OK, so first off? For those of you who haven’t been paying attention.
It is not Wednesday. It is Sunday. I have moved the day on which I announce the Featured Bloggers.
Because I can, people. That’s why. It’s my blog.
Anyway . . .
This week, people?
I needed some funny.
And so with apologies to the many of you who sent me serious fabulous posts, I went with the funny this week. Your amazing serious posts? Still with me.
Still resonating.
Promise.
I just needed some funny this week.
You are going to love these people!
Kelly from KO’s talkin’
Kelly sent me this post, about a mis-flavored children’s medicine, and I giggled happily.
So I clicked on a few of her other posts.
Like this one, about wearing clogs to exercise.
And this one, about flying with small children.
And this one, about a child’s haircut.
People? I wish there was some way to insist that you go and read all of these posts. Kelly is that funny. That awesome. Even the way she arranges her words on the screen makes me smile.
Her posts are short little sparkly giggly gems.
Love that.
Karen from Queen of Murphy’s Universe
Karen wrote two posts about her memories of her mother at Thanksgiving.
Both of these posts are just amazing.
The first is a beautiful, touching, and poignant piece that may make you tear up a little.
But the second post, which is the one Karen sent me? Will make you snort with laughter
I swear.
If you do not snort? I do not even know where we go from here.
Really.
And these two posts taken together? Such an awesome and fabulous testament to a daughter’s love for her mother.
Happy sighs.
Christine from A Bit of Somthing
OK, as far as I can tell, Christine has only put up two posts so far.
Here, about dealing with a family emergency.
And here, about trying to be thankful on the day before Thanksgiving.
Christine is a brand new blogger.
I think Christine has an awesome voice, a unique sense of humor, and a gift for story-telling.
And I am all kinds of excited that I get to see what she does next.
Right from the very beginning.
Go and see.
She is going to be amazing.
Nigel from Origami Hour with Nigel Paresis
People? If you are not aware by now that I think Nigel is a fucking genius?
You have not been paying attention.
How could you have missed this spectacle right here?
Oh, and by the way? If you visit that spectacle? Stay to read the comments, because Nigel really outdid himself that day.
Swoon!
I have told you to visit Nigel on numerous occasions.
And now I tell you again.
Read this post right here, and see if that doesn’t make you want to somehow make Nigel live in your basement and write stuff for you to earn his food.
Ahem.
I love Nigel. I read every word he blogs and then I go knocking on his Twitter door and demand more of him. He is crazily addictive.
And if you like a bit of sexy with your Monday morning coffee?
You’ll see.
These bloggers will be linked on the right hand side of Pretty All True under Featured Bloggers.
For a week.
Until next Sunday.
Pay attention, people!
Snort!
I was wond’ring when Nigel would make the list. You love him, i can tell.
I do love Nigel.
And a secret? He didn’t actually send me a link.
He is too annoyingly cool to do that. Apparently.
But oh my god . . . I love every word that man writes.
Seriously.
So, I have a huge project at work that needs to done by tomorrow morning. I am struggling with it. So, instead, I have taken your suggestion and read all the links. Ok, all except Nigel. He is very awesome, it is just ’cause of the sexy thing and I don’t want to be reminded that sex is an option for other people right now. Another day. Anyway, at the end of the links you posted was pure gold. I even read the sad Thanksgiving one and cried. Yet, still good. Oh, and Christine? I cannot wait to read more stories about golf clubs to the head that interupt her reading time.
(this is so long, I will understand if you delete it)
Silly you.
No need for deleting.
And I am so glad you went and visited these fabulous writers.
The first Nigel link? Not that sexy.
The last link?
Way fucking sexy.
Seriously . . . fucking . . . sexy.
Ack!
I really don’t have time to be commentingright now, but here I am anyways. Great collection…most eclectic which I always like. From funny to poignant, you know how to pick them. As always, I am a big fan of yours and now I have added to my collection of people to read. When am I on? I can’t remember.
I am glad that you stopped by and commented even though you have no time to do so.
Love it when I am able to disrupt a person’s day!
Love that!
You are just loving me up right now because of the Deadly Horrible Evil Hard Drive Crash of 2010.
It is so hard to type through the tears.
Yes.
I have grown tired of you.
And now I feel sorry for you.
So I am playing at being nice until I can find a way to end this thing between us.
Yeah, that’s it.
Yes.
Ahem.
oooh! fun!
& i totally thought you left me up an extra three days just because you love me THAT MUCH.
so right now i am a bit sad.
i’ll get over it.
and glad to hear you are still alive after the wild snowstorm that blew through Portland! SNORT!!!!
The girls were so sad to only get a dusting of snow.
They are hopeful that actual blizzards descend upon us in the very near future.
Ack!
happy cheesy that you linked to that sorta kinda tête-à-tête between you and Nigel … I snorted and almost knocked over my tea laughing …
it was like being at the bar and the people at the table behind me are so involved in their convo that they don’t care that everyone else can hear them … they are so much more interesting than anything else in the bar, even the guy throwing darts in the snug levi’s that hug every curve just right and I sit, staring at the guys levi’s listening to the convo, lost in someone elses life, their funny, sexy, sarcastic moments … happy sigh to have that moment … I guess I should buy you a beer now, since all the entertainment was at your expense and I’ll have the giggles for the rest of the afternoon
OOHHHH!!! I had this thought nudging around trying to get through the hot guy eye candy in the bar to tell you that my brother told us about this guy that carried porn in his work truck tool box, the ones that mount (HAHA) onto the bed of the truck … he kept it locked up in there … don’t know how he watched it, maybe he used it to trade for better lunches?
Hee hee!
I debated including that link, as it is to one of my own posts. But Nigel fucked ROCKED that comments section. That was awesome.
Happy sighs.
And my porn cooler?
Is still far too empty.
Way annoying, man to whom I am married.
Way annoying.
I’d throw something in his general direction as a reminder
On it.
how was your aim
I always hit my Mark.
One day, I will remember to submit something, really.
Mmmmm hmmmm.
I love finding these new bloggers, through you.
Keep it up, peeps!!
Quality..quality will always be KING.
Thanks, you.
And by the way?
The Baby E post about grapes?
How I loved that.
It was perfect.
Damn you, now I have the makings of a Nigel obsession.
Welcome to the club.
We’re a lovely bunch.
Snort!
