holymoleynicoley said...

Damn! How am I going to compete against the comment queen? 100 comments already?? Great poem, although I doubt that the girls at BlogHer are wishing they were home watching birds bathe, lmao. You know I just have to bug ya right?

BTW...I'm starting my BlogHer '10 diet today! I have to love at least 50ish lbs by next year. I can benefit from even more, but I don't want to over-exert myself, lol. If that were the case I wouldn't need to lose all this freakin' weight!

Nicole @ Pink & Posh

Sarah said...

I love the way your top 10 rhyme!
Sounds to me like a great time!
When the clutter is clean,
and the nap is done,
you'll get to watch the birds for fun.
while the second coat of paint is due,
cupcakes await for your son and you,
read a good book and join your hubby,
hosting a pig roast and eating....uh.."Chubby."
"Happy Birthday, sis" it's your day,
Next year, BlogHer and Cozi..YAY!!
