PLUG it in..

...as in "shameless plug"...

what? (you ask)

...as in, this little post is nothing more than a shameless plug for my new little side project.

Because I have so much time on my hands right now while I'm stranded at home.

And because I'm having so much fun in BLOGLAND, anyway!...and I'm already finished cleaning today.

It's new, so don't expect too much yet. (geeeeez! give me a little time, will ya?)

But go take a look, anyway. And make sure to become a follower, so I don't get my tender feelings hurt ;)

Best Dundies Ever!!!!

The past week in this new world of blogging has been an exciting one for me...I've made new friends, learned how to do new things on the computer, and felt the therapeutic benefits of writing.

Never did I imagine that in so short a period of time, our little blog would already be given an award! Many, many, humble thanks to Tiffany at Confessions of a Shop Girl for honoring us with the Bookworm Award.
(no, it wasn't really the Dundies....it was BETTER than the Dundies, and I'm a HUGE fan of The Office!)

If you haven't had a chance to check out Tiffany's blog, do so at once...you'll love it!

Anyhoo, here are the rules for accepting the Bookworm Award:

Pass it on to five other bloggers, and tell them to open the nearest book to page 56. Write out the fifth sentence on that page, and also the next two to five sentences...The CLOSEST BOOK, NOT YOUR FAVORITE, OR MOST INTELLECTUAL!!

Right now, I'm in the middle of reading The Alphabet Sisters by Monica McInerney...and it really is the closest book to me!

The Alphabet Sisters pg.56

"I thought I'd have to start the party without you."
Bett was surprised to find herself fighting tears. "As if I'd let the birthday girl down." Another hug. "Let me look at you." Bett took a step back, still holding Lola's hands.

Okay, now I pass this award on to.......

Debbi at DaisyHalos
RaeRae at PeaceLove&RaeTard
Bella at Letterstomysister
Tia at Clever Girl Goes Blog
The Rangel-Carangui Family

Now, remember that because there are 3 of us on this blog and I CLEARLY cannot accept this award alone, I'm sure Anna and Leah will be posting the sections from p. 56 of the book closest to each one of them (in proximity) as well.

I've Been Tagged!!

Okay....not even a week into this blogging thing and I've already been tagged by the sweet Rangel-Carangui Family . This will be a true test of my computer capabilities as I attempt to get all this linking done without screwing it up =)

Well here are the rules and have fun!

1. Link to the person that tagged you

2. Post the rules on your blog
3. Share six non-important things/habits/quirks about yourself
4. Tag six random people at the end of your post by linking to their blogs
5. Let each random person know they have been tagged by leaving a comment on their website.
6. Let your tagger know when your entry is UP


6 RANDOM FACTS ABOUT LYN:

1. I hate it when people ask me what I want for my birthday, Christmas, etc....I'm a firm believer in giving gifts from the heart that will mean something to someone. Some of the best gifts I've
ever received have cost next to nothing, but have meant the world to me.

2. If I could go anywhere in the world, it would be IRELAND...with my sisters. I'd like to spend
about a month in a little cottage just taking in all the scenery, exploring the country, and
visiting lots of pubs.

3. I can't sleep with my closet doors open...not even cracked...and it has nothing to do with monsters, ghosts, or boogeymen; it's plain ol' OCD.

4. I'm not scared of much...but I passionately hate clowns, oompa loompas, and The Wizard of Oz.

5. One of my all-time favorite memories is the Thanksgiving when my sisters and I were younger and we spent the day putting up Christmas decorations and then watched Anchors Aweigh (Gene Kelly and Frank Sinatra)

6. I love my husband dearly, but if this guy ever showed up at my door, I'd consider running away with him:

Okay, now here are the TAGEES!:

1. Bella

2. RaeRae

3. Vanessa

4. Anna

5. Leah

....I'm so new I could only come up with 5!

P.S. Since Anna and Leah are part of this Blog, I'm allowing them to be exempt from the whole tagging and linking business....but I still expect them to post their 6 random facts. Yeah, maybe it's breaking the rules a bit, but as the big sister I'm entitled to do that for them.
