Don't Be Confused Drowsey!..........It's Just A Global Blog-iversary Posting Party For YOU!!!

My Pal Drowsey Monkey is not only one of my favorite bloggers and an all around terrific person...today she is celebrating her ONE YEAR BLOG-IVERSARY! Woo-Hoo!!!

And, it's been nearly that long since I was first drawn to her blog by this post: A Large Penis Is Good To Have. (A-hem.) And curiously enough, if you read the comments on that post, you'll see that it was also our good buddy Speedcat Hollydale's first visit to Drowsey's blog too! AND not only that...but Drowsey's comment back to me on that post states that she was (surprise surprise) "confused" by my comment! And so set the stage for a year of some of the funniest and most memorable blogging moments I've ever had, and the development of a friendship with one of the nicest people I've ever met.

Whether I'm reading one of Drowsey's hilarious, astute, or heartfelt posts (*see the best of the best here), or we're "stalking" each other all around the blogosphere, or staying up waaaaay past our bedtimes having one of our now infamous late night e-mail "gab-sessions", or conspiring to PhotoShop some part of Speedy's anatomy....getting to know this woman has been an honor and a total BLAST!

Besides her sense of humor, what I appreciate most about Drowsey is her warmth, openness and genuineness...she has a gift for story-telling that makes you feel like you're sitting next to her in her living room (with her cats) and sharing a cup of coffee (with Baileys, of course) and maybe even with that creepy ol' neighbor peeking in through the window. Dang!...if we only lived closer, I KNOW we'd be hanging out together and cracking each other up ALL THE TIME! In fact, I don't imagine we'd get much else done...but...it sure would be fun! (Actually, in September I really AM gonna visit Drowsey! So stay tuned for THAT!)

HAPPY 1st BLOG-IVERSARY TO
MY PAL DROWSEY! This clam's for you!
{{{HUGS!}}}
~Olga & Shawn

*Here's the continuously UPDATED LIST of ALL the blogs participating in this
GLOBAL BLOG-IVERSARY POSTING PARTY in honor of
DROWSEY MONKEY!
So take a spin around the blogosphere & see what others are
saying about Drowsey today!
**Oh - and be sure to drop by her blog too!

A Little Piece of Me

(NOTE: It's not too late to post a Happy Blog-iversary message to Drowsey on your blog/add your name to this list - just do it and email me the name of your blog/URL!)
And if you don't have a blog leave a comment or
drop me a note & I'll add it here!
Like this one from Drowsey Monkey fan, Jack Payne...
Happy Anniversary, Drowsey:
As long
as you don't take bus trips up there in bushwack country (I have that beheading of the blogger on a bus in mind), you are probably safe to pursue your career as one of the world's foremost bloggers. It's said that the colder the X-Ray table, the more of your body is required on it. This blogging addiction is much like this. However, you seem to have mastered this craft, with omnipotent powers of communication. When in doubt about an upcoming blog piece, merely sprinkle some of your Holy Water on it--and go with it.
Cheers! ~Jack

Drowsey Monkey said...
Okay, I've pulled myself together. Anyway...lol

You know that photo is traumatizing to me...and it gives me penis nightmares! LOL

That will definitely keep me awake.

August 1, 2008 10:06 PM


Drowsey Monkey said...
Well, I've been surfing around and reading, and crying & laughing, LOL. Thanks again Olga!

And thanks to Jack who I see left a msg here :) "Omnipotent powers of communication"! Wow ... now only Jack could come up with that! LOL Thank you!!

Olga, the Traveling Bra said...
Oh Drowsey - You deserve all this and MORE! :) Just don't ever quit blogging OK?
Glad you like the clam....I picked it 'specially with you in mind!

August 1, 2008 11:22 PM


Nanny Goats In Panties said...
OMG, Drowsey Monkey warned us about th penis nightmares, and then I forgot about it by the time I got here and THERE IT WAS - AUGHHG!!!

This was a very nice post about Drowsey. You did a very cool thing here.

August 1, 2008 11:24 PM


Olga, the Traveling Bra said...
Nanny Goats - Ya know...if you sauteed up some squash blossoms & torpedo onions with that clam...it would probably make a very tasty dish! ;)

Daddy Papersurfer said...
Oh - it's the 2nd today is it? - whoops.

[You is a good buddy Olga, Drowsey doesn't deserve you - tee hee]

August 1, 2008 11:47 PM


Drowsey Monkey said...
Okay, I'm back ... again, LOL. I was just re-reading the posts you linked here ... omg...LOL. I'm laughing.

Shoes, orgasams & chickens (yes I know I spelled it wrong again)!!! We're weird!

August 1, 2008 11:51 PM


Nanny Goats In Panties said...
Olga - OMG, can you imagine finding a basket of THOSE clams at the Farmer's Market? Talk about your torpedos! Holy Moly! You'd have to blindfold Drowsey before letting her walk by those bad boys.

August 1, 2008 11:58 PM


Olga, the Traveling Bra said...
Oh yes she does DaddyP! And I her! :)

Drowsey - THAT was a CLASSIC post! You werido you!

Nanny Goats! HAHAHA! Oh but what a GREAT blog post it would make!

August 2, 2008 12:01 AM


Drowsey Monkey said...
lol ... NGIP ... you think people were looking at you funny taking photos of onions! HA!

Now, I'm getting an interesting visual here. 2 onions, 1 clam ...

Hey! It's art! Not nasty. We could even name him Art. Arthur.

Okay, I'm officially over-tired! :)

August 2, 2008 12:02 AM


Olga, the Traveling Bra said...
But what about the squash blossoms? Where do they factor in????

August 2, 2008 12:03 AM


Omyword! said...
I love the fact that she originally wanted to make Drowsy and Monkey travel around the world. Then she met you! Great tribute Olga. I'm constantly amazed at the typing dexterity and incredible vocabulary of a simple (but lacy) bra.

August 2, 2008 12:57 AM


Olga, the Traveling Bra said...
Thanks OMyLisa! I constantly amaze myself as a matter of fact...but really, it's the blogosphere that so amazing...where else, HOW else would so many different, interesting people hook up and become friends? :)

Yay, Drowsey! Olga- I emailed you. I was late with my post as I misunderstood the deadline-- it's on Of Cabbages and Kings here: http://cabbages-n-kings.blogspot.com/2008/08/in-honor-of-drowseymonkeys.html

This was such a super idea Olga! I cannot think of anyone else that is a nicer person than Drowsey. Speedy has a soft spot in his heart for that girl :-)

Poke it once ... it really is soft there (smile)

Are sure this post was not about really huge (and flacid) penisses? or what's that pic at the end of the post?
