One Hundred (aka Damn It's Early, and Oh Hey, Have A Giveaway Too)

First of all, can I just say... 5 am is Really Friggin' Early! But y'all know we do what we have to in today's economy to keep our jobs... So let me start this post by saying Thank You hubby for busting one out every day for our family; so I can stay home with our munchkin and expand my Blogger Butt ~ even when it means a day like today which included leaving the house at 4:30am, driving 90 minutes to wait in line for over an hour in order to get a certification that you don't want because having it will mean future workplace headaches that you don't need. Thank You hubby, I love you.

So yeah, 5 am is early... not as early as 4 am, when I got up to make hubby's lunch so he could survive his brutally long day, even though the munchkin refused sleep till after midnight troll baby thanks kid ~ I'll definitely be napping sometime today, you know, while hubby is required to think and drive 90 minutes (which by then will be 2 hours) to get home... so don't cry for me Argentina that I got up at 4 am while hubby hit the snooze button ~ he got an extra 15 minutes... I'll put on a Disney with FastPlay (the bone Disney throws parents for melting every last intelligent synapse out of their skulls) and get at least 3 hours worth of nap time later.

So, in my she-looks-like-she's-watching-TV-but-in-reality-her-brain-is-going-5 million-miles-per-minute-and-is-as-far-from-what-appears-to-be-going-on-as-it-gets, I was thinking sometime last night... after the Obama speech and before I got the munchkin to pass out sometime around midnight~ish... how I was going to handle this, my 100th post...

Do I just embed the CNN/YouTube feed of Obama's speech with the phrase, "I have nothing left to say" under it? Do I re-post my first-ever-post, White Trash Woman? cop out Or a couple of the early gems like Parenting Craziness, and Stereo Junkie, and One Piece of Me? triple cop out plus too long Or do I give you some explanation of how the category On A Pale Horse came to be named after a Piers Anthony book of the same name? boring Do I post a picture of my computer area so that y'all can marvel at how I manage to bang one out a few times a week in this cluttered little corner? far too much work for pre-coffee pre-6am Do I pull an Academy Awards moment and get 5 more well known bloggers to write a mini blurb about how great my blog is so I can post it here in hopes of impressing y'all? far too late in the game and too early in the morning to have a snowball's chance in Hell of managing to pull this off. Note To Self: don't do crack before blogging. Note To Self: always ingest your body weight in caffeine before posting

Or, do I simply refill the coffee bowl, sit down in front of my beloved 'Puter and try to come up with something that will make you blog stalk me laugh your ass off, or think about the world and your role in it, or have a debate with yourself as to whether you want to get involved enough to call the little green men with strait jackets to come and take me away ASAP...

Obviously, the coffee-bowl-bang-one-out method was all I could manage to do that didn't require any real work or seem so lame, even to me at 5am, that I'd loose followers was what I chose after careful consideration. I mean, looking at the blog-roll, it seems that practically every other blogger was typing away during Obama's speech and I'm a day-late-and-a-dollar-short-dumbass for taking this long to post. But, this is simply my way... I didn't start watching Seinfeld till it hit syndication and Sex and the City was 3 years old before I joined the orgasm party.

Speaking of orgasm, I got an email this morning asking me to do a product review on a penis ring. Yeeeeaaaaahhhh... ummm, hubby is a good sport about the blogging and all, but pretty sure he'd scoff at having to be party to the research needed to do that product review... not to mention the 'WTF have you been writing about?!?!?' quiz that would happen since he'd want to know why the hell someone would ask me to do a penis ring review on what's supposed to be a harmless little blog. even if I'm more twisted than a corkscrew but I spare y'all from having to witness that level of fruit loop And what the hell types of blogs have I been reading?!?!? I mean, I could totally show him Jen's new layout on Cheaper than Therapy, or Brittany's total overhaul/move to WP on Barefoot Foodie (both of which look fan-friggin-tastic and are giving me a whole new case of blog-envy even if Brittany's post just totally reminded me that it was lent, and the only thing I have to give up is my thinly-veiled-facade of normalcy)... but if he sees the Bloggess, I may wind up without internet access getting the hairy eyeball and a three hour discussion about intentionally taking shit into my brain that's more twisted than politics.

But before that happens, I have a giveaway ~ a MINI giveaway ~ for y'all to celebrate my banging out hubby so I can stay home and blog 100 posts...

One entry per person ~ follow me here or on twitter (see left sidebar) and comment for entry in order to win 693 Entrecard credits, (why 693? ~ you mean aside from the fact that 369 was too few, and 936 was too many?) and a featured listing on this blog from Saturday, March 14th thru Tuesday, March 31st. And by featured, I mean right up top, above the new Yahoo Chat in the wide top section of the right sidebar; link will be text or banner, winner's choice. And if you're feeling left out cause you don't have Entrecard, join, it's free.

And, a reminder ~ you can still enter the EcoStore giveaway until 8am CST Friday 2/27...

And last but most certainly not least ~ Thank YOU for reading!!! Without y'all I'd be like one of those people on the street that talks to themselves and laughs out loud at what they are saying, startling everyone even remotely close to them... but you know, on paper (OK screen, whatever, I'd still be writing to no one and cackling to myself in the back room, which would be very, very scary.)

ps. Giveaway winners will be chosen at random from comments on Monday, March 2nd and announced the same day... told ya it was friggin' early!

pps. If you already follow me in either twitter or here, just leave a comment, I'll get it when I put my brain back in, and it will totally count.
