Dear So and So...Happy New Year Edition (I'm officially One today!!)



Dear So and So...
(I know I'm a day early for Dear So and So...oopsy!)





Dear Blog,
Happy 1st Birthday! You are growing up so fast! It seems like only yesterday I was changing around your headers and sidebars...feeding you with lots of words and pictures to help you grow.  I realize I have been sort of a latch~key Momma lately.  I promise going forward into the new year that I will take better care of you!  I will spend more time nurturing you and a new makeover is coming!   I also promise more play~dates with old bloggy pals and we'll make some new ones too!
With Much Love,
Momma Bee
Dear New Toothbrush Holder,





You are simply freakin' cool. I know my family thinks you are weird, but I love you.  I know you are for holding toothbrushes and toothpaste, but I think I'll hang some jewelry on you instead.


Thanks for the giggles,





Dear Teen Caveboy,
Thank you for giving me your old iPod when Santa brought your new one. I loved that you wrapped it too! You are awesome! I am happy to be the recipient of any of your "old school" techie gadgets...I can't wait to see what Mother's Day brings! (hint hint...how about moving your sweet flat screen TV to my office?) Yeah, I know...that's just Mommy crazy talking again:)
Love,
p.s. For the family members who asked for a photo of Teen Caveboy's room re~do...His flat screen now sits where his Christmas tree is in the photo...Will take more photos later....


Dear Stupid Blog Comment Spammers...





REALLY???  Stop with the stupid Viagra and Cialis comment spam already!  Obviously, you don't read my blog or you would know that I do NOT have a penis so therefore would not have use of those medications...and why is it that you keep spamming the same post (Marshmallow World?)  Sounds like you might be describing your own "you know whatsy"....just sayin'....
Sick and Tired of Rejecting Your Comments,
Frustrated BEE


Dear New Year (2010),



I welcome you with open arms!  I can't wait to see what you have in store for us!  We would love a year of happy~happy / joy~joy at the Smith house in 2010!  Please feel free to keep away all illnesses, hospital visits, financial ruin, etc.  (Oh, and go put some clothes on...it's too cold to be running around in a diaper and top hat...)
Thanks for your very kind understanding,




Dear Fellow Citizens of Blogland,



I LOVE YOU!  I am truly and deeply grateful for your unfailing support over this past year!  You stuck with me through my computer crashing, my challenges with Chilly and his health....you are all simply the BEST!
Wishing all of you a very prosperous and joyous New Year!
With Much Love and Gratitude,

I hope to continue to read your posts in 2010. I have not been reading your blog for all that long. I admire the strength that you have shown.

(I admire caveboy's room, also!)

It seems like a lot of blogs have reached that one year mark. 2008 must have been like a baby boom for bloggers.

Happy new years and send Chilly my best wishes.

I'm kinda surprised that they bother spamming you with comment moderation on.

I love when the kids pass off their old goodies. I have a Nintendo DS now because of that. :)

Happy New Year and happy blogoversary!!!

The toothbrush holder would make an awesome scarf holder as well. The thin rayon spring print ones, not the thick bulky winter ones!

Stupid comment people...must be the same ones that spam my inbox with the pill and extender emails. Thanks to them, AND the fact that inevitably most of their communications are grammatically challenged AND the fact I always find the spelling errors humors enough to share with The Grammarphile's site... well I've ended up with a most unfortunate nickname thanks to the author of Red Pen. You'd think with the word LADY in my email addy, they'd know I have no need for such emails...

Love this Post! And it is funny that the spam keeps coming from the same post. I've been getting spam in Chinese on one of my old posts--always on the same one, too.

Thanks for dropping by my blog; hope you'll visit again soon!

Happy New Year! I would so use that toothbrush holder for jewelry. But first I would spray paint it hot pink! :)

Ok, if your family doesn't like your tooth brush holder, please send it to me. I'll pay for the postage. And since I do have a penis, I'll trade you some Viagra spam (I already get Cialis, though the ads are in French) for some Chinese porn. Why is it always the same post that gets them?

Happy New Year

Happy New Year to you too! I hope that this year brings you LESS stress.

OMG!! A lot of my posts have been attacked by the Viagra people! I also got a "Where is a unicorn?" comment.

People shouldn't blog when they are drunk;)

Guess Whoooo's 100? (It's the Mother of All Giveaways!)

(Update! Comments are now closed for the Monster Giveaway! Thank you for participating!) Whooo's 100? I am! This is my 100th post! To say I am astonished and humbled by the incredible support of my blog from fellow bloggers, friends and family would be an ginormous understatement! I am truly, deeply grateful that ya’ll stop by and visit me! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! (I had this scheduled to post at midnight, but for some reason, it didn't! I got up to check it about 1:30 am and discovered blogger's mischief! Sorry if you came by then!) All righty then…do you have a cup of coffee, hot cocoa, tea, martini? How about a masseuse? You’re gonna need it! It’s my 100th post and by the time you are done reading it, you’ll probably feel as old and tired as Rip Van Winkle! You know me and my long winded rambley-ness! (....the giveaway is here..I promise!) So, this is what I’ve come to know about blogging in the last 100 days…. Blogging is like taking a vacation to a place you n...

Not Me Monday! I Am NOT Adding More Prizes to My Monster Giveaway..or am I???

NOT ME Monday is brought to you by the fabulous MckMama over at My Charming Kids . Please send your well wishes for her wee Stellan. He needs our love and prayers. Thanks! I did NOT curl up and rock back and forth sucking my thumb in a dark corner for hours last week because of the stupid surge that sent my laptop to the Geek Squad hospital during my MONSTER giveaway. I would NOT act like such a baby. Also, I did NOT cry so hard on Tuesday (and Wednesday) that my right eye was actually swollen shut for a while. I would NOT be so emotional over a computer. My son did NOT tell me I was EMO because I did NOT wear black all week and act depressed. I did NOT stand in the middle of my yard shaking my fist to the heavens and yell (in my Scarlett O'Hara voice) "As God as my witness, I will never be laptop free again!" I also did NOT roll around in agony in my yard screaming.."WHY? WHY? WHY is this crap happening to me!!!!???? Why this week????"" I did NOT feel HO...

As promised, I’m dedicating my Tuesday’s Tribute to all of you! Your kindness and support has meant the world to me! My life has been forever changed by all of the bloggy love I have received since Dec. 31, 2008. Thank you! My 100th post is coming next Monday. As I shared with you previously, I'm hosting a Monster Giveaway to say THANK YOU for your incredible support of my humble blog! There will be details in my 100th post on how to enter! I've gathered a HUGE amount of goodies for my giveaway! I am taking a poll over the next few days to help me determine if I should break it into several groups of goodies or offer one big lolla-pa-looza! (Just vote over on the left sidebar. I really appreciate your input!) I’ve had a few emails asking me how I chose the items for this extravaganza. I am sharing my favorite things with you! I am also throwing in a few things chosen by Tween Caveboy and Miss Kitty. Plus, I’m adding some fun items from my own shops, Black Crow Boutique and Mon...
