Pink Saturday II -- Tiney Style!



This is my second time joining in on the Pink Saturday fun, hosted by Beverly, over at How Sweet the Sound. And, as was the time before, I do it a little different than the rest. You see, I don't own any pretty depression glass, or fancy teapots, or any fine linens. So instead, I bring to you other pink things I love.


Jill got here late this afternoon and as usual we couldn't just sit in the house, so we went shopping! Oh, you'll get all the gory details of this some time later, but first I want to share with you something I picked up at Hobby Lobby. I fell in love with it instantly and knew just what I would use it for.



You know what's inside there already, don't you? Oh yes, my favorite pink packets of sweetness!



And do you know what else I love that's pink? Tongue!

No no no, people, get your minds out of the gutter!

And I'm not talking about that cow tongue crap you can eat either. Jimmy's eaten it quite a few times while on business in Mexico and just the thought makes me cringe. Tongue taco anyone? Blechhhhhh!

What I'm talking about is doggy tongues! Like this...



Do any of you recall who that is? Why, it's none other than Angelina Jolie! Uh huh, I wrote a post about her here, at Angelina Jolie. One Ugly Bitch. Go read it if you've got a few moments.

The same weekend we moved into this new rental house we got Angelina for a 12 day stay. She's such a good little girl and we love having her. But... she's so damn ugly! So ugly that you've just got to love her. Now, not only is her tongue pink, but so are the very thick rims of her eyes. This grossed my mom out to no end, but I find it endearing. I mean, how could you not love this face?



Her belly is kind of pink too.



And just one more pink thing that I absolutely adore.

Simmie's nose! Simmie is 15 years old, but still a total beauty, don't you think?



Thank you for allowing me to be a little silly with your normally classy Pink Saturday posts. Be sure to check all the others you'll find out there. I can promise you they'll be more refined than this!

Until Next Time, Tiney

It... Is... ON!!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Make sure you read to the end to find out who the winner is of my "gently used" book from the SITStas Spring Fling Giveaway!!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


I swear blogger friends, if I see one more comment about Jill being oh-so-sweet and caring I'm going to slit my own wrists with a dull implement. You don't realize the cruelty that lives in her heart, the need to boast about her achievements, the absolute torment she puts me through at times.



Take yesterday, for example. I cannot even tell you how many times I picked up the phone and heard, not "Hey", not, "Hey, it's Jill", not, "What's up?" but, "Guess how many followers I have? How many do you have? I would answer and Jill would get all righteous and I'm-nicer-than-you-and-people-like-me-more, announce that she now has more followers than me and, then emit this outrageously evil cackle. I shit you not people.

Excuse me while I pull the knife from my back.




But not only had she done this to me no less than 10 times yesterday, but she got sweet, innocent Alexa, an unworldly 7-year-old, to join in her sick and twisted fun. In the background I would hear, "Aunt Tiney, how many followers do you have? Mommy has two bazillion now, and you don't!" (Insert childish maniacal laughter)

Did you hear that?



Oh look, I do believe that was my self-esteem!

Don't worry though. I'm not bitter or anything.



Do I regret badgering "sweet" sister Jill into blogging? Do I feel animosity because it seems that, apparently, people love her more than me? Do I feel extreme, gripping jealousy that she's accumulated more followers than I have, and in such a short time? Bet your sweet as I do! Of course not! She's my beloved sister and best friend and, I love her! I want only for her to slam her fingers in the car door and break each and every one, rendering her unable to type for her to find happiness and friendship here in blogland. Because I'm selfless like that.

But...

I might possibly be feeling a bit unloved.



I might possibly be feeling a teeny tiny bit jealous. (Gasp)



I might even be feeling a tad bit resentful toward my darling sister.



I might even be feeling a teensy bit angry.



But it's okay. I understand that Jill is not operating with all her mental faculties. We need to make allowances for people such as her.



It's okay really.

I'll survive the maligning of my character.

I'll struggle through the feelings of unworthiness.

I'll...

I'll...

Well...

I'll GET BACK AT THE BITCH!!!!!!



Oh yeah, game on, sista! GAME ON!!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We now interrupt our regularly scheduled sobfest to bring you the winner of the SITs Spring Fling Giveaway!

The winner of my gently used and, possibly food-smeared book is...

Drum roll please...

Reeni from Cinnamon & Spice & Everything Nice! Congratulations Reeni, and thanks to everyone who participated. It was a blast!

Hungry Woman in Paris. Want It?




It's Spring Fling time over at The Secret is in the Sauce and this time I'm participating! Now in these economically trying times I had to be crafty about my giveaway. I don't want to call it it a re-gift, but that's what it is in a nutshell.


I have for you, one gently read copy of Hungry Woman in Paris, Okay, there may or may not be some smeared food on the pages, written by Josefina Lopez, that was given to me by my good friend Elizabeth from Thoughts of an Evil Overlord. She did a review on the book here, and having pity on my poverty-stricken soul, Am I getting a sobfest yet? sent it to me out of the goodness of her heart.

Now I'm willing to give you my copy! Leave me a comment (and make it good!) and you'll get one entry into the drawing. Leave me a comment and become a follower and you get two entries. Leave me a comment, become a follower, and actually come back for more? Well, then you get my undying love and devotion. But no more entries.

Giveaway contest will end tomorrow morning at 8 a.m., when I will then use that random picker thingamajiggy to choose a winner. Please make sure there's some way for me to reach you through email to get your address!

When you're done here, go to SITs and look at all the awesome giveaways to be had!







Until Next Time, Tiney
