About
Since the “About Me” portion is getting more hits than my actual blog, I may as well not waste an opportunity. I am a snake-keeping, thrift-store loving mother of three. I work as an educator in a zoo and do a bit of free-lance writing. My pet peeves include wet clothing buried in the hamper and little popcorn kernels that get stuck in my teeth. Most days, I have the attention span of a gnat.
I am owned by a PBGV (that’s a wire-haired basset, if you’re not down with dog lingo) who spends an annoying percentage of the time thinking she has puppies, and several cats who would eat them if she did.
My greatest accomplishment is conquering my fear of my pressure cooker. My new biggest fear is that my butt will always be this big.
My goal is a blog a day for a year. Hope you hang in there with me. Comments are welcome.
Please take my thoughts with a grain of salt. I recommend kosher non-iodized.

Well evidently great minds think alike because here’s your second VBA!! Details are in my post at http://wp.me/p1EiAO-cf
Following the award guidelines, the post includes the other nominees that I feel are a must read and a little bit about their blogs. At the end of the post are the instructions for picking up your award and a graphic suitable for framing, if you have a teeny tiny frame. I’ve also updated my blogroll with your blog.
Note: As an extra bonus, there’s a picture of me in the post when I was a Catholic Altar Boy. It’s a convenient wallet sized photo ready to print and carry as a constant reminder of how life can go oh so horribly wrong.

Hey, you are seriously funny. Just wanted to pop over and say thanks for stopping by my blog. I read the piece about your older sister and what a thoughtful younger sister you’ve been to her throughout the years. Sweet:). We celebrated my older sister’s birthday at our house last weekend, when we lit the crowd of candles gathered on her tall cake it was like we were preparing to launch her into space or something. She looked happy though. Sisters are awesome.

I want to start by saying . . . if you’d rather not participate, I totally understand. I have declined in the past myself. It is kind of a pain in the arse. That said.
I’m awarding you the Versatile Blogger Award because I like your blog and think others will too. As with everything in life, there are strings attached. 1) You are to give the award to 15 other bloggers you feel are deserving and notify them of the award. 2) Make a post thanking the person that gave you the award (moi’) and listing your 15 choices. Provide links to these 16 blogs in your post. 3) Lastly, in your post, list seven things the bloggy world doesn’t know about you.
I dont know how to link the graphic for your blog. Maybe you can save it from mine? Or tell me how to link it haha
Personally, I had trouble with it, so feel free to contact me if you need help.
The bottom line . . . whether you participate or not . . . I think you have a rockin’ blog.

Oh my gosh! So funny. My daughter says she has ADOS. Attention Deficit ooo shiny … Yeah, I can relate. We used to have potluck dinners on Wednesdays at church and, since mother was a prolific gardener and we grew a bajillion green beans to can each summer, she would always take green beans to church suppers. Invariably, she hopped into the shower after beginning the process. “Honey, watch that pressure cooker for me.”
And then, I was on my own.
Watch it for what?
One day, I discovered the reason: green bean hell.
Valid fear and hilarious “about” post.

But enough talk about you… let’s talk about me! You gave me quite a scare earlier when you were the very first person to ever comment on one of my posts. Yes, you were my first, and I’ll never forget you… Especially after I get this e-mail headed with “Please moderate: “BAD MOOD ON THE RISE!”. I’m thinking that WordPress doesn’t like the content in my post and wants me to tone it down, and I’m also thinking that this is going to be a very short relationship! (no, I’m not paranoid – all my delusions are based on true stories.)
But it was just you… giving me some friendly advice, and making me aware of your previously unknown existence. Thanks!

It’s in this spirit that I seek out the blogosphere for relief and am drawn to the cute kitty on the Freshly Pressed section. I am rewarded as your birthday post is INSANELY funny, as were the several others that I read, and now I can’t stop laughing. THANK YOU! Crisis averted.

I was wondering if you might help me out…El Guapo and Edward Hotspur gave me quite a bad time the other day, and I thought it might be fun if some of us bloggers who frequently see their sites would mention “conspiracy” or some form of the word in any comment we make on their blog tomorrow. The idea is to get them thinking that it is weird that so many people are talking about conspiracies…but we should still be subtle enough that they won’t figure out there really is a conspiracy to quickly.

Thank you for liking my blog on idiotisms. How can words go so wrong? I’ve been following you too and I especially liked the pictures of the turtles.

This is such a wonderful blog! It was my dream to be a zoo-keeper since I was a child. When 17, I spent a month volunteering at Zoo Negara, the national zoo of Malaysia while exploring the country and it is one of my most treasured experiences.

I just came across your blog, very entertaining! I am going for a post a week, and that sometimes seems rough, I am too new to blogging to even imagine a post a week! Way to go and good luck with it. I will keep myself updated.

After awhile, I got into a groove. Sometimes I write ahead of time and set it to post automatically, and sometimes I’m sitting at 8am wondering what to post at 9! Good luck!
