    (awarded) A One-Hour Chip for Same-Status-Update-Multiple-Platforms Recovery. Chip was subsequently retracted…

    Babble’s Funniest Top 50 Twitter Mom of 2011. Thank you Babble! Most shocks are not pleasant, but this one sure was. So honored to be included among these awesome tweeps (tweeps is annoying for “person who tweets” which is annoying for “person who uses Twitter”).

    Also, Some ridiculously overdue thanks to:

    To the lovely and talented Liz from Peace, Love, Guacamole for giving me the closest thing I will get to a Sanskrit Tattoo:

    Never mind the fact that Husband has a co-worker on his project right now named Tami Taylor. If you don’t know which Tami Taylor this refers to, you have not watched Friday Night Lights and you need to rectify that immediately. Thanks Liz!! You should watch Liz’s beautiful reading “The Cord” from LTYM:Austin last Spring.

     

    Also, thank you to Lisa from Seeking Elevation for this award. She’s smart, funny, and a talented writer. Check out her blog.

    Have a great weekend everyone.

    1. Wait – how is this possible? Didn’t that guy Dan send you an e-mail telling you that you’re NOT funny? Guess Babble didn’t get the memo.

      Love this list and LOVE FNL. I watched the last two episodes a week ago (on a Friday night no less – not planned) and I’m feeling a bit bereft. I have never wanted a man in belted shorts so much in my life (or um – ever). I’ll miss those Taylors!

    2. Congrats on your award, and your immense importance!

      Love, love, love Tami Taylor and all her wisdom. I still crave that show every Friday Night. Coach Taylor has been all over the fundraising for the Central Texas wildfires around here and I know I should be focused on helping those affected by the tragedy, but all I keep thinking is how great it is to see Eric again.

    3. DANG it.

      I totally fake cry to my kids. Except I use real tears and am often really crying.

      And it works. No joke.

      (They are in middle school so older than yours. Try it in a decade. Maybe.)

    4. I’m a New York Jew who moved to the South 3 years ago and my motto has always been “what would Tami do” We’re such intimate friends I leave out the Taylor 🙂
      This motto has helped me in countless situations as I’m a total social spaz and klutzy in every other area also
