This is where I toot my own horn about what happened this week in the land of Whine. Actually, you could just read these Weekend Updates and get all the "Best of" stuff right here in one little post.
Forget I said that. Visit me everyday.
Here's how my week went...
Last Saturday I went to a tea party... so I tweeted about that.
I'm going to a tea party today. I wonder if they'll like my fart jokes.

Surprisingly, it wasn't really a fart-joke kind of crowd.
And, I had to wear a hat.
So I went with a pirate hat.
Until they gave me a more "appropriate" hat - a typical tea party hat (I don't have a picture of that hat.)
On Monday, I blogged about all the embarrassing things in my house that need to be fixed: 10 Things in My House That Need Fixin'. I was suprised at the positive response this post got. It seems most people could relate to having broken crap all around their house.
I mentioned in that post about my cat being eaten by a coyote, so on Tuesday, I wrote a post to clarify that that was indeed true: A Coyote Ate My Cat
Also, on Tuesday, D.J. at Thoughts From Paris (one of my favorite blogs - he's the guy that pooped his pants and wrote about it) shared my post, What The Space Shuttle & My Colon Have In Common, on his blog. He has way more readers than me, so that was cool for exposure.
In case you missed the photo of the week on Wednesday, to caption, it's here: Caption That! (Round 21)
I did nothing, but eat bon-bons on Thursday.
And, I had to wear a hat.
I'm supposed to wear a hat to a tea party I'm attending today. Baseball hat or ski hat? Those are my choices.

And Friday, for Finish The Sentence Friday, "Speaking from experience, I'm going to give you a little advice on..." I shared about how I Fell Asleep On My Date Three Times.
In other news, I learned...
Just learned tonight that my daughter can stick her tongue in her nose. Our household talents are never ending.

I swear I never knew that.
And my favorite tweet of the week that didn't get enough love...
Some people are like skin tags. They show up from out of nowhere, hang around and mildly irritate you until you cut them off.

If you're in a charitable mood, feel free to retweet any of those tweets. If you're not feeling charitable, well then...
What's Up Next Week:
Next Friday (March 1st) I'm going to be on the radio!!! Vivienne McNeny form The Sociable Homeschooler is interviewing me. Okay, it's internet radio, but still!!! She has an average of 1500 listeners per show.

She's going to interview me about my blog, adoption, writing, and homeschooling for like 35 minutes. 35 minutes?!?! That's a long time. (I better bring a snack.)
Don't worry, it's not all about homeschooling. I could only talk about homeschooling for like three minutes. But if you homeschool and you really want to hear me talk about homeschooling, then I meant 30. I'll talk about homeschooling for 30 minutes. (The rest of you: it's three. Just three minutes. Shh. Don't tell those weirdos.)
The show is live at 11am, CST (I'll wait while you put that event in your calendar). If you can't listen and really want to hear my
But, do me a favor...if you listen (the two of you), don't tell me because if I actually think people are listening, I might throw up. Or crap my pants, depending on which way the wind's blowing.
Well, that sums everything up. I couldn't get all my tweets and Facebook fan page shares on here, so if you want to see those, you'll just have to check me out there.
Have a great weekend!










You are going to be on the radio!! How fancy are you?! I know you said don't tell you cos you'll shit yer pants (actually you said crap. Are you allowed to say crap on the radio? I think you should say 'poop' like at least 3 times while you're on air... haha - no pressure!) but I can't wait to hear your manly voice talking about homeschooling! Don't worry, I won't be able to listen realtime 'cos the kids will just ruin it for me, but I'll be podcasting it afterwards for sure! And if you poop your pants, no biggie! You'll just have more awesome blogging material for sharing with D.J and his thoughts from Paris! Seriously, excited for you lady! And yay to another awesome week on the blog!
ReplyDeleteOk, I won't tell you I will be listening, but somehow I will be, but you don't know that, lol :) Seriously so excited for you and getting to do this interview is just awesome. That said, I missed the Caption It this week, but too many good ones on there already and maybe next week for me :) Have a great weekend Kate!!
ReplyDeleteI totally missed the skin tag tweet. I would have shown it some love. You should wear a pirate hat EVERY DAY! Good luck on the radio-how come this stuff never happened when I wasn't working and actually had time to listen? ;-)
ReplyDeleteI am so loving these weekly updates. Sometimes twitter and the blogging world moves so fast that I miss things so thanks for filling me in! You rock the pirate hat btw!!
ReplyDeleteOh, feel free to just click that little star or retweet button and it'll do the work for you. :-)
ReplyDeleteIt's kind of fun and convenient from everyone else. It is SO hard to keep up with everyone. I feel like I want to read so many people, but there's just no time.
ReplyDeleteThis totally cracked me up!!! You always crack me up. I use the word crap a lot and I was wondering if I'm allowed to say that on there. I guess we'll find out. I hope I'm not boring. My funny bone is not very funny when I'm with people I don't know very well, so it might totally suck. I hope not though. At least I can give you a warning if it does.
ReplyDeleteThis is the first post from you that I read. You're hilarious. Good luck on the radio show and of course you should bring a snack. What's a radio show worthy snack, though? It has to be something not crunchy.
ReplyDeleteWoo you are going to be on the radio how cool is that.............I wish I would be able to listen to the interview........because you are so bloody cool
ReplyDeletethe pirate hat made me laugh. Congrats on the interview. :)
ReplyDeleteVisiting today from Sunday Sync.
very cool... From my own experience I will say, that for me it helped to realize that the fun, in the sense of feeling the energy and excitement will come...right after it's over and you're off the air. Expect to do a lot of walking and pacing...lol trying to work off the energy.
ReplyDeleteBut it is a great feeling.
an interesting part of the process is, (if they do it that way), when they cue you "in 5..4..3..2..1" very exciting.
You'll totally kill 'em
Awesome news about your radio gig!! Can't wait to hear it! (and great recap too...)
ReplyDeleteI've missed so much this week, so the weekly catch-up was perfect to catch up with what I'd missed...thanks! Great idea. Congrats on the radio gig, that sounds exciting!
