Today I feel like I’m in a Monopoly game.
No seriously, I do and it doesn’t make any sense…well, hey that’s my life.
So I’m participating in Kludgly Mom’s “Back to School, Back to Blogging Challenge” and this week was week #1 for the challenge. The challenge, for me, started off well. I did all the required “get your socks wet” pre-reading assignments. I even did the first assignment - well sort of. The first assignment actually had two parts. Part I was to conduct an 11-Point Inspection of your blog. Thank goodness someone had the bright idea to suggest everyone partner up. [Thank you bright idea, on your toes person]. I had a great partner, she talked a hell of a lot, sneezed and left boogers on my blog, but she was great. [Okay, seriously ‘L’ – over @ A Writer’s Den – didn’t do that, but she was awesome and provided constructive criticism].
Part II of the assignment was to find a widget or plug-in that folks weren’t familiar with. So I searched and I searched. I Googled key words – in hopes to find some spectacular and/or saucy widget or plug-in. Sure I wanted to impress the crowd! Unfortunately, I couldn’t find anything impressive or worthwhile [in my eyes – you know I’ve got 4 6 of them]. And yes, as you can imagine, there were some show offs, fancy pants, awesome bloggers that completed BOTH assignments! But not me! No, I completed one…and when Thursday approached I felt like I was standing on the board piece in the Monopoly Game that says “GO STRAIGHT TO JAIL”.

So here I am sitting at my computer writing this admission, eating a slice of week old bread, and washing it down with my saliva [um, so that was nasty] and hoping to pick the right card the next go around. Wish me luck!
p.s. I was offered one phone call but took the 15 minute internet usage option as I figured I could reach more people this way. Oh, and did I mention there was extra credit work too? Yeah - that Gigi is one tough cookie…but umm soo nooo. I didn’t do the extra credit either.
