Let's Rock It For The Birthday Beyotch!!!!

First off, I would just like to reiterate that while yesterday was a hoot, the views expressed on Snackie Radio were not necessarily views that reflect the management nor staff, thanks.  Although I snorted water out of my nose to see what had become of my blog, I realize that not everone loves good pube humor...eh, vive la difference!!!  When my husband mentions it after rolling in from work after a 12 hour day, you know it's bad.

Mr. Snackie:  Things were a bit whacky in the blogosphere today - yes indeedy.
Me: Yes inddedy, Mindy McReady.

With that said, I am so glad to have my blog back because all day I really wanted to make a post about ME ME ME but once I regained control of this thing (tugs it back from Karl like the winner in a cat-fight)....I realized we have something important to talk about today, but dontcha worry, I am gonna squeeze myself into this....amazing how I can squeeze my own ass into a birthday wish but you just watch me, uh huh.

Many of you know that Pink Bunny Foo Foo, aka Spynart, aka Kath is one of my dearest friends but did you know that today is her birthday and I am going to list the top 10 things that make the Foo most FooFoo Fabulous?  So go over and wish her a good one, but first, without further adieu.....10 reasons why I could run a website called iheartfoofoo.com (yanno, if I was all odd and single white female and stuff):

1.)  She is the first person that I actually MET from the WW Boards and she and I hit it off immediately; it is a rarity that I get along with women and she is the best.

2.)  Seriously, I need someone as snarky as I am in my life and she fits the bill.  And with her rockin' skinny neck and all....(drip drip goes the sarcastic inside joke, sorry!).

3.)  Kath has an amazing life and has lived through much adversity; I am proud to have someone that strong as a friend.

4.)  And....even though she is strong, I love the fact that she is not afraid to admit to her shortcomings and weaknesses, even when she gets criticized from time to time by random blog lurkers who seem to take issue with her living her life for oh, gee.....herself.

5.)  De La Foo is always putting others needs ahead of hers - not that I think this is healthy all of the time, but she really is a giving friend and is the type of person that will be there for you in a moments notice.

6.) She is one of my group of OG Power Fraus which inlcudes HobartH, flagline, tweety67, Jess, Em, Schmenggy, Aim and myself.  We have been emailing each other for over a year now, and pushing each other to succeed and holding everyone elses hands when they fall down.  Right now we are all part of a summer weight loss bonanza and it rocks to have that never-ending support.

7.)  She is the only other label-wearing, product-whoring, clothes-loving shopaholic that I know and definitely the only other person in my life that may ever be accused of being a princess.....hey, we all need our princess twin.

8.)  She gets along with my family and even had one of her (shhh cannot say the name) clothing parties at my sister's house and really said the loved the fam.  She has even had some shady dealings with Jacob...I think she is trying to steal him from me.

9.)  This girl has it all....wit, brains, sarcasm, humor, a great husband, a good job, a home, a dog and an overall great life and even though she plays, she is as humble as can be with regard to others that may not be as fortunate.

10.)  And here we make it all about me....did you know that I have been taking vicodin for over a year now due to various dental surgeries and then my tendonitis?  Yeah okay, some of you know because we talk vicotini all of the time.....but did you also know that Kathleen has taken time out of her life to research the effects in can have on ones body and reported them back to me...then after learning about the negative impacts and after having her to talk me through realizing that maybe I actually was becoming addicted to them, she stood by my side through this whole last week while I weaned myself completely off of the pills?  She did this selflessly and asks me every single day how many I took and how I am doing with the DT's or whatever.  One of the things she told me is that taking pain meds can affect your weight loss and since I finally stopped this week, I lost 3.4 pounds at WI yesterday and cannot be happier.  So yeah, it takes a very good person to talk her friend through something so personally embarrassing without making her feel like a total piece of shit...and she did just that.

God Bless The Insomniacs Kisses,
Me
