I stuffed up and completely forgot to give the answers to Week One’s Mystery Bloggers. Thanks Southpaw for noticing and asking. I never, seldom, often make mistakes. . . here’s the list of Mystery Bloggers for the first week:

Feel free to ask questions in the comments, and I’ll provide answers. Or try to.

  1. That's awesome! A to Z for one letter. I did that with cats, but I'm not sure I would have time to do it with anything else. By the way, you may have noticed I'm no longer offering a name. That's because the name is already listed in every other comment above. 🙂

    Random Musings from the KristenHead — I is for iPhone (and Indian Food)

  2. Hey Lee,

    I, I and I. Yes, I backtracked to this posting because poor Penny the Jack Russell dog and modest internet superstar has had to take a time out from trying to keep up with this incredibly silly A to Z.

    So, why am I here? Good question. Before I go back to my very own Tiki Hut, I see some semblance of sanity on your site. For you have done the entire alphabet in one posting. Texas just lurves y'all I now assume that your next post after this post must just be a tease because you have finished the A to Z. THANK YOU!

    As ever and in continuing confusion,

    Gary

  12. Should I give you the "Top 10" reasons I know this? teehee! It's Carol from "the Hut"!

    Thanks for posting the bloggers. A couple a new to me, so I will check 'em out. 🙂

  17. My goodness…I completely forgot about the existence of Whataburger! Many of these icons are definitely bringing me back to my time in Texas, =)
