Blog Hop - Share Your Favorite Posts

I'm basking in my last few days of Christmas Break freedom before returning to work on Monday. Really, the transition back into the real world shouldn't be very hard. I'm off on Tuesday. Now, let's link up! Remember, the blog hop from today will be back next week, featuring the best posts from this weekend. It gives you extra exposure for your time spent sharing links - and it's another opportunity to check out great posts you missed.

How to Increase Traffic to Your Blog

How to Increase Traffic to Your Blog (Otherwise known as a BLOG HOP!) If anyone out there has any great Vitamix recipes to link up, please do. I finally gave in and invested in one! I never thought I'd spend over $300 on a blender, but it seemed like such a healthy TTC tool (and, hopefully, we'll be able to use it for homemade baby food). If you've been on the fence too, they're offering free shipping this month, which saves $25. My credit card also has a 5% cash back offer for online purchases in December, so that helped a bit too. The one I have coming is a refurbished Vitamix 5200. Please, please, please be worth the money!

Blog Hop! Link Up Your Faves

It's the final weekend before Christmas. Are you ready? Perhaps you have things that you should really be taking care of before wasting time online. Yeah, me too. That said, I'm looking forward to reading everyone's posts! (And, if you would be so kind as to comment on a few posts, letting the blogger know you found them through LambAround, that would be greatly appreciated. It can be your Christmas gift to me!)

Blog Hop/Link Up Party

Any snow where you are?

Wedding Dress Shopping. Nevermind!

I found my dress yesterday - and it was quite a nifty deal! :)

Wedding Dress Shopping Is Not My Thing

We have just a little over a month left and everything is almost done, with one very important exception - I still haven't found a dress! I've only had 3 years to look! Would it be weird to call off the search and just wear something else? Too bad I can't just throw a dress I already own into the washing machine with some bleach. Geez, there are some UGLY wedding dresses availible! So far I have tried on dresses that were too sparkly, too poofy, too itchy, too big, too small, and even TOO SEE-THROUGH! Honestly, who is buying these hideous dresses?

Time for a Blog Hop

Anyone get the entire holiday week off?

Blog Hop! Link Up! Yippee!!!

Have a fun weekend, everyone!

Blog Hop for Friends, Fun, and (Bloggy) Celebrity Status

We're just a day away from seeing David Sedaris at Popejoy Hall! YIPPEE!! Also, you know that novel I've been diligently chipping away at? The one I've been neglecting this blog for? The novel that's been keeping me awake at night, constantly churning away in the background of every little activity in my life? Yeah, that one. It's had a major development snafu. The ending is now the beginning, which means everything I've written leading up to the old ending (everything) is no longer any good and I no longer know how to end my story. Yaaaaaay! Welcome to another Not "Baaad" (get it?) Sundays link up. There are 2 things that make this blog hop special: 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

Blog Party! Come Join the Fun

Sexy Nerd and I are off to the East Mountain Celebration this weekend. They had me at 'petting zoo'! Is there anything fun happening in your town? We're big travelers. If you tell me, maybe we'll run into each other at next year's event. Have a great weekend, my bloggy friends! And now...

BLOG HOP! Come Party with LambAround

I'm posting this during my lunch break while eating yummy peanut butter noodles. My coworker has never heard of such a thing (angel hair pasta mixed with a sauce containing peanut butter, soy sauce, sesame oil, and seasonings) and now she thinks I'm nuts. Okay, my coworker has always thought that, but she's considering this to be further proof. The peanut butter noodles really are so good though! Has anyone else tried this scrumptious food? Also, Pica seems to have forgotten all about missing her dad . Actually, I think she may have forgotten that he exists altogether! When Sexy Nerd and I returned from 3 weeks in Australia , Pica and Biscuit were more interested in visiting with my mom (who drove us home from the airport) than us. Dogs are jerks like that. Have a great weekend, everyone!

Link Up with LambAround

Do something FUN this weekend. Get off the internet ( after linking up, obviously) and go out to eat, take a stroll to the park, and/or have a hula hooping marathon! I'm hoping to get a certain lazy someone in our house to go for a bike ride with me. I've been trying all summer long, so we'll see how that goes. He enjoyed it last year and seems to have forgotten!

Blog Hop - Link Up Your Favorites

It's bad enough that our Alaskan vacation has ended. Now, I'm sick! Cruise withdrawal, right? Or more likely, to everyone who read my last post , sugar withdrawal. I see you rolling your eyes over there. Punk. (And, in case you're wondering, I've already lost most of my cruise weight. The secret? No eating! Not only does the food at our house not seem as good, but we actually have to prepare it ourselves. Won't someone come bake me some cookies?) Have a great weekend, everyone!

Blog Hop for Fun and To Increase Traffic To Your Site

It's blog hop time! I'm feeling much better, except that I have a headache that I just can't seem to shake. Might it be my braces?? Have a great weekend, bloggy friends!

Blog Hop

As I type this, I am eating the best chocolate chip cookie ever. It doesn't go very well with the chicken enchiladas Sexy Nerd made for my lunch, but that's okay. A friendly reminder: this blog hop is open to any and all posts you're proud of. To share a link on Pinterest, click on the image directly. To visit the link, click the description underneath the image. This linky will return next weekend, giving extra exposure to all the wonderful blog posts and giving you more time to discover links you missed the first time around. Have a fun weekend, my bloggy friends!

Blog Hop/Link Up/McLinky Party (Woo Hoo!)

It's that time again! You know what I'll be doing this weekend? Planning all the fun we're going to have on our upcoming Alaskan cruise ! It will be our 8th cruise but only our first visit to Alaska, so if anyone has any advice on what to see and do while there, please let me know. Fingers crossed for the best vacation ever! Enjoy the blog party, everyone. Be sure to mingle with your fellow blog-hoppers!

Linky Party - Share Your Favorites

I've had too much coffee and green tea today. My intention was to stay caffeinated, but now I just want to lie down and take a nap! As a friendly reminder, you can click directly on the linked post photo to share it on your Pinterest page and/or you can click the title of the link (below the photo) to go to the page. I'm looking forward to lots of new linked posts this weekend to share via the LambAround Pinterest page! Ack...too much caffeine. Have a great weekend, everyone.

The Joys Of Dog Ownership

I thought Pica was bad, especially when she had tapeworms and earmites, but Biscuit has outdone her. I was petting Biscuit last night and noticed a bump on her side. It looked like it might be a gross, doggy zit. Sexy Nerd thought it might be a tick, so we decided to try to remove it. We got the tweezers and held Biscuit down . Well, we were both wrong. Trigger warning...you may not want to read the next part...don't say I didn't try to stop you... It was some sort of creature that had burrowed into her skin! We pulled out a big, grubby, stretchy, still-squirming WORM ! Yuck, yuck, yuck! Luckily, Biscuit is just about due for her rabies shot, so we're going to bring the worm with us to her appointment to make sure there isn't anything else we should be concerned about. Poor Biscuit! She actually didn't seem to notice at all. I did give her a scare though when the worm was removed. I screamed. Nope.

Shame On You, Albuquerque

Albuquerque is full of crooks! People are so cheap & overreact to the red-light cameras around town, even though the only way to get a ticket is if you BREAK THE LAW! Everyone is so paranoid that their license plate number will be caught by the cameras that they go to all sorts of crazy expense to hide their numbers, even though law-abiding citizens have nothing to worry about. Why am I so upset, you wonder? Derek's license plate was just stolen off of his truck right from our driveway!!! We're buying our 1st house right now so unnecessary little expenses like this are especially irritating. If anyone out there sees a vehicle with the plate HFY505, report it to the police! It's STOLEN! Thank you!

Share a Post (or Two!) and Increase Traffic to Your Blog

It's that time again. Not wanting to post my blog hop button? That's fine. But I bet you won't be able to resist my cute new graphic. (Hee, hee.) On a side note, I'm typing this up during my lunch break and am in a wonderful mood because of one of the families that was in earlier. They were just so nice ! So often, I don't think people really appreciate the effect they can have with their daily interactions. It's nice to know this family is out in the world, brightening the day of everyone they come into contact with. Also, today's blog post has been sponsored by The LAShop. Their ad is at the bottom of this post. If you could click it a time (or two - kind of a theme today) that would be really nice. There's even a 10% off coupon for The LAShop that you can use. Personally, I was surprised by the variety of products offered by The LAShop, especially when I found these unicycles: So many unicycles. Crazy! Have a great weekend, every
