Presents for my lovelies.
As I sit here with an overwhelmed, overloaded with junk food from a party where in a weak moment I threw caution (and any hope of sleep tonight) to the wind and said ‘what the hell eat what you want’, bouncing off the walls with red ears and face, farting like Satans spawn little boy I have been thinking about you all.
I have been overwhelmed by the support and love of the internets.
Everyday someone emails me saying that I put a smile on their face or a spurt of coffee on their keyboard.
Everyday someone mentions that my miserable existence brightens their day.
Everyday I feel the love of the blogosphere and I want to send you money and shoes.
But seeing I have no money and there is no way in HELL I am parting with my shoes, I thought I would give you a little something.
Consider it an early Christmas present for the wonderful people all over the world that visit my little corner of the internet and make me squeal with delight when I see your comments or mention of me on your blogs that I stalk visit.
So without further ado, I present you the Blog Bling.
I made it all myself.
Yeah, alright. We all know how freaking clueless I am (right Veronica?;) ) so Moo did it. But it was my idea! Honest. Truly. I dragged her away from playing Sims or Quiddich World Cup or chatting up a 40 year old man in his underpants on Myspace or somesuch and made her with the threat of no Santa asked her to help me design it.
Now the explanation. When the girls and I want to express our mutual admiration in public we say ‘Less than Three’. If you look at it sideways:
<3
It looks like a heart. So I heart you.
And I do. Every one of you. Even the hundreds of lurkers (I know you are there…. bwaaaa haaa haaa!) and if you poke out your head and leave a comment you can have one too!
So here is the list of the first ‘I less-than-three your Blog!’ recipients in absolutely NO particular order …..
Drumroll please…..
Once you take your button you need to do the usual crap, pass it on and link back here from whence it came so I can check up on you see how the love is traveling around the blogosphere and explain what it means for the idiots people that don’t know that expression.
Now this took me all fucking night (c’mon I had to slip it in here somewhere, I am trying to break the Guinness Book Of Records record for the pottiest mouthed Mummy on the planet) so pass it on to the blogs you deem worthy.
And if you don’t I will send that Ninja chick and her minions Stealth Ninja Moves Boy and Ninja Biatch to steal your Christmas trees.
*************
Now I don’t expect you to tag 28 people. I did 28 in honour of Boo as it is his favourite number. I also understand that a lot of people don’t do ‘buttons’ and will not want to play well that freaking sucks big fat hairy bleeding haemorroids that is OK. Just know that I lurve you!
And no sulking if I forgot you today. I will fling you some bling ASAP.
**************
edited to add:
If the link to your blog is not working, shoot me an email (’Talk to me’ up the top there) and I will fix it. I was a bit tired last night 
Veronica and Riayn, I am on it and will fix your links today sometime after I clean all the chocolate off the walls that Boo found in the middle of the night. At least it wasn’t shit and toothpaste!!!!

December 9th, 2007 at 9:57 am
Thank you so much for the bling!
Still not sure if the link to my blog in the comments is working correctly now though.
December 9th, 2007 at 10:48 am
It better not be in any particular order, since I am not at the top
December 9th, 2007 at 11:33 am
Hey thanks. I’ve never had a bling before. I hope my girlfriend doesn’t know…
December 9th, 2007 at 11:56 am
Lisa: Will be emailing you shortly.
Slouching Mom: Thankyou. Now I have something in my eye…. I really should get that seen to, it is happening a lot lately
Maddy: *snort* Well YOU would know what my life is like
Stimey: Thanks gorgeous. There goes that eye again…..
Kim: I am coming on over in a minute. I better see it taking pride of place! The ninjas are ready….
Tiffany: I’ll take the praise. I mean *I* thought of it. Doesn’t matter that Moo did all the hard work does it?
Veronica: As soon as I finish cleaning the piss outta the lounge in Boo’s room I am right on it!
Riayn: Your welcome. Just checked and YAY the link is working. Will update my links ASAP.
Fab: Always one whinger isn’t there…. You are tops to me.
VE: I rang her just after you got off the phone with my mum. She says you are very naughty and she wrote to Santa and told him to give you coal for Christmas. So be thankful for the bling. Cause that is all you are getting!
December 9th, 2007 at 12:23 pm
Darlin, you are soooo sweet, and I love it and will display it on my hot love page. Tell Moo I really like the design. And Less than 3, is just, way to fucking cool.

Lurv ya.
December 9th, 2007 at 12:36 pm
D’oh, now I get the cryptic message you sent me in an email. I figured it was good though. Back at ya babe <3
December 9th, 2007 at 2:13 pm
um, I just came over here after seeing that I made you sick. Sorry! I poked around, and now you’ve gone and made me spit my wine (it’s after 10PM here and I am trying to come off of an “I-just-made-chocolate-peanut-clusters-that-I have-to-give-to-ungrateful-people (aka hubby’s coworkers)-for-presents-but-I-better-eat-a-few-to-make sure-they-are-good” high).
December 9th, 2007 at 2:19 pm
Kelley - are you never going to run out of ways to surprise and delight me?????
You are amazingly creative you know. What a wonderful way to express to your teenage girls that you love them!!! I am in awe! You’re a fantastic mum you know! 
I will wear your bling with pride (love hearts come a very close second in my mind to having REAL smileys!!!!!)
December 9th, 2007 at 2:40 pm
Okay - I’ve just figured out I don’t know how to do this on wordpress!!!! On blogger I just saved it to my computer and then uploaded it into the page I was writing. Somebody help me please…….
December 9th, 2007 at 2:47 pm
I’m so glad you have touched (sounds sick) so many people!! You really are a love
December 9th, 2007 at 3:05 pm
Ree: Yeah well I told her *snigger* but changed it to freaking….. Hot love page? Sounds fantastic!
Meg: *snort* was wondering why you didn’t email me back with WTF?
Ange: Yeah, I gotta make some of those. perhaps I need that snot extractor to give em some extra smoothness….. *shudder*
Lightening: Have you worked it out yet? Shoot me an email if you haven’t and I will walk you through it. That is if .com and .org are the same!
Boneblower: What happened to Rose?
December 9th, 2007 at 5:07 pm
I <3 the “less than 3″ idea. Slightly disappointed I didn’t make the list, but I’ll shake it off.
December 9th, 2007 at 7:36 pm
Thanks so much! After a whole weekend of work and no blogs, this is a wonderful suprise. And of course, I <3 you, too. (”Too” geddit? No? Anyway.)
December 9th, 2007 at 9:14 pm
Guess what… I have crossed over from the dark side and am now dabling at wordpress!
Now I just have to work out that whole side bar whosis and I’ll be laughing like a fat, hairy green spider…

You have just made my day, as you do every day! I just got done yelling at my teenagers to go outside and navigate the icy roads as they do laps up and down our street because I am so mad at them and they are too big to take over my knee, which I totally would if I could because they deserve a good spankin’!!
Anyway, thank you for the love, I so needed it.
I love you too!
December 10th, 2007 at 2:04 pm
lmao. When you said you lost a kilo I died laughing. I forgot our measurements are different and losing a kilo here is reference to losing drugs. too much
December 10th, 2007 at 7:08 pm
Well Tiff passed on a <3 to me so I simply had to comr and check out it’s source and ooh you made me smile and even giggle out loud so I will definitely be back! thanks!
December 11th, 2007 at 1:07 am
Fuck me! How did I miss this one? You flatter me ambassador!
Thank you lots, I will endeavour to sort out something clicky… don’t hold your breath because I’m really shit at a lot of things, things like this particularly and blue would not suit you… I’ll try though even if it just gets done in a post!
Ta luv
Cheers

I like that - you are clever.
December 11th, 2007 at 11:28 am
Damnit, where is my “I’m cool” tshrit?
December 11th, 2007 at 5:00 pm
Oh sweetie, you so rock!
I am so very honored to get one of the originals!
And there is nothing quite like a fantastic haircut, is there!
Smooches!

your ‘less than 3′ award is fantastic! I’m glad I was able to track it back to you and discover your blog in the process! Val
December 14th, 2007 at 1:46 pm
I love your award. It’s so cute. Also, I’m glad I found your blog! It’s always good to be in the company of another potty mouthed mommy. We trashmouths need company!
haha
December 17th, 2007 at 11:25 am
Oh, I less than three you, too!
December 18th, 2007 at 12:18 pm
Oh. I get it now. I’ve seen this in a few places and had NO idea what it meant. I’m so pathetic sometimes. This is a great idea.
December 25th, 2007 at 2:56 pm
Okay, this is the funniest description of blog bling I’ve ever seen
