The disadvantage of posting only once a week is the build up of exciting things happening on the web, like:
A new UFO sighting in Paris.
120 donkeys making the flight from Hawaii to LA WITHOUT jet lag. (I know, right?)
And AC/DC getting their own wine label. (I don't drink, but everyone says you're supposed to have wine with your cheese...)
Of course, while all of this is terribly exciting and productive *ahem* I have some news of my own. One of my fantabulous bloggy friends has awarded me a blog award. *jumping for joy*

Congrats on the award! Well-deserved!
ReplyDeleteI loved your news oddities, especially about the donkey...
Congrats on the Liebster.
ReplyDeleteNo donkey riding or cheese eating here. I would drink the wine, though I wonder if it has a metallic aftertaste?
The toe-sucker thing is crazy! Some people amaze me.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the award!
Oooh, I'm totally getting me some AC/DC wine!!! Congrats on your Liebster.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your award!
ReplyDeleteIs it wrong that I love donkeys? I find them so cute.
Congratulations on the award! :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your cool award.
ReplyDeleteDonkeys not getting jet lag? pfft! ;)
Congrats on the award!!!! and to those you've passed it on to. Rah! And ha, had to cringe and laugh at the same time about the toe-sucker.
ReplyDeleteThat's quite a lot of exciting news for one week! Congrats on the award.
ReplyDeleteLove the AC/DC wine...and cheese, lol. I have to try that just so I can have one of the bottles at the end of the evening.
ReplyDeleteAnd thank you so much for the award! ^_^
Congrats Crystal! And that's hilarious -- donkeys, ACDC wine. What next?
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for the blog award! :)
ReplyDeleteI hope to be on my blog more often if I ever get internet at home. LOL.
Congratulations on the award! And thanks for letting me know about the AC/DC wine - DH's Christmas present, sorted :-)
ReplyDeleteYes, to the new cheese this week. How does Smokey Brie sound? Tell me before I open the package.
ReplyDeleteGreat award. Congrats.
Shamefully, I'm not a huge fan of Brie. *ducking for flying pies* It's good with the right crackers and fruits though, and smokey flavor? That's sounds good.
ReplyDeleteCrystal, Thank you so much for the award. I promise I'm not ignoring it, especially after you said such nice things about my blog, I've had a lot on my plate this week, but I will definitely get my award post up. It probably won't be until next week, though, since I have to work on my challenge. Yikes!
ReplyDeleteThanks again for saying that you love my blog. That was worth more than learning that you gave me the award.
Congrats on the award. :)
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately I haven't tried any new cheese this week, but I was thinking some regular cheese would be good anyway.
