Letters of Intent

UPDATE: I'M NOT SURE WHAT IS WRONG WITH MCKLINKY AND MY NEW LAYOUT. PLEASE CONTINUE TO LINK UP ON THE SECOND MCKLINY. I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO LOOK INTO THE PROBLEM UNTIL THIS EVENING. SORRY!


Has it been a week worth remembering? Or how about a week worth forgetting? Has your calendar been so filled with things to do and places to be that you want to rip the thing off your wall and throw it in the trash? Has American Idol being so annoying that you have officially removed it from your DVR list? Well tell me about it! Write the who, what, when, where, and why in letter form of course. Grab my button from my RIGHT sidebar and link up at the bottom. I look forward to your Letters of Intent!

Ability to be invisible: 36 (Woohoo!)

Top comment pick:

Shaun’s:

I chose invisibility. I would love to just disappear so I don't have to hear "mommy, hey mommy, mommy, mommy, mommy, mommy. MOMMMMMMMYYYYYY" When my husband is sitting right beside me and he can easily answer the question, turn on the light in the bathroom, get the milk, etc. That would give me a good 5 minutes of peace. If I were to pick flight, the kids could still see me. I love my children, really I do, but I want to pee with the door SHUT! Sorry...got a little off track there. But yeah, invisibility for sure! Plus, I would totally be able to tag along on my daughter's dates when they get older. And I could randomly drop in on them at school and they'd never know. I would use my power of invisibility for good too. I'd be all sneaky and drop in on meetings of opposing governments, then we'd know what they were thinking. Think a country has nukes? Just call me! I'll go check it out! I'd totally save the world.

Dear My Most Beloved Followers,

Thank you so much for allowing me to redeem myself! I am forever grateful that you did not cause me to go down two in a row to Rachel in our Battle of the Blogs. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Love,

The woman who is doing the happy dance with jazz fingers.

Dearest Rachel,

I can’t help myself. I just have to do it. You gave a good effort and I applaud you for it. You even went so far as to beg pity votes not once, but twice. Even after the polls were supposedly closed. Ahem. So, without further delay- Na-na-na-na-na-na. *Sticking thumbs in ears and waggling fingers.*

boy

Love,

The woman who is doing the happy dance with jazz fingers.

I am SO TOTALLY hooked on the whole battle of the blogs thing! It's great. Keep doing it! Funny, and witty letters of intent too!

And, I'd like to do my own happy dance with Jazz fingers because I AM THE FIRST ONE ON YOUR LINKY!!! Yeah! I don't think I've EVER been the first on a linky. LOL.

Rachel said...

Wow... I'm even getting trashed in your comments, just kidding LOL

Congrats chica - though I still can't find any email that says the polls were closing on Tuesday??? ha ha

And I'm wondering why you took the easy way out instead of just posting a picture of YOU sticking your tongue out? Cuz I would have dared you to see that! :)

HeatherOz said...

hmmmmmmmmm! Shaun has some very convincing arguments! Congrats on the win!

Shell said...

Congrats on your win! I can't believe I missed this! It's been quite the week here, too.

I would def be dancing but instead of Jazz hands it would be "spirit fingers!" LOL

Oh and I forgot to comment back about your layout.. it is fixed in firefox!

Brandi said...

Congrats on the win... you're such a good sport. LOL!

Rachel said...

Umm... where's my link? I linked my LOI up and it showed up last night. The formatting is kinda wonky in the MckLinky area, but I'm starting to suspect foul play? hee hee :)

Big Mama Cass said...

Yay!! Congrats!!

I am SOOOO behind on commenting that I can't even apologize anymore! lol

Something funny though... I wrote a letter to american idol today and so i giggled when i read your first paragraph :)

Jennifer said...

your blog is so great and entertaining. I wrote a letter of intent to day and gave you a shout out on mmy blog, not that I have that many followers but I do have a few friends who read who are still a lil reluctanct to join the blogging community and I know they will read. Keep on blogging your awesome!

Liz @ Sugarplum Creations said...

Where to begin??? Shaun just summed it up beautifully, didn't she? HA! And can I just say that I would LOVE {LOVE!} to see your happy dance with jazz fingers. Oh the jazz fingers.

*You can't possibly be worse than me about commenting. I'm so behind!

P.S. Word Verification = papsmers

A little too much like pap smear to me! LOL

Michelle Pixie said...

Love the picture of the child sticking his thumbs in his ears and waggling his fingers, but I have to think it would have been much more effective had you posted a picture of yourself! Besides we all know you have some mad editing skills when it comes to Photoshop...you could have Photoshoped yourself! :D

Hope you have a quieter weekend!

iamthatmommy said...

Can't link!

Le boooo!

Corrie Howe said...

I'm glad you won. I'm behind on blogs too. I just got below 1000+ after a couple hours of reading and commenting.

So I'll read about your dual in a few posts from now. I'm glad you didn't go 0 for 2. I know you like to win.

Kristi said...

Yay you!! Congrats on the win!

I hope you get some time to relax this weekend!!

Congrats on winning. That's awesome.

brian said...

Sorry, Sister Bertrille, but I didn't even bother to read the blue print. This isn't even close.

Invisible. Without a question, invisible.

And yes, I'd use it for all the wrong things, and yes, Mr. Daddy is lying if he says he wouldn't do it too.

You win Julie :)
