Fussy's Best Day Evah

I have had some good days in my life: the day I became a Christian, my wedding day, the births of my children. You know, the biggies. What about the other kind of 'best day evahs'?

Life changed when I discovered blogging.  As I became more obsessed involved in all that is bloggy, I fell in total love with two women. No, not icky love, love like you love your bestest friends.

In October, Bossy, the funniest gal evah, gave little ol me some comment lurve. I knew I had made it bigtime and I was hot stuff! Everytime Bossy comes around and leaves a note, I walk around this house of little boys like a big shot! Strangely enough, they never want Mommy's autograph. They want things like diaper changes, help finding lost toys and meals. Sheesh. Don't they recognize my bloggity greatness?

Now what do you do if you decide the woman with the best blog ever must read yours? I love me some Pioneer Woman. Yes, I know, so does everyone else on the planet. You know homegirl gets hundreds of comments from adoring fans. Well, I became her full time stalker. It was a risky move. I knew she would either come check out my site or block my IP. Luckily, she's too nice to file a restraining order against me! Thanks, Ree!

My year is goin' out with a bang, Friends of Fussy.

I had to take a screen-shot & share my best day evah.

Luckily, I had my homegirls over for a Mogging Blommy playdate (hat-tip to Izzy). My Homegirls taught me how to take a screen shot. Stop smirking, Internetz, I don't know somethings, 'Kay?

Jamie , Jordana were out due to illnesses & Amy was in Disney- we missed y'all!

Hilarious Lotus, Wonderful Karla & Bloggy Guru Meredith were here to talk feeds, traffic, catty bloggy gossip, church nursery worries and to politely watch me bask in the glow of  P-Dub's visit. It's been a great day, and a great year.

Now that I've had my 'big britches' moment, I'm off to go clean some potties, do some laundry and dream up New Years resolutions to soon break!

Love to you all,

Mrs. Fussy "Big Britches" Fussypants

Fussy's Linkapalooza- Roundin' up 2007

Best of  The Fuss-O-Sphere-

My BFOTI (Best Friend on the Internet, you old Grannies) Christine is not only beautiful, despite the fact she refuses to show her face on the blog, and a retired Doctor -Homegirl is funny. I may or may not have become momentarily incontinent while laughing at 100 things about her. PS- This post would get ya' kicked off the family friendly blogroll, 'Kay?

My Imaginary BFF Poor Soul I Stalk The lovely, Pioneer Woman, got an adorable puppy & took the cutest pictures ever. Oh, the captions under each shot! Almost makes me want to get a puppy. PS- Ree, Give in, read my blog. Repeat after me, "I Love Mrs. Fussypants!" ~Insert Creepy Music Here~

If you don't adore White Trash Mom, your funny bone is broken & if you don't get all teary at this post, your heart just might be all black and shriveled. I'm not judging you now. I'm just sayin'...

Have I told y'all about This Lady? I love her. She has four monkeys, too. Now I am totally jealous of need me some cute matchy-matchy sock monkeys, too. Darn you, Nan, I gotta go buy some monkeys, ASAP! ;)

I am so honored to know & call this fine lady a friend. Meredith is the queen on stylish frugal. Check out her brilliantly frugal Christmas treasures for her kiddos. PS- Meredith stop beating me to all the great treasures at Thriftsmart, 'Kay? ;)

A supa-smart gal in Brooklyn is trying to start her own clothing line for kids with special needs -Autism, Asbergers, Sensory Processing Disorders. Anyone who has a child with or without special needs know the fury terror tears annoyance that is an itchy seam or rough spot where you ripped the tag off. I discovered this thru StumbleUpon. She is in a contest to win big bucks to help launch her products. Please go vote for her idea!

Ann, my personal theologian, did it again. You can read this wonderful post, but I recommend reading every single word she writes.

Love me some Redneck Mommy. Her Christmas Post made me swear we must be soul mates. Her ode to the kids dead hamster made me snort out loud.

SpunkyHomeschool is back! Sheesh, no one even told me. ~taps laptop, "Hello? Is this thing on?"~

Fussy loves Sarcastic Mom

When Mommy Bloggers Have a Playdate.

Lotus (aka- Sarcastic Mom) and I had a great time today hanging out on my couch and drinking coffee knitting hats for the needy. My 9 yr old took this picture of us looking all smiley. Is it just me or do I look like I have crazy-wildwoman-escaped-from-padded-room eyes? I think the sepia is pretty, hides my irish-girl-pastiness, but still can't fix the lunatic eyes!

Doesn't Lotus look lovely? Yep, I know, I look crazy.

 

So what do your favorite bloggers do when offline?

We talked about many of the questions that haunt us so-

1. Why do babies poop as soon as the diaper comes off? -We all know about Braden
2. Why is the super hilarious Lotus not bigger than Dooce? OK, that's my question.
3. Why do we lose 20 feedreaders in a day and then they magically come back? We can't take the pressure. Where do you go? What have we done? Do we smell bad? Didn't we tell you enough how pretty you looked that day? You did look pretty, as you do now! Wow, you smell nice, too. -Um, please don't unsubscribe. We love you!

What? Oh, you wondered about the kids during the playdate?

Kids? What kids? It was our playdate.

Of Course Braden fit right into the house of happy chaos! 

Love to you all, Fussy
