hi sugarbabies…
i have a confession to make… im not proud of it.. but… i’m behind on my meme’s… i suck…i know…
so i am probably cheating but im gonna do TWO memes in ONE Post… the first is the Excellent blog Award.. a few weeks ago a super fun blogger The Redneck Romance Writer … said i was…get this…an EXCELLENT BLOG… the rule was i was supposed to nominate 10 blogs i love…. sooooo here goes…10 blogs that i love..and that keep me from getting ANY work done…
Arjewtino.. i know ..EVERYBODY loves this guy..but i cant help it…. he is the three c’s cute committed and candid…. all of which i love in a blogger….plus he answers any jewish questions my shiska booty can come up with.. ..ed note..i mean committed to his blog…he happens to be committed to his fab girlfriend too…but you know….im not as thrilled about that! 
lol
Bridal Bird… formerly brunch bird … i dont even like wedding related stuff… but this chick…is alll perspective…xoxo
Culinary Couture….she even convinced ME to try to cook a few times!
DCBlogs .. ok..well this one is what i call…. a community maker… by keeping a running live (real time) list of local blogs they have (possibly inadvertently) …fostered a crazy (sometimes in the bad way …sometimes in the best way) community of bloggers that is like no other that i have come across… and well…they are responsible for me blogging at all…. so props to them!
Dealing in Subterfuges….jeebus… i wish i was as clever as this bacon lover.
Decidedly Uncomplicated…. if i ever need “professional help”…this is where ill go first…shes a pro…not the kind of “pro” im always blogging about.. a professional party planner…..we have a reallly similar aesthetic… and her ideas (which she is nice enough to share on her blog) allllllways make perfect simple sense to me
NicolaSix an expat washingtonian… now in jersey…. but still funny, clever, and on my short list
Project Beltway… i dont ALWAYS agree …but i ALWAYS check her out…
Throwing Hammers… ok ..we both grew up in the south and spent some time in baptist schools..which means we prob have a lot of the same hang-ups.. and well…hes just a reallly good writer.. that helps too…but mostly cause he is freaking hysterical…
Violet Blue …sex positive, educated, no-nonsense, eloquent women writers are few and far between….. it makes Violet one of my very faves
FORWARD CHARGE….more meme’s
ok ok… yesterday foodrockz wanted to know some dirty random stuff about me…ok ok…..specifically 7 random things you prob dont know about me….
true confessions of a sex kitten:
1) my grandma was one of the first women nascar drivers…. which SORT OF explains why she drove the getaway car in a bank robbery…. no shit… i couldnt make this shit up… at family reunions..the old people always shake thier heads and say im just like her! lol…in an Ironic twist that only happens in REAL life…my grandfather on the other side … is a famous North Carolina banker…
2) Im really good with numbers..and im reallllly good with money…no kidding.. its true..
3) Its realllly hard to make me mad…… about the only thing that I reallllly cant stand….is when people are rude… not the kind of rude where folks dont know which fork to use…. the kind of rude that puts 4 forks on the table when they KNOW that their guests will be bewildered…
4) I LOVE paper… stationary…. is one of my largest expenditures every year….i love it….i look for ANY excuse to send a note…ive been known to have parties just because i had a really good idea for an invitation…
5) im OCD… my refrigerator is a feak show…my compulsion to organize embarrasses me… so sometimes i organize in ways that others wont notice…like reverse alphabetical order…
6) im southern… it accounts for most of my eccentricities…. like….when i drink or if i want something reallly bad my accent gets stronger….i WILL NOT call boys…i wear dresses to church… my bra and panties always match… i use the good china all year long…. i have more table clothes than should be legal (and my ocd means that i have to iron them regularly)… and i cherish the differences between boys and girls…
7) …hmm…something juicy to finish up with…..i dont have any tattoos.. everyone always assumes i do….i do however, have several discreet piercings…

two good lists… i had a feeling you were into table setting when you posted that photo of how you decorated with tree branches… but i can’t actually remember when that was or much else about it. i do remember it being very domestic.
it was reading the feed at dcblogs that caused me to catch the blog bug too. i am so addicted to it…
aw thanks.. and yeah…i set a mean table.. thats my job at holidays!!! xoxo

“sugarbabies”… is that also related to #6? I can totally picture a Tennessee waffle house waitress calling me “sugarbaby”. I can totally picture liking it too.
..lol..it actually comes from my great granny…who used to call all us grand kids her sugarbabies…she was a letter writer too…and she started all her letters to me with dear sugarbaby…or if it was to my brother AND me….dear sugarbabies….

Wow. Thanks for including me in your shortlist, sb! I’m all flattered and stuff.
And I love the true confessions list. I used to secretly think I could take you in a street race, but now that I know your family history, I think I’ll let go of that little delusion.
no worries love..im thinking there are a few better delusions about me…that you can hold on to xoxo

The story about your NASCAR driving grandmother made me giggle hysterically, b/c it’s the sort of thing my grandmother would’ve told me about herself.
She wasn’t really a NASCAR driver, though–she just lied compulsively as part of her general insane-ness.
why is it that general insane ness…is not cute in us girls until we are about 70????

I love writing utensils… but my handwriting is atrocious, especially since I broke my right thumb into little itty-bitty pieces. But I still have to resist the temptations to spend $$$ on writing utensils. Hence, my set of personalized stationary has gone unused for years and years.
:-\
awww… i bet its not as bad as YOU think it is!…we are always our worst critics…

Awww sucks and sweet mercy, it ain’t just my neck that’s red now…
Praise Sweet Jesus and Praise the Lord!
This calls for champagne I can’t possibly afford!
Some mock my twang,
Others mock my slang,
But they mock can’t my rating - it’s a major award!
did you just say..”sweet mercy”???

Hammer is pretty awesome with the poetry on your blog.

There’s nothing really wrong with OCD- unless you’re up at 4am making sure that the Bathroom is Immaculate or keep checking that the light switch is in the correct position or realizing that your hands are rubbed raw from washing. Then you might be motivated to sek help/medication etc…
Thanks for the list of blogs, I’ll go take a look although I now need Google reader to keep up with the ones I currently follow.
Along with the OCD also came a great sense of Style as well I’m betting.
see bill..thats why i love you…you like me just the way i am.. with the crazy! lol

I gotta say, I’m a little disappointed. Seven things we should know about you and not one of them was about sex. I want… I need… something like, “I’m a southerner, and I used to date baseball players in college, so I’ve fielded pop flies and gotten to home base on second and third base.”
and i thought you kids were tired of hearing about my sex life…

What’s with OCD and bloggers . . . or is it OCD and bloggers I like . . . or is it OCD and everyone? Just about everyone I spammed with that meme listed some form of OCD as one of their random factoids . . . including me. After one of my friends read my list of seven, she emailed me threatening to out my on the alphabetization of my spice rack. And I’m like, go ahead and post it in a comment. What kind of idiot doesn’t have their spice rack alphabetized? But the reverse-alphabetization of the refrigerator contents . . . that’s taking it to a whole other level. I’m impressed! That’s crafty. Way to cover your crazy tracks. I’ll have to try it. Maybe on my spice rack. Maybe right now. Gotta run!
can you draw a ven diagram of that???…. all bloggers are OCD not all OCD folks are bloggers… or is isthe other way..i love my ven diagrams..xoxo

I could win a Pulitzer and wouldn’t be as excited as this recommendation. Try me if you think I’m kidding.

I’m going to the salon today and asking to be blonder. I’m not, however, getting any discreet piercings. Not that you’d ask for that at a salon anyway…
