Awards Season!

So the strangest thing happened Friday night while I was leaving American Girl with my pack of 15 rock star little girls.

I walked out the door, and all these flashbulbs went off and there was all this shouting…”Hey, Stiletto Mom…over here! over here!” I was momentarily blinded and then I realized that probably those pictures that I took got out from that night that I drank all the Patron and met the sailors and then we…wait, this is just not the appropriate venue for this.

Anyway, once I remembered that I had burned the negatives from that night (weekend, whatever), I checked my blog and realized I had won two awards this week!

The first came from Tina over at Adventures of a Working Mom who gave me this on Tuesday.

My apologies to Tina for being so late in saying a very public Thank You. I started stalking Tina because every Monday she posts her weekly menu and she works full time like me. I like to look at it to remind myself I have such a long way to go. People, I have yet to see canned Spaghettios on her site once and it’s a staple in the Stiletto household. The rest of the week she has either fantastic recipes or great stories about her life. I really can’t allow The Man to read her blog though. First of all he’d be all like “Wait she works and still finds time to cook?” and then he’d go farther with, “Wait, she works and she still finds time to cook GERMAN FOOD???” I just can’t handle that kind of pressure. I’ll keep reading though, and trying out your recipes…I appreciate both the award the many great ideas I get from you during the week!

The next award came from my pal Steenky Bee. She and I seem to have developed this obsessive nature with eachother and I adore her. I’ll admit, I was the one who started all this nonsense. I saw her on another blog, clicked over….and well, it was love at first post. I just had to have her (stop it…thats not what I meant) and I just kept posting until she came to visit me in an attempt on her part to make it stop. Sometimes she embarasses herself and her husband . Also? I think her children are baby geniuses. A week or so ago, she tried to take a few days off to get caught up in the real world…all I can say is it was one of the darker periods in my life, I hope she never tries that again or I’m going to have to get on a plane and no one needs me invading their personal space. Steenky, you’ve been warned. Anybee, Jen was kind enough to share this little jem with me.

Once she gets her shit together and makes Steenky Bee tees, I will be the first to wear one and prance proudly through Times Square with it on along with a tiara and stilettos…well, and pants. Or maybe not. Wait, I’m going down the wrong path again.

I know I’m supposed to pass this on but I’m selfish and I don’t want to share. Just kidding, sorta. I am, however, on massive doses of some hideous drug designed to drain my sinuses before my face actually explodes, which could happen at any moment. The good news is, I’m walking around with a little 24 hour buzz. The bad news is I feel lucky to get an entire sentence on paper…it’s taken me the better part of two days to write this and it was an easy topic. Given that, and the very real fact I may make an ass out of myself (again) I’m going to pass this out a little later and hope the bloggy Gods don’t rain their wrath down upon me. Thanks again Tina and Jen…I adore both of you!
