Thank You #2 in the Blog of Shame Tour—& possibly the biggest mea culpa of all —goes out to sometimes Darling of The Dungeon Jessica Lemmon, who sent me a signed copy of her latest release quite some time ago, & I’m sure has been wondering if A.) it got lost in the mail or B.) I fell down a well.

I am so, so, so late in voicing my appreciation for this & so, so, so sorry for my tardiness.

To make my lateness in saying thank you even more horrifying, Jessica even mentioned me in the Acknowledgements.  Isn’t that sweet?! :img32

But while this might have been appropriate at the time, I fear I am no longer worthy of such kindness or flattery.

Sigh.  I’m so sorry, Jessica!  Please forgive me for taking so long expressing my thanks for your incredible kindness!

And though I am late, please believe me when I say THANK YOU & that it is VERY MUCH APPRECIATED! :img15

It’s nearly July already & I don’t wanna talk about it. :img22

But this does mean it’s time to vote in a new Hunk of the Month for the WIPs and Chains sidebar. :img6

So…which of these summertime hotties do you want to see hangin’ around The Dungeon next month? :img17

(Fun in the Sun)

(Gotta Wear Shades)

(Workin’ It)

(Hangin’ Poolside)

I am extremely behind & hang my head in shame at how tardy I am with some giant thank-yous that need to go out.

So this will be the first of three posts where I not only say THANK YOU!!!, but express my apologies for getting to it much later than I should have.

Thank You #1 goes out to Darling Hollie, who made these two wonderful dish towels for me to give Madame Mommy Dearest for her birthday!

Aren’t they nice?  The buttons are my favorite thing about them, I think. :img27  But MMD likes that the yellow & orange match her kitchen.

Though I may have mentioned it, I don’t think Darling Hollie knows how timely & appreciated these towels really are.  MMD only had one with the hook to hand on the stove & it was looking really shabby. :img36  Now she’s got new ones that look so much better!  (At least for a while. :img18 )

And see that little red thing at the top of the pic?  That’s a bracelet Darling Hollie made for moi!  It’s really cute on, & I even got to take it for a test drive the day after it arrived because the top I’d already planned to wear happened to be red.  I looked so nice. :img9

So THANK YOU, THANK YOU, Darling Hollie!  Madame Mommy Dearest & I are extremely grateful! :img24
