Friday Faves - New friends to follow

Tomorrow night we're hosting Husband's company holiday party at our house.

Before you get too impressed (or think I've completely lost my mind), there's only 9 people in his company, so there's only going to be 16 other people here. And it's being catered. But still. Floors need to be mopped, wine choices tested, surfaces dusted, bathrooms scrubbed, wine choices tested, carpets all vacuumed, crap piles hidden away, wine choices tested...

The point I'm getting to is that I don't have time to put any sort of thought into a favorites post today. 

So what's new, right? 

I've decided that in honor of all the new friends I've been getting through facebook and twitter who have been kind enough to leave me words of support &/or pimp out this little blog, I'd spend today doing the same for them.

Wait...what? You don't follow YMFT on fb or twitter? Shame on you. Those little buttons over there on the right will magically transport you to where all the cool kids are starting to hang out (if you're anything like I was in high school, it's about time you started hanging out with the cool kids).

And if you are one of the handful of loyal readers who is not a blogger yourself (what up, Husband), I'd be more than happy to pimp you out, too. Inbox me your number. I know a guy.

Me too, Boo-Boo.  

Here's a few of my new friends whose blogs I can't get enough of. If you don't read these already, check them out and let them know I sent you. They've promised to pay me in wine.
Nah, I'm kidding. They actually don't even know about this. (Let's see how many of them actually read my blog, shall we??) ;)

Hollow Tree Ventures

Read this post about what goes through Robyn's mind when her period is late and tell me you can't relate (except you, Husband). It's not even really possible for me to get pregnant and this is exactly what I go through.

Cloudy with a Chance of Wine

Do you have a daughter? You MUST read this list of 50 things to tell her. It's beyond brilliant, and I will be sharing with the Things. I love #s 14 and 19, but #23 might be my favorite -
23. If you decide you prefer women to men, your Dad and I will not care, nor will we love you any less. Just promise me you’ll take me to a gay bar. I know I’d make you proud.

Sisterhood of the Sensible Moms

Two best friends writing one hilarious blog. And I wanna be their third. We bonded originally over our shared infatuation with Duran Duran, but over the past month or so I've discovered many, many other things these girls and I have in common. Creating bizarre drinks found on Pinterest may or may not be on that list.

Snarkfest

Snarky (I can call her that because we've become so tight) has recently emerged as one of YMFT's biggest supporters, and I can't thank her enough (although she did tell me to send her a few cases of wine and we'd be even. jk). But seriously, she's pimpin' this little blog every time I turn my head, not only to her followers, but to Baio as well. She somehow has decided it's her mission to get him to notice me. Or decide I'm a stalker. Wanna spit your coffee out onto your keyboard? Read this picture book character assassination she wrote of the children's book We're Goin' on a Bear Hunt. Epic.

Toulouse and Tonic
T&T also took a turn on the character assassination carousel, but she tore apart a Berenstain Bears book, and I may or may not have peed my pants from laughter every time I read it (which I will admit was more than 5).  Thing 1 loved The Berenstain Bears and we actually own just about every one of those books which I must have read 124 times each, and let me tell you, Toulouse nailed it.
I always suspected that Mama Bear was a PMS-ing bitch.

Oh, and there's more - there's more!
But I seriously have to start cleaning or when people come over tomorrow I'm gonna be taking their coats and handing them a mop or a toilet brush, so I'll have to tell you about the others another time.

Or - OR - you can follow me on twitter and see who else made me laugh this week (my #FFs).

Oh, and see this large brown flashing banner below? (like you could miss it)
It will be at the end of every post from now on, and if you like what you read, will you be so kind to simply click on it? That's all you have to do.
I'm not actually sure what the votes will mean one day, but all the cool bloggers have one, and since I'm still trying desperately to fit in and be a cool kid (see above), I figure why the hell not?
Fingers crossed the winner gets cake.
