Welcome to Wordful Wednesday……for more information, see my handy dandy tabber box in my right side bar.
I made a big announcement yesterday. I revealed the fact that I went on a big girl field trip this past weekend.
In layman’s terms, this means that I went away for the weekend, without my husband or kids. I’ve never done that before (except for once, and that time doesn’t count).
I came home with a dearth of photos. Of the 5 that I took, only one turned out. The others look something like this:
Instead of being annoyed that my pictures are terrible, I’ll just display it proudly, or better yet, have a contest. It’ll be a who’s who kind of contest, with a twist.
The contest is: Guess who is in the picture with me?
I’ll even give you a couple of hints:
1. If you do not know this one, then you don’t know me.
2. She is pregnant with #3 and blogs at a site with 2 M’s in the title.
3. She’s really NOT losing it.
4. Her blog title sounds a bit like a cartoon.
5. She has a few blogs, but one rhymes with gyp funkie.
If you’d like to send me an email (sevenclowncircus@yahoo.com) with your guesses, I’ll reward the winner(will pool the emails with the correct answers and draw one winner) with a $20 gift card to somewhere.
We are in the last few days of the $100 Barnes & Noble Giftcard Giveaway.
About Angie
Get out of here! Linky #1? lol, I swear I was NOT sitting here waiting for you to post this, lol. how funny! ANyhow, yes, yesterdays pic (or earlier today) was much clearer, lol. I love how you called it a big girl field trip ! HA!
Congrats on being #1. I’ve never even been able to do that! 🙂
I know. I know.
But I feel like I would be cheating if I answered it. So right now, I will remain silent but I do know.

.-= Rocio´s last blog ..Tuesday Around the World & Post It Note Tuesday!!! =-.
I’m going to guess it is the author of Tip Junkie? Either that or the blog is named “Lip Plunkie” I’m not sure which 🙂
.-= Kristina´s last blog ..Wordful Wednesday =-.
yep. you got that clue right. 🙂
It sounds like Bloggy Boot Camp was a Blast!! Those Girls (and you girls) need to come out East now!!
.-= Liz @ Loving Mom 2 Boys´s last blog ..WW: The Family =-.

.-= MommyNamedApril´s last blog ..Just As I Suspected… They’re All Mine. =-.
You are so funny! Of course I know who everyone is, but I will send you an email just for kicks!!
.-= Lolli´s last blog ..Wordfully Weary =-.
You, of course, got them all correct.
You, Fran, Kat, ???, and Lori (?) from Tip Junkie. But I saw the pic on M&M. But she didn’t have the names up so your contest is still cool. And fyi, y’all all look awesome.
.-= Jennifer´s last blog ..I need a makeover. =-.
Whew. Glad Fran didn’t thwart me. 🙂
You could tell that y’all had fun, despite the blurriness of the picture! 🙂
.-= Buckeroomama´s last blog ..Mother’s Day Card =-.
Ooops. I gave some of them away. You can delete my comment if you want. I don’t see a way for me to do it. That is what I get for not reading all the way to the bottom.
.-= Jennifer´s last blog ..I need a makeover. =-.
Sometimes the coolest memories have no photos 🙂 I am like you though I might be a tad upset not having photos, I like your blurry one, and you girls are all smiling 🙂
.-= Cindy A´s last blog ..Wordless Wednesday- The Baby and the Hat =-.
opps! I was supposed to send an email, wasn’t I?
I’m an idiot and wish I could blame it on pregnancy brain or something… nope, just lack of sleep and crazy house with a abat flying around my head…
.-= debi9kids´s last blog ..If You Had a Pocket Full of Change, How Would You Spend It? =-.
I deleted it but kept the email. 🙂
Know I had all but one, too! Am I bizarre to LOVE photos like this? I get so irritated when Double Daddy deletes my fave “blurry” shots…I for one look MUCH better blurry! 😉
.-= Cheryl´s last blog ..Way Back When-esday: Lovelies from My Locket =-.
I, too, am a BIG fan of my blurry! 🙂
What a fun time…and now you will have a memorable picture to mark the weekend. I bet every time you see it, the trip immediately comes back to you.
.-= Krystyn´s last blog ..It’s swing weather =-.
no clue but looks like fun!
I totally know who they all are and not just because I stalk them and you shamelessly. Okay, that is why. But so what. I’m open and honest about it which takes my creep factor WAY down. At least that’s what I tell myself:) Glad you had fun. Mostly:)
.-= Dumb Mom´s last blog ..Let Me Demonstrate. =-.
Did you enter though? I don’t remember seeing an email…….
Of course you stalk me the most, right?
glad you had a great time…
sorry about the pics, but hey… at least one turned out!
.-= noelle´s last blog ..w w – what to do? =-.
I haven’t been around long enough to fathom a guess, so I will just say 4 other beautiful ladies ! Hope to get to know all of you better & someday go to a big girl’s day camp!
.-= Faythe @GrammyMousetails´s last blog ..One Mystery solved, another starts… =-.
Your answer is SO sweet!
I think the blurriness adds to the fun 🙂 Proof of your crazy girls field trip.
So awesome you were able to get away!

So glad you had a fun adventure! LOVE that! : ) And I even love your blurry picture. I don’t know any of them except for Kat : )
.-= Life with Kaishon´s last blog ..Peaceful =-.

That’s just funny! I got all but one. Oh well! So jealous. I have met #4 in person how cool am I?? hehe
.-= Brandie´s last blog ..Day One Success~ Kitchen =-.
I’m not going to guess, because I was there and I don’t want to cheat 😉
But did I tell you that I LOVE your red shirt?
Thanks about the shirt. I love the lipgloss you gave me. Sorry for being so rudely forward to ASK you to give me one. 🙂 I figured though that you love me best so you were just saving it for me. Am I right? 🙂
I kept getting so excited to meet people that I was forgetting to hand them out, so I am glad you reminded me!
And yes, of course I love you best!!
Well, Kat and Francesca for sure…
.-= blueviolet´s last blog ..How Dare They? – W/W =-.

.-= Amy´s last blog ..Monkey SEE, Monkey DO! =-.

.-= octamom´s last blog ..Faces =-.
Oh, do I have a ton of pictures like that. I keep them, though, and even sometimes put them in a scrapbook because they still capture the memory. Big Girl field trips ROCK!
.-= Cheryl´s last blog ..WordFUL Wednesday: The Magic of Google Earth =-.
You’re always so funny and full of tricks and jokes, from your posts. I don’t know you that well yet, but trying to get to know you better.:-)
.-= self sagacity´s last blog ..Bella Lilacs =-.
I look forward to getting to know you better, too.
If you were too busy to have fun taking pictures, then it was a good trip! Will you post the answer later for those of us too clueless to participate in the contest?
And as for my “Wordless,” it’s a rant about poor grammar and an appeal for help for the Nashville flood victims at the same time!
yes!
Well at least you have the memories–love the game idea!

Angie,
My old (OLD – almost eight years) camera started behaving crazy like that and I thought I needed a new camera, so my husband bought me one. I handed it off to my daughter and a few weeks later it started behaving properly and her pictures looked great. It turned out that I guess it needed a rest?
My suggestion is it is time to ask for a new camera. Although it probably won’t be necessary, be sure to have the “pouty face.”
.-= Jennifer @ Milk & Honey Mommy´s last blog ..Lemon Butter Pound Cake =-.
I think you are right.
Sounds like you had a great time! How fun to get together with bloggy buddies! Have a great week!

GOOD luck. I’d love to go to that one, too.
Lucky you! Would love to make it to a bloggy meet-up one of these days! In fact, anybody have a Blogher ticket they’d like to sell me? Anybody? =)
.-= If I Could Escape´s last blog ..Snakes on a plane … =-.
So sorry about your photos. Total bummer. I know all but one! Maybe some of the other ladies can email some to ya. Glad you had fun! Sounds like a blast. You ladies need to take a field trip to Nashville or Atlanta then I could join in! 🙂

Arrgh! I’m frustrated that I’ve wasted, er, I mean… spent — so much time trying to figure this out. Even with VERY helpful hints in the comments and such… I’m clueless about some of them. Oh well.
glad you had a good time on the field trip!
.-= Anita´s last blog ..Wordful Wednesday =-.
I think I figured it out! (Just sent you an email.)

isnt that so funny that virtual relationships can turn out to be real ones. So glad you had fun! Creative way to use a blurry photo…clever!
I guess it wouldn’t be very fair for me to enter, since I was probably the one TAKING the picture! If I did, sorry for the blur, I was juggling about 3 different cameras. But I’m glad you had a good time anyway.
So envious of your big girl trip to become a better blogger. Someday, when the triplets are a little older I hope to have a chance to help my blog “grow up” by learning at a conference or boot camp!

I’m so bummed. Up until a few months ago, we were supposed to move to the area and I was planning on attending Bloggy Boot Camp. Unfortunately, the move was postponed. *sigh* Oh well, there’ll be other Bloggy Boot Camps huh?
It looks like you had a great time. I’m still trying to figure out who one of those lovely ladies could be. Of course I knew lady number one right off the bat! lol Have a great day Angie.
