How About Some Bloggy Advice?

My sincere apologies to Judy of Welcome to My World of Dreams. She tagged me a while ago to do this meme and I’m only just getting around to it. I figure I better get on with it especially since I got tagged again by Charming & Delightful!

-START COPY-

It’s very simple. When this is passed on to you, copy the whole thing, skim the list and put a * star beside those that you like. (Check out especially the * starred ones.)

Add the next number (1. 2. 3. 4. 5., etc.) and write your own blogging tip for other bloggers. Try to make your tip general.

After that, tag 10 other people. Link love some friends!

Just think- if 10 people start this, the 10 people pass it onto another 10 people, you have 100 links already!

1. Look, read, and learn. **

13. Start draft posts to capture ideas for future posts, so you don’t lose track of them. http://charmingdelightful.blogspot.com/

14. Be helpful to new bloggers. Remember when you first started blogging and didn’t know how to post a link? Or was that just me?

My Aching Head

My apologies for not making my usual rounds lately. I’ve been nursing a head cold.

In fact, I’m supposed to work tomorrow but I’m sitting here contemplating calling in sick. Why is this something I have to think about? Because I feel I work harder at home than I do at work. Is that crazy?

If there was something in the Mommy Manual that says a Mommy is not allowed to get sick, I missed it. Don’t get me wrong, DH does try to help as much as he can. However, for some reason, the kids won’t go to him if I’m within a 100 foot radius.

Plus, it doesn’t help that our AC decided to go kaput during the hottest days of summer. I’m not sure if I have a fever or just heat stroke. In any case, I’m trying to visit a few blogs a day but I have to stop once my head starts pounding. I’ll catch up with all of you soon!

Until then, check out An Island Review where you can get info on how to win some of these fabulous prizes, not to mention $50 to Olive Kids!

They’re Magically Delicious!

One of the reason I love my job is that it allows me to run my errands during the week. This saves me a lot of time in looking for parking and standing in lines.

However, yesterday I headed over to COSTCO and was surprised at how many people were there. Why was it so busy on a Wednesday morning? Don’t these people work? They can’t all be flight attendants!

While I stood in a long line waiting to pay, I started to get bored. So, I did what most people would do in this situation – I looked around to see what other people were buying.

There was a couple in the next line with a flat bed trolley filled with cases and cases of water, juice, soft drinks, and napkins. I figured they must own some sort of restaurant or store. Behind them were two men. In their cart was a rotisserie chicken, a huge Caesar salad, a bottle of wine, and a DVD. I guess they’ll be having a quiet evening at home.

When I looked on the other side of me, I was surprised to see a lady looking at my cart. What did I have? Three gallon-sized jugs of milk (Baby Bug can drink a gallon in three days!) and 4 large bulk sized boxes of Lucky Charms. By the look on this lady’s face, I could tell she wasn’t looking at the milk.

When our eyes met, she said (I’m not kidding!), “You really shouldn’t feed your kids that cereal. It has too much sugar.” I looked at her and said sweetly, “Oh, the cereal is not for the kids. It’s for me.” I guess she didn’t know what else to say so she turned away.

I can’t help it if I love Lucky Charms. It’s my favorite cereal and I have to have a bowl of it every night before I go to sleep. Strange, huh?

What’s your favorite cereal?
