Look, Shiny! Secrets Revealed



Most bloggers know about the blog awards hopping around. Well, not too long ago, I got a Versatile Blogger Award (Thank you to Romy Gemmell Check her out. She's great!). I’ve been so busy getting my house ready to sell that I had to put them aside. So even though it’s been a bit since my blogging friend hooked me up, I wanted to give her a shout out and participate. If the Versatile Blogger Award is like the Stylish variety, then I’m supposed to tell about myself—seven things. I guess I’ll just fill in the blanks where I left off from my blog award Stylin’ and Profilin’ where I revealed seven things you may not know. Here's the new:
1.    After dodging the zombies and hooking up with Charlie Sheen and WINNING, I met the love of my life. Who wouldn’t love this fella. Tall, reddish hair, brooding, and gor-ge-ous! I knew I had to meet him, and thankfully, my clumsy ol’ feet made it easy. I stumbled into my love on my way into my new school and felt heat rush through me. Not from him, he was colder than a vanilla pudding pop and just as pale.

2.    My new man and I were going strong except he wouldn’t give it up to me, and lordy, lordy I wanted it. I couldn’t control myself around him. He was too damn perfect for me to follow his no touchy rule. Soon, I hooked up with a new pal of mine because he was lookin’ good too, and I was a silly teenager who eats a crazy amount of scrambled eggs. It was weird ‘cause my buddy was so hot to the touch and always wandered around without his shirt on, but when you gots a bazillion abs who wouldn’t.

3.     It’s really weird what happened next ‘cause I’m such a whiny girl and I can’t fathom how anyone could or would fall for me, let alone two men—well, one man (sort of) and one . . . uh, canine-like guy. So they were growling and flashing their teeth for me while I found more trouble, hurt myself some more, ate more eggs, said stupid stuff, and whined a lot. Who wouldn’t love me, right? (insert doe eyed look here)

4.    As much as I liked having two hotties chasing after me, I couldn’t choose between them. Who could? I knew I needed help. I needed the one person who could take the sunrise and sprinkle it with dew. I needed the candy man.

5.    I was in luck when I found some coinage in the street and I bought a Wonkabar and found the golden ticket. I looked up to the chocolate factory, the billowing smoke wafting from the stacks, and knew Mr. Wonka would help me choose between the two most important men/creatures in my life.

6.    Unfortunately, my plan exploded in my face—quite literally—when I tripped and knocked a few oompa loompas into the everlasting gobstopper machine and caused a fire. Mr. Wonka forgave me considering I promised not to tell Ol’ Sluggworth about the secret recipe to the candy that would change the world. It was at that moment when I knew which dude I wanted, plus I wanted more eggs so I had to get out of the factory.

7.    Mr. Wonka took me up in the glass elevator and we flew through the sky in search for my sparkly lover boy. Tragedy struck again, when the elevator crashed into water. We were sinking fast with no way out, thankfully, I stashed a bottle of Double Bubble Burp-a-cola and we were able to float our way back to the surface where more trouble waited. A crazy-haired woman named Bellatrix snatched the candyman and me into her boat and drove the tip of her wand into my throat. “Where’s the Sword of Gryffindore?” she asked. “I don’t know anything about a Sword from a Griffin’s whore,” I replied (insert more doe eyes). That didn’t satisfy the freakshow and she threw me and Willie into a dungeon to await someone she called the Dark Lord. I’m just hoping he has a bazillion abs too.
I guess the rest will have to wait until my next award. Thanks again and check out some blogs I love to stalk.

Stylin' and Profilin'


I’m Stylin’
Thanks to my new friend, Janice Horton, I got hooked up with the Stylish Blogger Award. So the rules say I’m supposed to write 7 things about myself and then pass on the award to some of my favorite bloggers who are also supposed to pay it forward and share a bit about themselves and nominate their favs.
Here goes. My life is quite boring. I appologize in advance.
1)   I was raised in an orphanage in NYC. It wasn’t an easy existence, especially for a freckle-faced redhead with a nose for trouble, but I had some good pals, a stray dog named Sandy, and my songs. Singing always brings about a good tomorrow, don’t ya think?
2)   Sometime later, I was adopted by a bald fella who also had a proclivity for a good ol’ song and dance number. He was loaded too. Money, money, money.
3)   Still, life wasn’t easy. So my little family and I loaded up the truck and moved to Beverly—Hills, that is. We couldn’t believe our peepers at all the swimming pools and movie stars. Who doesn’t like swimming pools? Not this girl.
4)   We hung out in 90210 for a while making friends and dodging paparazzi when an outbreak tore our lives apart (dun, dun, dun).
5)   My bald adopted father took ill and turned into a bloodthirsty zombie. I severed my ties, if you know what I mean, with my old man and made my way across the country. I killed a few zombies, saved a few lives. What’s a poor orphan girl to do?
6)   We (my dog survived, of course) met a wonky old scarecrow on our journey and he suggested we take our troubles to the Wizard. The Wizard will solve everything. So we ditched that dunderhead and followed the yellow-bricked road to happiness.
7)   I couldn’t believe my eyes when I arrived at the Sober Valley Lodge. The Wizard aka Charlie Sheen greeted me with his Thing One and Thing Two or Goddesses as he called them. I marveled at his Mad Hatter appeal and knew the scarecrow was right: the Wizard would solve everything. I asked him how I could get my life back on track. He tapped his hands together and said, “Tiger blood.” That’s all it took.

My life’s never been the same since. I’m #winning. Tiger blood, baby.
And these bloggers are #winning too. Check ‘em out.

So if you bloggers want to claim your shiny award. Link back to me on your blog and then write 7 things about yourself and nominate your own favorite bloggers.

*I did get this award a few weeks ago and spaced it. So, I want to appologize to my friend Angela @ whimsywriting&reading  for not playing along. Check her blog out, especially if you like zombies. Besides coming down with a nasty plague of her own, she has a whole page devoted to the undead.
