We're gonna' paaaaaaar-tay



This week my dreads turn one.

I know, right? The time just flies! So do the frizzies.

On Friday I will be having a special party post to celebrate their special day. Since my dreads are basically on the same scale as Oprah, I expect to have celebrities posting YouTube greetings and the President to make a special appearance.

I'm sure ... that ... will happen.

Yet, what can actually come to fruition, in the little world of a thing called "reality," is that any of you can post or vlog a birthday greeting to my dreads, and I will happily post it while simultaneously pimping your blog, or business, or just general existence.

So, two things: send me your post link by Thursday night AND the previous sentence fully diagrammed.

If no one sends me anything, I will dip my locks in alcohol to help soothe their sorrows. If you send me something and you're super hysterical, then I will tell the world. I'll pimp your funny self, yo.

I can say "yo" cause I have dreads.

It's a real thing. I didn't just make that up.

You had me up until the diagramming. No way can I work that hard. Happy birthday to coolest dreads I know.

Kathleen said...

diagrammed correctly? Or just an honest try?
Sheesh, you could've at least given a more reasonable sentence to diagram! (I think I'm probably with kenzsethia.)

I'm sort of a freak. Diagramming sentences was one of my favourite things to do in school. It was so...satisfying.

I can tell you the subjects and verbs, maybe a few objects, adjectives, and adverbs if all goes well. But forget that little tree thingy.

Hey, I'm a lurker, but there was a great piece on NPR's This American Life this week (the episode was called Unconditional Love) about a family who adopted a child who had an attachment disorder. It was really interesting and moving. You can download a podcast.

Happy First Birthday to the dreads....

Question: Is there going to be cake, and will the dreads be feeding themselves cake? It's a time honored tradition for the first birthday, you know.

(as to that sentence diagram thingie-I'm out. 1 out of 2 ain't bad, is it?

:-)

I am a terrible diagram-er. I am super excited about your dreads birthday and I am of the opinion that you should at least drizzle a lil alcohol on them to celebrate their awesomeness!

Happy birthday dreadies! Christine I love your blog (and your dreads....especially with the Medusa look) and have been lurking for a while. I am planning on getting my very own dreads later this year but am currently, ever so patiently :) (NOT) waiting for my hair to grow out long enough. I am also going to be moving to TX after the first of the year and I fully intend to find you when I get there....and maybe even stalk you :) Happy dreadiversary.

Oh, and the diagramming thing. I'd sure do it too if I could figure out how to get those lines and slashy things into this post. I loved diagramming in school. Guess that makes me a nerd, huh?

Happy Dreadiversary! Can't believe it's been a year! I also vote for dipping them in alcohol. Or dipping your tongue into the alcohol. ;)

Blessings,
Sandwich
