Ass Kicking | Posted by Jannie on 19 December 2008 @ 3:26 PM
I know it’s a very little thing in the Grande Scheme Of Things, but Kim Woodbridge over at (Anti) Social Development (thanks for the tip from Blogger For Hire Vered,) went rooting around in my site code and actually got the date, time and numbers in my comments!!! It even worked retroactively. Plus, she got my stats and SEO plug-in going (not that I know what to do with those yet but they’re there and waiting.)
And Barbara Swafford at Blogging Without A Blog done writ me up as “New Blog Of The Week,” to which my initial reaction was Wayne & Garth’s to Alice Cooper, ”I’m not worthy. I’m not worthy.” But I soon got over it and bought me a throne. And a bell to summon the servants.
Don’t you just want to run rampant through my newly vamped comments?
Don’t you just want to race over here and lift your glass to me?
Don’t ya just want to fling the star up on my tree?
Shit, the star! I forgot to put up the star.
See ya!
[Or... how would you help me celebrate these momentous blog events if you were here with me right now?]

You are worth it, you are worth it….I hired Blogger Dad to help me while my IT is in Denmark…no lie…you got lots of good help here – take it and dance around the room with your star…repeating, “I am one lucky and determined woman…”
I am going to hire Writer Dad to evaluated my space and writing…that is what I have asked for for Christmas…
Then I went to Vered’s post on Gift lists (I don’t know how to link http://www.momgrind.com to your site.) and really got depressed…I always give everyone socks for Christmas in their stockings and last year my honey got me a bathroom scale that really registered the proper weight at that end of the scale…then I noticed that my honey had gotten me all those gifts over the last 32 years…I am now sure he is giving me the gifts his mother would have wanted from his father who never gave anyone a gift in his long life…Ah me…so I went to the attic and got out our Star and put it in the North window and it made beautiful light on the lovely snow

I am a newbie too. This is my my 3rd month of blogging.
It took me 2 month to change my background picture.
When it comes to the technical stuff I feel your pain.
Congrats on your award. Awesome! I’ll drink to that.

Um… we would squeal like girls, holding each others hands and bouncing around the room… which would of course be followed by some mild (or not so mild — up to you)inebriation with the drink of your choice and giggling.
Yeah, OK, I don’t squeal or do that girly-bouncy-thing, but for you? Totally!

Hey Shay-Shay: Refrigerator heaven – my personal favorite.
Michael: I won a tube of toothpaste once.
Patricia: I am of the opinion your site space and such looks great as is. Really great, in fact. But I guess it never hurts to see if you can improve. I am basking in the glow of your star in the window story, thanks.
Dee: I am quite happy indeed about the date and time on my comments. Next I’m going to attack my fonts.
Budda: Every little new thing learned sure feels great.
Vered: Thanks. She sure helped me out!
Erin: You painted quite a picture there, thanks! A couple of squeals and a bunch of imbibing will work.
C2+3: Thanks. Typepad I know nothing about, color me Colonel Clink’s sidekick on that.

When I see Alice Cooper two bits of lyrics run immediately through my mind – “only women bleed” and “school’s out forever”…and now they are both stuck firmly in my mind….I’m in for some very strange dreams tonight!
Well, Jannie, you filed this under the appropriate category. It IS kick-ass news! Both on the wordpress “ass kicking” and your “kick ass” blog being recognized for the gem it is!

Debbie: Yeah all fancy over here! What’ll I come up with next – fireworks shooting out your computer screen?
Momisodes: Yeah, the new me! It’s only right tho, that the time and date be on, a permanent record of all these grand delusions.
Mia: Thank you, it’s just a small thing but it’s big to me. And been a long time coming!
Talon: For me definitely “School’s Out” and everything from “Flush The Fashion.” I think Alice Cooper’s been a big influence on me and may appear like one wacko dude but he’s a musical and lyrical genius. And I hear, one hell of a pastry chef. (And how were your dreams?)
Dr C: Thank you. I am certainly a fan of your site too, that’s why you see me lurking over there on a regular basis..
And the time of this comment is…
On 20 December 2008 at 7:26 am Lance said,
Cool numbers! Your site rocks, Jannie! As for the star, success??
So…back to the celebration at your house…
I’m thinking a little Kool and the Gang (Celebration)! Somebody could probably dance to that one, too (it wouldn’t be me, though!!).

Thanks Jannie! There’s nothing like waking up to find that I’ve been mentioned in the same article as Alice Cooper
And I’ve been up for hours – it just took me all day to write my comment.
I don’t have a star for my tree – I can’t find one that I like …

Hey Jannie,
I would go bra slinging and dance with Lance to “Celebrate.” After we danced to we could not stand it anymore we could sit down and listen to Matthew Dryden read poetry! Then, we could get up and start again!
This is great! Congrats.

Barbara: I’m sooooo happy with everything, whee-hoo.
Cricket (and Lance) Cel-e-brate good times, come on! Jim and I used to dance around the house to that. And in his drinking days I once picked him up while dancing but dropped him and he fell on a speaker and busted it (true story!)
Snag: you like snakes? Ever have one for a pet?
Mama W: Roses are red, vy-letts iz pink, you got real nice bones, like the rest of you, I think!
Dot: Champagne – totally my favorite and I discovered a couple of weeks ago there is actually a re-corkable brut, which works very well for me because I’m the only alcohol imbiber at our house. Otherwise half would end up down the drain, and we can’t have that, now can we!

Wow, I get snowed in for a couple of days and Jannie starts winning awards and stuff!! Congratulations; well deserved, even though for such a young blogsite many of us already knew you had the right stuff–like New Blog of the Month, “Best Blog in 2008″, “:More fun than a Prius full of monkeys!
The numbers are cool, and you are cool, and kudos to Shay for jumping on first. I’ve done that a few times too, but I didn’t have a number. Shay is #1. Course everybody already figured that out when they read her poetry or visited her site. I would be envious of your “well earned” success, but I have been too busy with the fun over at my site; fun I might add which goes without the embrace of lotsa commentors. I have to hang out over here to be impressed and excited. By the way was #22 Bob Dylan?
Only the second day of winter here in the Pacific Northwest, and we are jammed up like logs in a creek, like too much cheese and not enough roughage.
