Aw Hell - Just Shoot Me Already (& Boobie Link Winners)
WTF? I have laryngitis. I ache all over from whatever crud Mr. Hot decided to infect me with and (just for good measure!) I started my period today. The world, my friends, is a cruel, cruel place. There is just something so totally freakin’ wrong with this. So, I am taking my first sick day since 1999 (January 4, 1999 to be specific - and even then, I wasn’t sick - it was a snow day and my turn to stay home with Shortman!).
I’m sitting here in the “office/computer room/Shortman’s alternate pig sty”…
Proof of sty-ness - a la Bossy
… I’m not good at being “in bed sick”. Mr. Hot keeps telling me to stay there. But, he went out to Home Depot to get wood to put a “floor” in the “barn” (which really means, to lay some plywood over the dirt in the storage shed that is painted red and shaped like something to keep animals in) so I am being a bad little patient and blogging.
But hey! I had to announce the winners of the Save the Boobies contest. [pretend trumpet sounds here]
The winners were drawn by Shortman and the results of this drawing were reviewed by Mr. Hot in accordance with all laws of randomness and blind hand-into-the-hat selection. If I could afford to have Price/Waterhouse/Coopers or whoever it is that oversees the Academy Awards come in and make sure it was all on the up and up, I could have awarded bigger prizes.
Necklace - Marianne at My Left NerveBaseball Cap - Phil at Outta My Mind in Mechanicsburg
Purse Key Holder - Shelly at Not The Daddy
Congratulations Winners! And thanks to everyone who participated. The final tally is $85 to the Susan G. Komen foundation from the Hotfessional family. I’m going to go ahead and up it to $100 (I like even numbers) - on behalf of WhyMommy and LawMom.
—- Now, shhhhh! I hear the truck pulling up the driveway. I’m going back to lay down. Don’t tell him I was here. —-

Oh, yuck. I hope you are feeling better soon. SLEEP!
So nice to see other teenage boys have “pigsty” rooms!!
Stay in bed so you can get better!!!
The sad thing is, my 30 year old boyfriend would totally pull that dirty socks move, too! Do they ever grow up?
Yes! I won!!! How do I collect my fabulous prize?
And I hope you feel better very, very soon!
Your secret is safe…. now go get some sleep……
Shelly - email me at reereep[at]gmail[dot]com so I can get your address!
Yup, I get really tired of the abandoned socks, myself. They’re everywhere.
If you’re going to cheat and “convalesce” at the computer, you might as well do some shopping. Such as, for red shoes. I’m sure those would speed your recovery.
Aww, hope you feel better soon! At least shortman keeps his dirty socks out in the open, Miss Chica shovers her between the cusions of the couch!
Eeep! Feel better soon!
Congratulations to the winners!
Socks and a bottle cap … yeah, right, real pig ya got there!
If Shortman was Shortwoman, you would know what a pig sty was. Girls are way more messy.
jen on the edge is TOTALLY right.
I have red tent week, a baby who apparently has a gallon of snot in his little baby head and hubs and I are apparently getting it too. Oh joys. I feel your pain.
You poor thing! Laryngitis sucks. And my 20 year old brother amazes me with the crap he leaves lying around wherever he goes.
You’re my official booby-saving hero, Ree. xo
Cool, congrats, y’all!
Sorry I’m so late coming back around, you know how Devil’s Week can be when you are busy raising satan’s spawn. It’s all work work work work.
