Surprise Awards and Packages

Wow, I go away for my work conference and come home to receive two awards and a surprise package in the mail. To what do I owe these honors? You people are spoiling me rotten. Rotten tomatoes. And I prefer fried and green.

Anyway, two wonderful, beautiful and intelligent women (who have never met me in real life) gave me my very first blog awards and on the same day too! So I want to thank them and I must mention them here and return my love for them:


Clueless Mom (Laurie) from Guessing All The Way says I always make her laugh and she loves my writing style. She bestowed me with a lovely blog award. Aww, shucks ma'am! You make me blush. You had me at hello, you don't look 30. :-)




Let's Have A Cocktail (JennyMac) calls me "fun meets humor meets the great girl next door." She bestowed me with the honest scrap award (I think). Oh Jenny, how I would love to be the girl next door to you. I'd bring over the cheese to go with that whine, I mean wine of yours. ;-) I want to taste those famous sangrias too!




Thank you lovely ladies! You truly made my day after an exhausting, wacky business trip to the beach.


But perhaps the best surprise came from Kimberly-Clark. Miss Clark sent me a package in the mail, a box of treats that I know every woman would be truly jealous over. Just see for yourself:











That's right - a box of maxi pads and panty liners (and even a coupon) just for me! How ever did she know I needed them? Did my recent bitchy-ness on the four hour drive home send signals to Miss Kimberly-Clark and she could only assume that Aunt Flo would be paying me a visit here soon?

I didn't realize that a period fairy existed? Or that she made house calls? How lovely! I'm truly honored to receive the ultra thin, the overnight and the liner version of your products.

Am I supposed to pass these along to others too? Send a box of tampons to your friends to show them you care!

As long as they are unopened and not used, right? The half-used ones go to the ex-boyfriend who dumped you or that annoying neighbor whose dog constantly pees and poops in your flower bed.

Cheers to you fine women and thank you for my honors!

(P.s. - I'm supposed to pass along these awards to other people, like ten or fifteen. But I hate being selective when there are so many other wonderful folks who need and deserve an award. If you have read this entire blog entry, then you deserve this honor. If you find me even a wee-bit funny or interesting, then you deserve this honor. I have a trophy with your name on it for putting up with me. Feel free to post your mailing address and I'll send you the trophy, plus your very own kit of feminine hygiene products too. Hey, what are friends for?!)
