Not Baaad Sundays Linky Party

Welcome back to another Not "Baaad" Sundays (get it?) Linky Party! I know what you're thinking. There are already a zillion blog hops out there, Lamb! What makes yours so special? I'll tell you what makes mine special. 3 things! 1. This Linky is open to all posts that you are proud of. Did you recently post about a great decorating project, craft, or recipe? That's wonderful if you did, but just fine if you didn't. 2. Do you ever find yourself trying not to duplicate posts on blog hops but aren't quite sure what you posted the previous weeks? Problem solved! The Linky from today will return next week, making it easy to see what you posted last time (and giving you a 2nd chance to visit any great posts you may have missed!) 3. I'll be announcing the nominees for the Best in Show Award in a few days. That's right. In addition to linking up your best posts, you're competing with your fellow bloggers in a battle to the death*! *Battle ma...

Promotion

Just a quick question from Sexy Nerd: Does it make sense to be denied a promotion, despite being told you're currently underpaid/working well above your current job title, because you "don't make enough money" to qualify for the next level yet? He's having a rough day.

The Winner Is...

It has been a close race all week between Piney Flats Style and My Little Blogspot! Piney Flats Style My Little Blogspot Up until yesterday morning, both were tied for the title of Best in Show. At the last moment though, a surge of votes announced a clear champion. Congratulations, My Little Blogspot! And a great, big thank you to all the wonderful bloggers who participated in Not "Baaad" Sundays with LambAround. I hope to see you tomorrow for another fun weekend linky party!

What Snazzy Readers I Have!

Thanks so much to everyone who has commented on my last post. Sometimes, you just need to vent! And, good news, it looks like BlogHer is going to use my review, even though I was a complete flake when it came to my deadline. Have I ever mentioned that one of my pet peeves is people who don't meet due dates? Geeeeez! Stay tuned for the premier of The Great Sexy Nerd Weight Loss Adventure, (aka, my BlogHer review) coming soon. OH NO, Sexy Nerd!

STRESSED!

I feel like an idiot today. BlogHer contacted me to write my first paid blog post ever and I completely blew it. My post was due today. Easy peasy! I even told one of my coworkers about it this morning. She asked what time it was due and I replied that it's just due on the 15th, with no specific time. Then I checked my email and saw a message asking where my blog post was - it was supposed to be submitted by 9am! How the heck did I miss that? I looked back over the emails I'd received about the sponsored post and it clearly said 9am. Quite the first impression, right? I think what makes me the most upset is that this was the first time I've ever been paid to write anything. I felt like a "real" writer. It probably seems silly to people who actually make their living through writing, but with nothing else to go on, it was a big deal to me. I still submitted my blog post, but it was about 12 hours late! I hope BlogHer will still use it, but I wouldn't be surpr...

Fighting with Sexy Nerd

Remember MySpace? I'd forgotten all about it and decided to sign on for the first time in over a year. There was a post that I wrote right after Sexy Nerd and I moved into our rental house together. It's cute, in a pitiful, dopey way. Here you go, cut and pasted directly from MySpace: Nerdy just told me that his mom asked why our house is decorated my way and not his. Well gee, I'd love to use his dining room table instead of mine but, guess what, he doesn't own one! I'd love to use his plates and glasses and bedding and towels, etc, etc, if he had some! He always complains that my couch is uncomfortable, but does he ever offer to buy a new one? Nope! And does he even own a bed? Nope! (although I've been told that he has an air mattress stored away somewhere...) Besides, he says he likes the way that I decorate. If you saw the way "his" office and "his" garage look, you would understand why he has little influence over the rest of the hou...
