This blog is for fun and enlightenment. I try not to be too crass, too opinionated, too critical or too political as some of these things tend to drive new and old friends away. BUT, I do ask that you be open-minded and understanding in that we are all different and unique human beings who sometimes make the mistake of saying things before we think them through. Live well, laugh often, love much, and by all means, come back soon.

Welcome Welcome Welcome New Bloggers!!



My Christmas gift 'of choice' this year was a sewing machine and hopefully with lessons you will be hearing more about this rocking gift this coming year.





Hubby and I also received gifts through the mail from our children which we are polishing off slowly.

As we enter 2010 there are a few gifts I would like to ask the Blogging World, especially those that are not here yet.  The 'Yet To Come Bunch' that will be picking up this bad habit.  So if you do not yet have a blog but are considering getting one, here are my demands requests.

1.  There are enough 'Cottage' blogs.  PUHLEEZE... NO MORE!  Besides, all of the names are already taken.

 Pretty Cottage
Ugly Cottage
Going Up In Flames Cottage
A Drunken Woman Lives In This Cottage
Cottage By The Nuclear Spill Zone
A Cottage Full Of Rug Rats
Do You Think 50 Kids Is Enough Cottage
I Had To Have A Breast Reduction So My Boobs Would Fit In My Cottage
My Husband Divorced Me And Took My Cottage
Does My Butt Look Big In This Cottage


2.  Profile Descriptions MUST be honest... No more lies!  If you say THIS then we all know you're lying.  If used, the following phrases will be struck.

I'm an empty nester. (pffttt, we all know that's a lie)
I live with my ELWHOAGHOAMWABD of a husband. (Oh, sure he is all that and I'm sure a whole lot more)
I have 50 beautiful, perfect, gorgeous, well-behaved at all times, glorious children. (mmm hmmmm, sure ya do)
I make and sell cool stuff on Etsy and look just like June Cleaver (OMG are you kidding me??)
I love thrift stores and garage sales. (She's a shop-aholic with tacky home decor)


3.  Absolutely DO NOT use these words or phrases.  You Will Be Banned From Blogging!

It's soooo Caaute!  (I own this phrase)
Just Being Real  (I will puke on you if you use this phrase)
You are my Besties (We're you're WHAT?  No name calling allowed)
Oh, and no 'lactating' type phrases when describing having seen a baby. (It's gross)
Kaaching! (That sooo went out in the 90's)
Farewell, I will no longer be blogging because (Right, right... so leave already cuz there's no breaks allowed)

4.  Final Demands:

No pet photos allowed.
No photos of your home interior allowed.
No showing us all the junk you just bought.
NEVER show us how to make stuff.
No cute children photos.
No recipes.
No gardening pictures. (However, naked gardener pics are allowed and welcomed)
No vacation bragging stories OR photos.
No whining
No Complaining
No Bitching
No Moaning (Of ANY kind)


And last but not least....
Be nice to all other bloggers and never, never, never, ever make fun of them or yourself on your blog.

Any questions?
  Let your blogging days begin.
Kaching!

THE BLUE RIDGE GAL

Ok- I'm assuming that last part was blue ridge gal humour- cause- um...excuse me, but you've broken just about all those no no's....I've seen pets, cute kids, home interior- etc etc on your blog in the short time I've been visiting...
Not to mention if you take away all that, the only thing left would be sexual things (didn't see that on your list) and then I think we'd be moving away from the whole concept of blogging and into something they call PORN? hmmmm...Definitely not my cup of tea- so I'll stick with sappy pet shots, nature shots, stuff I've bought, my crappy interior shots...etc...oh and recipies every once in a blue moon...and if you're really lucky you might get a picture of yours truly every once in awhile too...
Happy New Year!!!
