NOT ME MONDAY!!

Inspired by MckMama and her MSC*


First and foremost... I definitely do not have a very fun post stirring in my mind to tell you all about my traveling extravaganza -- And because I've been away for 9 days, I did not spend all of Sunday grocery shopping, doing laundry and cleaning whilst I wished dearly I could have been blogging :) B.U.T. -- I would never sneak in at least a half hour to read all of my sweet and amazing comments from the bestest bloggers ever ;0) It was like Christmas all over again... Nope! Not me!

Speaking of traveling, Dan and I did not drive 2,300 miles in 9 days -- We are not dreaming about seat positions, air conditioning adjustments and taking wrong exits, we are not thoroughly enjoying our own bed (er... uh... you know what I mean ;0) and as far as we know, we are not crazy -- Nope! Not Me!

I happened to drive our last 10 1/2 hour trek from FL to NC -- I insisted we listen to a Book on CD (I highly recommend these, by the way... your local library rents them for free) because it makes the time go by so fast -- Well... in conjunction with the fact that I was delirious from all the traveling, I was really into the story of this couple who lived in CA and when I saw a sign for NC, I was not confused as to why I did not see signs for CA, then have to shake my brain to remember where we were and where I was going and I definitely did not look at Dan to see if he noticed his wife was going insane... seriously. -- Nope! Not Me!

OK... I. love. comments. There... I said it. -- This is because I love to feel popular I love to know that what I am writing is either making people laugh, cry or just plain touching their hearts... When you're with yourself all day, you can tend to get a little bored by your thoughts, but then, there are comments... people who love your thoughts -- I say all that to say this... I was not totally blown away by everyone's incredibly sweet comments whilst I was away, I did not receive the most thoughtful Christmas e-card from Lyndsey and I did not receive another amazing award!!! Saskia over at Saskia's Spot -- I DO not LOVE YOU LADIES!!! Nope! Not Me!

This award is for those who show great Attitude and/or Gratitude! Thanks Saskia!

Look was Santa did not bring me!!!!

Seriously, folks... I'm. in. love. -- She is a Miniature Doxin (Dachshund) and her name is Elly Mae Coker (I know. I know.) -- This would never be my husband's attempt to do a trial run on kids and I am definitely not blowing his socks off with my mommy skills ;0) Nope! Not Me! (more about her later!)

It is not 7:06 a.m. and I am not begrudgingly thinking about work that starts in 1 hour and 54 minutes and I do not hate that I have to leave Elly Mae here without me! Why is it again that I work? Oh. right. So we can eat. OK. Better go... :)

I can't believe you got a dog for Christmas. Very cute. Is that the best gift you got this year?

Mrs. Not-so-Domesticated said...

Oh my goodness. I love her! I'm definitely NOT a dog person... Shes probably the cutest thing I've seen in awhile. I love the holidays but I'm glad to be home too!
I get my dogs to pose by holding a treat over the camera, it works pretty much everytime...I also take like 30 pics of the same shot just to get 1 good one.
Love your "Not Me's"!

You did an LOT of driving this holiday season. I thought going to Dallas (and back) was a long trip but you've definitely got me beat! Glad you made it safely and had a good holiday...looking forward to reading your fun post about traveling!
