I’ve been lax on handing out the linky love lately. These past few weeks, instead of charming you with my wit and undying humour *cough*bullshit!*cough* I’ve been working on getting out a few designs (that have been waiting Patiently! in the wings. I’ve managed to complete one so far.) before I go on vacation on Friday. Yup. End of summer vacation. Finally.
Carter, my dad, step-mom and I are driving (did you get that? d r i v i n g) to Myrtle Beach for two weeks. Mike is not coming. Mike has to work. Mike cannot afford to take vacation anymore this year because Mike has been off work for two MONTHS already this year and we’re really feeling it.
So much so I felt the need to buy a new-to-me iPod on Ebay. *ahem* It’s to help me survive the drive; you understand, right?
Over that last month of so I’ve been given a few bloggy awards! (Check them out under Blog Love in the sidebar. No, the other sidebar. Yup. That one.) Go! Me! and I’ve yet to hand out the love to my fellow bloggers: that brings me to today.
How much better could I possibly get? I mean, a give you Quicktabs and Top! Commentators, and a chance to win a DELL with me (you know you can guess more then once, right?).. and now, Linky Love? (If I’m not on your blog roll I should be.)
I’m going on vacation! *w00t!*
So I have a Nice Blogger Award x 2 and a I Love Your Blog Award x 3 = a lot of damn links (29 I think).
[If you click on said awards in the sidebar you'll notice that they link back to the person who awarded them (the newer ones anyway. I thought that was a nice way to give back.]
[Oh! and that's no way a hint that I think you should do the same for me.]
[But it would be nice! :D]

I love all 255 of you that I try and read regularly. You’ve all got a special place in my Google Reader.
But! For the purpose of this post, I must select the few that have really stuck with me and I skip over everything in my reader (like you, Sorry!) to read .
She is one of the funniest ladies out there. No matter the topic of her post, she can usually make me crack a smile. Absolutely Bananas is just that. Completely Bananas and I love her (blog).
She’s a given. I don’t think there’s a single person that doesn’t love Amalah; she’s a stinkin’ hoot - even when she drops her beloved iPhone in the Toilet.
Haley-O is thee Cutest Blogger Evah! Her posts are always so pleasant and cheery. They always help me get out of my IHateTheWorld Attitude first thing in the a.m.
Moosh In Indy’s Casey is someone that I could (and will) sit and talk with for hours (at BlogHer 2008). She’s so funny, and thinks I’m smart because I brought mooshinindy back from the gates of Error500 Hell.
Because we both laugh at mullets and fart, I need not say more. Mrs. Flinger is my hero. Period.
One of the first bloggers that I ever started reading, I feel in love with all over again when she posted a video of her at BlogHer talking about a bird pooping on her before a session (Hey Zoot, yeah that was me spending all that time rooting through your archives for the video. I’m not stalkerish that much?). Miss Zoot is adorable! *wringing hands* Oh, I hope she leaves a comment!
Minivan Mafia’s Jenn has a hot design: I found her during her hiatus and she’s dang funny! Check her out!
She’s my doppleganger.
She’s everyone’s favourite, and when I have bloggy trouble she’s there to help - whether she likes it or not.
I found Sassy just recently and I heart her so bad. The story about getting change back from the cashier was pee-my-pants worthy. Or The Doll? Hahahaha! She’s a stinkin’ hoot too!
I can’t get enough of her.
Heart her like no other.
*phew*
I think that about covers it. I know I forgot som, but I just don’t have it in me to link anymore. Sorry, next time, M’kay?
Now get reading!
Hey, do my a favour? If you have any interesting! or fun! podcasts to send me way can you please do so. I’d like to add them to my new-to-me iPod when it comes this week. (Dammit, it better come this week!)
Vacay in 6 days! *w00t!*
Thanks for the linky love, girl!

A zillion thanks, Sam! Truly! Now if I can only figure out how to do the link back with the button thing. I think I know how. But you’ll have to check up on me.
And I totally get the whole drive thing. I think the next time I have to do a road trip, I’m sitting in the back with a trashy novel. Anything to keep from wondering whose bumper my husband is trying to kiss next.
Oh, and the design you cooked up with the two babies…LOVE IT!

Nice? Me??? You must be high, but what the hell, I’ll take it!

wOOt to the vaca bOO to the error 500.
Let’s hope blog her is somewhere reasonable, and WE SHOULD TOTALLY BE ROOMIES. (I’m cheap though, be warned)
Thanks doll.

September 9th, 2007 at 1:53 pm
Thanks, Sam! I think you’re pretty da*n nice too! Congrats on the awards!
You’re more then nice, but that’s all I had to share! *hugs*
September 9th, 2007 at 3:05 pm

And, I’m going to be away when you’re due… but I’ll have my laptop (from work) and check in regularly! I can’t wait to find out what Monkey is a Big Sister to. (LOL! Sounds funny!)
September 9th, 2007 at 10:03 pm
thank you much sistah… those are some mighty kind words… now I’ll have writer’s block for a month as I fail to live up to them!
Please, if you can’t write you can definitely post Photoshop pics! LOL
September 9th, 2007 at 10:57 pm
I love your layouts.

I don’t want to be an ass and admit that I CANNOT CODE.
I’d totally link you on that cute little button, but *ahem* (shhhh … I don’t remember how)
Come on now?! What is it you do with all that SPARE time? You haven’t learned to code yet? *Pffffft*
Hahaha! *wink*

Thank James Dobson you didn’t declare me nice. I’d have to Tase your ass for that one.
I thought about it, but knew you’d tell me I was off my fuckin’ rocker or something. And, even though you’re nice, I could never tell you that for fear of what you may do to me in my sleep. You’re CRAZY!
September 10th, 2007 at 8:14 pm
We don’t just have mullets and farts, girl. We’ve also got designing and drinking. (Well,I do mine simultaneously)
Muwha and thank you for the LUFF.
September 11th, 2007 at 6:34 pm
Dear God. You heart me? Do you know how long I’ve waited for someone, anyone, to say they HEART me? Fifteen years. Or 17. I forget. So thank you for making my day just a little bit brighter. And less boring. Geez I’m bored today.
September 13th, 2007 at 3:16 pm
I so totally feel like a loser… didn’t even notice until today, and I was fooling around with Technorati that you put me in for the Nice Matters Award!
My first little linky love button, EVER. I heart you. *Grin!*
Have fun on your vacation!!
