I'd Like to Thank the Academy...

Pin It
I wanted to blog today, but I'm lacking motivation to do just about anything. Which is weird, cause normally when that happens, it's because I'm strapped to the computer. Who has motivation to clean when there are blogs to read and Facebook games to play? Honestly.

So I thought I'd throw in a random thought here. Mostly because I never get witty replies to my tweets and people on Facebook are so frickin' serious about my randomness.

So . . . have any other housewives ever just gone, "I totally wish I had a boss." Cause seriously. It's much more effective to wash the dishes when you think you're going to get fired. This is probably what it feels like for self employed people when they're frustrated. Only they get money in the end. Very selfish of them.

PS: No offense to you selfish self employed people. But really, to prove me wrong, you should send me money. It's your reputation on the line here.

Oh and since this blog post was way too short . . .  here's some awesome stuff I've been given and asked to pass around. Awards. The STDs of the Blog World. Everybody gets them at least once.

Getting awards makes me feel all gooey inside. Unlike STDs, which I assume make you feel itchy.


The Girly Tomboy - my new stalkee, gave me A Blog With Substance award. I'm totally full of substance y'all. It's mostly Pepsi tho.


The Unofficial Mom - one of the sweetest people ever, gave me The Versatile Blogger award. I'm versatile y'all and have the award to prove it!

The Answer is Chocolate gave me this award too! I'm doubly versatile.


A Dad's Take - a male blogger, the unicorn of the blogging world, (and one of my favourite daddy bloggers) gave me another Versatile Blogger award. I'm so versatile that I get multiple awards. And the awards look totally different. Even the awards are versatile.



Jess Raquel - my fellow lover of all things Buffy, gave me the Beautiful Blogger award and . . . you guessed it! The Versatile Blogger award! I'm the most versatile blogger alive. I knew this would happen. I show way too much cleavage in my pictures.


And because you can never just get something without strings attached. Dirty strings.

1. Thank and link back to the person who gave you this award.
2. Share seven things about yourself.
3. Pass this award along to fifteen bloggers who you have recently discovered and who you think are fantastic for whatever reason!
4. Contact the bloggers you’ve picked and let them know about the award.

Seven things about myself. I can handle that.
  1. I can't hold anything above my head for very long.
  2. I am easily amused by small confused animals.
  3. Speaking ill of 'The Lion King' triggers my rage.
  4. My friends are perverts who sexually harass me.
  5. I think inanimate objects have feelings too.
  6. I blog about whores apparently a lot.
  7. People should never call my bluff.
As for the fifteen (I'm lazy and only did ten) versatile bloggers . . .

The Girly Tomboy, Mindi @ Word to Your Mother, M-Cat @ That's What She Said, The British Homemaker, Shelle @ BlokThoughts, Lolli @ Better in Bulk, Julie's Scribbles, The Bingham Diaries, The Purple Diva's Diary, and From Lazy to Lady.

And the fifteen (ten here too) beautiful bloggers . . .

Emma @ Toddler Awesome, Charlie @ Operation Shrink Charlie's Big Butt, Skinny Emmie, Jewlia Goulia, Keelie @ Real Fat, Kristi @ Orange Juice, Merry Mittons, Jill @ Spare Tire Review, Becoming Something, April Showers, and Rebecca's Blog.

And some bloggers with substance . . .

Alexis @ depressionsandconfessions, Dana @ Day by Dana, Hyperbole and a Half, The Fascinating Woman, and The Professional Family Manager.

I am not the least bit surprised by the awards. I love your blog. I also love Hyperbole and a Half. Every single time I read it, a little bit of pee comes out. That was a well-given award.

Untypically Jia said...

Hyperbole and a Half is one of my all time favourite blogs. She drew a picture of the two of us once. It made my year.

The WWE should hire there wrestlers out to the rest of the world. I don't own a pool, but John Cena could clean my shower.

Sandra Charron said...

Ok, it's a lot of work to accept awards, but look at you, Miss Popularity!
PS: I love the design of your blog. I'm having one made by April and I so hope she's the one that did yours, because I love it!...oh, I already said that. Anyway, not only is the picture of the pretty girl (presumedly you) sipping Pepsi adorable, but the content is also. I can see why you get so many awards.

Untypically Jia said...

Aww, you're too sweet. Yeah, April is the best! Whatever she does to your blog, it'll look amazing!

Katie said...

Carolyn said...

Your posts always make me smile and laugh a little. And the thought of having a boss to do the dishes cracks me up! I'm not really sure I would want a boss watching over me do the dishes, but the idea of one might motivate me for sure!

Thanks so much for the award. I'd like to thank the blogland readers for this honor...oh and of course you dear!

Metzgar36 said...

Good Lord! You are hilarious over here. Thanks for following me and I am def. following you back! :)

rachel said...

Hey, congrats on your awards! You deserve them, I'm LOVING your blog! So glad we found eachother! :)

Also, while I don't regularly wish I had a boss, I do often wish for co-workers. I really long for some boss-bashing and office gossip and genral hi-jinx. Like, you know, on The Office.

The Coupon Posse said...

Amanda (myramblings.ca) said...

Thanks for stopping by the other day...thought I'd stop by and do the same.
Just what I need this summer...more blogs to read! :)

Believe In Yourself - Sam said...

Ummm... did I hear you say Buffy?!! I'm a Buffy fanatic. It really is quite pathetic. My hubby was laid up for four months (before we met) and he started watching Buffy. When we dated, naturally I mocked him for that!! Then, he barrowed the last season from my sister in law one day... and it was ALL downhill from there! We ended up buying all the seasons and I have watched them so many times is positively embarrassing!! I loved your blog before, but now I like it even more!! :D Speaking of awards, we should do a Buffy award. I'll work on that!!

stef said...

Your blog is hilarious. But apparently I am not the only one who thinks so. Ha. Congrats on the awards and being your own boss...or not!

Untypically Jia said...

Totally deserving!

Untypically Jia said...

As always, I'm honored by your mere presence on my blog chica.

Untypically Jia said...

Seriously. Office Olympics. Birthday Party Committees. And especially daily arguments as to the hotness factor of Hilary Swank. It's kind of needed.

Untypically Jia said...

Watching Buffy is how Matt and I spent the first year of marriage. I have a tattoo on my back that says, "Chosen". Yeah. That's the level I'm at. I ink myself up to show dedication.

Miss Liss said...

Hey Jia! Thanks for blog-world STD of substance. Is it odd that I do have an itch now? Between my shoulderblades.

Untypically Jia said...

That's totally where it infects you.

Agree about that self employed people.
And yes I also agree about the "don't drink and drive"
But how many listen?
