Right now my favorite show is one that's been around for awhile, but for some reason it remained "unbeknownst" to me. (Maybe that reason has something to do with me living in Montana, away from society and stuck at home with children who get one illness after another.) LivingstonslifeinMontana told me I need to watch it and I'm madly in love.
The award for BEST TV Comedy goes to:
This show cracks me up, much like this crack up:
The award for Best Crack goes to this fellow, who shall remain nameless (and faceless.)
And the award for Best Photographer goes to my brave niece, who snapped this photo in Chinatown. She then asked the fellow if he had any sesame seeds. (At least I hope that's what she said to him, because I totally would have and I know she wants to be just like me.)
The award for Best New Band goes to Royal Teeth.We just got to see them play and they are incredibly talented. Listen to their song "Wild" on the top right side of my toolbar. Here's a picture from the show. They made me an honorary band member. Yes! Really! (No, not really.)
What do you think of those two cutie patooties on the right side Caitlin? Oh, wait I can't ask Caitlin because she's about to become a Sister. No, not a nun. The other Sister. A Sister Missionary! Good luck Caitlin! We will miss you.
The award for Best Wallpaper goes to the Elk's Club in Missoula. That paper's got it going on!
The award for Best New Album goes to this guy:

This CD melts in your ears like ooey gooey chocolate fondue, complete with a wide variety of dippers. And the best part: it's completely fat free! (I'm now writing iTunes reviews, FYI. Find me under the screen name IMightNotKnowWhatI'mTalkingAboutButIKnowDeliciousnessWhenIHearIt.
The award for Best Screen Name goes to: ME!
The award for Best Dress goes to this dress, which is not from the Oscars, but is from 1906 and was worn by a famous opera singer. My heronie in my new book in the making is going to wear it. And no, she is not an opera singer. Isn't it beoootiful?
What are the things you love right now? Best snack food? Best pin on Pinterest? Best jeans? Best baby item? Best car? Best thing to laugh at on the Internet? Share your "bests" in any category.
And ...this is the last week of February. (Thank you February for being so short. I couldn't handle another day of you.) That means this is prize week. I'm going to break the rules and tell you THIS IS THE WINNING WEEK, meaning, if you want to be a winner you'll have to leave me a comment LIKE NOW.

If the heroine in your next book gets to wear that dress, can I be your heroine? (And, can I have another one made in red too, just for fun?)
This is an awesome subject for a post. Maybe we could do the next post about the worsts, 'cause I'd like to nominate Downton Abbey for "The worst way to end a happy ending", for their last episode of this past season.
BEST ARTIST I DISCOVERED THIS YEAR: Leonid Afremov. I think he may be one of my favorite artists ever now.
BEST WAY TO WASTE YOUR CALORIES: The Next Best Thing to Robert Redford. There's something about that tangy cream cheese mixed with whipped cream, and chocolate and vanilla pudding, and the buttery nut crust. I have to have it every couple of years, but not more than that because it would make me super fat.
BEST CHRISTIAN POP INSPIRATIONAL SONG for me this year: "Through My Father's Eyes" by Holly Starr. She wrote this song as she found Heavenly Father had helped her heal from the challenge of hating her body. So cool.
BEST SINGER CUT TOO EARLY FROM A SINGING COMPETITION SHOW: Avery Wilson, cut from The Voice. He made it to the top 16 or so. Bummer, I wanted to buy an album from him.
BEST SINGER WHO ALMOST WON A SINGING COMPETITION SHOW: Carly Rose Sonenclar. 2nd place. Bummer for her! I can't wait to buy an album from her.
BEST THING TO HAPPEN IN MY FAMILY THIS YEAR: My sister's hubby got a job and they moved to Montana. SO excited for them!
BEST SPORT IN THE WORLD: Racquetball. Did you know?
BEST ONLINE SUPPORT GROUP I RECENTLY FOUND: The Orange Rhino. It celebrates NOT yelling at your kids! I'm so excited about my plans to drop this habit forever!
BOF: You, Lori! But you already knew that ;). Hugs!
There are some sights I never wish to see again, and this one seems to have gone viral! We should really monitor what Kylie sends out to people.
Of course I didn't notice those young men in your picture at all. But eighteen months from now, I might be applying for a job as a tour bus driver or something...
So without further ado, the winners:
BEST NEW BAND MEMBER: Lori, who probably fooled everyone into thinking she's one of the band. Hey, I'm sure they could use back up vocals.
BEST ALBUM TO CONSIDER SMUGGLING INTO YOUR MISSION(but deciding against it 'cause that would be bad): Bon Iver, by Bon Iver. It sounds like it's from heaven, at least.
BEST ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE ROMANTIC COMEDY: "Warm Bodies". This was a close category, but you can't compete with Nicholas Hoult.
BEST WASTE OF 30 SECONDS: The Harlem Shake. 'Nuff said.
Alright, here we go! Best TV show: Bones!!! Yeah Bones forever people.
Funniest Thing on the internet: Bloopers! (Noble and I laughed our heads off when we watched Friends bloopers yesterday)
Best Musical Group: Vitamin String Quartet. They’re BOMB, man!
Honorable mention for best musical group: Jonas Brothers! Always my favorite!
Best Person to Be Stuck in an Elevator with: My brother, Noble. We feed off of each other’s funny according to Jason W.
Best movie of 2012: That’s debatable. I would nominate Here Comes the Boom(It has good values!), MIB3, Breaking Dawn Part 2(I’m a Twihard but this one was SERIOUSLY the best one), The Hunger Games(Even though I generally disagree with the killing games, [and that they created a new Kristin Stewart with just as little emotion] they pulled it off pretty well), and Pitch Perfect(not exactly for the family[I know, I’m so naughty]).
Wounded Warrior Award goes to: Me! ^o^
I think my post is long enough.
Jenna: Oh, it would look spectacular in red. Yes, you can be my heroine. Would you like to select the hero, or shall I do it for you? I looked up that artist (whose name I forget and I'm too lazy to scroll up and look), his work is lovely! What a fun talent. My stick figures look worse than a kindergarteners. I guess I need to look up that group for not yelling at your kids too, but we don't have any close neighbors so I guess it doesn't really matter if I yell at my kids or not, right?
Caitlin: you need to get Kylie to come to the blog to accept her best photographer award! And so we can ask her how she held her hand still while taking the picture. I would have been suffering from fits of giggles! I'm proud of you for not looking at my picture. You would make a great roadie. I hope you get to practice by being asked to drive the mission van lots. I'm so glad you think the Harlem Shake is a waste of time, as I thought it was just that I was old and didn't get it. Phew.
Devree: Love me some Vitamin Strings! You have such good taste! Did you really get stuck in an elevator with your brother or was that a figure of speech? If you lived here, I wouldn't believe it, because I think there is only one or two elevators in town. And guess what: there's not a single set of escalators anywhere in Podunk, I mean Kalispell. Crazy, huh? You do get wounded warrior award! YOU are the winner of everything for infinity!
Best Birthday Ever Award goes to Emma's 12th - Grandma and Grandpa here, Grandma bakes a birthday cake. How could it get any better?!
Best Song I've Heard All Day - the one on your sidebar. Which, had I been reading your blog on something other than the iPhone/IPad I would have seen your book on the other sidebar to remind me about it! And I thought you were saying Royalties (as in what the band didn't get from your concert). Glad to know their real name so I can really find them!
Best Thievery Award goes to Lori. I'm encouraging Kylie to sue you for copyright infringement.
Best Way to Earn Heaven Award - Mother children through the stomach flu, appendicitis and influenza b in consecutive weeks.
Best Way to Get Over Yourself - read "The Price We Paid" about the Willie & Martin Handcart Companies. Maybe the mother of sick children could benefit from perusing its pages. Not that you need to get over yourself. That's not what I was saying. Unless that is what you need to do. Then maybe I was saying that. But that's not what I was saying. I was saying it meaning that at least your sick kids have a home and a bed with multiple blankets and toilet paper and medicine and food and a heater and socks and all that. I'm not saying you need to get over yourself. Unless you do need to get over yourself then that's what I am saying. But I didn't say that you do need to get over yourself.
Best Way to Have a Happy Teenage Boy - spend all your money on food.
Best Way to Burn Calories - Biking hard to the farthest point up a mountain you can bike, changing shoes and hoofing it to the top. I'll email you pics of my fun. They are of me because I'm not over myself.
I think the best sport is volleyball. And the best book is tied: A Little Princess, and The Hellen Keller Story. The best food...no, the best candy is Heath bars. And gumballs. No, not gumballs, Sourpatch Kids. The best oatmeal is the apple cinnamon oatmeal my dad makes. And my neighbor's baked oatmeal. The best piano music is by Yanni. And the best mom is my mom.
I had to do a double take to figure out that was you in the band. Seriously? I hope I got some of the same non aging genes that you got! You look great!!
Best Thing To Beat The Winter Blues?: Go to Zions on a last minute trip and spend time hiking and enjoying the sun! Seriously! It was amazing! (sure made it hard to come back to the grey though)
Best Way To Spend a Cold February Day: Snuggled up watching movies and reading books with my kids.
Best Way to Spend Tuesday Nights: Get a new calling in your church with the Youth. I LOVE Tuesdays!
Paulashawn: I asked Kylie's mom for permission first! I might "borrow" pictures from the internet, but I would never steal from my flesh and blood! And what exactly are you saying about me getting over myself? I can't decide if I'm offended or not. I do know I'm offended by your calorie-burning fest, mostly because my bike still remains parked due to the icy snow on our roads, and also because if I tried to attempt such a feat, I would go into cardiac arrest. Speaking of teenage boys and food, Teen #2 ate an entire package of Oreos in two days because he said nothing else sounded good. Was that bad mothering that I let him do so?
Didi: after I posted the crack picture, I wondered if your mom would censor my blog from your young eyes. I hope your eyeballs didn't fall out. :) I can sense that you are a lover of many things, especially candy, but I'm glad that there was no indecision whatsoever when it came to your mom. Did she pay you to say that? (Just kidding Jenna!)
Anne: we talked about my jeans last summer, remember? All you need to do is go buy some from The Buckle. But I do think you have the same genes, because I bet the youth think you are one of them! I bet you get asked to dance when you have to chaperone at youth conference. You know what's weird? We have had more sunshine this winter than Utah! Yay for me, boo for you, but so glad you could escape to Zions. Please don't send me any pictures of you sitting on top of a mountain like Paulashawn did, since it will offend me. The only mountains I get to climb are the ones in my laundry room.
I posted after Jenna and I must have forgotten to prove I'm not a robot. It's probably for the better though, it was probably a bit of a grumpy post. So, I will start over!
I LOVE that you've gotten into Psych!!!! I was converted to it my last semester of college, got Steve hooked on it and TODAY(!!!!!!) they're FINALLY starting the new season! Too bad you don't live closer, we have all of the seasons you could borrow.
Best TV drama: NCIS. Love me my NCIS.
Best Husband ever: Mine. No contest. Sorry.
Best State: Montana
Best cd to blare in my car/make me feel better right now: Luke Bryan's Tailgates and Tanlines
Best Avenger: Ironman
Lori, Lori, Lori. Let's just be glad I DID read the blog before Didi was around, and I DID manage to censor the post, so she was safe. You know that goes for the family photo you showed us recently, too! So, you're not fired, today :). And, she wants you to know that I did not pay her for saying the mom comment. Probably mostly because I almost never pay her for anything (and yet I'm still the best mom--imagine that!). All is well :)!
Nicole: You must have been doing the robot dance beforehand and blogger got confused. Thanks for coming back and reposting, I know it's a pain in the butt. Did you watch the new Psych last night? Please tell me it's as funny as ever. How do they write complicated plots AND silliness at the same time? I'm in awe. Are you just the tiniest bit sad that you are having a girl? Because if you were having a boy, you could decorate the nursery in an Iron Man motif. That would be so darling!
Jenna: You never know what you're going to get with me. Sometimes I can be a really bad a ... a... apple. Gosh, my keypad got stuck on "a." I bet you thought I was going to type something else didn't you? (I'm sorry, I'll go repent now.)
I did not watch the new Psych last night, which is pretty devastating. But, I'm pretty positive that's what Steve and I will do tonight. We don't have cable, so we just wait to stream it for free the next day. I do the same thing with NCIS.
And, and Ironman room would be awesome! Avengers all the way! But, our little boy's room will be decked out with helicopters, so no such Ironman luck for at least the first one. I do have to say though, I'm not even the slightest bit disappointed we're having a girl. :) I'm pretty outnumbered in our house, so it will be nice to start to even things up a bit.
Nicole: Don't tell my boys I said this, but I agree, girls are the best! :) How about you do the nursery in a Psych theme--which would mean pineapples!
A Psych theme would be awesome! Too bad there aren't more pineapple themed baby things! Oh, and the new episode? HILARIOUS. Probably the funniest one yet and that's saying something.
Nicole: don't tell me that! I'm only on Season 3. I might have to pull a few all-nighters. And possibly skip a few blog posts just so I can catch up! Is everyone ok with that plan?
