Shameless self-promotion and where I talk ignorantly about Twitter

It has been a very eventful few days around these parts. I mean, in between Steve going back to work, my mom flying up to visit, being serenaded by a 9-year-old boy at the playground, and Molly losing her umbilical stump, I have barely had time to think about how I'm going to eat that Reester bunny without looking like a total fattie. (For the record though, I WILL eat that Reester bunny. It's just a matter of finding the right time and place...)

Now that my news updates have you all sitting on the edge of your seats, I will confess that I have given in and joined TWITTER. OMG. I still refuse to join the rest of the world on facebook, but I'm feeling very 2012 with my Twitter account, despite not really knowing what it is that I'm doing on there. Not that I post anything particularly interesting or enlightening. I mean, you can tell by my posts here that I am not the "short and sweet" type. I feel the need to describe EVERYTHING and 140 characters is kind of limiting for me. I'm hopeful that I can rise to this challenge though. If you'd like to follow me, please do so. I would love to follow you back. Right now, I am following a few friends, but Twitter has me following a couple of random folks too, and I could really care less what they are doing, sooo... There's that!

Also, I was alerted by Ashley that I have been nominated for a Milbloggie! While I was not sure what that was at the time, she quickly sent me a link with all the details. I read through most of it, but what caught my eye was $250 PRIZE CASH MONEY. (In case you were wondering, that is a helluva lotta moolah for a SAHM who has a borderline unhealthy relationship with secondhand items on craigslist and various thrift stores.) I'm not sure if you get people to vote for you or if some elusive panel of judges decides your blogging fate, but goshdarnit, I could buy myself some really decent underwear with $250. And not just oodles of packs of Hanes granny panties from Target. I'm talking, I could knock #77 off my list and never be embarrassed at church again! So as far as I know (remember I said that I only read MOST of the details..), you can't vote on anything yet, but you can go give my nomination the thumbs up. Here is the link:

I believe my nomination (in the comments section) is somewhere on the third page. They select finalists on Thursday!
I'm not sure if multiple thumbs up helps, but the Big Time Blogs have thumbs up in the double digits, so there must be something to that. I will re-read all of the rules and directions and maybe this is why I stink at making bread? Being flippant with reading instructions? No, no. Surely it is the bread's fault.

Ok, so the takeaway points from this post are:
1. Molly's stump fell off and I don't get skeeved out every time I have to change her diaper.
2. Follow me on Twitter because I have no clue how to find you unless you have a blog with a direct link on your sidebar.
3. "Thumb me" (as Kris said) for a Milbloggie.

If you're not planning on voting for my mama, I will be forced to continue giving you The Stink Eye. I might also inadvertently flip you off.
