And the Blog Award goes to....

Toby! For being a great reason to start a blog!

Georgia brought up the idea of blog awards.... very interesting. What
are some awards we could offer?
I used to win awards. Spelling bees and presidencies and such...
elementary school.
Do you know I consider participation ribbons socialism? Just award
everyone... no high achiever award only....
I used to go to the Houston area spelling bee and get beat by a Chinese
kid. Now, that sounds more interesting than it is. I mean, he would win
the competition, not pummel me. Clarification was necessary, I feel.
I have never won a trophy. Only ribbons.... I guess trophies are for
sports, and I do not excel at sports, to put it kindly.
Piney Woods used to have Field Days, where all day long you did sports
and tournaments and whatnot. I often scored the coveted position of
scorekeeper. It's amazing how much energy I have expended in my life
just AVOIDING playing sports.
You don't really get ribbons or trophies when you grow up. Maybe
certificates. But they're always things like You've Completed
Foundations! and your husband just throws them away.

Sigh... Maybe I'll get myself a trophy over at Brauns. And I'll keep it
at the Hernandez's house so it's safe.

G- that post earlier was a startlingly accurate depiction of my day

Georgia said...

I thought I could do it.

Georgia said...

Im sorry, Josh, I only looked at the last one for the night. You are right. You beat Beebow to lsat, because she was after midnight. Wow, I think I could get lsat. I am up a lot at that time.

jess said...

I never got perfect attendance in my life.
I don't know why as the gypsy way did not extend to skipping school... guess I got sick or something

jess said...

oh yeah the old I love You award... big accomplishment...

Georgia said...

I luv u 2, Terri, and I miss you also. I am only in Atascocita. Where the sun rises on the lake every morning and the birds fly in beautiful designs ove r lake Houston. Maybe one day when you and katwoman are going to 1960 anyway we could have lunch together out here somewhere. I would really like that.

Georgia said...

Wasnt there some kind of waiver on perfect attendance if you came late? Gypsies are not great on time attendance.

Georgia said...

And why are all the blog streakers guys?

jess said...

ahhh.... Georgia has identified the issue. TARDINESS

Georgia said...

I think mamapc has "blogfever" She has become one of us. She thinks about the blog at 4:30am. I remember doing that. I still do that if I am on here too long.

jess said...

Toby is a great reward

jess said...

the blog streakers are just Daniel and Richy....

jess said...

I remember laying awake nights over KG

Georgia said...

I luv yall 2. M ok. R u ok?

Georgia said...

I dont think they streak enough. We need more streakers. When we lived in Colorado there was a guy who streaked on his bicycle down a mountain in just his tennis shoes.
The cops were waiting at the bottom of the mountain.

jess said...

this baby is a drunkard

jess said...

Maybe they should offer trophies for academic awards, that's all I'm sayin

Georgia said...

Yeah, I remember thinking about Kg at night. I remember being excited about getting to church so I could talk to Matt and Jennifer about the blog.

Georgia said...

Family attributes?

jess said...

Dose were da DAYS! (music)

jess said...

well, you gotta know my vote

Georgia said...

I LIKE THAT IDEA! We vote on the streaking quality of Richy and Daniel. Maybe we would get some new streakers.

jess said...

drunkeness, G?

Georgia said...

Yeah, I was referring to our grandfather.

jess said...

How about most loved anonymous Character?
Mel
batboy
Ratking
Thumper
?

BethC said...

i play catchup with blog conversations:
Pam, Tenney Hadassah comments? when where?

know the fraze "trophy wife/husband"....

josh gets award for "most domestically-helpful-expectant- husband"

terri gets "most-encouraging-words-offered award"

g gets "most beautifully poetic description award"

jess gets "most overcoming-humurous-response award"

i'll keep working on the other awards...i too have a socialist view of awards...

jess said...

I would like to say that a vote for me is a vote for America and God and apple pie.

And who could love a RAT, anyway?

jess said...

hadassah was good. I liked it a lot. It had a beat you could dance to.

Georgia said...

One of the things I like about when Jess comments is she can shut down a bad comment with like one or two words, that always blows my mind how she does that.

jess said...

Most creative spelling goes to the Theatrickle Daniel Mathews

jess said...

Ratking abuses drugs, I would mention here

BethC said...

i'm working for the "most-multi-tasking-award"

btw
i'm at Washington today....junior high...i like to say that...want u 2 no wer i am

jess said...

Maybe you deserve to be put out of your "humility"

BethC said...

creative spellers award seems to be extremely popular in the current elementary schools of texas

jess said...

Beth wins Most Fiscally Minded

Georgia said...

No, Beth would get the award for making the longest sentence out of several comment boxes.

And for the greatest need for donuts.

jess said...

Dr Mikey wins the Most Likely to Be Exploded award.


Sooon....

jess said...

well, mama PC has had some doozies of thought out posts

jess said...

And she has an endless supply of drugs available

jess said...

Most Likely to Die without Breakfast- me

BethC said...

on behalf of my agent and my parents and teachers, i want to thank all of you for your kind and insightful nominations, and i now accept these awards in proxy for my actual attendance....

BethC said...

i love donuts hence my excessive use of self-control to avoid them

BethC said...

blogging according to your blood-type

Georgia said...

We have to have an award for Terri.

Georgia said...

Can Big Daddy get the award for first to deliver a baby on the blog?

Georgia said...

Does that mean you have left again Z? Have you considered the effect your leaving has had on the rest of us? Could it be that you have a pattern here that is part of your life? Do you leave when you dont get enough attention in other parts of your life? Do you feel less loved when you dont get the attention you want?

BethC said...

i would say "ease up on Z" but since i dont know em then whatever...maybe he's a spy and deserved it

BethC said...

so still no takers on the contest to identify my actress pic? movie?

Georgia said...

Ok, and for the nominees...
(Drum roll here Big Daddy or Daniel...)
For the best anonymous blog character...
We have

Batboy
Z
Ratking
Thumper
Max the Sax
Dr. Mikey ( who is only sort of anonymous)
Katwoman
Batman

Is there anyone I have left out?

BethC said...

jess, academic awards, thats a new angle and a unique spin on the socialist awards thing

Toby wins heaviest drinker award

Georgia said...

Beth, I thought someone identified her out of I think it was princess bride the other day?

BethC said...

BethC said...

Bobby needs a ride to WJHS to get his truck b/c i took it and now he has no ride and i'm in twubble

Georgia said...

My favorite post of the gone with the wind series was when mama had that picture of scarlet bending over in the arms of her husband and after several days of that mama said " I need a new picture my back is starting to hurt"

Georgia said...

Ahhh do miss them days... Get me a sahsparilla mamie, Ahhh believe ahm gettin the vapors.

Georgia said...

My suspicions are that she is not looking very hard.

Georgia said...

Mom always says that she is not going to remarry cause when she gets to heaven she doesnt want to have to explain it to Dad. She says it like this.

Ahh. Hi, this is...
Uhh...
uhhh...

And Dad will say
I know who that is!

Georgia said...

Kg! you are back! Miracles!

BethC said...

BethC said...

rat + king = oxymoron...

BethC said...

i know people in Heaven got all the answers now....but we just claim human ignorance...God knows, we live and we learn

Georgia said...

I wish things were different for you, Jennifer. Maybe Mom could give you one of her wealthy land- owners when she really starts looking.

Georgia said...

I dont really know the details of what happened with your last husband but I can tell it has been hard for you.Im praying that things will change in your life.

Georgia said...

Pierce Brosnan huh?
Like the James Bond look do you?

Georgia said...

Ok, I must make lunch and go to school, I wont be back until after 5.
( Is Julie having Jenna?)
Jess,
this is my suggestion. That you have a blog vote on the following characters

Mel Gibson
Ratking
Batboy
Thumper
Z
Kg
Max the Sax ( sorry Ratking he deserves at least a nomination)
Dr. Mikey
Scarlett and the gone with the wind series
Imposter Daniel
Imposter Kg
Imposter Terri

Maybe the votes could go to your email. Maybe you could make a ticker for it. Or several tickers. Anyway I will be back tonight and vote then.
Maybe some characters could have a time to campaign. Maybe there could be a campaign competition. With the qualifiers of equal time or something. I'm not sure you can get Max the Sax to comment, but maybe.
Anyway, tonight.

Georgia said...

I think Mc Conaghey is a much better idea for you. At least he is American.

BethC said...

"maybe" is an adverb meaning perhaps

may be is a verb phrase
