Oh my werd! My blog has over 30,000 hits!
You know what that means? Time for sum gud ol’ blog candy! Post today (3/12/08) before Midnite PST, and I’ll draw a random comment. The winner will get a little sumtin’ sumtin’ in the mail!
(sadly, I don’t have a pic to tempt you, but trust me, it’ll be ”comment-worthy” - I’m going to the Scrapbook Expo in Pleasanton this Friday and expos are CHOCK-FULL of awesome new products! I saved lots of money for this little venture!)
In other news,
I’ve been tagged by Stephanie, one of the gals in my swap group challenging me to list 7 more random things about me. Pretty soon, i’ll have absolutely no secrets! You’ll tire of me and unsubscribe or quit vistiting, and then i will never be able to give away blog candy for monumental site hits… sigh. However, I liked her random things – never heard of Vera Bradley until her tag and now there’s yet another website i will throw money at.
- Coke or Pepsi- COKE, but i really like Orange soda or Root Beer better. I rarely drink soda and consider it “dessert” or “medicine” when i’m sick. (come on, you know the carbonation feels good on yucky throats and tummies, right?)
- I love trail hiking and LOVE trail running over any type of running. It’s almost like “playing outside”!
- I love to decorate tables - i raid the clearance racks at Pier 1, Target or Cost Plus World Market for new ideas for table pieces and cannot resist any unusual plates, bowls, glasses, etc.
- I am currently reading Stacy Jillian’s new book Photo Freedom and love her ideas.
- Racoons don’t scare me, i’ll fight them anytime.
- Desperately waiting for the next tv season to start.
- I get up at a ridiculous 5:15 am Sun-Weds to leave for work by 6:10, which gives just enough time to hit Starbucks and make it to work at 6:45 am.
Okay, so now that I’ve bored you because i can, it’s time for tagging others- I hereby Tag Maria, Estivalia, Danielle & Monique! (if you already have been tagged, then just tag someone else!). Thanks for humoring me!

Candy?!? Give it! Mine!
Liked your factoids, not boring at all! It’s hard to think of 7 things, huh? We could have used your racoon-fighting services last time we went to the beach. We had a crazy-eyed racoon who tried to get in our cabin every time we opened the door! He was scary!

Oooh, blog candy – fun! Congrats on your numbers…
Thanks for playing! Yep, Vera Bradley is awesome. Must be a Florida thing or something because someone else I tagged hadn’t heard of it either, hmmm. Anyhow, check it out b/c the patterns are gorgeous and might inspire you to stamp something. We also have a heck of a raccoon story; where were you when we needed you?! ;) We played hide-and-seek with a raccoon for 3 nights in a row while we were housesitting. Each morning we went out to the garage to discover a mess. Finally, the hubby kicked the search into overdrive and shoo’d him out after a 15-minute stand-off, LOL! That thing scared us…with the mess he left behind each night, we imagined a monster.

Congrats on those 30,000 well-deserved hits! I love your blog as I am always inspired by your beautiful work, but I always seem to smile throughout my visit as well. I love the baby monkey’s expression:) Like the posters before me, I could have used you to fight off some racoons as well. They practically moved INSIDE the house with us and were next to impossible to get rid of. I also think they were responsible for drowning our dog in our pool. Sure they are CUTE…but what ornery little rascals. LOL

Woo Hoo! Congratulations on huge hits! I have one of your notebooks from Pay it Forward and LOVE IT!!!!! I’m also seriously impressed with the running thing. My sister runs marathons and I on the otherhand am totally out of shape and have a recurring DREAM that I’m running! How sad! I’m keeping hope alive! Congrats again and thanks for hte chance to win blog candy!
BTW, I had raccoons living in the attic surrounding my room over the garage in my mom’s house as a teen. They used to party at night and one night I decided to surprise them! I wasn’t scared either. I swung open the door and a HUGE male stood up on his hind quarters and GROWLED at me. I think we both screamed at that point and I slammed the little door shut. Good times…. :)

Oooooh, you’re so brave……taking on the raccoons and all! LOL!
Um, if your 5:15 wake-up call is ridiculous then my 4:45am wake-up is just WRONG!!! ;)
Congrats on the hits, Chickadee!

A belated Yay! for all the hits on your blog. Didn’t get a chance to check in for the last couple of days (it has so been one of those weeks!)… but I still wanted to tell you that the pic of the chimp to start of your entry is toooo funny.
I will definitely do your tag this weekend… :)

It’s always fun to learn more STUFF about “my girls”! My husband is a “critter catcher” or technically a Wildlife Nusiance Trapper so I see many raccoons around this place (although here they are just referred to as coons- that’s a hick thing!) Anyway, I can attest to how mean they can be so you’d better watch it- don’t go looking for fights. :)
