Your Vote Counts
While this post will lack originality, I couldn't help myself getting caught up in hottest topic of blog world, Christmas pics. "What should I do? Which pose is best? Are my eyes too squinty? Please cast your vote." Man, I thought the November elections were bad. :) So I'm giving a big round of applause for the inspiration of Miss Etiquette, the debate about creating a "singles" pic from my life-long friend and the boldness of my ex-boyfriend's wife for plagiarism. I figured if she could get away with it, so could I. ;)
Cast Your Vote Please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think I like the reindeer one the best, although the elf is a close second. Did Miss Etiquette actually decide on a winner in her voting contest?
At 11:40 PM, Jaena said…
I gotta go with the elf...but I actually like them all!
And, just to set the record straight, Holly did not copy my idea, we just both had the same wonderful idea (or so she says...)
Kari, I have not gotten copies of our Christmas picture yet, if that's what you mean by selecting a winner. Most people voted for "A" but it has a "flaw" that I do not want sent out to hang on the refrigerators of friends and family (although, as Keetha mentioned, it has been posted for the entire world to see...I guess I am assuming more people will get our Christmas card than read my blog.)

Sorry Funny Lady. :(
Too much info for the rest of the world, you'll have to recast your vote.
Please don't be mad at me. :/

I have to agree with Kari, I like the reindeer the best, with the elf as a close second!!!
You're too cute!
At 11:04 AM, Anonymous said…
I like the first pic. "You're eyes (and head)how they sparkle"!!!! The 2nd santa doesn't have the sparkle in the eyes!!! Missed your clever blogs but knew you must be extremely busy this "musical" time of year. Merry Christmas Anon!
At 11:16 AM, Keetha Broyles said…
OK - - - - so did I give away too much info and make you less Anon??????? Hehehehehehehe - - - - SORRY!!! However, my 'threat' still holds true.
Now, about my vote - - - - - - -
I like the Lollipop headband picture best. I know, I know, they aren't supposed to be lollipops, they're Christmas lights - - - but they looked like lollipops to me at first, and I thought it was WAY FUNNY - - - so that gets my vote.
I don't know HOW you keep coming up with funny stuff to 'top' the last funny stuff - - - but you do.
My lollipop headband's off to you!!!!
:-)
At 11:36 AM, Keetha Broyles said…
Hey - - - besides reposting my "vote" let me also tell you that you making this new post 'fixed' much of what was goofy about the way your blog comes up on my screen - - - like now the pink doesn't cut off in a strange place, etc. The only two things still weird are the headings on most posts are still a really pale green that is unreadable and your list of links and archives is way at the bottom and half on and half off the blog.
At 12:04 PM, Anonymous said…
Mom, that has to be something about your set up because her blog has never changed at all. LOL
At 12:40 PM, Keetha Broyles said…
Jaena said the same thing - - - - - - - - - - -
At 1:12 PM, Toevs said…
The reindeer one gets my vote... unless you want to be a bearded lady, then go with the Santa pose. :-)
At 3:17 PM, Anonymous said…
Okay, you are way to clever and beat me to the punch. I have been working on my pictures and plan to post tonight before I go to bed. So, before you think I copied off of you, I didn't. I vote for the elf. I like the reindeer too. See you tomorrow.
At 6:08 PM, Anonymous said…
I like the reindeer one the best! The elf is a cute one too! You are a hoot! Never change!!
At 10:50 PM, Deb said…
I'm voting for the reindeer one - I'm really liking the brown gloves.
At 11:05 PM, Teacher Mom said…
Hey, Anon, I really enjoy reading your blog. It makes me laugh. :o) BTW, this is Heather E. (now Stone) from our great JPY/IWU days. I got here in a very, very round-about way. Don't ask. LOL
Take care!
Heather
At 1:34 PM, Anon said…
Awesome Heather! That is so weird that you're showing up on my blog at this time. I'll tell you all about it. I still have my JPY t-shirt, do you? I can't bring myself to get rid of that priceless beauty. Now, you know what happens? You officially become a link. :)
I'm hoping that Marsha is my BJ Buddy that I know and love. I was going to be real hurt if I didn't get a vote from you on this post. ;)
At 4:05 PM, Kim said…
I vote the reindeer. Thanks for always visiting my site and for all of your prayers.
At 8:28 PM, Deb said…
There once was a blogger named "Anon"
At 8:28 PM, Deb said…
And Christmas lights and an elf hat she did don
At 8:29 PM, Deb said…
But when Cool Sis did not post
At 8:29 PM, Deb said…
She got ragged on the most
At 8:30 PM, Deb said…
So now she will make sure she posts a comment in a timely matter next time. (I know the end of this part was supposed to rhyme with "Anon" and "don," but I was coming up with nothing so this will have to suffice.)
At 9:26 PM, Anon said…
You have too much time on your hands. :)
I would answer you back in a rhyme, but I do have the two biggest days of my year starting tomorrow, so it'll have to wait for now. :)
Funny. I will have to admit that my jaw hit the floor when I saw my comments jump from the previous "16".
I knew I didn't have that many fans out there. :)
At 9:31 PM, Anonymous said…
I will have to go with the reindeer pose with Santa in close second.
Shelli
At 9:32 PM, Keetha Broyles said…
Oh Anon - - - - you DO have lots of fans.
:-)
At 9:39 PM, Anon said…
Okay, I'll have to give a personal apology to my maid of honor for the comment I posted on my lifelong friend's blog. I love you Shelli! :)
Yeah, Funny Lady, lots of fans that won't leave a comment. I've got a regular visitor from California that I'd love to meet.
At 9:44 PM, Anon said…
I think the caroling put everyone in a blogging mood tonight, wouldn't you agree? :)
At 2:33 PM, Anonymous said…
I will too have to go with Rudolph. When my crazy boy gets up I will have to show it to him. I think we only watch Rudolph about 3 times a day now. When he was sick we watched non stop. They were all great though. You make me proud to be your favorite cousin!
At 6:53 AM, Jason Grate- Ordinary Extraordinary- Simple Stories of Lessons learned said…
How do I miss this things? Golly I feel so left out... Seriously Anon, there aren't words.... You are officially the most creative/funny person I know! My official vote goes for Rudolph. I'll really die if I find one of these pictures in my mailbox in a week or two.
At 4:27 PM, Deb said…
I'm having problems posting a comment on Kelley's post, so I am testing out on yours to see if I can comment.
Have you been getting encouragement on your site to switch to the new blogger? They're are probably messing us all up on purpose so we will all switch over.
At 4:28 PM, Deb said…
Okay, guess I can comment on yours. I'll go back to Kelley's site and try again.
At 5:34 PM, Anon said…
Fellow Freakazoid says that if she had to do it all over again, she would not switch over to beta. Once you do, you can't go back. I have the same trouble commenting on people's sites who have switched.....kind of like you're what having with Kelley's.
At 8:16 PM, Keetha Broyles said…
I've been having trouble posting comments tonight on all the blogs on which I've tried to post - - - beta or not. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
At 8:09 AM, Anon said…
Fellow Freakazoid
Just so you know, I've been trying to comment on your blog for a couple of days now, but the beta thing is just not coooperating with me. I miss talking with my sis! :)
At 1:24 PM, Anonymous said…
Just a not about the Beta thing. It takes some getting used to, but I am happy I switched over. My pictures upload in a snap and it publishes instantly. I really like it. I'm sorry it's causing you problems with commenting though. I didn't think it was supposed to matter for comments.
At 2:17 PM, Anon said…
It's not working. I just tried to leave you another comment Kel. (even with the google account) I'm going bananas.
At 5:01 PM, Keetha Broyles said…
I couldn't post on "Freakazoid's" last night at all. Haven't tried today.
Hey Anon - - - - you've managed to add up quite a tally of comments on this post. WAY TO GO!!!
At 5:05 PM, Keetha Broyles said…
Nope - - - - can't post on your twin sister's blog today either. What's the deal with this beta thing kicking US off, Anon - - - - doesn't beta KNOW that all our FANS are just waiting for our comments??????? ;-)
At 9:04 PM, Anon said…
hahaha
Yeah, beta needs to get with the "in" crowd.
I've noticed the comment total is adding up, but consider that you, Cool Sis and me are doing most of the talking, I don't think it displays that I have a wide fan base. I'm okay with that. You guys are great people to hang around with. :) Everyone else will just have to miss out until they're brave enough to take the plunge. :o)
Wasn't this a post about voting for a favorite pic? :) Wow, we've gotten a little off the topic! hahahaha
At 9:57 PM, Keetha Broyles said…
That's what we do best - - - get off one topic and create another diversion.
BTW - - - - I still can't comment on your twin's blog. However, she does have that little chat box on the side, and I CAN comment on that - - - - maybe you should talk to her there too.
At 4:33 AM, Keetha Broyles said…
OK Anon, I managed to get 1 comment on Char's blog and 2 on Keri's this morning by posting as "other"
See if you can get yours to go through that way.
Still a 'no go' the normal way.
At 10:02 AM, Anonymous said…
Perhaps Blogger is going to be forcing you ALL into Beta soon.
At 7:25 PM, Keetha Broyles said…
ANON!!!!!! YOU ARE A GEM AND A HALF!!!!!
I wasn't having a very pleasant morning with all the pre-exam, too busy to breathe, ROTTEN attitudes that my student (and myself) had all morning.
Then I went to lunch - - - - and there, in the middle of the teacher's table was a beautiful surprise. NO ONE ELSE GOT A SURPRISE!!!!! It was my very own surprise from Anon.
THANK YOU!!!!! It is already eaten - - - all by me - - - and it was one of my very favorite kinds!!!!!!
At 8:28 PM, Anon said…
The poison is a slow release kind. You shouldn't notice anything until later tonight. hahahahahaha :) Glad you enjoyed it. I don't do that for just anyone you know. :)
At 8:32 PM, Anonymous said…
LOL
I was feeling a bit woozie.
I'm not kidding - - - it was the biggest surprise I've had in ages. AND I LOVED IT!!!
Did you see - - - - I went part way over to the Dark Side.
At 12:31 AM, Anonymous said…
What was this delicious surprise???
At 4:52 AM, Keetha Broyles said…
A delicate little loaf of lemon poppy seed bread with a crusty, sugary top.
YUM!!!!!!
At 11:22 AM, Anon said…
Correction. NO lemon flavoring, that's why it's so good.
At 5:03 PM, Keetha Broyles said…
You're serious, Anon - - - - NO LEMON in it?????? Wow - - the mind is a powerful thing. I THOUGHT it was lemon, so I BELIEVED I tasted lemon.
You can laugh at me now.
It was still wonderful - - - lemon or no lemon.
At 11:09 PM, Anon said…
I think all the talk about lemon bars has got you a little brain- washed. :)
At 11:56 PM, Jaena said…
I can't believe all the comments you have on your post, Anon! I'm number 50!!! You're so popular... :)
At 12:57 AM, Anon said…
yeah, yeah, yeah......
Like I told Funny Lady, most of the comments are coming from 2 or 3 people, myself included, so I think it has more to do with knowing people who like to have a conversation as opposed to popularity. Now as for the other couple of viewers that I have, I guess they're just chicken. :)
At 6:22 AM, Keetha Broyles said…
True Anon - - - - I've noticed the same thing on my blog, most comments from the same sources. BUT - - - - look at it this way, ALL of us in this little blogging circle are getting comments from those same people, and yet, some posts get way more comments than others.
So - - - - part of it is the 'interesting conversation' factor too.
Not all posts are equal - - - some are more equal than others. :-)
(What did that more equal quote come from, I can't remember - - - was it Animal Farm?)
Yours are always more equal.
At 8:52 AM, Anon said…
Who you calling chicken?
At 9:17 AM, Keetha Broyles said…
Anon - - - - Big Fat came to YOUR blog page this time!!!!!!! Wow, he/she hasn't been around mine for AGES and AGES.
At 9:23 AM, Anon said…
Okay, maybe I should have said that they are "big fat chickens".
Nice to meet you.
At 10:18 AM, Anon said…
Don't know if I feel the same about you. Your blog gets on my nerves and how you've managed to constantly try to distract Keetha from talking sports on her blog ticks me off.
At 11:52 AM, Anon said…
What???????
I could care less if Funny Lady talks about sports, more power to her. Besides, I don't think she really minds me visiting her blog anyways so what's it to you?
Why don't you go "peck" on somebody your own size?!
At 12:17 PM, Anon said…
I think I am pecking on someone my own size. Have you seen my web address yet?
At 12:37 PM, Anon said…
Oh I get, so now I'm not the only one who's "overweight". Oooooh, owww, hurt me baby....
Jealousy will get you no where Big Fat Chicken. That's right: I can eat and I'm sexy. :)
At 12:43 PM, Keetha Broyles said…
Oh my goodness - - - - now my twin child is fighting with Big Fat too!!!
Do I have to be a policwoman parent/teacher ALL THE TIME?????
You two settle down in the back seat, or we will stop this car and spank your fuzzy butts!!!!! :-)
Said entirely in love, of course.
At 12:59 PM, Keetha Broyles said…
AnonAnonAnon!!!!! Can you tell I'm excited?????
Have you seen it????? OK Go's song "Here it Goes Again" is in a Nike commercial!!!!!!!!! I was just getting ready to climb the ladder to finish fluffing that tree when I HEARD it on the TV - - - - climbed back down, rewound the TV and THERE IT WAS!!!!!!!!!
Watch for it coming to a TV near you soon. :-)
I'll NEVER get that tree decorated at this rate - - - - too easily distracted by my blogging world.
At 1:23 PM, Anon said…
I guess that's your opinion, Anon.
At 1:35 PM, IndyMom said…
I like the reindeer one best.
At 2:56 PM, Anonymous said…
Do you make a habit out of arguing with yourself in public???
At 4:44 PM, Anon said…
Funny Lady
My butt isn't fuzzy.
Big Fat Chicken
My opinion is you can kiss my derriere.
Lansing Mom
Cool beans! Glad to see you, sounds like you're getting adjusted to life with 4.
Fellow Freak
?
Is that question for me or the uninvited guest?
It's not that big of a deal, I think it's a cross-over from a myspace account.
At 5:09 PM, Anonymous said…
Actually, Freaky Sis, I am under the impression that BFC and Anon are one in the same! =)
At 5:11 PM, Anon said…
Where in the world did you come up with that impression?
At 6:45 PM, Anonymous said…
Ok...ARE you BFC??
At 6:58 PM, Anon said…
Yeah, I'm BFC: big fat chance.
At 8:33 PM, Keetha Broyles said…
Where oh where did I go wrong as a parent????? My children argue with each other - - - - even my CYBER children argue with each other.
And Anon, you forgot to tell me if you've seen the OK Go Nike commercial.
(I saw it during the Divsion II championship football game today)
At 8:46 PM, Anon said…
I'm not arguing with my twin sis. I just think she may have had one too many mojitos tonight. :)
Yes, I know the Nike commercial you talking about. I wish I could "rewind" my TV. You LCS teachers have it all man. :)
At 9:44 PM, Keetha Broyles said…
This is going to make 72 comments!!!! At least for our little circle - - - you hold the record for most comments on a single post!!!!!
I don't care if it is what you said, mostly from several of us carrying on a conversation here - - - its still pretty impressive!!!!
At 11:07 AM, Anonymous said…
You all are too funny! Thanks for the laughs. I'm glad I found your site. I know this is a bit late, but my vote is for the reindeer!
At 11:10 AM, Anonymous said…
I thought my website link would come through on that last post. But I guess not, check it out to see what's happening up here in Wisconsin!
At 11:14 AM, Toevs said…
I just wanted to be #75. :-)
At 6:06 PM, Keetha Broyles said…
Anon likes even numbers - - - I'll be 76
At 11:23 AM, Anonymous said…
Wow I feel so unpopular. I vote for the reindeer. Have a Merry Christmas ANON.
At 11:09 PM, Keetha Broyles said…
TAG - - - You're even!!
(Who is Big John, he's funny)
At 3:09 PM, Keetha Broyles said…
Anon - - - if I leave you just this ONE comment, you will then have an odd number - - - so I'm going to SPLIT it between two comments. (See how I love you?)
Did you notice that way down on your first post that is still up on your blog - - - - -
Continued in next comment - - -
At 3:11 PM, Keetha Broyles said…
My little cousin, Tony, noticed your photo and how funny you were in the comments on my blog - - - and has been here to visit you?
He asked me in an IM about that funny lady with a scarf over her face - - - - -
At 10:27 PM, Keetha Broyles said…
Anon - - - be sure you check out my blog SOON. PLEASE don't make plans for Saturday till you do.
Scarves and bells are appropriate attire for this event. ;-)
At 12:43 AM, Anon said…
Amy
Yeah!!!!!
Glad you found me!
At 12:43 AM, Anon said…
Sister of my Gig Buddy
Are you trying to pester me with the #75 bit?
At 12:44 AM, Anon said…
Big John
I'm glad you stopped by again. I lost you on the Snack Attack post and forgot to add you as a link. I'll do so soon.
At 12:46 AM, Anon said…

Big John is a childhood friend of mine and all around great guy. He actually does have a great sense of humor and naturally tends to make people laugh.

That must have been challenging since you have to type in the word verification every single time. Now, you broke 100!
At 3:34 PM, Anon said…
Nope, for some reason, maybe the beta thing, I don't know, I did not have to type the word verification.
At 12:52 PM, Anonymous said…
That's way cool! I still have to type in word verification each time I make a response so I was assuming you had to do the same. Maybe since its your blog, they give you a break.
At 12:58 PM, Anon said…
I bet you're right!!!!! Good thinkin'. :)
At 9:46 PM, Anonymous said…
Anon, did you take any courses at Ball State and if so did you know Drs. Arnold and Rebecca Burkart? They live here in Madison and she is the music director of the junior college. Just wondered if your paths had ever crossed??
At 11:02 PM, Anon said…
Nope.
Saw your "glamour" photo the other night at Funny Lady's abode.
Eat your heart out Robert Redford. :)
