Seriously losing it...

I cannot hold a thought together to save my life so this one's going to be all over the map...


Jerri, got your box together for the Valentine's Day swap...mailing it this afternoon...YIPPEE! I'm getting something done on time (I heard that collective gasp from family and friends...kiss my tush!) I hope you like it lady!:)


Got week 4 prompt out LATE last night (hey, it was still Monday;)

WEEK 4: Describe yourself in three words. ~No cheating by using titles like, wife, mother, teacher, Rockette, etc...And no physical descriptions either.

3 words that describe WHO YOU ARE.


This has been a big week for my Mallory. A week ago she got in 4 new teeth which include those awesome canine teeth~ they are quite sharp and pointy looking (think Dracula...not kidding). Yikes! She's been potty training like a champ ~ best method for her: birthday suit from the waist down during awake hours. Not my ideal way but she gets right over to that potty and never misses a drop.(TMI?) And oh yes, the cheering, the clapping, the dancing, the singing (our favorite~in your best conga line voice~tee tee on the po-tty! tee tee on the po-tty!), and the hoopla that goes on when she hits the mark~ absolutely ridiculous. But hey, whatever it is...it's working. This whole potty training bit is a pain in the bum. You finally get to a point where you don't have to carry so much junk around in the diaper bag and then, start potty training and...extra change of clothes, extra panties, bags to keep wet clothes in, tons more wet wipes, etc. make their way into the bag. Ahhh, I remember carrying a purse...a cute, little, adorable purse with MY things inside...lipstick, powder, gum, pen, paper, photos,....


oh, sorry...I must have dozed off...I had the nicest little dream....

I received this the other day and it made my day:

The Spread The Love Award*!*


Amy {Caffinated Cropper} & Christi {altered ambitions} sent it to me and it made me grin like a goof all day*!* When you receive it (or a week or so after...I am hopeless!) you are in turn supposed to award it to someone else. The award is for spreading love, support, and blogginess to those people and blogs that make you happy and in turn, make others want to spread some of that good stuff around too*!* You are to then go to leave them a comment letting them know that you left them a little tid bit on your blog. When you send it out~you could get it back more than once! (if you're just that awesome)

How awesome is that? Love, support and blogginess...that's great stuff I tell ya*!*

My Spread The Love Award goes to:


Kelly {Life With 3 Boys} -never ending support for 33 years-you rock!


Connie {the rest is still unwritten...} -always giving me food for thought


Casii {Granny Panty Chic} -just a cool lady all around. Always encouraging words and a HUGE laugh to boot!

Amy {Caffinated Cropper} -my new smarty pants, sassy blog buddy. ALWAYS cracking me up and encouraging everyone.

Jeanne {Dream, Create, Inspire}-As sweet and crafty as they come!


Christi {altered ambitions}- her encouraging words NEVER end...neither does her stamina! Because of her, I will never look at a print ad the same way again :)


Rachel {Memories of Mine to Thine}- she probably doesn't know how much I drop in. Very artsy lady who kicks serious butt and inspires with her photos, art, and words. Don't tick her off though...no really...;)


**About the song...am I the ONLY pathetic person who remembers this Saturday morning show? Kidd Video? Come on...someone please help me out here! (Ooooo...I thought he was SO cute!)

It's vaguely familiar. I remember that song. I must have been too busy watching the Smurfs though.

Awww, thanks for sharing the love. You know you're my best girl. I wouldn't have made it all these years without ya!!

Mrs Pretzel said...

yeah... if you suddenly STOP talking to me... you'd better watch out!! Thank you so much for loving me and my schtuff!!

ddinak said...

I totally remember this show. Or at least the blond haired guy with the big glasses. I think I had the same ones. I also remember Electa Woman and Dyna Girl and the Kroft Muppet Hour. I know I have to be dating myself. Thanks for time warping me.

Crystal said...

Uh oh! Week 4? Did I miss week 3 somehow? And I thought I was doing so good...

dianna said...

Crystal...darn it...I goofed didn't I?
I'm SO sorry~
leave your email address here and I'll send you the emails you are missing.
I really AM losing it...

Jeanne said...

Sorry Dianna, but the song doesn't ring a bell for me. Hey, thanks for the "Spread the Love Award." You're a sweetie to think of me. I'll get right on it in the next day or two. You are ahead of me with Artsymama's Valentine swap...got to get a move on.

Is it too late to join in on your Deck of Me project? Now that I have some sort of order in my studio and can see the surface of my desk, I'd love to play along with you guys!

Amy said...

Thank you so much for sharing the LOOOOOve back my way...big sloppy wet kisses to you...and yes I remember Kidd Video..I so can't believe I just admitted that...

Christi said...

awww, thank you sweetie!!

Kidd Video...wow, I hadn't thought about them in ages!!!

Loving your narrative on potty training...you just have to laugh!!

I am still determined that I am going to do the card deck...I just may have to wait and start it after LOAD ends...
smiles!

Aimee said...

can i be part of your card challenge? heard about it through a Got Paint class chat...
Carolyn from MI recommended your blog for more card challenges.

Carolyn said...

Dianne, no clue about the kidd video, did it air the same time as MTV? just curious, I was hanging out at that channel. LOL

Love the potty venture your having, and thank god I left that scene a good six years ago. LOL I had to buy this potty training video off amazon.com (some tv show mention it), and a princess potty chair, but the combo worked like a charm for dd.

Oh and I'm the Carolyn in MI, my screen name for BPS. Aimee did the Emily challenge, and was interesting in doing another one, so I told her to come to your blog and sign up. If you need help in contacting her, just let me, but hopefully there won't be.

Aimee said...

Thanks for including me...I want to thank Carolyn also----the chat went so fast last night that I do not have her email addy.

my addy is aimporco@yahoo.com

Thank you
