NOT ME MONDAY!!

Inspired by MckMama and her MSC*

OK... so, last week I was sick... so sick -- I see clients on a daily basis and I sounded like a man when I spoke and that's all I do... is talk in my profession -- By Thursday I was exhausted and my mind just really wasn't where it needed to be and I would never yawn 3 times during a session and the client absolutely did not ask if I was boring her and I would never, ever explain to her that I should be home in bed because I'm so sick and 5 minutes 30 seconds later she did not bust out laughing and say "You weren't making a whole lot of sense, I wondered if you should be here today" -- Nope! Not Me!

I am making a Christmas present for Dan (a Shutterfly book of our house) and I had to take a picture of our kitchen completed... Well, I needed it right then, so I absolutely did not hide dirty dishes under the sink, because the dishwasher was not full of clean dishes and I did not pile everything all the junk that had made a home on our island and hide it oh so perfectly behind it and then I would never throw it all back up there... just. for. the. perfect. picture. -- Nope! Not Me! (and this, ladies, is why pictures are never what they seem)

It totally was not worth it, right? ;0)

I would never have a dream about an ex-boyfriend and then wake up, see Dan and thank God I made the right decision -- To add to that, I would absolutely not keep this dream from Dan because what's the point of putting it in my husband's head that I dream about ex's! Nope! Not Me! :)

When I first got married, I realized the freedom that I had to do whatever I wanted, when I wanted, how I wanted -- Dan has a friend, Jerry, that is a little over the top about football and likes liked to steal Dan away for a day or two every month to go to a game -- Last season we'd just been married, so I didn't like it so much... But this season... I would never look forward to a little alone time and I would absolutely, not ever, resent Jerry's son for playing football because it keeps Jerry from being able to go away, now -- And I would never be thankful that yesterday he called and asked him over for a whole day of football fun :) Nope! Not Me!

I would never drag out all of our Christmas stuff and lay it in various places around the house and then leave it there for a week and I definitely would not promise to put it all up while Dan was gone watching football and I certainly would never, instead, work on the computer (on his gift, so I feel a little better about it) all day and love doing it... Nope! Not Me!

I would never wish I had more time to write... but duty calls :) Nope! Not Me!

Have a fabulous Monday!!!

A HOLIDAY GIVEAWAY!

If at first you don't succeed, try, try again... right? So... I tried, but seem to have failed miserably (OK, well, maybe not miserably... but it was pretty ugly) -- Thank you to those of you who were so supportive of Wondering Wednesday (and thank you to Maegan at ...love Maegan for doing a post!) -- It could have been fun, but after a trial run, me see no success (did that rhyme?)

Reason #1: If you tag someone on Wednesday, they will feel obligated to reply on Wednesday (I am of the opinion that obligation is the last feeling one should have on blogger)
Reason #2: If you tag someone... it should be like a gift/an award/a praise of some sort- NOT WORK!
Reason #3: Someone may NOT want to share with the blogging world what you've "wondered" about them!!

3 reasons and I'm out -- (if you still didn't catch it, Wondering Wednesday is dead :) --

To make up for my ridiculousness (um... yeah -- today, that's a word) --

I'm doing a HOLIDAY GIVEAWAY!!

NOT ME MONDAY!

Inspired by MckMama and her 4 incredibly charming kids :)

I absolutely was not told to avoid walking though the mud around our house after it definitely did not rain for 5 days straight -- Therefore I clearly did not completely forget and then did not slip and slide and bust my butt in 4 inches of mud... Nope! Not me!

I did not celebrate my husband's 38th birthday yesterday -- And I certainly did not make him breakfast, give him a massage of a lifetime and treat him to lunch and presents -- He was absolutely not loved as much as he deserves and I was not totally exhausted by 9:00 p.m. -- Nope! Not me!

I did not change my work schedule so that I have to be here Monday - Fri rather than only Wed - Friday -- This was not because I knew I'd have more clients and this is not because I'm completely crazy -- Because now I really do not not have two days off a week! -- Nope! Not me!

I absolutely, positively did not delete my very cute background in the midst of adding a few adverts and other fun things to my blog -- This is because I'm not computer illiterate and I do not not know what I'm doing -- I also have not not had time to fix it because... eh hem, now I'm working 5 days a week (sympathy always accepted :) -- Nope! Not me!

I did not receive an email from my dad (who is not my hero) this week that did not totally blow my emotions out to the point where I was not wiping tears off my keyboard -- It was not not only the contents of the email, but the fact that when my dad read it, he thought to send it to me and that did not hit me deeply -- Nope! Not me!

I did not create a tag for blog this week called Wondering Wednesday and I am not excited about who'd like to do it -- I'm not really wondering about Sass, Maegan and Cocaine Princess and I can not not wait til Wednesday :) -- Nope! Not Me!

I did not read about the family we are sponsoring for Christmas this year -- The children did not want all the normal things children want -- and I did not cry when I read that all the mother wants are gas and grocery cards (um... emphasis here... all the mother wants are the very necessities we take for granted everyday to support ourselves and families) -- So, no... I did not bawl when I read that -- Nope! Not me!

Lastly, but certainly not least... I am NOT so EXCITED about a give away that I'm doing THIS FRIDAY!! and I do NOT want you to tell all your friends about it!! Nope! Not me!
