This is the kind of week it’s been: birthday craziness. Christmas chaos. Being told my newly-minted two-year-old has a speech delay. Jeff gone until tomorrow. A very sad death in the family.
Plus some other stuff which isn’t my story to tell but which, nonetheless, has left me doubting my faith in the general rightness of the world.
It’s only Tuesday.
{shudder}
But this is also the kind of week it’s been. Big Little Wolf, at her Daily Plate of Crazy, passed along the Sugar Doll Award. For, as she put it, delightful and thought-provoking writing. Recognition from anyone is lovely. Recognition from her-the woman can write-is flattering in the first degree.
I humbly accept. Which means that I have to follow the rules. Which are that I am to compose a list of Ten Things You Don’t Know About Me. And that I am to pass the pink little Sugar Doll on to one or more deserving bloggers.
Happily, happily I pass along this bit of sweetness to the following:
- The Kitchen Witch. I get her… I just do. I am thrilled to have found her. (But actually I think she found me. Still thrilled.)
- Jen and Sarah at Momalom. There are no words. None. Except these: they are hosting a Half-Drunk Blogging Challenge this week. And you should seriously consider grabbing a bottle of Bailey’s (or Kahlua) and playing along.
- And Ali. She’s my sister. And she has an adorable blog called Ears Eyes Nose [Tail]. And how could I NOT give her a Sugar Doll?! Plus I want to see if there are ten things that I don’t know about her. I highly doubt it.
So. Look for my Ten Things soon. And some unfortunate alcohol-fueled blather. And mostly, go read the people I mentioned above. Because they all make me happy to the tips of my toes.
Even when it’s been this kind of week.
Love you. Honest. Blessed beyond belief for you and Sarah and Jen. Awesomely fun spinal tap and 6 vials of bloodwork tomorrow…I will be down for the count for a day or two, but thank you for letting me know that I am not alone.
Right back atcha, Kitch. My thoughts are with you. Not alone.
So sorry to hear about the death. Hoping the speech delay thing isn’t serious, even though I imagine it feels that way. You’re in my thoughts.
And you too, TKW — hope the spinal tap goes as well as can be expected. As if holiday season didn’t have enough for us to deal with …!
I love your blog. I love Kitch’s blog. I love Sarah & Jen’s blog. Therefore, by the transitive property, I am off to start loving your sister’s blog.
I am sorry to hear about the darkness in your world and in Kitch’s. Thinking of you.
Thanks, Kristen. So much. I hope you know the sentiment is returned. Oooh, and I love the transitive property. And I just did my 10 things list. A very interesting process.
Thanks to you, I spent an entire naptime reading Big Little Wolf’s blog. Outstanding.
Still pondering 10 things. And a Sugar Doll.
Sorry that it has been a rough couple of days. I am excited to check out your sister’s blog. I already know (and adore) the first two. Thrilled to be a fellow Sugar Doll with you. Hope the week sweetens a bit.
Looking forward to it all. And wonderful selections of Sugar Doll recipients! (Which I would’ve seen here yesterday if I hadn’t been, um, you know, playing by the Momalom rules. All in the name of writing. Of course.)
And writing does help. Everything. It clarifies, and even eases the hard stuff. At least for a little while.
You’ll be happy to know I took advantage of my husband being here and wrote a half-drunk post. This morning. Yep.
