THX! THX! THX! I love you!

ThxThxThx: A Thank You Note A Day is a super-cute blog about being grateful for the little things in life. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

Over the Top

I've been plugging away on the little olde blog for nearly two years now, for better or worse. And I finally found out... someone likes me!

She is Elisabeth Wang of Babbette's Book Blog, a life-long friend-like-family I've only recently reconnected with. At Babbette's Book Blog, you can find thoughtful reviews of all sorts of books, and it looks great too. I feel honored and grateful, and I hope you'll check out her site. Thanks Beth!

In order to receive this award, I must answer the following questions with one word answers and then pass the award on to 5 other bloggers whom I believe are also "Over the Top!" (They will then repeat.) Here goes:

So now, I pass along the honor!

First, there's my great friend at Mommy Gourmet/My Original Recipes. We're friends in real life, as well as in the blog-o-sphere. Vanessa is always whipping up delicious treats that make me truly glad I get to actually taste some of them in person.

Next is lsaspacey over at Shelter & As I Said. A friend of a friend, we have gotten to know each other a through blogging, and it's nice to know someone else in the world makes all of the kooky connections with homes that I do.

Next is Missy K at Daily Portion. Missy's thoughtful, quiet words, along with her beautiful photographs are like a needed quiet retreat in the midst of a noisy, chaotic day.

Then there is JenniferBB at Cookin' in the 'Cuse. Hip, urban, tasty, pretty... what more could a girl ask for in a blog?

These are my top favorites, so I'm just gonna leave it a four. Thanks girls, for being "Over the Top!"

A Carrie Bradshaw Inspired Dream Closet

Although not quite as grand as the closet Carrie never got to use, this shoe closet I spotted on Ikea Hacker was too cool not to share!

Friends, this is NOT my closet... but a girl can dream... the best part is that it is already filled with rows of boots and heels in every style and color!

here/there/everywhere...

A couple of weeks ago, I posted an article I copied from Yoga Journal called Sidewalk Yoga. Well, you'll never guess who stopped by and visited Swestie's little ole blog... Sara Little.... none other than the author of the article! She even left a comment on that post. Go ahead and read it for yourself!

Well, as it turns out, Sara has her own web site and blog about yoga. I hope you'll visit them!

Nice to meet you, Sara! Thanks for stopping by... and thank you too, to everyone else! Namaste!

Even if you don't like Eclipse, you'll think this is funny...

I know I've told you about Stick Man Theater and their Twilight series before... well, here's the funniest (if not most irreverent) installment yet!

Too funny!

The Swestie: Photos in My Space

Remember how much I like the photo blog of Todd Selby? Well, I've done my own Selby style photo shoot of my space.

Now I'm not a photographer, and I didn't do any special lighting for mine... but hopefully you'll be able to get the same sort of kooky, slice of life, voyeristic feel from mine.

Julie and Julia

First and foremost: I dedicate this post to my Fabulous Friend and Food Blogger: Vanessa! (Whom I haven't seen in weeks, but really need to do so! Will call her tomorrow, if not sooner!)

Won't waste my time giving you a review of Julie and Julia. But I WILL tell you what I loved:

• seeing Paris in all of its beauteous glory! (THERE's an old-fashioned adjective for ya!)
• the emphasis placed on the craft of cooking (I DO love some careful measuring...)
• the fact that this movie DIDN'T take place in Manhattan (although I do LOVE Manhattan)
• the emphasis placed on FOOD! (I know it's not polite, but YUM! Mastering the Art of French Cooking is now on my Christmas list... along with a La Creuset cast iron pot...)
• Meryl Streep. Stanley Tucci. I need NOT say more... but I will... completely believable... chemistry... Oh yeah... I think Stanley is a Hottie...
• Self-discovery process of Julie... (life is not about my work...)
• what else... oh yeah... this movie is about blogging!

When I went to see this movie with my girls tonight, I had no CLUE that it was about a Blogger turned author before I got to the theater.

Now, every Blogger DREAMS of this, including me... I'm not gonna lie...

I must admit that I've struggled with the blogging/commenting process.

I've run red lights dreaming about about how to create posts that would attract readers who would actually leave comments. I've missed meals (surprising, yes... I know) trying to figure out how to get more hits... but in the end, blogging for the sake the blogging is for me.

I've quit checking my sitemeter (okay... I just check it occasionally[1X/3 months]...), and I post when I want to post. I write what I want to write, and I do it for ME. Right now, THIS IS IT. I am sharing the extent of my creativity, thoughts, insecurities and dreams with YOU. I don't hope for fame, money or book deals (good thing!), and I will not be a slave to my blog.

However, in the end, I hope you feel that this is time well-spent... time that makes you feel a little better, and a little happier (most days)... and (mostly) a little more comfortable being you...

Plz 2 reed mah Twilolz: Updaet!

Teh Twilol gurlz liekd mah Twilolz! Plz 2 go 2 der siet and vizit dem!

Plz 2 Reed Mah Twilols

So I know I've sent you to the Twilol web site before. This is where they are working to retell the Twilight saga in Lol-speak. ("What is LOLspeak?" you ask? Go familiarize yourself with the Lolcats and you'll get the picture...)

Well, in the Twilols "Extra" section, they have fan-made Twilols... so I made a few to send in... hopefully one of mine will get on the site...

Do you have a favorite?

Funny Blog: Stick Man Theater

Trolling along the web recently, I stumbled upon this hysterical blog called Stick Man Theater. They illustrate movies and TV shows and other funny scenarios with stick men, frame-by-frame like a comic book. Of course they have Twilight, (which I really enjoyed... I know... shocker...) but I also loved their version of The Karate Kid. Check it out!

This blog is funny, creative, witty and clever... definitely worth a perusal. Hope you enjoy it!

So you like the lolcats? And you like Twilight too? Check out this funny site...http://www.twilol.com/

The one above makes me giggle every time I read it!
