Since there haven´t been as many offerings on this week´s Coffee 2 go menu as usual I´ll offer you some quickies today. I apologize for staying away from Blogland for almost a week. Some of you know the reason already. We´ve had a house on fire - my friend and co-worker´s house. The poor young girl has lost everything - we´re still trying to do evrything possible for her. Please feel free to email me if you want to help (sending some kind words, maybe a little something from your hometown or a donation). Meanwhile I´ll try to catch up with these quickies, visit the DIY-store and catch up with your last week´s postings. I didn´t forget you… how could I? =)
QUICKies with Sanni
R.I.P. Elvis!
To commemorate yesterday´s 30th anniversary of her father´s death, Lisa Marie Presley not only decided to sing, but to sing with her dad. The video for her posthumous ‘In the Ghetto’ duet with Elvis Presley was filmed in the hurricane-ravaged city New Orleans and all proceeds from the video and single will benefit a new Presley Place transitional housing campus there.
Enjoy the video…
Nice Matters
Special thanks to my wonderful Tisha over at Crazy Working Mom - she awarded me with the
Sanni over at Coffee 2 Go is an awesomely nice chick. She is the mastermind behind my new blog template. So, if you are still lovin’ it, go tell her so. Thank you for the awesome job, girlfriend. She is a mommy blogger of sorts like me with an amazingly cute little boy, Luis. I love to see her photo collaborations of him. She is such a sweet heart that she has a heartfelt post up right now about a good friend who lost everything (including her mother) in a house fire. Thank you, Sanni for your kindness.
Thank you, Tisha! It´s a joy for me to receive this award in such a great company. I will display the cute button proudly in my blog-bling-gallery.
Now I´m allowed to award 5 fellow bloggers. Since I can´t pass real hugs around, I really appreciate this opportunity, awarding the following 5 who have been especially nice to me in my blogging adventures with this little blog bling:
This award is for those bloggers who are nice people; good blog friends and those who inspire good feelings and inspiration. Also for those who are a positive influence on our blogging world. Once you’ve been awarded please pass it on to others who you feel are deserving of this award.
Barb @ Skittles´ Place:
She´s one of the first blogs I ever visited - and Barb made me feel comfortable in the first second. I blogrolled her in the second second ;D - she never fails to put a smile on my face. I love her sense of humor, her daily quickies and her kindness. You´ll fall head over feet in love with Barb at your first visit - if you haven´t already.
Turnbaby @ And as the world Turns:
She gives the most intense smooches and gropes in the Blogosphere. Visiting Turnbaby is always delightful - she is such a witty and kind person and will answer all comments she recieves. Don´t you dare to miss her Blogtalk Radioshow “Turnbaby Talks” on SUN 8.pm. - it´s a jewel.
Maria @ BAAAHHH!!!:
Maria is one of a kind. Love her and her content. It´s mostly about BAAAHHH!!!. This great comedy is about Ivan who receives a letter telling him that he has to pay taxes on a sheep he doesn’t own and there’s no way to prove otherwise. There´s still a change to visit them at the New York Fringe Festival. If you can´t make it - give Maria a try. You´ll love her. She´s a beauty with a beautiful soul!
Matt-Man @ Bagwine Ruminations:
Laugh-out-loud hilarious Matt-Man is my daily must-read. I absorb each of his posting with greatest pleasure. Words cannot describe this awesome guy. I hope to meet him in 3D some day - yes, another cat is out of the back: I love him to pieces. This pink floretty award will definitely not make him sissy… *snicker*
Vinny @ Bond´s Big Leather Couch:
When I first sat down on The Couch - I felt like I wanted to stay forever and ever, hitting the F5 button every now and then. So why not just stay and bring in some coffee and a bouquet of flowers in form of the “Nice Matters”-Award? That´s exactly what Vinny is: nice! He´s always there if you need someone to lean on, gives great advice and answers every comment. Sit down on The Couch - it´s so comfy you´ll never get up again.
The Middle Name MEME
brought to you by my dear friend Alice:
Here are the rules:
1. You have to post these rules before you give the facts.
2. Players: you must list one fact that is somehow relevant to your life for each letter of your middle name. If you don’t have a middle name, use the middle name you would have liked to have had.
3. When you are tagged you need to write your own blog post containing your own middle name game facts.
4. At the end of your blog post, you need to choose one person for each letter of your middle name to tag. Don’t forget to leave them a comment telling them they’re tagged, and to read your blog.
My middle name is: … *sniff* The cat is out of the bag: I’m unprivileged. I… don’t… have… *sniff* a … *sniff* middle name! I can’t think of any middle name I would have liked to have had, so I´m going to leave you with this:
Nuts - just nuts, but definitely not in terms of “testicles” =D
Open minded - for everything and everybody
Nocturnal - I don’t sleep too much.
Enthusiastic- I’m full of energy.
Since I cheated and the whole Blogosphere has done this MEME I won’t tag anyone.
Draw a pig
shameless stolen @ Skittles´ Place:
Draw A Pig and then find out what your drawing means. That´s my piggy:
Piggy says about me:
You drew me…
- Toward the middle, you are a realist.
- Facing left, you believe in tradition, are friendly, and remember dates (birthdays, etc.)
- With many details, you are analytical, cautious, and distrustful.
- With less than 4 legs, they are insecure or are living through a period of major change.
- With big ears. The size of the ears indicates how good a listener you are.
The bigger the better. You drew large ears, you are a great listener!
- The length of the tail indicates the quality of your sex life.
And again more is better! You drew large tail, WOW!
I ask myself what the 4 quickies we´ve had so far say about my sex life… maybe I´m a sexmaniac. Another hint for this might be Franks conclusion when he saw the huge smile on my face after asking me to hop over to the local home improvement store today:
Sanni, I bet your the only woman world-wide getting horny when the home imrovement store is mentioned…
*blushing* We´re off to the store now =)
Have a great day, darling bloggie people. Spend it in the DIY-center with a loved one. Don´t forget to involve some cake!
*SMOOCH*
And now…
… our moment of Homer J.:
Homer: Sorry, Mr. Burns. I don’t go in for these backdoor shenanigans. Sure I’m flattered, maybe even a little curious. But the answer is no!
Sanni
Are you addicted to caffeine...?
