I have no shame and take issue with the great Groucho Marx who once proclaimed, “I would not join any club that would have someone like me for a member.” I think I made that point clear in the email I sent Alltop begging to be included:
Hi,
I love what you are doing and would love to be considered in the mommyblog category. I write June Cleaver Nirvana.
This is why you need me:
I am smart, cute and funny.
And modest (well, in real life I dress modestly ¦).
I draw a mean stick-figure.
Thanks,
Holly

PS ”Think of all the publicity Alltop will receive when I snap someday and end up on the 6 o ™clock news. You can have the story FIRST and then proudly proclaim that you knew me when ¦
I think I swayed them with that PS.
The dear people at Alltop responded by sending me a lovely email that ended with this PS:
PS.
We’d much rather you mention Alltop during your acceptance speech at the next Bloggers Choice Awards! 🙂
To which I now reply: Me too, but really, which is more likely?
Ya, I would stay close to your TV if I were you.
Today’s potluck food is homemade strawberry jam. We will have to visit TX Poppet for more since I ate the entire jar she canned and gave to me (in one sitting–is that wrong?). Yummmm. I will also have to go to the bakery and get some more fresh bread because I ate all of that too.
Ryan(7)’s closest friend was over this afternoon to play. She came running into the kitchen with the following question, “Holly, is Ryan married?”
And now for a brand spanking new Nirvana feature:
POTATOES. And as if potatoes weren’t exciting enough, I am rolling out yet another new feature:
Crapicity: a state of crappiness in which Holly’s perkiness factor decreases dramatically.
Today’s crapicity inspired the artwork above. Is it my lack of sleep or has the degree of difficulty on word verification jumped significantly in the last few days? Over the weekend I was word verificationized multiple times on multiple blogs. On several occasions I have just stared at the screen thinking there is no way I am going to get this right.
Wow. This week was a bit weird on the Google front. Someone entered the Nirvana after googling, “catchy waffle slogans”. The weird thing is that I love waffles and would have totally posted catchy waffle slogans if I knew there was such a Google need for such things. Note to self: write and post some catchy waffle slogans to boost Nirvana ranking ASAP. Another dear reader arrived after googling, “nirvana sweat pants”. Just weird. But my favorite this week has to be “we aint no June Cleavers”. Yes, you are right. We aint and June would have phrased that much differently.
I come from the “you don’t want me to say three” style of parenting. At 3 bad things tend to happen. Reid(4) was overhearing my count…ONE…TWO…for his older brother’s benefit when he muttered the following under his breath, “And now for our bonus number…three”.
Is there a number at which GoogleReader stops counting?
If anyone finds my A game, please let me know where I lost it. I’ll give you to the count of three…
My exemption Smokes Reviews My freedom E Cigarette and
you may be suprised by the dispute in timbre, and all at prices that are indisputable to make you smile.
e cigarette First of all, many people On that point had been Exploitation tobacco for a a
great deal longer metre than they had to begin with idea.
Filters are perhaps one what tobacco cigarette was ever refillable?
ecigarettes-platinum.co.uk/ Hopefully, with the aid
of technology, the e-liquid victimized for E Cigarettes would be made pot, but it
sure as shooting doesn’t olfactory property care it!
Strawberry jam and fresh bread…eat it all in one sitting. You deserve it.
Counting to three? I tell them if I get to 2 they’re in trouble. They run.
Word verification SUCKS lately. I feel like a doofus every time.
Right there with ya.
Congrats on Alltop!!! You rock!
And I don’t count to any number. I prefer a sneak attack. It keeps them on their toes.
I think the word verification has gotten so hard that the computer can’t tell that you actually got it right! Cuz, I swear, I’m not that dumb.
I’m visiting from Philosopher-Mom, too. You really are a different kind of June Cleaver if you wear those “sexy styles at great prices” from Greatglam.com. Or is it June Cleavage? 😉
I love the art work!
Honey, it’s going to be a long, long time before you lose your A game! You’re batting a 1,000 here!
Cool Alltop letter & response!
And YES, thank you for clarifying the word verification thing. It has been crazy making.
crapicity is totally the word of the day.
and just for you, i’m gonna take off word verification.
it IS getting out of hand.
1) Yay you for Alltop! You’re cool. 😉
2)I don’t know what’s in your fruit bowl…the damn light is burned out and I can’t see into it. LOL!
3)You must make a button from the crapicity picture. Because life is like that and it’s a perfect description.
4)Catchy waffle slogans: if you ever watched Mystery Science Theater 3K, you know they had a waffle song at one point. What I had for breakfast is long gone from my memory, but I still remember the lyrics to that stupid song.
5)My “A” game has gone missing, it’s been posted on the back of milk cartons, I don’t anticipate seeing it again. 😉
