Seven things I like about you

Now I have to share the limelight. 

So, you know who else is versatile? That guy over at Ducks Mahal. He cooks, he writes music and he hatches ducklings from scratch. If he were married to a cowboy, he'd be the Pioneer Woman.   

As for Style, this woman has more than her fair share. And she is already kind of a celebrity so she doesn't really need any more limelight. Also, I kind of resent her and not just because she has more nail polish than I do. She also has way better hair.

Still, there's style there, no question. She is also very funny, but happily, I am not required to acknowledge that with an award. I am not that big a person.   

You know who else has style?  Jess. Seriously. You can tell just by looking at her that her house is ready to be photographed for the Crate & Barrel catalog, no matter when the photographer shows up. How she does it with all the kids, dogs, hamsters, birds and in-laws roaming around, I do not know. She wears opera gloves in the kitchen. 

For versatility with nouns and verbs, you can't go wrong with Mommy's Martini, Anne Nahm, Whiskey in My Sippy Cup and the inimitable Bossy, whose expertise goes from A to Zumba, with about a million stops in between.

I must remember to ask her where the idea of  "limelight" even comes from. It doesn't sound like it would be all that flattering.

I am also supposed to tell you seven things about me. But I am not good at following directions. So there's one.  -SK

Awww. Can Bossy say something that sentimental in this comment section without being kicked out?

[BOSSY]

And thank you, now Bossy is in love with Kelly.

I know. She's adorable AND profane.

Well I'm super excited about you bringing up the fact that I have the worst blog ever.

Congrats on your stylishness and versatility...just try not to let it go to your head.

Hate mail is how you know you've made it. It's a badge of honor. Not that I'm complaining or anything. Stylish is nice too.

Mr Lady also digs the Kelly now.

And I sure do just like you so much, it's embarrassing.

After candling the duck eggs tonight, we now have "five" new babies. And here I thought my boy was shooting blanks. Ahmygoodness! All I wanted was one good egg. Now I have all five! I'm so excited about being a granddaddy but worried with the price of college tuition and all. I'm going to be a granddaddy, I'm going to be a granddaddy...

Just goes to show, my fat butt might look like Mel Gibson's, but when it sits on eggs - look out.

P.S. And I always loves me some SK besides.

I'm going to be a granddaddy!!!!!

Congratulations on your limelight!

I love "versatility with nouns and verbs" - I want it on my permanent record. Maybe typed over that part that currently reads: Curses a lot and has tangential reasoning.

Thank you for thinking of me, and I am loving your links. I have to agree with your other commenters that I got a drive-by crush on Kelly flipping across her page.

[Seriously, Jess]

You seriously made my day.

Although, I must come clean. If the Crate & Barrel folks were to swing by this morning, they'd find the aftermath of 'F***-It Friday" a semi-annual, post-workweek event when I say, "F*** it," order pizza, hit the couch, and let the kids fend for themselves. Baby included.

Now, off to scrub tomato sauce from my ceiling.

[Suburban Kamikaze]

F***-It Friday is an excellent tradition. I may add it to the Fend-for-Yourself Tuesday through Thursday schedule at our house.

I am honored to be among such excellent company. Thank you. I guess to deserve it, this means perhaps I should post more than once a month?

Unrelated, can I ask: at what age are the children old enough for Fend-for-Yourself weeknights? I am eagerly looking forward...
