No-Prah's Non-Giveaway

Remember last year my fake sister Qwendy and I did Faux-prah's favorite things giveaway?  That was fun.  She asked me if I wanted to participate again this year and I said, "No.".  I am so busy right now, I barely squeeze in a shower these days, much to Kitty's chagrin.  She yells, "TAKE A SHOWER!" at me multiple times each day.  She has no appreciation for my natural musk.

If you read Qwendy's blog (and you should) you will know that she has been living the Year of Yes which means she is saying yes to things she might have turned down other years.  And she has had so many incredible experiences as a result.

I, conversely, am living the Year of No...  And occasionally, the Year of Not Just No, But Hell No.  Because, I find myself becoming a cantankerous old bat, and GET OFF MY LAWN.  I am having to say no to some things I don't want to do, but even quite a few things that I wish I could do, but just can't squeeze in.

I worry that this confession makes me sound like a greedy, lazy turd face.  I could try to justify my busy-ness this year or explain my tiredness, but honestly...  I'm a greedy, lazy turd face.

I love you.  I should do a giveaway to say Thank You for reading this stupid blog, but then the winner's package would probably sit on the kitchen counter for six months until I finally ripped it open and pilfered the salted caramels inside.  Because this year all I want, night and day, are salted caramels.  I had some at book club last month and I cannot stop thinking about them.   My theory is that perhaps they were sprinkled with crack rather than salt.

I suppose it isn't polite to tell you about the things I am not going to give away. If I knew where to find those magical crack caramels, I would definitely not give them to you.   I would not give them to my family, either.   I would devour them alone in my room and hide the empties in my closet.

Look for me on Intervention next season.

But, why don't you head over to Qwendy's blog to enter her giveaway?  I hope you win!

You can buy them at Costco. My mother inlaw bought lots-o-them last Christmas. I felt the same way as you do...right up until I didn't. Let's just say you can have too much of a good thing...and gain 10 pounds doing it.

Go buy them--and then eat away until you are cured. It's the only solution. :)

Yes, clearly you are a turd face.

I am also living the year of no but I'm hoping 2013 will be my year of yes. We'll see....

I think, some years, the best we can do is hang on for the ride. Those are not my favorite years.

My all day every day craving is a salted caramel milkshake that is only made at our favorite movie theatre. Being that I have a 3-month-old baby, I have not been to the movies in that amount of time, nor do I foresee getting to go to the movies until my kid can go 3 hours without my boob. And dangit!, do I want a milkshake. What is it about salted caramel that is so addictive?

Maria... Costco?! I love you! The good thing about that is that a Costco sized box will certainly make me sick of them forever.

Just glory, I believe the addictive nature is due to the crack cocaine.

Clearly you are NOT a turd face. Anyone could see that. I am in love with the salted caramels myself. They are so delicious!

I'm pretty sure I love you, in a non-creepy, non-stalkerish sort of way.

Thanks for the giggle this afternoon. ....empties in the closet! ...ha ha ha ha ha!! Too funny!
