Works For Me: Nuttin'

I'm so badly in need of a day of catch up that I can't see straight.  So I'm punting Works-For-Me Wednesday over to you girls this week.  Dazzle me with your cleverness while I curl up in a ball and wait for the In-Box-Cleaner-Upper-Fairy to descend upon my house. 

Leave your WFMW links below.  First timers, check out the guidelines here.  (And remember that next week is WFMW: The Five-Ingredients-Or-Less Edition, at the request of several of you.  We'll share our simplest recipes and see if we can get the heck out of the kitchen.)

[Blue Castle]

Enjoy your well-deserved rest. :)

[Crystal]

Hey, you just did a whole conference... I think you deserve a break! Happy Wednesday!

[Robin @ HeartofWisdom]

When the fairy leaves your house send her my way.

Thanks for the reminder about next week (I need reminders often!)

[Domestic Spaz]

If anyone deserves a break it's you. :) Thanks for hosting this one for us. Put your feet up!

[Angela]

Simple is good. And this week, you should simply get a little rest. ;)

[Kristin]

I have to say that this is my favorite thing to do each week. I have a whole list of WFMW ideas that I can just hardly wait to post. I always seem to just gush about things that work and now with blogging I can gush all I want! LOL I'm glad to have this outlet - Thank you Shannon.

Thank you to everyone who stops by my blog each week - I enjoy your comments.

I also really enjoy reading all of the tips and tricks that you all come up with. This seriously is my favorite thing to do each week.

Enjoy!!

Kristin

[Lisa]

As you curl up tonight, do you just laugh at how many people lurk to be the first to link? Do you feel powerful? Do you purposely toy with us? :) After all your traveling and speaking you just rest and let all of us go crazy with ideas. You are the queen!

[The Apron Queen]

Nighty night. Sleep tight. You've earned it. :D

[Carol]

It's good to be back!

[Jenny]

Way to take a break! That is something that would work for all of us.

Enjoy!

[Kristin]

You look great in your picture from the conference! Have a relaxing day!

[Runningamuck]

You deserve the break! Close down the ol laptop, go put your feet up and close your eyes... and don't EVEN use that time to think of your next post! Blank. Total Blank. Just relax and enjoy the summer chaos.

[Tammy]

This is my first post for works-for-me Wednesday.

Sounds like all of you had such a wonderful time at BlogHer. I might just have to attend next year. Thanks for posting all this wonderful information presented at the conference. I have only been blogging since last fall. I'm afraid I'm addicted!

[Headless Mom]

I tried to find my pics for my post but they are gone! Oh well, what I had works better for next week anyway!

See ya then!

[Just Pure Lovely]

Sooo very envious of everyone who went to She Speaks. Torn ligament in my ankle kept me from it. Next year?? Next year, I'm sure, I won't hurt myself.

[Amber (Bringing Good Home)]

I got nuttin either. Hopefully everybody else can provide some good blog reading for today cuz it sure ain't me! :)

Hope you get all settled in and caught up soon.

[Audra Krell]

Thanks for hosting a great blog!

[D'Anna]

This was my first time to leave a WFMW link. I forgot to let you know what it is about . . .
HOME VBS - for a 2 yr old!
Please come by and leave a comment (hardly get any of those! : )
Thanks!

[EveryChapter]

Ooo, I can't wait for next week. Is it okay if it's more than five if the sixth is something that EVERYONE has in their pantry at all times? Thanks for hosting WFMW- it's really a wonderful way to find other great blogs.

[Lisa @ Stop and Smell the Chocolates]

You deserve to rest! And it makes the rest of us feel a little better when you don't have a new idea or the energy to write it out - you really are human! :)

[Judy]

I hope you are able to rest!

[Sheila]

Great list ladies!!

[Colleen]

Hope you have a great week! Looking forward to seeing what everyone comes up with for next Wed.

[Cassandra Stafford]

Looking forward to looking through this weeks hints. Last week was so good and introduced to a couple new favorite blogs. Thanks for hosting this.

[warillever]

I loved your tip. Sometimes it is a good idea to just give it a rest for a day.

I enjoyed your conference recap, especially the part about not seeing your blog traffic stats as an indication of your personal worth.

[Jenni]

Aww...if I were in your neighborhood I would SO pop by with a plate of brownies and a scrubbrush in my hand. (((HUGS)))!

[Sheila Gregoire]

I've been crafting up a storm ever since summer vacation hit. And decorating. And doing all the stuff I haven't gotten around to during the year. So it's been really productive!

Of course, it's unlikely to last much longer. But in the meantime, you can come on over and see some of my creations.

Visit To Love, Honor and Vacuum today!

[Judy]

I'm taking your lead and resting today...I need it.

[popsicles on the porch]

Enjoy the rest!

[Nicole]

This is my first time to participate! I've been wanting to do it for weeks! Glad I finally got to join the party!

[Princess Leia]

If the Cleaner-Upper Fairy shows up, could you send her to me too, please? Actually, since I'm on the east coast and my in-laws are coming today, could you send her to my house _first_? I promise she'll go to yours next!

Did I mention the horrible "all day sickness" I've had for the past two months? That my house is only just beginning to recover from? A clean up fairy would _definitely_ work for me!

[Rainypm]

Thanks for sharing your conference info with us. Maybe next year I'll make it out!

[Sherry]

Thanks for putting the WFMW post up, even though you are so busy What dedication!

[Deanna]

If that fairy drops by your house could you ask if she has a sister and send her my way?

[Country Mommie]

Thanks for being here, you make my day!

[tami@ourhouse]

Thanks for still hosting us even when you are tired. We really like you!

[Jerri]

This was my first time to leave a link and I forgot my 4 word description ... "15 Minute Day". Sorry ...

[Mama Bear]

Thanks so much!

[Kit]

Oh Shannon, I linked wrong AGAIN so I had to re do it! I'm so sorry...I will really CONCENTRATE next week and hope to get it right the first time. I'm promise I'm trying to play by the rules!
Thanks and have a good day "off"! Ha ha, right?

[Jerri]

Please delete #217 for me. I think I've figured it out and did it correctly on #223! Forgive me for being so technologically challenged ...

[Donetta]

Looks like they (we) won't disappoint you :)

[Kari]

Hey, glad you're back...glad you had a great time! Take it easy and get caught up for mercy sake! We'll all still be here. :)

Did you see the latest on how many people are participating in Compassion's Fast and Pray day today?? Almost SIX THOUSAND. Holy Cow!!!! Awesome.

[KD (A Bit Squirrelly)]

I am a space this whole week so I got nuttin' as well. Enjoy your day off!

[Amy]

When the cleaner-upper fairy is done at your house, send her my way, will ya?
Yay for taking time to catch up!

[Andrea@Cup of Jesus]

Can you send your house cleaning fairy to my house when she's done?!

[Amber]

Hmmm . . . I'll think about the five ingredients or less--I'll have to steal some computer time from my Dad since we'll be on vacation . . .

[Becca]

Girl, you deserve a break!
Thank you for the blog pointers - I'm learning from you :)

[Lynn]

Thanks for the great carnival...it was my first wfm Wednesday post...I hope I did it all right!
-Lynn

[Marianne]

Looking forward to next week's recipe roundup!

[Melanie @ Mel, A Dramatic Mommy]

Thanks for the reminder about next week! Enjoy your break!

[TLC]

SO sorry to put my link in twice. Please delete the first one, it goes to the wrong page. Whoops! This was my first WFMW and I am still working out the kinks.

Also, I didn't have the option to delete my link, at least not that I could see. I am going to try and email you to let you know this. Sorry, Shannon!

T. @ Send Chocolate

[Crayl]

I am already pondering next weeks challenge. I look forward to seeing what other people come up with, we all need new recipes! WooHoo!

[Lilly & Dot]

New to the bloggersphere, Lilly & I have enjoyed reading many blogs like yours.
Your posts have filled many a lunch hour under the corporate fluorescent lights.
Thank you for all that you do.

Dot

[My Twenty Cents Keeps Moving]

Yeah, I got nuttin' too.

~Leslie

[Missy @ It's Almost Naptime]

You know, I have always wondered how you manage to come up with a new one every week. I top out at about five.

Your lacking is inspirational.

[Lorrilou]
