I'd Like to Thank the Academy...

In the time without a router at home, I was shirking my reading. I had lovely, lovely blogs bookmarked on my laptop, but couldn't access them on Ed's machine. In the past few days, I've been making the rounds and catching up on a month of reading per blog.

Imagine my surprise when I go over to Underpaid Princess's and find this waiting for me:



How cool is that? I enjoy reading her blog, because I understand the venting she does. She's also got a great sense of humor. Heck, I started my blog to vent my frustrations and keep in touch with a handful of you. Who knew that a couple of years later, I'd get a nice award from a bloggy friend and have a lot more of you along for the ride?

Thanks!

Oh, I'm supposed to tag some of you. Trust me, this isn't easy-there's a wealth of distinctive blogs out there, but I'll say:

Wandering Saffa Chick (who should be home from her honeymoon and telling us about married life by now!)
Functional Schmunctional (Grandy is so good at making me laugh)
Imaginary Binky (Sarah is the sister that Giggles and I should have had, lol. She's so funny and smart and has the world's cutest baby boy)
Mandyland (I go through serious Mandy withdrawal when she travels-I need sarcasm! Oh and her pop culture stuff so I look like I know about the cool shows.)
Daysgoby (Jessica, I love seeing those great pictures!)
The Mommy Project (yet another fantastic photographer! Just look at those happy girls in the masthead!)

Off I go to share the news, then back to Underpaid Princess's blog to catch up some more!

Why thank you! I've been lagging in my reading as well. I'll be sure to put this up and pass it along ASAP! ; P

Thank you! My sarcasm meter has been low lately, probably in proximity to my self-induced abstinence from martinis. And wine. And chocolate I? Am not a happy dieter. But thanks a bunch for the shout out!

Shanny, I love seeing those adorable girls and reading, because you're so real.

Jess, you're quite welcome. Someday, I'm going to get up there and see your beautiful country again.

Mandy, I tried some Zone bars yesterday at the evil Wal Mart. Might be a good chocolate fix for ya.

Sarah, now if you start going all Britney on me, I might have to change my mind! ;)

Oh wow! What a lovely present to find waiting for me on my return home! I've been in serious blog withdrawal for nearly a month with the wedding and honeymoon, and I look forward to catching up on everyone's news ;-)...

Wal Mart Your Zone $500.00 Gift Card Contest!

Image
Note to new visitors-this contest has ended. Thank you. For several months now, I have participated in WalMart 's Beyond Eleven Moms, a collective of bloggers who partner with WalMart to give feedback on products already in stores and ideas about products that the company can offer in their stores. Last month, I was approached to help test out a new product line in the stores. Many retailers offer room decor for youngsters and college students, but affordable furniture, bedding and decor for teens was hard to find. Enter Your Zone ! We were sent a $500.00 WalMart gift card and given a mission: redo a bedroom whatever way you like within that amount for your teen. If you asked me to do it anywhere else, I think I could buy a bed and a dresser and be done. The whole point of Your Zone is that your teen can change things without breaking the bank. First up, let's find a bed! The beds the boys have are the bunk beds we bought at Ikea back when Chef graduated out of a crib. ...

Webmaster Alex speaks Anonymously

**Please note, this post was written in 2008, over 7 years ago.  This is not current, but remains to detail the DISboards bannings.** The other day, I wrote of my banning from the Disboards, a site I belonged to for six years. I was banned for participating in another site, as were approximately 35 others. The list will be posted further in this entry. If you skip this post because it doesn't mean anything except to the participants, I don't mind. This is mainly out there for the hundreds (over 7,500 now!**) of Google searches that have been directed to my blog since the bannings. Lord knows, anytime anyone asks a question on the Disboards, it'll be poofed faster than you can say "delete." Curiously, I received an anonymous comment that rambled on and on. It rather reminded me of Socrates, my older brother who has delusions of grandeur. When I first read the comment, I thought, "Oh goody, a moderator has come to call me a bully." Wanna re...

Glad that I'm not "Guilty By Association" on this one

I thought I was done with the DISboards stuff, really I did. However, the hypocricy and racism displayed by Webmaster Pete and others on a memorial show is deplorable. Sadly, all it does is show that the man who died is the only one who has some scruples among the staff. I'm awaiting some You Tube links to the entire unedited podcast and then an edited link to just the racism portion. In the meantime, I'm posting the transcript of the 'tribute' to Bob. These were transcribed by a former DISer for me. Thanks. ************************************************************************************* Here is a link to the DIS' podcast page : http://www.wdwinfo.com/disney-podcast/ (note, the podcast in question has been removed from the web. It was on YouTube for a couple of days and viewed about 1000 times before being shut down) The following is a transcribed portion of the show that was especially upsetting to many. It began around the 1 hour & 3 ...
