My new and fabulous idea...

Okay...so the whole "awards" thing got me to thinking. Scary, right? I know! Why do we have to wait for an award to recognize good blogs? Or anything for that matter. So "spread the word Thursday" was born. Every Thursday from now on I'm going to "spread the word". No, not like the word of God or anything. Mostly because he really doesn't talk to me. And also because there are soooo many people already doing that. Nope, I'm going to link to my favorite blog of the week that day. And it would be awesome if others did this as well. Because it would give your readers a chance to go see another truly awesome blog and also because it would give someone a nice recognition. If nothing has struck your fancy this week in the blog world...feel free to shout out a great book, movie, TV show. Anything. I don't have a fancy button thingy yet...but I'm working on it, okay? (Geez you people expect so much...)

So...here are my shoutouts:

Amazon.com for letting me pre-order Stephen King's upcoming book Under the Dome set up for release in November for only $9!!! For real. I got free shipping too. I cannot possibly tell you how freakin excited this makes me. Let's just say I was jumping up and down and clapping my hands at midnight the other night!

Heather, my bloggybuddy, for her amazing post. Not only is there a great spooky story, but also pictures of Stephen King's house. Go Heather!!!

And my friend Brandi who wanted to go to the haunted house last night. And then once we got there had to be drug in (even though I'd already plied her with peach margaritas for courage). She was like "this is a stupid idea! who's idea was this?! And I'm like "um...yours! You're going in!" And so she did. We volunteered my hubby for the lead, then me, then her, then her hubby brought up the rear. She hid her face in my sweater the entire time yelling "I'm not looking!" True story. It wasn't even that scary. My hubby jumped once. And I mostly giggled. At Brandi. The scariest part was when they forgot to open a door so we accidentally went into this little walkway which was pitch black and a dead end. So we were stuck in a very small space in the dark. That bothers me. Eventually a guy with a light rescued us. But not until we banged on the walls looking for an exit for awhile. I'm sure they were laughing at us. It was a good time.

So, let me know what you think of the idea. Play along if you want to. I'll try to make a cool button or something.

  1. I think its a very good idea Spot! Dunno about the button but I know you will come up with something cool.
    I just know you are saving the all time scariest Spot story for saturday. No pressure though...I'm not alone in my anticipation I just got off the phone with another one of your adoring fans. I'm totally going to wear "depends" just in case I pee a little.

  2. Heather's post was great - thanks for sending us there.
    Good idea about the award, too.
    Spot, Google 'Pennhurst Asylum'. It was featured on Travel Channel last night...
    (Anyone up for a road trip to PA? I'll drive - and wait for you in the car).
    Boo-Eee-Ooooo...

I will do my best to come up with something and you invest in the depends because now it's just a challenge and I can't resist a dare so it is on buddy!!! And the button thingy, I don't know, that may take awhile!!

  4. Cynica~ I'm glad you liked her post! I will google that for sure! I'm always up for a road trip, especially if someone else is driving and there's a good scare at the end. Hahaha...you want to wait in the car? In the dark? Alone? You sure about that? Muahaha.

  5. Good idea.

    I know someone who designs buttons ... well - I don't "know" her, but she's a blogger.

    Not sure what she charges ... but her stuff is super kewel. She did Meeko's.

    It's Tamara at Cheapskate Mom - sorry, I wasn't prepared with a linky. She's on my page.

  6. I love that idea! Now, lets hope when thursday comes around again I will remember to drink coffee first, so I will remember and not just go with whatever comes to my mind.

    You and your readers are so good to me. Thank you.

  7. HA! What are you gonna do when Halloween's over? What ever will you make fun of??

    I like the idea of drawing attention to good reads....it's so hard to keep up with awards. I don't mean to sound ungrateful, really I don't, but it IS hard. I like the idea, but it's hard to make them all into posts and I'm SO behind...

  8. Danica~ I'm going to try to figure it out on my own. But if I fail miserably, I'll check with her. Lol. I'm glad you like the idea!

    Heather~ Glad you like it also! Please! You deserve it. You had freakin pictures of Stephen King's house!!!

    Kathryn~ Oh, I have plenty to make fun of believe you me! You're forgiven for being behind. And I'm glad you like the idea as well!
