When I was a kid, I was one of those who would hoard all of my Halloween candy until, like, Fourth of July. I’d eat one or two pieces a day until all I had left were those nasty peanut butter taffy things and peppermints. I’ve never been a fan of peppermints. I even bought an old book at a thrift store for the sole purpose of cutting out its innards to create a secret hiding place for my stash. Not that anybody was after it, but that doesn’t make a hollow book any less cool.
Yeah, so, now that your mind is all focused on hidden candy treasure, let me share the real reason for the telling of my hoarding story.
I’ve been given some awards recently. And rather than turn right around and display them I’ve been hoarding.
Old habits die hard.
Tracey at Grace Comes by Hearing and Kristen at No Small Thing thought highly enough of me to bestow the Arte y Pico award on little old Such The Spot. So, thanks ladies for thinking of me! And, for the record, you gals are totally groovy in my book too.
And as if that weren’t enough bling for one day…
Soliloquy (I swear one day I’ll be able to spell that without looking it up) at She Just Had To Say It has passed on this little prize…
Before I had children (well, after Torri really, but before everybody else) I had a bumper sticker on the back of my car that said Girls Kick ASS. Nowadays when I see bumper stickers along those lines I cringe. Can you believe I saw one at the grocery store the other day that said, “If you’re going to ride my @$$ at least pull my hair.”
It was attached to the bumper of a minivan.
KLASSY.
Anyway, while I seem to have gotten over my girls kick @$$ phase, I have to admit that I’m still totally diggin’ this award in spite of the kick @$$-ness of it. Because really, when you get right down to it, even us boring old thirtyish momma bloggers wanna kick a little from time to time.
Don’t we?
Thanks cyber-chicks. You made my day!

THAT was a kluh-ass-ee post! With a capital K, Baby! I laughed my @$$ off! You are so dang fun! And yeah, we Mommas still want to/need to mark our territory by kickin’ a little tail every so often!!
That made me laugh, because my entire high school year book is filled with the phrase ‘have a kickass summer!’
Of course, I never wrote that in anyone’s yearbook…
Congratulations! I also have a couple of awards that I have been hoarding, I should get on the ball and post about them. However, I was never one for hoarding my Halloween candy…
LOVED the hallow book story!
You always kick it in my book!!!
