And in other news...

No, I'm not going to talk about the economy or the upcoming election. I leave those things for the "real" news.

I'm actually referring to bloggy news.

There are a few very important matters I've had tabled. So picture me now, next to Charlie Gibson at the news desk, my make-up (what's that?) caked on thick and the horrible lighting blaring into my eyes.

How do I look?

I don't know why they have bricks behind their news desk, but let's just roll with it.

This is what I will do when Charlie says something funny.

And then I would get fired for having such an unsightly large mouth.


Anyway, back to the important stuff.

I won a giveaway! It was hard work too-I had to leave a comment! Well, okay. I've actually won TWO giveaways, but I'm going to wait to mention the second prize until I have it in my hot little hands. The first giveaway was won over on Mom Most Traveled. I won a CD from Sugar Mountain, African Dreamland. It's GOOD stuff.

Over two years ago, I got African Dreamland from the library and we loved it, listening to it in the car every chance we got and then...I lost it. I had to pay the library. So I think God smiled on me with this particular win, and now I get to keep this cool CD forever!

(see, I'm good with news-worthy witty banter. Charlie is currently wide-open-mouth laughing along with me. Which is kind of annoying since he's taking the spotlight off of me a bit.)

In other bloggy news. I would like you all to take a look at the little inserted screen over here on the right sidebar. It is a display of an addiction brought to me by Mary. I cannot stop trying to beat myself at typing. I dare you all to try it and see if you can stop. I guess if you aren't good with typing, you'll think it's a dumb game. But if you pride yourself on magnificent typing skills like mine, you might spend the whole day typing random words as fast as you can in 60 seconds. Good luck!

(If you haven't noticed, I'm also playing another game with myself. It's called, How Many Times Can You Link to Mary. I think I'm on four now. Keep track with me. Her hilarity makes it impossible to stop linking to her.)

(Charlie says something funny about how he too loves Mary. I just wish he would stop interrupting. I'm on a roll.)

And in other news, I am grateful and excited to see all the posts that are linked up to Mr.Linky on this post. Thank you to each of you who made your own list of things you're doing well as a mom! I hope it felt good and was a reminder to focus a bit more on the positive. If you'd still like to make your list, feel free. Like I said, there's no deadline. I have too many of those here at the news desk.

I was also tagged for a meme. But I bucked the system and didn't do it since I had just done it recently. So take that TM!!! Ha ha ha ha (see above photo) Ha ha ha ha.... Yes, I had already done it, and also I've been really busy racing myself at typing.

And now for the weather...Al?

beep beep beep beeeeeeeeeeep: This just in. I will be attending a bloggy get-together this Saturday with a number of totally famous bloggers. Or really good bloggers anyway. Ones that live near me. Hence the invitation for me to join. I doubt it was because of my ties to Charlie Gibson, but I guess that could be it too. I can't wait to meet these lovely women and then blog about it. More to come...
