[1]  The comment thread at my shrine to George Clooney has taken a funny turn; Min and Steve are at it again and who knows if it’ll end up like last time.  Once they get started, I’m relegated to blog voyeur status at my own blog (thankyewverymuch), but if you’d like to read a few masters at their craft, be sure to scroll the comments (more than one page).

[2]  Seems like Phil-the-Deen-Webmaster is hardly working working hard on a nifty invention (mentioned in the comments) that’ll leave him comfy for life and in a position to surpass Gates in world philanthropy.  Once he figures out how to package "Orlando in a Tube™ " he’ll probably move on to Clooney and Dempsey and from there?!  Do we really wanna know where it goes from there???  I’m pretty sure it’ll put ROCKBAND and Guitar Hero to shame…;).

[3]  Mummymac at Home but not Alone is hosting this month’s Recipe Round Up.   Her theme is all things breakfast, so if you have a good recipe, why don’t you join her tomorrow?  Like me last month, she’s giving away a cookbook.  Unlike me (and much more wisely), she’s giving away ONE not an INSANE 13!.  Feeling lucky?

[4]  If you haven’t already, you really should visit Written Inc. for Carmi’s weekly "Caption This" contest.  Recently I had the pleasure of sharing a win again (I’m sure I was inspired by conversation with my son) and it’s always a lot of fun because Carmi encourages multiple entries.  When you just can’t decide which is "best", you can suggest them all.  More times than not, he seems to rule out my favorite for a second or third choice of mine, which makes me wonder if I should try that tactic for Ree’s contests…my first choice never makes her radar.   

[5]  For those of you who’ve tagged me in the past two months or so…forgive me, I STINK at tags!!  I often have so many posts "under construction"…it’s difficult for me to have the focus to follow tag guidelines. 

Here’s an EASY one from Beth aka Sportsmama; little more than Linky Love, it’s complete cut and paste (aka EASY!)!   My add-ons are the last five mentioned (chosen because they’re new bloggers or new to my blog).  Thanks, Beth!!

Guidelines per Beth (most of this is "white noise" to me…:/):

Do not replace, just keep on adding! Yes we hope it will be a long list!  Cut and paste the entire list in your blog, links follow automatically.

*Tag others and see your Technorati Authority increase exponentially!
