Feel me up Friday Awards: Blow Pops and Toe Nails

I don't know where my mind's been, but once again, Friday came from nowhere. I didn't even read...wait for it...wait...BLOGS yesterday. *Gasp* Maybe it's because I've been so focused on finding answers, I've yet to breathe. So, hold on a sec while I inhale.

Wait.

Wait.

Okay, thanks. I feel better now. Because of recent happenings that have left Candyland somewhat burned the eff out, I'm leaving this Friday feel up to a dear friend of mine, also known as the hubs. Be gentle with him, he likes to take things slow, and long walks on the beach. Buy him dinner first, or at least say you "thought" of buying him dinner so he doesn't feel violated. Without further adieu, Friday's facts presented by...Erik G.

Random Fact:  Some people have you from hello, Candyland had me at blow pop, tongue ring, mini skirt and trucker hat.  She was quite the minx or my Funcie Fox or my Muncie Maven as she would be so lovingly known.

Random Fact:  Candyland once ripped her entire big toe nail off on the bottom of a bathroom door at the Olive Garden.  It's proof that flip flops are not a good footwear choice regardless of how hot it is because you never know when a pesky door will be lurking around the corner.

OMG. That was fantastic! Have you been taking lessons? I think the hubs can tell! Mommy Daddy like. In honor of F Day this weekend, the winners of my Imma do Candyland Better than Candyland Contest! I had to divvy up prizes because a few of the entrants are overseas (therefor only eligible for the critique), so that's why it looks crazy. The plus? One extra winner. Aside from blog posts, the other winners were chosen at random. Feeling lucky?
