Reasons #23895 and #23896 I love my blogfriends

Secret Santas, Boo Buddies (our school's Halloween Secret Santas), ...I love stuff like that. LOVE it.

So when my girl Katie, who I also love, had the best idea ever for a swap, called the Simply Love Swap, I knew I had to join in the fun.

It's totally a Valentine's Day+Secret Santa (without the 'secret' part)+Swap combination, and is there much more fun than that?

I didn't think so.

Head over there and join in the fun today. You can thank me later. You know...when you get your goodies.

And if that's not fun enough for you, let me tell you, you are missing out on laughing until your sides hurt if you are not participating in....

Not only did I add new terms to my vocabulary, including skanktastic, whorific, and whoriest (oh, wait, that last one was all me), I met some hilarious new girls and had a blast watching The Bachelor "with" them via Twitter.

Go check out Babbling Abby's post for more 'After the Final Tweet' hilarity. There's a possibility that you had to be there. However, you can...in one short week! Come join us next Monday, but don't say I didn't warn you...pee first. You WILL laugh. Hard. You don't know the cheesy pathetic stimulating television that is The Bachelor until you've watched it 'After the Final Tweet' style.

What in the world did I do without the blogosphere???

A few weeks ago, over on Katie's blog at Loves of Life, I chose to take part in a scarf swap. The rules were that you had to buy your partner a scarf (after being given info on their fashion likes and dislikes), send it, then on October 14, post a picture of you with your scarf.

This was a bit daunting for a busy busy girl with ADD, but I've been wanting to try out the scarf-wearing trend that is so cute on other people. I figured this would be a fun way to start.

I actually bought a scarf for my swap partner, Erin, and sent it on time. I received my super-cute boho-esque scarf on Tuesday. And then Wednesday, October 14, rolled around. I realized I had left my camera at my dad's, but since he was watching L that night while B and I went out for our anniversary dinner, I figured I'd pick it up then and post about my cute scarf that night.

But folks, it was our anniversary. And ignoring my sweet hubby on our day, even for a few minutes, didn't seem right. (Especially to blog, which he complains hints that I do way a bit too often as it is.

So I meant to post about it earlier today, but after work, I had to go see a client, then headed over to see my friend Laura's gorgeous new baby, then rushed home with enough time to eat fast food a very healthy dinner, then head out for my hair appointment.

And now here I sit, feeling very guilty about the fact that I'm a day late and I probably come off as unappreciative to my girl Erin. But if my pathetic excuse-filled post doesn't tell you that I'm sincere, maybe my dark circles in the picture below of me wearing my new scarf will. (Or the fact that I am so exhausted that I couldn't take the time to put on a shirt that actually matched my scarf.)



I am behind on blog awards, giveaway prizes that I've received, and, well, life in general. But at least I have a cute new scarf, and the weekend is just around the corner! Namaste!
