Vomitrocious & the Phat Friday Sale

Vomitrocious - It's one of those words that sticks to your vocabulary like a nasty piece of gum under a 3rd grader's chair. The kind of word that comes from a giddy Girls Weekend. I can't remember who spoke it into my existence. I believe it was Amy? Wendy, correct me if I'm wrong. (I know you're lurking.) I don't even remember what she was talking about when she said it. I immediately interrupted her and said, "Whaaaa did you just say??? VOMITROCIOUS??? Baaahhhhahahahahaaaaa!!" (I believe she stole it from Arthur. Oh the things our children are learning from PBS.)

After I snort laughed about 23 times, I started to use it whenever possible, giggling every time it hit air. It's one of those words that can be used for good or bad, kinda like...the word Fat/Phat or 'bad' (granted, only kids under 17 can use 'bad' or maybe they don't say that anymore?) Yeah, I'm getting old.) For SURE you don't think it's nearly as funny as I do. That's OK. I'm alright with that.

I'm easily amused, by the way. I know you figured that out.

Vomitrocious: (when used to denote badness) To excite nausea, revolting, exclamation of disgust
-- i.e. Trying to put on 'skinny' jeans after a Girls Weekend filled with eating all things salty and too much cheese cake is completely vomitrocious!
Vomitrocious: (when used to denote goodness) huge, enormous, immense, tremendous
-- i.e. That blogathon was vomitrociously out of control awesomeness!
(Yes, awesomeness IS a word, too.)

There, don't ever say I never taught you anything beyond valuable. ;-)

Question of the Day
Can you use 'vomitrocious' in a sentence?Go ahead, I triple dog dare you.

Blogroll anyone? and a FREE magnet...

So, I have been toying around with the idea of starting a Pennies In My Pocket blogroll because I just love all fancy dancy blogrolls that others have made. I want in on that fun stuff. One can get lost in the blogsphere by hopping from one blog to the next by clicking on other's blogrolls. Hours of fun, I tell ya, hours! Also, a blogroll gets your site noticed by so many other blog surfers. My blog has grown leaps and bounds from being on blogrolls.

OK, so I'd love some feedback. Tell me what blogroll service/software you recommend. I'd love to have one that adds the most currently updated blog to the top of the list like Frugal Hacks has. Not quite sure how to do that. Frugal Hacks has brought me so many visitors...it's one blogroll that works for me.

So many of you sport my lovely little button (located on the right sidebar if you want to snag it...hehehe) posted on your oh-so-lovely blogs and websites. Have I told you lately how much I love you for that? Well, if not...love ya love ya love ya!

I'm thinking in order to get added to the blogroll you'd have to have my cute little button on your blog or a link to me. Sounds pretty fair, huh? I would love to sport a link to all my reader's blogs as a thank you...because you are all the best, ya know. Everyone else should know about ya, too! ;-)

Let me know any other thoughts you may have on it. Is it a good idea? Is it lame? Any other suggestions? You can either leave a comment on this post or email me....and you'll get something for it....

To thank you for your input, the FIRST 40 PEOPLE to either leave a comment or email me their ideas, thoughts, suggestions will receive a FREE Pennies In My Pocket magnet shown above...because it's time to retire the pizza magnet from college. All you have to do is include a way for me to reach you (either through your blog or email) so that I can contact you to get your address. I also have business cards for anyone who would like some. Just tell me how many you would like. Wendy had suggested I get cards because she's tired of writing my web address down for all her friends! Great idea, Wendy!

All this talk of 'rolls' makes me crave Sushi rolls. Hmmm I'm hungry now. ;-)

Head over to Rocks in My Dryer for other Works for Me Wednesday posts...

UPDATE: All the magnets have a home now. I'll order more later so if you want one, email me and I'll mail you one when they come in. :)

Reader Tips...

Angela emailed me these fabulous finds! Thanks, girl!

Yesterday Safeway market down all of their toys that they tried to sell at Christmas for 75% off. This includes Leap Frog, Dora the Explorer, Diego, Barbie, Disney Princess dolls, Little Einstein toys, Disneys cars, etc. Great deals.

Also Friday through Sunday is Old Navy's huge winter clearance sale where you take an additional 50% off clearance items in the store--online they have them marked down 75% off. Great deals, I shop this sale every year.

Kohls is also advertising huge clearance sale of the year. I haven't been in the store to check this out yet but you can look online at Kohls.com
