Bling Whore!

My Thursday Thirteen is at the bottom.

Dang, I loves me some bling. And there are some FREAKIN’ AWESOME people out there, feeding my need for it.

Have I mentioned before that I am needy? That you must love me? No? Well, yeah.

*******

So first of all, the one that left me stammering, “I’m…n-n-Nice?”

Apparently the answer is, “Yes, yes I am.”

Some time ago (October 17th) Dawn was being all generous and gave me this award:

And I have to say it’s not often I get recognized for anything having to do with BEING NICE.

(Most of the time it’s my ultra anger and quick temper, sarcastic comments and snide remarks, or snarky attitude and violent tendencies that tend to get noticed. In a not good way.)

So, that’s special, and stuff. And it means I have her properly fooled. Perhaps it’s time to get her drunk and really take advantage of her tender feelings towards me? Hm.

I, in turn, am giving the lovely award/button-thingy to:
Amanda, because she is often nice when I couldn’t be,
Karleigh, because she considers it a blessing to know my family! Wow.
Anna, because she always leaves me such sweet comments.

Put these on your myspace blogs or pages or something, or I’ll hunt you down and rip off yer faces.
Oh, that wasn’t very nice, was it? Hm. Well, I already got the award, so HAHA!

*******

In what I can only liken to a drug-dealer feeding a first-timer his first several hits of coke, Veronica keeps giving me BUTTONS!

(Don’t stop, don’t stop… right in that vein, oh yeah….)

This one claims that I’m a Blogging Star. I always knew I was hot stuff!

Check out its shiny-goodness:

Oh, yeah, and this was on Veronica’s post about it, so I’ll put it here as well… don’t want anyone giving me death threats later for not following rules of some sort… or something like that.
The Blogging Star was created by Barb of Skittles’ Place, who says:
This award is for bloggers who shine their light throughout the Blogosphere. Some do it with humor, others with creativity, and others with their kind and thoughtful natures. We all know more than a few of them so why not give them some recognition?
Here’s what to do if you receive this:
* Proudly display it on your blog along with a link to who gave it to you.
* Mention that it originated here at Skittles’ Place so I can follow its journey.
* Pass it on to any blogger(s) you think should have it.

And I’d like to pass this one on to one of my very best friends, Sarah Porter, who has been blogging her freaking heart out since before I ever even knew her.

She started off on her Myspace blog, and now has a lovely blogsite, imaginary binky.

Her posts are funny, intelligent, and always entertaining. Go read her, subscribe to her feeds, and love on her with many comments, please.

*******

Also, apparently, I’m a “Treat!”

What? You didn’t know?

Well, I am. A Sweet, Yummy Treat. So there.

And here’s proof…

WorksForMom went and gave me some bling just for loving on her words.

Now, if I could just be covered in nuts… wait, let’s not finish that thought.

I’ve had so many great new commenters lately, and I freakin’ LOVE all of you, man.

But who’s been ‘treating’ me to LOTS of ego petting lately? The really special kind?

Well, Secret Agent Mama and Heidi Hyde are definitely getting this one.

SAM’s my self-appointed “Stalker McStalkerson” (you crack me up, woman) and HH claims to have a crush on me. Advertises it on her site! I couldn’t be happier.

This lovely piece of Happy, Smiley Bling was given to me by the always delightful Mom Chatter.

She recently posted her 100th post! Learn all about her by reading it.

I am going to be passing this bling on to Siobhan. She made me smile very, very largely by creating the group, “Really, Really Ridiculously Good Looking Bloggers,” on the NaBloYoHos website.

I officially love her all day and night for that.

For all of you out there who may also be really, really ridiculously good looking bloggers, please remember, “Just because we have chiseled abs and stunning features, it doesn’t mean that we too can’t not die in a freak gasoline fight accident.”

Words to live by.

This beautific bling was recently give to me by the Lovely Heidi Hyde.

Apparently, I’m freakin’ inspirational.

Who woulda thunk it?

Braden requested that I pass this Hootarific guy on to Amy, via Veronica, for inspiring him and all the other Revolutionaries out there to Deny Sleep! and adhere to The Plan.

*chuckle*

*******

I received this shiny award from Rhonda for being damn funny. Yes, I know it doesn’t say, “damn” anywhere on it. I’m taking creative license.

Thanks, Rhonda! It’s nice to know that nowadays, people aren’t just laughing AT me because I’m a stupid dork, but they are actually sometimes laughing WITH me!

You know who else is damn funny? Bill Gathen has been making me laugh my freaking ass off lately. This guy is hilarious, and his writing is witty and intelligent. Go forth and read him. Subscribe to his words and love them. You will be glad you did.

*******

Last, but most certainly not least, is an award that got me all teary eyed.

Dawn gave me this award on Saturday:

It truly made me feel great/honored/special. I felt my love for her reciprocated, and that’s always an awesome feeling, ya dig?

She’s been such a good friend to me already in the short time I’ve known her. She’s a blog friend who I believe has my back. She’ll answer my e-mails and stick with me if I’m worried about something (like my husband flying in possible ice/snow conditions, let’s say?) and make me feel better.

She gets stuff. You know? I *heart* her, lots.

Can I give this back to you, Dawn? Heh.

I guess not, but the person I would like to give this to is someone else who’s been supporting me ever since I left the HOLE that is the Myspace Blog and come out into the real blog world:

Veronica at Sleepless Nights

V-Ronnie, you have been a true friend to me! Giving me advice, honoring me with bloggy bling, linking me here, there, and everywhere, sending me e-mails, commenting me on this site AND A Braden A Day literally every post, making me laugh all the time, and giving my son a friend to raise cyber hell with.
