Bloggy Business, Good Mail and Other Stuff

First of all I just want to thank everyone who signed up to be part of Mamarazzi's Favorite Things Swap. 102 FABULOUS women are playing and I am feeling REALLY good about everyone who signed up. Everyone playing has received a confirmation email and has responded to it. I am trying to get everyone matched up and will send your match to you by the 15th. I will need you to get back to me right away so I know you got my email and are getting your package ready to be mailed on March 2nd. IF I do not hear from you, you could lose your spot. I have 3 people on standby waiting for a chance to join and I have no problem giving your spot away in order to make SURE that there is a package going out to everyone who signed up. Aren't you glad that I am holding everyone to the same standard? You. Are. Welcome.

I have been SO SICK with strep, ear infections and no voice whatsoever. I have been laying around wanting to be fun but just feeling sorry for myself and my family that has been pretty much taking care of themselves for almost a week. It has been NO FUN AT ALL! So I am sure you can imagine how a little box of Valentine Good Mail Goodness lifted my spirits. Pam from Country mouse, City mouse sent a little love my way, and it is awesome! See...

Thank you so much Pam you seriously lifted my spirits and made me feel so loved! Good Mail has a way of making things so much better! I adore my gift and the chocolate...oh my, the minty chocolatey goodness...VERY yummy!

I am so excited to have 200 followers now, so cool! Kebi from Hanging by a Thread is #200 and I am going to drop a little love in the mail to ya girlie! Good thing I have your address from participating in the swap...be patient with me, I have a few more things I need to get ready to go in the mail and I only want to take one trip to the Post Office...that's just how I roll, I am lazy like that.

Thanks to all of my new followers. I appreciate those who stop in and read and comment. I love sharing my life with y'all and love reading about yours. So far my new plan to follow commenters back to their blogs is working out really well and I am finding balance in my blogging life...that's a good thing. So to all my followers I present Dandelion Wishes Bloggy Goodness Award...grab the code and pass it on to blogs that you love! Ooooh sparkly...faaaaancy!

And lastly...but OH so important, my friend Dana from Just Talk is calling on the blogsphere for help read all about it HERE . Wow what a story...

I hope your feeling better. Being sick SUCKS! The "black death" (code for whatever is currently going around) has taken it's toll on our team at work...Had 7 people call in sick last night.

banananutmeg said...

no love from clovis here, either? Aaron swears it's someone he knows, but I've met who he thinks it is, and if they knew us, wouldn't they have left a comment by now? lame.

Amy said...

Feel better soon!

I am sooo excited about this swap. I know it will be lots of fun, can't wait to 'meet' my partner :)

Supercool Hotmama said...

Yeah for Good mail! I'm glad that Pam is on the ball and made your day! (I'll have to go meet her!) Congrats on 200 followers! I've been doing the same as you... visiting friends as they comment on my blog. I have stopped looking at my reader at all. Now it's all about Reciprocation. I do try to visit around a bit, but only about once a week, and then just to my fave bloggy friends who I haven't seen in a while. Most of the time I find they haven't been posting either. Big Hugs!

Tell J that S says Hi! (We're trying to get our act together. Maybe she can send her good mail at the same time I ship mine!)

Allison said...

I am looking forward to finding out who I am paired up with! I love finding new blogs.

Feel better soon. Early in January, I got the flu, laryngitis, and then pink eye...so I can feel your pain.

Mary Ellen said...

Hope you're feeling better soon. It's tough going when the mama's sick!

Megan R. said...

Yuck about being sick! I bet that mint chocolate helped you get on the road to recovery though!!!

Cecily R said...

Holy cow! I can't believe you're still sick! I have to think your immune system is crummy like mine since you don't sleep either. I swear lately I pick up every germ my kids bring home from school.

And CONGRATS on your bicentennial blog milestone! Wooo!

Kristen said...

Hope you get to feeling better soon!

I'm excited to see who I get paired with!

Yaya said...
