Do y'all remember the lost and found at school? The place where you went when you left your lunch box sitting on the table or your jacket on the bus. When you had to visit it you found nothing but a bunch of nasty crap. I swear people would lose their stuff on purpose just so they could go there in hopes of finding something better than what they lost. They would take the "good" stuff and leave behind their crap.
As I get older I'm happy about losing somethings, am equally as happy to find somethings and somethings I'm totally bummed about losing and I want them back desperately!
For example...
I've lost almost 40 pounds, that is something I do not want back!
I've lost most of my libido, not all of it but a portion of it anyway, and would love, love, love to find it. So if you're out and about and you see it please tell it to come home and tell it I miss it desperately and so does Babe!
I've lost my desire to exercise and would like it back. This morning I drove past a lady walking, at turtle speed but she was walking still the same. I so wanted to roll down my window and cheer her on, to yell "YOU GO GIRL"! I also wanted to tell her to stand up straight that her rounded shoulders added a few unwanted pounds to her appearance making her look almost like a walking turtle, but that wouldn't have been very nice so I just drove by with a smile on my face and full of guilt that I wasn't the one moving.
I've found that being lazy isn't as fun as I thought it would be so I'm looking for my energy. If I could simply bottle and sell Peanuts I'd be good to go!
I've found incredible friendships, both IRL and here on my blog. Friends that would do anything for me and likewise me for them!
I've lost my brain and ability to retain any information longer than a couple of minutes. I affectionately refer to that as "part-timers".
I've found new friends on my blog. Did I already say that? Whatever. As a matter of fact I've made 101 new friends. So in honor of finding my 100th friend I'm doing a give away. I know, I know, I just did one with Heidi at Sacred and Profane but I'm in a giving mood this morning.
So here's the deal. I'm giving away a little Holiday something to one of my friends. I may even throw a second little Holiday something in there to another lucky friend, will it be friend #1 or friend #100? You'll just have to wait and see.
Here's how to earn an entry or two or three...
1 entry for leaving me a comment about something you have either lost or found.
2 entries if you were one of my first 100 friends.
1 entry if your a new friend.
1 entry if you post about my give away on your blog (make sure you come back to let me know).
1 entry for joining me on Network of Friends via FaceBook. I'm all alone over there!
So there you have it, a give away just for being my friend. Can you totally hear the theme song to Golden Girls? Thank you for being my friend!
Happy Monday Y'all!

OK, I loved my Halloween goodies so much I'm keeping my fingers crossed for this one too! One thing I've lost today is the ability to do anything w/ 2 hands- my 19 mo. old cutie is VERY clingy today. As much as a love cuddle time it's a manic Monday w/ tons to get done & I resemble that lady you mentioned w/c I'm going at a complete turtle pace myself. The side effect includes the inability to go to the bathroom solo, eat something w/o sharing, talk on the phone for some much needed adult chatting, etc... I also can second losing any desire to workout but I wish I could ditto the weight loss- not so much over here since I keep shoving the yummy Reese pumpkins in my pie-whole!(Thanks!)
So to up my chances- I was one of your 1st friends & am on FB w/ you.
I love you Shawn! Count me in!
I too have "found" remarkable friendships through blogging. And have "lost" the loneliness that sometimes comes with being a stay at home mom!
Great giveaway! I'll be back when I blog about this!
Ooh, I love Golden Girls. I lost one of my favorite bracelets and I hope it makes it on the found list soon. I'm an original follower.
I've too found some great friends via bloggy world. At times they can sure be a lot better than 'real life' friends!
I was one of your 1st 100 friends!
I was one of your 1st 100 friends!
Awesome! (I still have your "gift" sitting in pieces in my work space. Pathetic.)
I follow, was in the first 100 and signed up via FB.
You'll find your libido. Get new shoes and only wear them....
Im pretty sure I found your lost 40lbs...Id like to lose it! (Congrats on that by the way!)
And I was in your first 100 somewhere!
Here are a few...
Things I've lost:
- The ability to keep my house clean
- My patience pretty much darn near all the time
- Most of my wardrobe... cuz my fat butt doesn't fit into most of it after having 3 kiddos in less then 4 years
Things I've found:
- I fall more & more in love with my husband every single day
- The awesome joy of being a mom
- Scattered toys & a few crumbs doesn't really bother me so much anymore
- My sisters are more important to me then I could have ever imagined they would be
I was one of your 1st 100!!!
Okay, I'm reading Myya's comment, and I know her IRL, so I feel safe in saying, "Blech, blah blah blah, still in love with the husband, pukey puke....blah blah...love him more every day, have 3 cute baby girls, blah blah blah." Just kidding, Myya is a SWEETHEART and her babies, are of course, gorgeous and she has been with her husband FOREVER. They were highschool sweethearts. How sweet is that?
Anyway, that comment has nothing to do with this post, right?
Okay, I miss my ability to leave good comments. Haha!
And you know what?
Hahaha! Back again? You know what? I was one of you first 100 followers, I squeaked in at 99!! : )
lol...at mimi's 1st comment...she cracks me up!
I'm so glad you're my friend inside my computer...hope someday we can be friends IRL! how fun would that be!
hmmm...now for my entry...
things i have LOST = my Boobs! (thanks to breastfeeding)
but then i FOUND them...but some DR. charged me a few thousand dollars for them...that's OK though...i like them better than my old ones! ;)
...lookin' for that libido of mine too...i think being busy in life pushes it into hiding sometimes! ;)
oh...and i am SOOO one of the first 100!!!...'cause i'm cool like that! ;)
Oh man! I hear ya!!
I've definitely lost my motivation to exercise. For almost a year, I went just about every day. Now? I can't remember the last time I stepped foot in the gym. SO sad!! =(
Congratulations on 100 followers too!! I was one of your first 100. =)
So I had to come back to this post because Macey told me she was dissin me... yeah whatever she's just jealous lol! When she told me she said something about me you know what the first thing I thought was... oh no Shawn is gonna see I went back to the same post 2x & is going to think I am stalking her. :)
I have found amazing friendships through blogging as well!
Lost 15lbs, and hoping to lose lots more! ;p
Following you via networked blogs now!
Ooh, a giveaway...
Congratulations on losing 40 pounds!
I was in the first 100...

Congrats on 40 lbs! Point me in the direction of your blog post that explains the secrets of it!
Sign me up for the giveaway!
Starting college and breaking up with my crazy ex,I have lost friends, but i the process I have gained many more friends. The friends I thought I had aren't really my friends, and the friends I have found feel true. They make me extremely happy and I can be myself for once in my life. I guess I can say I've also found myself. Life nocks you down and then it raises you higher. It's amazing.
I've lost my mind most days, my keys others, and today I'm good.
Oh I know- since I've lost weight after baby I lost all my boobs- I mean SERIOUSLY- I had to buy a 34A the other day. 34-good, A-depressing!
I'm going to blog about it right now!
Way to go on the 40 lbs lost!
and I'm going to add you as a friend on facebook and networked blogs too! bye!
Let's see -- I've lost all interest in working a FT job and want to be a SAHM now. Yeah, I said it. Whatever.
I am one of your first 100 friends, too - thankyouverymuch!!
I hope I win and if Danielle wins again, I'm going to knock her out, K?
Lost? My mind, does that count - lol! Found? Lots of terrific friends online through my little blog - it's weird how 'real' it seems :) Congratulations on 100 friends!
And I do believe I was one of your first 100, so 2 more for me - yay!
I've also lost my desire to exercise :( I was doing so good too!! Everyday and now I have to force myself to work out once a week :( please if you find your desire to exercise ask if mine is nearby :)
Oh and I do believe I barely made the cutoff as one of your first 100 followers/friends :)
I'm pretty sure most people would say that I've lost my sanity (with all my Twilight nonsense). I've lost 22 pounds...that's I don't want back! Congrats on your 40!! That's awesome! Can't wait until I get to that point.
WoOhOO for a giveaway! I'm one of your first 100 friends! :)
Hope you're having a great day!♥
I lost one of my favorite diamond earrings last Spring and the miraculously found it in my closet the following week! Talk about Thankful!!!
I follow you! And I am going to sign up for the FB thingy!
~Becca
I totally follow your blog, but not in a stalker way. ;) And I'll head over to look for you on FB now. Do you tweet?
Cute blog! I lost my camera last year on New Years, with about 100 pictures I hadn't uploaded yet to my computer. I looked EVERYwhere for months for that thing and never found it. I must have left it in a cab on my way home or something. So sad. :(
Congratulations Shawn! Isn't this blogging world wonderful - I just love it! I'm so glad to have met you!
XOXO
Jen
Okay, here goes...I've totally found some of the sweetest, funniest blog friends. I lose track of time while I'm blogging! :D
I was one of your first 100 friends
I went back to check to make sure, and I was one of the first 100!
I keep losing and gaining back the same 4 pounds. Does that count? If not, I also keep losing and eventually finding several rings I own. That probably says something about my organizational skills! I came here from Kasey Helder's and am a new friend. So I guess I get two votes! I think it is funny we all want to win and we don't even know what it is we are trying to win!
