This Is The Year

Welcome friends! It's time to party...mod podge style! Let's review the rules for playing: Mod Podge Mania is a way for us to share and receive some fabulous ideas for using Mod Podge. Therefore, it makes sense that not only should we link up, but then we should follow up. By that, I mean - get out there and visit! You never know what amazing project might be just a link away! Make sure to include a link back to our party in your post. You may link up any project, old or new, but please, if you use an old post, update the post to include a link back to our party, and maybe do a current post explaining about Mod Podge Mania so your regular visitors will know where to find the party. Let's go! I haven't been blogging very regularly, but I hope we still get a decent response! I've decided to share a project that I did blog about previously, but it was way back at the beginning of my blogging career (you like how I've labeled it a career?), so I'd like ...

My mom has been repremanding me about my lack of blogging. I know I deserve it. The thing is, I have a situation I am involved in that is really consuming so much of my time and energy. But I am here. I do miss you. And rather than making promises that I'll be better at blogging, just know that I will blog as much as I can, and visit when I am able to. I really love all my bloggy friends, and hope you don't leave me for my lack of blog activity recently! I also want to remind everyone that Mod Podge Mania has snuck up on me again! Please be sure to come back tomorrow and link up your projects! Also, spread the word so we can have as many partiers as possible! Thanks!

Dear Monty , Thank you SO much for getting me a signed copy of Mitt's new book! I know you just gave it to me this morning at our budget meeting, but I have already started reading it! I am enjoying it very much. I know a lot of bloggers tend to shy away from blogging about politics (unless they have a political blog), and I generally don't get into it too much - but I am proud of the things I believe in, so I let it sneak in here once in awhile. Speaking of...PLEASE start updating your blog more often. I have mentioned you before on my blog, and how much I look up to you, and how much your blog inspires me, and makes me think. But I need more! So, you already have my undying gratitude for the awesome gift above, but imagine how deep my gratitude will be if you start blogging more! So get to it...mmmkay? Thanks - the one who wants to be like you when she grows up, Xazmin Dear Under-eye Bags, You suck. I don't know how to get rid of you. Can I tell you how annoying it is t...

I often ask myself if any of you would continue to read my blog if you knew what an idiot I was in real life. And I do mean I ask myself often. Case in point: Tanielle and I had a little girls' night in the other night. Our girls' nights always include giant Dr. Peppers. It has to be a Dr. Pepper from the Holiday around the corner and up the street. There are closer places to get a fountain Dr. Pepper, but the best fountain Dr. Pepper is from the Holiday around the corner and up the street. Just in case you were wondering. We spent a good portion of the night documenting the glory of the Dr. Pepper. Yes, she's still my friend even though I'm an idiot. As you can see...she's one too. If you were wondering where all the dead things came from...they are courtesy of her husband, Hunter Dan. Wonder if he'll be impressed with these pictures. He takes his trophies very seriously. Do you still want to be my friend? I assure you I have done even stupider stuff. Just ...

Time to link up to MiMi's meme ! Hahaha...I'm so clever. Okay - I have been looking forward to doing this post since this incident happened. Now WHY would I be looking forward to it? You may ask. Simply this...it's not me who looks like a fool in this story! Picture this: I'm sitting in the living room with my family when there's a knock at the door. I see through the peep hole that it is Lexlie, daughter of my very dear friend Tanielle . Lexlee and Cowgirl happen to be very good friends, but they attend different schools and don't get to see each other often, so Cowgirl is excited to see her. I'm thinking that Tanielle sent Lexlee in to pick up her house keys that we had from when Hubby cleaned their carpets a few days earlier. So I reach down to get my purse, and I see Tanielle drive off. Color me confused. Lexlee steps into the house and is just sorta standing there. I proceed to try to figure out what is going on. Me: Hi Lexlee. What ya doin'? Lexli...

Dear Bloggy Friends (again), It has been 1 week since my last blog entry. (If this sounds like confession, it is). Please forgive me. Holy Smokes! 1 whole week? What the heck is up with that? The truth is, I've been dealing with some, shall we say interesting situations, that have kept me a little distracted. But I'm missing ya, and had to make some time to tell you all! I hope you are all doing well, and will welcome me back (again), and forgive my blogging slackiness. Please? Yours Truly, Xazmin Dear MiMi , I cannot BELIEVE you have never heard "This Cowboy's Hat" by Chris LeDoux. That is like, a country classic. My brother used to listen to it over, and over, and OVER! Since it was your result for "which country song are you?", I have generously posted the song below so that you may listen! Pretty good, eh? I mean it's OLD, but still. Plus...Chris Ledoux? Ca-UTE! Hope you enjoyed! Yo...

Dear Bloggy Friends, I have missed you! I am so sorry it's been so long, but my stinkin' computer DIED on Monday! Then there was a lot of drama in replacing it, and I didn't have internet access, and I went nearly insane feeling like I was "out of it" with all my favorite blogs, and I feel like I've missed so much! I promise that I love you, and have not forgotten you. I am working on getting around to visit everyone, just give me some time! I hope you still love me, Xazmin Dear Everyone, The new thing at Best Buy is this: They are really pushing the Asus brand laptop. Don't do it. I fell for all their fancy talk about Asus being top of the line, and making all the components for all the other brands. I gave in, and then regretted it. I had my Asus laptop for less than 20 minutes before deciding I hated it. Fortunately my computer fix-it guy gave me his opinions, one of which happened to be "if I were to go buy a laptop today, it certainly wouldn'...
