Nothing says Easter like TWSS, Tacky Onassis & The Cougar

Hopefully by the time you're reading this, you've roused from your post-Easter/Passover food coma and are back among the living.

(I, however, am stuffed to the gills. Too much wedding soup. And ricotta pie. And chocolate-covered strawberries. And ham. And Pringles.)

As always, my family's holiday get-together did not disappoint. Besides the gorge fest (two meals at two houses within two hours), we had lots of laughs:

• Helping my cousin's daughter prepare for her upcoming First Communion by practicing with jelly beans. Since she had the standard procedure down, we added levels of difficulty as we went along, including having her accept the jelly beans with her elbows touching and making her point her toe like she was a QVC model while saying "Amen."


• Making inappropriate "that's what she said" jokes all day with Brissy and my parents. (In case you didn't notice, I gave up saying TWSS for Lent. Man, that was hard. TWSS. Yessss!!!) My fave was when we TWSS'd blogparents' friend after she said the following about our homemade wedding soup: "Mmm. I love these little balls."


• Brissy reminding me of last Easter, when blogmom emerged from her room wearing some sort of zebra-print swing coat and the name "Tacky Onassis" was born. (I wish I were as witty as that damn bitch. He's so funny.)

And, in between all of the holiday craziness, we saw a preview of the newest reality show coming out this week: The Cougar. Have you seen this stuff? WTF is television coming to?

(Don't get me wrong. I'll probably watch at least one episode.)

So then the discussion ensued... what's your definition of a "cougar"?

P.S. Thanks to Dolce, who gave me a blogger award last Friday. Fun! I haven't had a chance to think about what I'm going to write yet, so go check out her blog in the meantime. Thanks again, Dolce!

I'm just too cute!

OK, maybe I'm not too cute. (I mean, could there even BE such a thing?)
But I guess my blog is too cute. At least, according to Medicated and Motivated it is. Thanks, sweets!

These are the instructions: Pass this along to 10 bloggers who make you feel special. (Well, at least someone is making me feel special right now... 'cuz there certainly aren't any boys in my life right now!)

Anyhow, I'll list 10 bloggers who I really like (either as people or bloggers -- or both!). Check out their blogs and let them know they make you all warm and fuzzy inside too!

(And with the weather the way it is right now, you should take any chance you can to warm up!!)

Anyhow, here are 10 blogs I like to read:

1. cleveland's a plum (Alexa, please note that I did not use any capital letters)


2. I Heart Cleveland (don't ever say you can't find something to do in Cleveland after you read this blog)


3. Postcards from Christina (for those who love to travel -- and EAT!)


4. Simply Married (a little glimpse into the world of newlyweds... I should be there in, oh, about 17 years!)


5. Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Your Boyfriend (just like me... except she's got a BF now)


6. Confessions of a Cohabitant (just like me... except she's got a BF AND she lives with him)


7. That Blue Yak (just started reading this one, but I think he's so funny!)


8. Secret Life of Tova Darling (I love how she's anonymous too!)


9. La Dolce Vita (some funny stories here, peeps -- check out the holiday party post)


10. Shallow and Very, Very Single (I LOL every time I read her posts... and I'm not JK-ing you, FYI)

Anyhow, happy weekend, everyone! At least if it's too cold to go outside you've got some new blogs to check out!

If your blog is listed above, feel free to post this on your site and pass it along to your fave blogs. (But I know you guys all have much more fun blogs than mine, so you're probably sick of getting these blog awards anyhow. And I'm too lazy to post a comment on all of your blogs letting you know I listed you here... so I hope you found out through analytics or something!)
