Foible Schmoible

Howdy folks!  Today is one of those days where I address my many foibles.  I have been slacking, so to speak.  The laundry has gotten WAY ahead of me, the dishes need tending to, the floors are icky, and the toilets need some attention.  So, instead of writing a lengthy post about my kids, my issues, my foible-iciousness, or rant about whatever, I’m going to catch up on my Google Reader chores and try to look my housekeeping foibles right dead in the eye. I shall say to them “You’ve just got to ask yourself one question.  Do I feel lucky?Well, do ya, PUNK?!”  Watch my foibles as they cower at my feet.  Watch them I say!

Hey, what does everybody think about having Tim (the hubs) doing a guest post?  Fun, right?  Comment with ideas.  Later, peeps.

Yes! Yes to the guest posting hubs! I would love to hear from him.

And, foibles should cower. Always.

Your husband’s rant on Shmuley just about killed me. Kind of my inspiration. Tim would never say such lovely things about me (without my prodding him to do so) and he’s not really the “writing” type, so I think it would bring a sort of sensory switch to the ol’ blog. His main complaint is “wull, I dunno whut I’d write about…” I need ideas.

My foibles? They were shakin in their boots!

I am impressed with the foible usage! I saw the meme and thought, I don’t know if I can do foible (so I didn’t). Much awesomeness. I have an award for you on my blog :)

Well this is beyond impressive. You used foible so many times that my use one use on my one post seems to be my foible.

This word stresses me out. Say it out loud 3 times and you wont like it either. Go ahead. I’ll wait.

Umm, yeah that does sound pretty ridiculous if you say it out loud more than once. Which means I’m gonna start saying it every chance I get just to annoy the hell out of people. Hubs is gonna love it!

She shoots, she scores, and cleans up with foible-iciousness. Well done, Roxanne, well done.

Congrats on the big word up win! How can I compete when you put up a picture of Clint Eastwood? But seriously, what I love most about your blog is the sidebar “Must Read” bit. Classic.

I’m so glad you came over!

Thanks. I’m so proud. I think Clint was probably the straw that broke the camel’s back.

It’s good to know somebody’s reading that. I thought for sure it would go by the wayside. Thanks for the comment and the visit. See ya soon!
