And the Winner is...Me Times 3!

So even though I have been lacking in posts over the last couple weeks, by devoted minions have felt it necessary to either bully me here by threats and insults on facebook you know who you are and I know where your punk ass lives... or have decided bribery is the best way to cocks me out of my rabbit hole.  Bribery works so does the fact all my classes are done till mid January leaving me time to clean the house, blog, play on the Wii, write more of my books & annoy all my twitter friends.educate the offspring and be the perfect wife we all know I am not.

So lets get this ball rolling.  First I would like to thank you all for reading and putting up with my disjointed, mostly borderline rude writings!  Without you I would still be here, just typing and laughing to myself.  And that's just kind of a creepy picture isn't it? <--Hahaha, look another tangent...
*************************************************************

This beauty came from Confessions From A Working Mom -She's honest and straight forward with her posts.  And isn't shy about talking about the balancing act of trying to be a Mom and a career.  Thank you Elizabeth!  If you don't have this award, please steal it for your own.  Congrats for reading the fine print as to how to get it.  Hard work huh?
******************************************************


I know I am so darn cute, but to honor me with this award...wait it's for my blog.  Snap!  J/K This puppy is from Life's a Beach whose pic as soon as her blog loads taunts me with it's serenity.  Let's be honest, you love my blog cause you are a Roll Tide fan, fess up!  You 'Bama folk can't get enough of my name.
There are rules for this one, and I will be good and follow them. 
The rules for accepting the 'Gorgeous Blogger' award are to share six things you don't know about me, and to pass the award on to six other Gorgeous Bloggers:
  1. The origin of my name.  Mommy Dearest comes up with a differing story every time I asked in my youth.  I figure it's from the song Crimson & Clover, but as an uneducated teen parent she spelled it phonetically.  Either way it's fitting, unique as the person carrying the name and not quite right  I guess.
  2. I once threatened to drown a fellow guard at the local pool.  He was a smarmy asshole who didn't take his job seriously.  You slack off while kiddos or anyone for that matter are in the pool, lives could be lost.  He thought nothing of the threat I would toss him in and see how he felt, till I came at him and checked him into the water because I was sick to death of his trash talk.  He was taken by surprise that A: I could do it.  (Please I may be short, but I am solidly built and grew up with wrestlers as friends, I know how to take someone bigger then me out) B: I could get away with doing it in front of our boss.  The boss approved because she couldn't/wouldn't put him in his place.  After that, I threatened, staff there wondered if I would back it up again.  Moral, if you talk shat, be able and willing to back it up.
  3. Some of my old readers know I am sloowly writing a set of novels/ novellas.  They are a series.  You can find old drafts by looking for the sneak peak under the blog labels.  By slowly I mean like sloth slow.  It's not writers block I have, just the time to devote to them with school and life they get shelved.  Wayward Souls was my first, and has been gutted since posting it.  It's a who done it, till the end.  Because like me, a book can never be that simple.  I'll Be Home, will be the prequel to Wayward and begin the character crossovers and essential background.
  4. I actually used to be tight with the MIL, like almost BFF tight.  Then had little dude and I because the shatiest person in the world.  There are times she is cool again, but I think she was much calmer when she was still drinking.  There is something to be said about that, see #5.
  5. I surprisingly don't consume alcohol at all.  I haven't since November 14th, 1997.  It's a personal choice.  I try not to judge too strongly others choices as long as they respect mine as well. 
  6. I made Phi Theta Kappa which is an International Honors Society for those seeking 2 year degrees.  You have to have at least a 3.5 to be considered, I had a 3.89.  Now all I have to do is keep a 3.25 to stay active.  I hope to.  Oh and did I mention my 2 year program was realistically spread out over 9 semesters! lol!
Now to spread the love to 6 others:
  1. Ramblings of a Crazy Momma- She has stellar giveaways which I have never won, but still think are cool.  And her posts and tweets crack me up!
  2. Tattytiara-even though half the time her blog won't let me post comments I think she secretly has a no psycho filter or something her blog posts are a RIOT, and I can't get enough of them!
  3. Domestically Challenged- Come on, the title alone made me HAVE to read her blog.  The content sealed my devotion to reading her every post!  The fact poor grammar doesn't bug her, makes me think I was totally jipped when I was a sit in class student.
  4. I Wonder Wye- From serious to just flat out funny, her blog never fails to leave me feeling as if I left enlightened in one way or another.  I wonder why?  She's that good, that's why!  A little fact for you, that super cute witch on her button, is a pic of her.  I know coolness.
  5. Smell the Coffee Lisa - Cute family, fur family and all around awesome blogger, letting you peak into her world.  One of my favorite blogs to follow.
  6. Take Me the Way I Am - This is an on top of it bloggity goddess.  She does all sorts of day themed blogs, and still finds the time to create super cool jewelry, and regular blogs.  I envy her ability.
*********************************************************************


So lets be honest, right now you are like super jealous of me for having this.  I know I was when I saw it the first time on someones blog!  Speaking From the Crib so graciously bestowed this award on me and I was all trying to play it cool but inside was all like Squeeeee!!  I have read her blog for a while now, and her posts are first rate and right up my alley humor wise.  Thank you for the awesome award, I will try to live up to it!  Hell, I may use this as my Twitter pic for a bit.

I am going to pass on this lovely one to The Unpopular Opinion.  Because, Jenn is the sizznit, and bad ass herself!  'nuf said.
************************************************
Thank you all for the bloggity love and for reading.  I am out of classes for a while and will try hard to keep up on your blogs and here to keep you entertained!  Muah!

Next up the Nobel Prize baby!

I am truly touched my all that read my blog, you know I luv you all!  I am just tickled when I receive an award too, its acknowledgment that I haven't offended too much, and the devotion to this blog and less to my studies is worth it! This recent bit of blogity love is from Confessions From A Working Mom who is not offended by my blond jokes...yet.  (I can't help it, my sister is blond and we nicknamed her Kelly Bundy at a young age.  Pretty much typecast her for life.  So when I make a swipe at blonds, its really at my sister, no one else who's hair color may fall on the lighter side of the color spectrum unless otherwise stated.  I digress on to the award) {looks for the speech, checks bra to see if I put it in between cleavage for safe keeping...nope.  WTH, lets improve}

I always wonder when I write some of the things I do whether or not if I really interest people, or if I am like a car crash.  You thinks you are about looking, but rubber neck to read what tangent I may have gone on about this post. Confessions From A Working Mom is one of my newest readers, making this award all the more special!  Next up Nobel for literature, I can feel it.  After all it was proven in the last few years Americans can make shat up, or do nothing at all and get one...

Here are the rules of the award:

1. Thank the person who gave you the award and link to their blog. (check)
2. Share 10 honest things about yourself. (check)
3. Present this award to 7 other whose blogs you find brilliant in design or content. (check)
4. Tell those 7 people they have been awarded. (almost check...)

10 Honest things about me:
  1. My name really is Krimsin, has been since the day I was born.  Many don't believe it, and the last name of King was married into, not after the psycadelic band.
  2. I sometimes wonder if I am fit to be a parent.  I am not exactly the most tactful person in the world.  But so far the little dude isn't a foul mouthed heathen, thank god!  When he says something inappropriate I laugh because it was funny act like what he said brought me to tears and he doesn't do it again.  See, parental quandary.
  3. I love my husband.  But when he is home he bothers me.  I like him at work so I can get my stuff done, on my own time, not around his wants and whims.
  4. I hate homes that have bedrooms on the first floor.  Too easy for someone to break in.
  5. I can cook and bake, I just chose to not because it's faster to have someone else clean up instead.
  6. I have never really fit in peer group wise.  And though I can gel when in a group, I always feel odd.
  7. I miss acting, but know my husband doesn't want me doing it so I gave it up long ago.  The haunted house the other night made me miss it all over again.  I miss the improvisations. 
  8. I didn't start drinking mochas until right before little dude started kindergarten, now I am hooked.
  9. I would rather be blogging and social networking then doing class work.
  10. The weatherman thinks I am taking a test for class as I am typing this.
Time to spread the love, if you have this award again, too bad!

So one of my regular readers sent me some love.  I hardly had time to prepare a speech:

Ahem,

I would like to thank I Wonder Wye for this wonderful award.   I would like to thank the Nobel Prize committee or the academy, er wait.  Now, I get to bestow on the others and spread the love and I couldn't be more excited to do so.

 Drum roll Please...

Mommy Elephants Everyday Adventures- A girl after my own heart when it comes to raising a little dude cute as can be!
My First Official Blog-Christina is a hoot and has some cool stuff posted.  For a new blog, it is lovely!
I Hate Whine- Another Mommy blog with a whole litter of little darlings!
Now for the new rules:
When you are recipient of a 'lovely blog award' you are to post it, (natch) - link the name of the lovely person's blog who awarded it to you, and then, the fun part, find someone who doesn't have one yet whose blog you follow, and spread the love. They then display it with your link on their blog.

So I give good blog huh...


So this blog award comes from Mama Mel one of the SITS girlies. She also makes sock monkeys, so she has a great blog and who doesn't LOVE sock monkeys! Thank you so much Mama Mel for picking my kick arse humble little blog for the award. I always get weird-ed out when I get props for my rambles, but since my readership has greatly picked up its time to step up and Now time for me to pass on some love to 4 other blogs. I am picking some of the newer blogs I have come across, it was hard choosing.

My 5 things would be:

2. wireless internet connection on the deserted island, my computer and endless battery supply..solar of course
3. Rather tropical island then cold
4. my husband, and Logan, Sully and his grooming kit but have the chance to send them to a hut in another part of the island if they start to bug me! Corey say's I have to pack Les Stroud too, good thought!
5. And true to my book whore status, endless supply of books.
