I’M SAUCY AND GOT INVITED TO MERRIANNE’S PARTY

I’m so feeling James Brown right now, feverishly dancing and singing:

“Whoa-oa-oa! I feel good, I knew that I would, now I feel good, I knew that I would, now! So good, so good, I got you!”

No. I didn’t win the lottery, didn’t inherit a large sum of money and didn’t get a major job promotion. Remember, I’m the girl with simple joys: family, friends, books, shopping without going into debt, and a little recognition, baby!

This week I got some “recognition” from some popular chicks in bloggy land, and who doesn’t like bloggy love? Come’on! Admit it. It doesn’t matter how mature, cool, collected, snotty and classy you are way deep down you like it when you get invited to sit at the cool table at least once. Don’t ya? Okay, maybe I’m just a geek. But I’m a pretty happy geek right now, because some bloggy love came my way.

Bloggy Love #1

I got listed on the super blog-network Mormon Mommy Blogs. Thanks, Sue (Navel Gazing At It's Finest) and MotherBoard (Crazyland)!

Okay, so I got listed. What’s the big freakin’ deal? Don’t they list everybody? Well, yes. But it’s where they listed me that surprised me and gave me this dorky smile on my face. They listed me under this category: SAUCY MOMS. Ah-hah-hah! Hah-hah!

Okay, I didn’t really know how exactly to take that at first. I had a frowny, wrinkled brow wondering what that meant. Then I saw the other blogs listed with me, and Wooo-hooo! There’s Mother Goose! Seriously! The woman is like a Pacific Island goddess! Check out her blog and photos of her kids! I think she 's empress of some beauty /humor/prowess/talent gene pool. And then there's Merriane! Let me put it this way I would be the Elphaba to her Galinda if you've seen the musical "Wicked". If you haven't seen it then what I'm trying to say is that she is the Miss Popular and Miss Congeniality of Blogland. So with these 2 hermanas for company I'm not complaining one bit about being in the Saucy category.

But just to be sure I went to my dictionary/thesaurus and collected all the synonyms for “SAUCY” because now that I’m saucy I want to know exactly what that is. And according to my thesaurus it is:

arch (mischievous), audacious (spirited), bold, brash, brazen, cheeky, cocky, defiant, disrespectful, flippant, forward, fresh, impertinent, impudent, insolent, malapert (obnoxious and arrogant), pert (alert, naughty), rude, sassy, and smug, --- Ah, never mind, let’s include smug.

Then I asked the husband, "Am I saucy?"

Husband: "Oh, yes!"

Bloggy Love #2

An award from the one and only Merrianne! Yes, the same Merrianne I talked about above. Beautiful, fun, and super nutty Merrianne. She’s also a prolific blogger. The woman blogs everyday! Sometimes a couple times a day even. How awesome is that? I’m lucky if I come up with material to post 2x or more a week. Merrianne on the other hand is oozing with creativity and ideas. Going to her blog is like going to a party! And it seems all of blogland loves Merrianne. So getting this chickie-blog award from her is like being invited to the popular party. So thanks for the bloggy love, Merianne!

“Whoa-oa-oa! I feel good, I knew that I would, nowI feel good, I knew that I would, now! So good, so good, I got you!”
