The Mock Dock

You guys – this was SO MUCH FUN.

I got the call from the Rose Award people that they were going to have lunch at CB BEFORE actually presenting him with the award, so they could check out how awesome his service is before announcing to him why they were there! That gave me time to coordinate with Melissa, KT’s trainer, a plan for me to sneak in the back entrance and get to see the moment that they sprang the news on him.

He was completely adorable and totally surprised and just utterly precious. You can see the first moments when the big surprise happened in this video clip:

And here’s a pic of KT and Melissa, who supported my nomination with one of her own, and ultimately sealed the deal:

And finally, here’s a pic of KT and me:

You’re jealous of me, aren’t you?  Because LOOK AT HOW HUGABLE HE IS.

The awards ceremony is on March 10th, and I’m totally going! You guys have to send super strong winning vibes in KT’s direction. It’s awesome that he’s nominated, but it’d be even MORE awesome if he actually wins. YAY!

There’s CRYING, you guys. Grown sportscaster men are crying over Tiger Woods’ totally cringe-worthy apology speech.

They’re CRYING.

Don’t get me wrong – I don’t mind sensitive men – I prefer them, in fact. Mr. Mock is very sensitive, but he would never DREAM of crying over Tiger Woods feeling bad that he got caught he cheated on his wife.

Wow.

I so need a sassy gay friend.

There should be a store where you can rent them for shopping excursions and bad hair days and stuff.

I have never watched a single episode of Lost. I overheard someone at work say that this season was really confusing, but since I’ve never seen it, I have no opinion about it one way or another. Still – there was something about this video that I found giggle-worthy, and suspect that I’d be totally LOL’ing if I had, in fact, been a follower of Lost.

If you are a Lost watcher, perhaps you can fill us all in?

Hi!

Listen – this has nothing to do with landbeasts whatsoever, but I just wanted to tell you guys that tomorrow KT the breakfast singer at Cracker Barrel is going to be presented with his official Rose Award nomination!  I’m so excited.  I’m totally going to go and take pictures and then I will post them so you can all see how precious he continues to be.

Work is going to be TOTAL HELL ON EARTH for me from basically now through the middle of April, because it’s benefits open enrollment time.  And because our rates have gone up, I’m thinking, as the benefits person at my company, that I should invest in a bullet-proof vest of some sort, as people tend to like to kill the messenger in these situations.

Anyway, it could mean that I might be posting slightly less than normal in the evenings for awhile, because work will be spilling over into evening life a lot more than usual.  I’m just warning you.  And I might be grouchy too, because employees will be grouchy and I’ll be getting the brunt of their grouchiness.

Sigh.

This is like, out in the open and in public and in view of innocent bystanders, you guys.

You may have heard about Michelle Obama’s recent initiative to combat childhood obesity.

Clearly, we have more pressing issues to contend with.

And who better to create one than alert and astute mockdockers?  You guys have at it.  All I can tell you is that it’s Paris Hilton, but I don’t know where she is or why she’s showing us her assular area.  I also can’t tell you if she’s pointed towards Mecca.

Make me proud, you guys.

You guys – our governor, Mitch Daniels, said for the first time today that he isn’t ruling out a presidential run. That may not seem like mood-changing news, but it SO IS. I love him so much, and he would be the best president we could ever have ever, and so I’ve been in a fantastic mood all day about it.

AND, if that weren’t already great enough, alert and astute mockdocker Leroy sent me a photo of a creature she saw in the bathroom at the superbowl. BEHOLD:

Could this BE a better day????

I giggled hardest at the 1.02 minute mark. LOVE.
