Ego is a bitch until... UPDATED

***Updated with the right Moms Who Blog link. My bad. Thanks for catching it Bill.

I'm no Dooce, that's for damn sure. But anyone who writes on line really must admit, if only to themselves, that it's because they want to be read. They want to be heard and appreciated. Sure, I write what I want to write because I need to write, but I've journaled for years. Writing here satisfies my need to put pen to paper so to speak as well as stroke my not insignificant ego. I want you all to read me and to like it, damn it! However, I don't play in the same circles as the big dogs. I read them because, well, for the same reasons you all do, they are funny as hell or they speak to me in one way or another. But I don't network other than commenting (nowhere near as often as I should) and I have no idea who most of you are or how you found me, I'm just glad you stopped by.

With all of that in mind, I was a bit taken aback when I got an email from Jessica about doing an interview for Moms Who Blog. First, yes I'm a mom but surely I don't talk about my spawn enough to garner that title. After all, my minions are well past the cute cuddly crapping their pants stage. We're on to hormones, pimples and attitude. That's not nearly as funny as when a 3 year old says Fuck in the middle of the grocery store, and uses it correctly. Second, why me? I'd like to say it's because I'm a genius and my time is coming. Most likely she googled wrinkly old man butt (still my most popular search string, what the hell???) and poof, there I was.

As we wrapped up our Q&A I had a few questions for her. I got some info about the site she writes for, which I had looked into but wanted to hear about from her perspective and I found out who the other two bloggers were that she would be interviewing. Holy Shit Balls! Not just small timers like me. She has 2 biggies coming up that completely blow me the hell away. I read them and adore them to pieces. You should too. But I won't tell you who they are just yet. You'll have to come back and watch for the link to Jessica's article to find out.

The sweet little cherry on top of my interview cake? Jessica had a saucy voice that made me a little warm and squishy inside. Thanks for the chat Jessica. I enjoyed it immensely. Feel free to call and talk dirty to me any time.

Days of Grace: 24

1. Another advertising offer
2. That I'm confident in turning down
3. Loving that this place is MINE to choose what goes up or not.
4. Being asked to write an article for a big Mom-Site
5. Living so many awesome post ideas that I don't have time to write them

I'm going to the Chapel...

...and I'm gonna get Maaa-aaaa-aaaried. Gee I really love him and I'm gonna get married. Going to the chapel of Looooove.

I've finally hit the big time. I had a request for advertising on my blog. See that little "Wedding Rings" linky to your right. That's it. That's all I had to do. I put up the link to Superior Wedding Rings and they sent me a ring of my choice within a certain price range. That sounds like a simple arrangement. Simple if you are anyone but Sassy.

You see, I am not actually in the market for a wedding ring at this moment. But I do like free goodies. So I made a bargain. If Superior Wedding Rings would let me select a ring that didn't look so weddingring-ish that was above the price range they gave me, AND I loved it as much as I thought I would, then I would write a series of posts documenting the life and times of the ring.

Here's the ring I chose:

It is an 8mm wide black tungsten carbide plaid band.


It is GORGEOUS! I <3 it.


However, it is also extremely manly (it was after all, from their men's collection that they sized to a dainty 7.5 just for me). And since SM's fingers are bigger than my thumb, I decided to pass it on to Thing1. That really was the only choice I had considering the minute this lucious ring fell out of the envelope Thing1 was tongue kissing. Obviously, he loves it. It looks great on him, don't you think?


He has a bit more growing to do before it will fit on his ring finger but at his current rate that should happen sometime next week.

I am really jealous that he has the brand new spiffy ring because I WANT ME SOME BLING! Speaking of Jealous, Thing2 offered to tattoo Superior Wedding Rings on his left butt cheek if they would send him a ring too.

If you are in the market for wedding bands, or just want a new bauble, I highly recommend that you go check this place out. You won't regret it.

*** Thing1 has agreed to let me document the adventures of him and the ring as long as I blur his face in the posts. Muwahahahahaha! If he only knew the plans I have for him.
Stay tuned for the premier episode of: The Adventures of Thing1 and His Ring of Power
