Information Overload

Lots to cover here on this EARLY Sunday morning. First, a question for you. Can you explain how on school mornings I can't seem to wake up until I've hit snooze 3 times but on Saturday's and Sundays I can't seem to sleep in past 6:30AM, even though my alarm is set for 7AM?

Well it's the last day of May. How fast it flew by, almost faster than I hit the snooze button on a weekday, but not QUITE that fast. Overall it was a rather pleasant month. (Considering my favorite guy won American Idol and all)

In the lovely month of may I finished editing my book, started sending out queries, got one full Manuscript request, turned a year older, got some great birthday gifts, got MSG Poisoning and found the best treasure at Big Lots during our 'Great Deal' excursion, the Method Aroma Pill - Fresh Cut Grass Scented!!!



I also want to point out the top 5 blogs this month. (Because it makes me feel speshal!)

1. My Big News was a Big Hit! (I was pretty excited too!!!)

2. Phantastic Phriday Contest. YAY! (Although I still feel like not everyone participated! Did you? If not you better!!!)

3. Belated (and possibly my favorite) Birthday Present (hehehe)

4. Feeling Victorious (A big day for me...although I'm still waiting to hear back)

5. Oh No She Didn't! (Surprisingly my Memorial Day weekend was interesting???)

Big things to look out for in June are as follows...

* More updates to www.marybethsmith.com (Got some great content going up soon!)

* Hopefully more MS requests!

* The Last Day of School!!

* A Big Event on June 6th and 7th called Batten Awareness Day

And MUCH MUCH MORE!!!

I hope everyone has a Wonderful Sunday afternoon. Can't wait to see you all in June!

(By the way, don't forget to vote for me over on the side there for the Blogger's Choice Awards !!!)

Phantastic Phriday - Rephlections!

***In honor of it being Phriday, and in rephusal to submit to boredom, I have decided that the Letter F shall phrom here on out be replaced with a PH (except phor in pictures, which I have no control over)***

Happy Phantastic, Phantasmagoric, Phriday my Phriends!

I thought I would rephlect upon April, my phirst PHULL month of blogging. **The Dora Explorer band is playing their little ditty in the background in celebration!-And now I am singing "We did it, we did it, we made it through a month of blogging, yeah we did it. HOORAY!!!" (Especially impressive aphter climbing up the Gooey Geyser!) OKKKKAAAAY, moving along. (It's not completely apparent that I have children is it???)**

So, main conclusion about April...April Sucks! Ok, so besides that...

Not ALL oph April sucked. Some really good posts did come out oph my misphortunes!!!

Take Roger the Ant phor example. Although he was discovered on the last day oph March, the Saga continued to take phorm throughout April. If you missed it, check it out phrom beginning, to middle, to the TRAGIC and SURPRISING (conphusing) ending!!!!

The other Top 5 Blogs visited this month were...

1. Is Cophphee the Key to Success

2. "Tiiiiiiimmmmmeeee is on my side. Yes it is!!!"

3. The Roger the Ant Saga (as seen above)

4. Desperately Searching phor What !?!?!

5. Top 10 Reasons the CrackBerry...um...BlackBerry is BAD

Iph you haven't had a chance to check them out, popular opinion states that you should!

Other GOOD things that happened this month were...

**My baby turned 8...she is ophphicially the proper age to start doing the dishes and laundry! (Do ya think she's old enough phor cooking dinner? Probably not since she can't reach the stove eh...)

**Aphter spending a week at the in-laws phor spring break, I realized how much I prepher my bed to an air mattress!

**I purchased my phirst CrackBerry - It's like a right oph passage, almost like puberty!

**I got a REALLY cute new shirt.

**I got the phlu, wait that's not so good. WAIT!!! It was NOT the Swine Phlu though!

**I reached 78 phollowers on Twitter

**I completed my edits on 15 PHULL chapters and transphered them to MS Word AND almost 1/2 phinished the rest. (1/2 phinished equals 1st edits, still waiting on 2nd and hopephully last edits on those)

AND MOST IMPORTANT!!!

**I made a phew great new phriends via the Blogosphere (ooooh that ph belonged there!)

I can't wait to see what May brings me/us! (Minus that whole aging thing that's about to happen next week....sigh....)
