Whew....It's Friday.

This has been a long week. JBB has still not returned from Operation Spoiled Rotten at grandparent's house, and I miss him sooooo much. When I talked to him Wednesday night, they were making a craft in the kitchen with scotch tape and a measuring cup. At 10:30 at night, no less. I am also pre-exhausted from the level of spoiling that I will be dealing with when he returns later today.

Pretty Girl had an innocuous fever and had to leave school. She was fine and returned as soon as we had passed the 24 hour mark. That did not stop my own mommy-freak-out which entails many calls and texts to Mr. Lipstick. How is she? Is she better? Is she playing normally? Is she breathing normally? Is the fever responding to Tylenol and Motrin? Is she eating? Has she napped too long, does she seem lethargic, or is she just tired? Well, I wore Mr. Lipstick out. Pretty Girl was happy with extra milk, songs from Daddy, and lots of stuffed animals.

Hands down, the highlight of the week has been blog-exhilaration. I am giddy and gleeful and I must cyber-curtsy at my two new awards. First, I got some beautiful sparkles from Mad About Plaid Girl. She thinks we are a lot alike and I think she is probably way cooler than me, but I taking this award and flashing it around everywhere.
My next award is from the fabulous and hysterically funny Crotchety Old Man Yells at Cars He has awarded me with the Arte Y Pico award.Now, Crotchety is just one of the funniest guys you will ever read, and I am just blushing that he visited Lipstick-land and gave me a very nice gift. I am pretty sure that I don't know how to pronounce it, but like the selections on a fancy menu, it sure looks good nonetheless.

I would like to pass on the diamond to one of my new faves Kappa Prep and the Arte Y Pico to another new blog-crush Back to Barnwell. Kappa Prep is so chic and cool and pink and green. Barnwell is so funny and very cyber-huggable.

And finally....Have you heard about this movie? It seems to make fun of most everything that's been in the news in the last couple of years. I think it's gonna be a hit. Plus, Trace Adkins is in it. He is two of my favorite things: tall and a man with a really deep voice. Also, have you heard about Brad Pitt donating 100k to support gay marriage? I think this is really funny because I didn't think Brad Pitt liked marriage very much, gay or otherwise.

And one more thing....many, MANY thanks for all the comments on the photo of Sarah holding Trig!

ETA: Happy news! I think I am just going to collapse with joy. Someone get me an iced tea. Thank you Another Online Mom!

Edited to Add Some More: Now usually Google is just nearly all-knowing but this time they messed up and put my award in the spam section. It *could* be user error on my part, what will all those settings and options and such...but anyway, look what treasure I found. Thank you (in a heartfelt and belated way) Twisted Lisa
