Blog Name Vote Results

Of the 20 blog name offerings, 15 got votes. I will not say what they are, so those who submitted the other five won’t be sad. (I, the only one who truly matters 😉 enjoyed ALL your submissions.)

The ones that received three votes were as follows:

Chick Kick; Life is Funny; Chex Mix, Chickens, and Other Tales; All Things Betsy; and I Have Nothing Better to Offer.

Next, there were two that received four votes:

Laugh Lines and The Accidental Rooster.

And the winner, with a whopping eight votes, due to his overwhelming cleverness as evidenced in his own blog post titles, never mind that this contest was his idea, no doubt because he knew he would rock it, is….

Chex and Balances, suggested by the witty Mark of Swinged Cat.

I’ve decided that for your “prize” I will send you… The one! The only! Tattoo of my face!

Can you hear the crowds going wild?

Such a bizarre expression. Neighbor made this tattoo from the pic of me taking the rest of my saki and beer “to go” in soup containers provided by my obliging server at a sushi place. Apparently that’s my mischievous face.

So, Mark, if you would like to claim your prize, you can email me your address to parentingisfunny @ gmail. I’ll mail you a tattoo–or more than one. I still have a ton of these things and no idea what to do with them.

And now for a mishmash of random things I saw that I thought you all might enjoy, such as these calendars:

My apologies for the flash shine on these.

Also, my grocery store receipt. Just stay with me a moment. I’ll explain.

Sorry it’s blurry. As frequently happens at this particular store, the cashier looks at my total savings and makes a comment like, “Wow,” or “You did well.” This day I got, “You know how to shop.”

“It’s like a sport,” I told her.

She pointed at me and nodded. She gets it. I do enjoy the challenge.

When I relayed this story to Hubby, he said, “You scoff at Geico. Save 15%? Child’s play!”

My son is fond of grabbing the green twist ties from the produce department.

Modern art by a four-year-old: “Flamingo Standing on One Leg” from the master’s “Things Found at the Grocery Store” period. Seriously, that’s what he told me this was. And I can totally see it.

How are you feeling now my BBBs? (Beloved Blog Buddies) Are you bummed about the contest? Did I improve your mood with yoga pets, goats in trees, and green flamingos? I hope so. Also, do you enjoy getting the best deals on your groceries? Do share below!
