl:

2.  Watching them in the world.  They already have such magnetic personalities.  Even horses love them.

1.  I love watching them play.  They, like most sisters, are the best of friends and worst of enemies.  But when they feel like having fun...

...our hearts swell up.

So, fair reader, if you have children, what are your favorite things about being a parent?

Top 3 Things Thursday

It's that time again!!!  It's Thursday!!!  And that means...




Can I get a woot woot?  This is Top 3 Thursday, brought to you by the fine ladies at Confessions from a Working Mom and The (Un)Experienced Mom. 

And today's question is...

What are your top 3 favorite things about spring?

1.  Daisies. 

Seriously, is there a happier flower?  I think not. 

I adore all flowers.  I can't grow them to save my life, but it only makes me appreciate when other people grow them.  Especially daaaaiiiissssiiieeesssss.

2.  The Sun

There's this great thing called The Sun.  Have you heard of it?  Yeah.  It's nice. It warms the bones.  It makes daisies and other weeds grow.  It's niiiice.  Around July I think it tends to get kind of full of itself and needs to tone it down a bit.  But otherwise, I'm a huge fan of the sun.  It should start coming out and doing it's warming up thingy round these here parts in the next few weeks.  *rubbing my hands in anticipation*

And lastly...

3.  Geocaching

"Eh?" you say?  Well, let me explain. 

See, Geocaching is like a global treasure hunt.  You use a GPS to find treasures that are logged in to the main website and it's up to you to find them.  Often there are little log books or tiny wee scrolls to sign your name or initials, sometimes you trade a treasure that's inside a tube for a treasure of your own. 

And it is so.much.fun.  My kids adore it.  We didn't discover geocaching until late fall and then winter came and did her "I'll make it so cold all you want is a Snuggie" thingy and the very last thing we wanted to do was traipse through the wilderness or the Dollar General parking lot hunting for a hidden two inch tube.  So, for our family, spring means the rebirth of The Hunt for Hidden Things called Geocaching. 

And so, fair reader, what are your favorite things about Spring?  Also, if you chose to do a post on this, don't forget to link up with the McLinky thingy on Confessions from a Working Mom's post!!

It's Thursday! and other important messages from Captain Obvious

Hi!  It's me!  Today I don't look like me, I'm more reminiscent of a headless chicken, but I assure you, aside from the spurting blood and wayward feathers, it is me.

I'm uber busy today.  But I had to take a sanity break before blue pens found their way into the eyeballs of innocent passersby who I'm most certain would question why the need for blue ink in the legal world?  To which I would calmly shrug and say "Weird, I know, right?" and go about my day. 

So during my brief and much needed sanity break from the Chaotic and Complicated Business of The Law, it's time for:

and today's question brought to you by the fine ladies at Confessions From a Working Mom and The (Un)Experienced Mom is...

What are the Top 3 reasons why you blog?

Excellent question.  Let me think...*taps cheek thoughtfully*

3.  Sanity.  I've already used this word.  Three times.  Count if you don't believe me.  Sanity.  Now that's four.  Sanity sanity sanity sanity sanity sanity.  What number am I at now, huh?  ...maybe the sanity thing isn't working. 

I love blogging because, like any other normal (haha normal, me, normal hahaahahaah) persony figure, I've got all kinds of words and thoughts and junk just sort of roaming around my head like fireflies (don't you hate that song?) on a hot summer night.  They need to be released from the trap that is my mind else there will be firefly poop everywhere.  And everyone knows what they say about firefly poop. 

...actually I don't know what they say about firefly poop.

2.  Learning to write.  Yes, I am one of the myriads of blogger people who want to make it as a writer.  When I started this humble journey two years ago, it was on what is now the social outcast known as Myspace.  And it was fun, churning out crap like my Ode to Laundry and writing about the first time I used a lawnmower. And amazingly, people were saying things like "you should be a writer!".  All three of them.  I know.  I was so overwhelmed.  And so what if one of them was my mom.  Shut up.  She's got good taste, all right?  *deep breath, calming down*  So I thunk to myself one day, you know, I should just start up a blog as an experiment, just so learn how to write. 

And that's what I did.  So I write and learn.  Rinse and repeat. 

1.  I know I should say something about friendships, because it's completely obvious that I'm a total copycat and that's what everyone else is going to say.  BUT I'M NOT.  HAHA.  GOT YOU.

The comments. 

Seriously.  This is so true:

So.true.

I know I'm supposed to say really zen-like stuff like I only write for me and don't need to know if people are reading yada yada blah blah but you know what?  Apart from the stylish word zen, that's really just a pile of crap.  Because I love comments.  I love to read what you think.  If you laugh.  If you sniffle.  If you are grossed out.  If you also love Janice the Muppet.  I love getting to know you fine readers through your comments.  And I'm trying super hard to comment back, so you can feel the lurve. 

Thank you Confessions and (Un)Experienced for this!  And if you want to grab the button and play along, be sure to link up your post with theirs!

Happy Thursday.

Meow, and Top Three Thursday

Just give me a bowl of milk and some catnip, because I am one big fat copycat.  This is Top Three Thursday, where every Thursday the fine ladies at Confessions of a Working Mom, The (Un)Experienced Mom and Much More Than Mommy are listing their Top Three.  And now I'm joining in the fun, too!  Meow.

Today's question is:

What are your top 3 favorite TV shows?

This is a toughie.  I've already talked about my love for LOST here and here.  But I want to talk about some other TV shows, just for something new.  So here goes...

Glee.  So much fun!  If you like musicals and dancing and teenage angst and that sort of thing.  Also, it's my goal in life to be doing something ultra boring and menial and to just ... burst into song!  Maybe one day at Walmart I shall do this whilst choosing a tartar control toothpaste.  You never know, I could be the next person on youtube.   

The Office.  Oh how I love The Office.  If you've not yet jumped on this bandwagon, you ought to be slapped a little.  Just a little.  And if you're an anglophile like me, you soooo need to check out the BBC version of The Office.  Oh how I heart Ricky Gervais.

and finally...

Community.  Seriously, my favorite show on TV.  And why couldn't my college experience be this much fun?  Probably because it wasn't a community college and probably because I wasn't on a TV show.  Alas.

So there you have it!

I must go curl up and purr now.
