I was going to write a post…
about my day. A long tiring day involving hospitals and sickness and sadness.
I spent the day visiting my dying grandfather. The most awesome, cheeky, beautiful man that ever walked this earth. Damn to hell the fate that has befallen him. Lung and bowel cancer. With a side of falling over, landing him in a hospital bed 3 hours away.
But then the internetz smiled on me again. A linkapalooza and email extravaganza.
These people had no idea how I was feeling this week, but all managed to brighten my night.
My awesome Tanis. An amazing post about friends. <3 my lovely. Forever. (and I am totally stealing your idea of lovin’ on the peeps babe, you still love me right?)
Coffee with my stalker, Kitty Polestar the other day. I got a parking ticket. She offered to pay half or in vodka. AND then sent me this:
Which totally cracked my shit up and ensured that Boo will NEVER look over my shoulder while I am blogging again. Yay! I can surf for porn in daylight hours!<<<<<——this is a joke. OK. MPS don’t be gettin’ all excited now…
Then O’Neal linked to me TWICE. The first one she said:
“Well to me it is, and I feel pretty damn special! Look down in the pink blog catalog box on the right. Do you see it??? Do you know who that is???? It is Kelley, in all her pink puffy heart fucking awesomeness and she looked at MY blog!!!! I know, I know, I’m a total attention whore flashing everyone my perky fake tits but this is something special to me. Like a Beatle casually saying hi walking back to their tour bus after the show. I’m not going to wash that widget for the rest of my life!!! Ok, well maybe it’ll change when someone else pops in - but I’m basking in my noticedness while I can!“
Dude. She called me a Beatle. I certainly hope I am John. Cause he was awesome like. And Tanis can be my Yoko.
And then today she did it again, but gave me this:
Does this chick know me or WHAT?
Then emails from her and her and her and him and her and her. Made me laugh and forget my dra-mah for a while.
And then my Plurk and Twitter peeps. Day-um. I love them.
And these people? They could totally be my Yoko too. We could have a love in. All my peeps!
Magpie and Slouching Mom - together in one shot. Someone pass the smelling salts.
How cute does Sarah look in this one?
WhyMommy, day-um. I wanna hug that woman.
Stimey. Pink puffy hearts all over her sweet self. She toted me around with her all the time like this. She looks damn hot when she has just got out of bed.
Backpacking Dad. Apparently he is like the latest heart throb of blogging housewives the world over. Yeah, alright, he is cute. If you like the rugged, doting father type 
This chick? Again, I love this woman.
And this one? Day-um. Is she the cutest thing ever? AND the only one that actually drank out of a glass with my face on it.
And then all the comments and amazing stories of fabulous bloggers as I wander around cradling my glass (or seven) of vodka.
So, my lovelies, what is something that made you smile this week?

GAH… the sweet potato made me smile.. thankyou
August 3rd, 2008 at 11:38 am
Ha! the sweet potato toothbrush cozy is brilliant.
He will never suspect a thing.
August 3rd, 2008 at 11:45 am
So sorry to hear about your grandad. Wondered why you seemed so quiet this week. You should share more, ’cause ppl loves you, yeah? You are one awesome chick.
(And split my sides over the sweet tater!!!!)
August 3rd, 2008 at 11:50 am
…and we love you too
Love love LOVE the sweet potato tooth brush caddy!
August 3rd, 2008 at 11:56 am
You are awesome, for so many reasons. But mostly because you’re not afraid to just be you.
I’ve had to make my LiveJournal friends only so you won’t be able to visit me, but don’t panic, I know you love me ;o)
Also my husband has started blogging again if you’re interested in paying him a visit: http://www.esinner.com
August 3rd, 2008 at 12:00 pm
It’s been a shitty week… I’m still waiting.
August 3rd, 2008 at 12:42 pm
You always make me smile.
The toothbrush holder, though = pure genius.
Smootches!
August 3rd, 2008 at 1:05 pm
So much here to comment on:
1. Cancer fucking sucks. Can’t come up with anything more on that one.
2. Totally love the yammy toothbrush holder. You need one that won’t rot though. Thinking about how to make that happen.
2. The liquor store was out of my fave orange twist vodka so I tried the strawberry. Looks like strawberry in the pic with the brownies. Supersize that chocolate and vodka and everything will be alright.
4-I think. Trouble keeping track of the numbers, totally blame the vodka. BlogHer sounds awesome, but so many are refering to Blogerbola or something. Going as a picture evidently keeps you from catching it!
And lastly, what made my week? Kids. Work, yeah really. And definitely you commenting my dumbass blog. Thanks.
August 3rd, 2008 at 1:06 pm
What made me smile this week? Wearing my new Crocs and imagining the look on your face. And then smacking me with them. LOL! You make me smile, dearie!
August 3rd, 2008 at 1:25 pm
mwah.
and an extra one for calling me cute.
August 3rd, 2008 at 1:46 pm
This week….hmmm….my 2 year old whispering I love you to me after I whispered it to her.
August 3rd, 2008 at 2:58 pm
My kiddo singing ‘appy bidday to lou’ ten inserting her own name, when apparopriate. to herself. alone in the crib. at bedtime.
August 3rd, 2008 at 5:50 pm
Those days in hospital suck.
Big hugs for you and hooray for the internet love
Toothbrush holder is the best ever.
August 3rd, 2008 at 6:07 pm
What made me smile this week?
Being called “rugged” and “heartthrob”. :}
I’m just a geek, ma’am. A geek with a computer.
August 3rd, 2008 at 6:42 pm

Sorry to hear your G’dad isn’t well. … bowel cancer is something my Dad is also dealing with at the moment (although we hope he’ll recover fully in time). Hugs to you and your G’dad.
August 3rd, 2008 at 11:16 pm

one thing that made me smile this week? asked the munchkin what she wanted for supper one night…her response in all seriousness — “MILKSHAKES!”
August 4th, 2008 at 12:25 am
Things that made me smile:
1) You…always
2) watching little kids frolicking in the ocean…not a care in the world
3) reading, reading, reading in the sun
I feel your pain for your grandpa…lost my mom,uncle and aunt (her brother and sister) all to cancers within 18 months of each other…love grandpa as much as you can…it is worth the time and mental energy….you know all your ‘peeps’ are thinking abot you and are sending positive energy your way.
August 4th, 2008 at 12:57 am
That looks so much better than the crap I see at fair stalls! LOL
August 4th, 2008 at 1:04 am
1. My kids! Especially when Blue said innocently “Look Mommy, I have 3 legs!” I turned to see him with an inflatable baseball bat wedged between his legs and the floor. Tea comes out of my nose almost as much as it goes in my mouth!
2. Our SUPER hottie mailman locking his keys in his mail truck and me getting to be the one to rescue him with a cordless phone & an XL glass of my famous iced tea.
3.Going out drinking with the girls. White people + liquor=you tube in the morning.Oh,and me not getting beat down for taping it.
4. Will over on Redneck Mommy’s comment page telling Ron the Roid he could come play a rousing game of hide & go fuck yourself. Tea & nose thing AGAIN.
5. Sweet tater toothbrush holder.
6.Early birthday presents & Turning 28 and still having “it” enough to drink free all night.
7. New guy at the bank refunding $60 in overdraft fees - totally taking him brownies.
8. Finding out Australians have steamy hot Christmasii and the mental image of Santa in a fur trimmed speedo.
9. You wanting to be my fav Beatle.
10. You totally pimp’n me out on your page! Thanks for the love!!! You rock the block!
(Had to make this an even 10 to appease the OCD gods)
August 4th, 2008 at 1:24 am
Oh, that sweet potato toothbrush holder is teh awesome!
And, you, Kelley. You’re what makes me smile. Every time I read your blog.
(also getting up to 5 subscribers on google reader made me smile…I know, I’m a total loser, but what can I say, I’m a comment whore.)
August 4th, 2008 at 1:40 am
Damn that Backpacking Dad is a hot piece of ass…
er, no, wait…
August 4th, 2008 at 1:48 am
Sharing a few Tweets with you last night made me smile.
August 4th, 2008 at 1:51 am
I laughed out loud at the sweet potato toothbrush holder.
You must use it.
August 4th, 2008 at 2:21 am
Sorry about your Grandpa. I know exactly what it’s like.
I’m glad you have so much love and support, beautiful lady.
August 4th, 2008 at 5:12 am
Sorry about your grandfather, I went to visit mine yesterday (he’s also dying), and it’s soooo hard! I can relate.
That sweet potato made me smile, lol, how freaky!!
August 4th, 2008 at 5:37 am
You know, at first blush I thought she’d sent you a sex toy.
August 4th, 2008 at 9:41 am

August 4th, 2008 at 4:37 pm
Being mistaken for an 18 year old (it’s in the blog, of course) … having my baby girl call me, “Princess Beautiful Mommy” today … having the life hugged out of me by a good friend I’ve lost contact with for a few months and thought I might never will again … your grocery store post yesterday …
I’m so sorry to hear about your grandfather, Ninja
But so happy you’re still smiling and shining on.
xo
August 5th, 2008 at 1:32 am
I’m sending all my very best, top-quality love across the pond to you, my dear!
Hospitals/death = Horrible.
I was in your shoes a couple of weeks ago, and I sympathize. It’s never easy, and I sincerely hope that your grandfather is as comfortable as possible… it is obvious that he is loved.
Tonight I will drink vodka and eat chocolate in celebration of your awesomeness (not like I wasn’t going to do exactly that anyway, but it’s the thought that counts, right?)
August 5th, 2008 at 2:35 am
You just did, buddy. You just did.
Oh, and mini-golf with my peeps:
http://meandyouandellie.blogspot.com/2008/08/putt-putt.html
August 5th, 2008 at 3:11 am
On your grandfather “That’s a bummer, man” (I always quote The Dude from Big Lebowski when confronted with death…)
I’d use a live bees nest for my tootbrush. That way you gotta really wanna have clean teeth and gums, not just some damn wannabe!
Oh, and I cut out your picture too and took it with me. It’s fun to put them over the criminals on those post office wanted posters! ha ha ha. I just crack myself up…
August 5th, 2008 at 3:48 am
I am SO sorry about your grandpa..I hope he is at peace and confortable. Hugs and Kisses to you.
Since they are STILL working on my bathroom and I had to brush my teeth in the basement this morning I just laid my toothbrush on the washing machine. DAMN I wish I would have though of hollowing out a potato…
PS..You are SO Paul… I know that’s not what you wanted to hear…but you don’t have a whore on your arm so it’s hard to tell..
August 5th, 2008 at 11:26 am
God, I miss so much when I go away!
I am so very sorry about your grandfather! You are all in my thoughts and prayers.
Thinking of you, taking shots of chocolate vodka, and burning my children’s crocs in your honor!
August 5th, 2008 at 12:05 pm
I smile every time I come and pay you a visit here on the blog. For reals.
August 5th, 2008 at 12:57 pm
OMG, the SWEET POTATO BRUSH GUARD! Peeplz love you!
August 5th, 2008 at 2:04 pm
Wow. Lots of lovin’ for one post! That’s good stuff . . .
Sorry about grandpa. But, so glad you have time with him.
Love the sweet potato t-brush holder. Brilliant! Don’t know why, but it just is.
August 5th, 2008 at 6:07 pm
Does this mean the little man no longer has a sphincter scrubber due to the mud spud?
How the hell is he going to get that ‘ring of confidence’ now?
August 6th, 2008 at 3:23 am
You. Totally you.
You were such a topic of conversation at BlogHer … it was especially fun to meet other women who said “Oh yeah, we know Kelley!”
My heart is with you this week as you deal with your grandfather’s cancer….
August 6th, 2008 at 3:33 am
This made me happy: http://www.newsweek.com/id/150240/>1=43002
It’s croc bashing story that made me think of you.
August 6th, 2008 at 11:09 am
I just came across your blog thru Good Mom/Bad Mom, and I really like your style.
One thing that made me happy: Made an awesome connection with a long lost friend.
August 6th, 2008 at 2:52 pm
You are one of the major things that makes me smile! And the sweet potato toothbrush holder - that may be the best and most thoughtful gift I’ve ever seen, certainly the most hilarious. Sorry to hear about your grandpa. My gram is 91 and also failing. It’s so sad and so hard to know what to do to help. Sending lots of love your way.
August 13th, 2008 at 12:15 pm
guh. I still owe you photos. or vodka. or whatever.
