Good morning! Yes I was MIA yesterday. And yes I Mean MIA – as there was ACTION. I have had a busy evening every night since Sunday. Something to know about me… I don’t function well without *”crash breaks.”
*crash break: A day when I do nothing more than laundry, reading, dusting, reading, and maybe dishes. Maybe. Thus re-energizing to go again on another day!
So here is what happens when I do blog and I am not focused (an hopefully this makes sense because it s a little “who’s on firsty” (YES…. firsty is a word. MY WORD.) 😛
Ok…. so a couple of days ago I posted a book blogger video that was about what book bloggers say…. one of the words that was said in the vlog was “awesome sauce”.
Ryan from My Life In Books left a comment saying he’s never heard someone say “awesome sauce” and maybe he should try it. My sleep deprived mind, thought the comment was from Ryan from Wordsmithonia. I have chatted with Ryan (Wordsmithonia) for years and so seeing the comment and thinking it was from him, I challenged him to use the word “awesome sauce” in a review this week.
THEN (and here is where it gets crazy) I clicked on his name, went on Ryan (My Life In Books) blog and let him know I challenged him, STILL not realizing I was on the wrong blog and the wrong Ryan. 😯
So today Ryan (My Life In Books) leaves me a comment that he has fulfilled the challenge. Now having caught up fully on my sleep I clicked on his name to go see how he used the word in his review. Once on his blog I was surprised by the look of it. I thought, “did Ryan change his blog layout?” and then… because maybe I am not as caught up on my sleep as I thought, “Did Ryan also change the name of his blog?”
Yup… its true… not always the sharpest knife in the drawer…
Then… it hit me. Wrong Ryan. 😯
To sum it up – Thank you Ryan from My Life In Books for responding to a challenge from someone you probably don’t really know and probably thought “ok crazy book blogger girl….” and thank you Ryan from Wordsmithonia who is just getting looped into this craziness this morning. You are both pretty awesome for putting up with me. 😀
I should go to work now…. 😛
Book Journey 
From this moment hence I shall be called Wrong Ryan. Hahaha!!!!
LOL – thanks Ryan – you are AWESOME! And yes, I know which one I am talking too 🙂
LOL…..You just made my day with this. Thanks Sheila! 🙂
I thought you would get a kick out of this 😀
Lack of sleep will do that to you. Very funny and already my laugh for the day. Thanks Sheila.
I never heard the term “awesome sauce” either. And, umm, very creative use of the term from Ryan (My Life In Books)! I would have never thought of it quite that way. 🙂
Oh good Leslie 😀 I am glad I made you smile, and yes… he used it in a way I would have never thought of. 😛
Hee-hee, that’s pretty funny! And I love the term awesome sauce (which I’ve been known to use occasionally when talking to Mr. B) — I have no idea where I first heard it though.
I have not used it yet but would like to in a book review… of course, that would mean I would have to read a book…LOL
Time has been short this week 😀
Love it. Funny. You should write a book or something. LOL!
LOL Millie!
I thought the video had a lot of expressions not normally used in everyday language, but definitely familiar in the book blogging world (in comments, especially).
Speaking of expressions and who uses them, in one of my WIPs, a ninety-something character used the word “awesome,” and one of my Beta readers questioned if someone that age would use that word. Well, I would say it depends…I know I use it, and while I’m not ninety…yet, lol, I think it depends on who you hang out with (the younger generation). On blogs or in life, we all mingle and connect with people not in our “age group,” and pick up all kinds of speech patterns and lingo.
I like the whole “wrong Ryan” exchange. Very intriguing.
True that Laurel! 😀
What an awesome sauce story!!!! You made me smile again today!!
Oh good 😀
That is hilarious and sounds like something I would do! Maybe the other Ryan will use awesome sauce now too.
I hope he does Kathy 😀
I will have to think about that….maybe when everyone least expects it 🙂
Totally hilarious!! Love that Wrong Ryan took you up on your challenge. And they way he used awesome sauce was genius!!
I love that too Vicki! It really was funny!
That’s too funny! It was very entertaining for us though!
Glad I could share my craziness!
The Tale of Two Ryans is too funny! I try not to blog when I’m tired, as I tend to make typos and not catch them. Can be embarrassing at times. 😮
The tale of two Ryans….LOL
Oh no! That’s funny!
No need to challenge me on this, but I’ve never said awesome sauce either…don’t think I will. Doesn’t sound natural. You know how some people don’t sound right when they drop the f-bomb? That’s me with words like awesome sauce.
I hear you Alison… I am going to try it… just because I think it is funny and well… I kind of started something here…LOL
LOL Brilliant! Still fair do’s to Ryan (from My Life In Books) for completing the challenge! 😀
Exactly Nikki-Ann!
Hah! Thanks for the giggle this morning, and good on both Ryans for being good sports!
Arent they Marg? 😀 They are awesome…. well… they are really COOL! 😀
