The critics are raving! ~
Or would that be the lunatics? Here are some wonderful things that wonderful people have recently said about me and this little old blog.

WOW! Can I just say, I love you for your weirdness, that is what makes my day. And such a great post, thank you!

My Right To Bitch
A huge thank you to The Cheeky Diva for recognizing me with the Blogger Idol Award. I’m still kind of surprised that she even knew who the hell I was? On the other hand, I’d be shocked if you’re not familiar with her already. In case you’re not, allow me to introduce. She’s a sharp-tongued, mouthy little mid-westerner known for being a lovable ditz. I love reading all of her quirky compilations, but her weekly Thursday Haiku Madness is one of her best. Its wildly popular. It’s true, all the cool kids are doing it. I do? Drop by for a stab at it. Once you do, you’ll be hooked. She’s my new partner in crime too — possibly even a blood relative somewhere down the line. I’m looking into it at the moment. I’ll be sure to keep everyone posted. Keep an eye out for Cheeky n’ Me in the coming weeks. We’ll be hosting a weekly romp together that you won’t want to miss. Your Sundays will never be the same…Thank you Cheeky, you’re a Diva indeed.

Thanks Diva. You’re definitely one of the people I immediately think of when I measure both quality AND quantity. A few years from now, when we’re both overnight sensations, we’ll look back on these little insecurities and have a laugh. Or rather, we’ll have our staff have a laugh about it (seriously, we’ll be so rich and famous and powerful that we’ll have people for that…)
You got bored watching porn? Is that even possible?

This one is my required Blogger Idol candidate. However, I would have
recommended her regardless. It’s the CheekyDiva – deep thoughts from a shallow mind. You will know why I’m loving on this lady if you head over to her blog right now and read the current post heading: “Hey Dumbass – yeah you, listen up!” I want to get shit-faced with this woman and shout insults at random strangers. I think we had the same idea going into blogging. She recalls her start-up like this: “ Me: I’ll start a blog. It will be the most bestest creation ever. All will read and bow down to me and I will have a book deal by the end of the first week.” If you’re a friend or follower, this sounds far too much like me. Does everyone remember when I sent a letter to Jenny Lawson (aka The Bloggess) at week six, whining: “I’ve been at this shit for like six weeks. Why am I not wildly popular by now? What the fuck?” The Cheeky Diva shares plenty of her WTF moments too, and they are all laugh out loud (really) hysterical.

I have never read an ode to mashed potatoes before, but this made me weep with joy. And now here’s mine:
Wonderful hot dogs
Delicious tubes of meat
I smother you with mustard
And ketchup, then I eat
I think Nathans are my faves
But all franks get my raves

YOU SHOULD BE IN BLOGGER IDOL!
Thank you for telling people I’m psychotic! I appreciate it. No, seriously.

You are hilarious. Wait til they hear about THIS at the family reunion. This’ll really piss them off!

I got the greatest compliment recently. My darling husband called me a savant. He was sweet enough to make sure the “idiot” was silent.
Mr. Thecheekydiva
I cannot keep up with you! LOL! When did you post this? I was just wondering ‘hmmmm, where has Ms. Diva been?’ Here you are, busy as always. Well done!
: )
I was chained to the laptop last Sunday, writing haikus for Le Clown’s crowd, so I did a little tweaking. Not as much as I wanted, because I also had to pluck and boil me a couple a chickens and do my warshing. We work hard in Nebraskee.
Cheeky-girl, I’ve looked for a place to email you (what am I missing??) but not having found such, and since I adore you, I really, really adore you, I figured right here was as good a place as any. I see that you’ve followed me on Pinterest, and that you have your WordPress link prominently ensconced on your page. I cannot figure out how to do that and it makes me feel dumb, which in turn makes me feel grumpy. Would you be of a mind to give me some slight assistance with that, as in tell me how the hell you did it?! Thank you ever so much in advance.
Oh of course! If I can remember how I did that. Er…..gimme a minute. As far as emailing me, there should be a contact form on my “about page”, but a little secret is if you go into your comments in your WP dashboard, you will be able to see the email addressses of those who’ve left comments on your blog. Although, I’m not sure I left a comment yet so that wouldn’t help would it? I’m such a maroon. I’ll get right back to you on that Pinterest thingy.
Oh, super. And thanks for the email thingy tip!
Sure! I just went to Pinterest, and I see that you have a world icon that does link to your blog. Were you wondering how to add your blog address or verify it with Pinterest maybe?
Yes, that! And I didn’t realize that the world icon is my link — duh!
In your Pinterest settings, you can just type in the address for your blog. I don’t remember if you verify from Pinterest or from Word Press, you may need to check the support or forum pages on either site to find out how.
The verifying is the part that keeps tripping me up, and I hate reading instructions. My husband loves it, though, so maybe I can enlist his help. Thank you — you’re being very patient!
I’m trying to remember exactly how I did it. I think I may have done it on Pinterest. Gosh! I really don’t know what I did. Ha ha.
Hey there again. I think I may have figured it out. The Pinterest verification. If you go to your “tools” setting in your blog dashboard, there’s a section called something like “website verification services”. There should be a link there that will take you to your Pinterest settings page. I think you can do it that way. I hope. Let me know if that worked for you.
You rock! Lemme give it a shot and I’ll let you know …
Yay!!! I was making it too difficult, imagine that. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Let me know if there’s anything I can help you with sometime!
You wanna finish my quilt? GERRRRRRR!!! Last night it was sew-rip-swear-sew-rip-scream-sew-drink a shot-rip–eat a carton of ice cream-rip-awwww fuck it!
Um … I’ma just tiptoe out very quietly now. Hope you have enough ice cream and whatever was in those shots to get you through another evening. Shhhhhhh ……
ha ha, No worries. It wasn’t that bad. You’ll get the hang of WP soon enough and everyone here will be more than willing to answer all of your questions.
Everyone’s been very nice, especially you. I love it here. Have a very zen evening with your quilt …
I did! Going to whip up tomorrow’s Thursday Haiku Madness post and then I’m off to bed. In the morning I have a TV review to write for Forces Of Geek. Hope you had a lovely evening yourself. So nice to find a new friend.
Brilliant page title!
Thank you!
