warm fuzzies

Last Wednesday, Roni over at Fiction Groupie made my day by bestowing upon me the Heartfelt Award! Apparently, I write one of the blogs she has "recently discovered and enjoys." To quote the very witty JmDiazI'd like to thank the bloggcademy.



Do you reach for a cup of cocoa or tea when you're relaxing, seeking comfort, sharing a plate of cookies with family and friends? You know the feeling you get when you drink a yummy cup of cocoa, tea, or a hot toddy? That is what the Heartfelt Award is all about, feeling warm inside. Rules:Put the logo on your blog/post. Nominate up to to 9 blogs which make you feel comfy or warm inside. Be sure to link your nominees within your post. Let them know that they have been nominated by commenting on their blog. Remember to link to the person from whom you received your award.


So, I shall pass the e-torch to my fellow bloggers. Here are my nods to the blogs I stalk read on the regular:
 
Amber at  A Little Pink in the Cornfields is adorable... and her first name rocks.
Travener at The Big Litowski makes my heart pitter-patter. He is query-tastic!
What really attracted me to Diving into a Writer's Life is Deb's sincerity.
Davin and company over at The Literary Lab provide a great forum for writers of literary fiction.
Busy Bee Lauren's about me section simply says, "Just read my blog. Kthanxbye." I adore her!
A gal whose handle is Pink Flip Flops hosts a new bloggy book club at The Many Thoughts of a Reader.
Jayme at Kentucky Blonde is my favorite southern belle, even if she does occasionally wear Wildcat blue.
I doubt The Rejectionist really cares about this award, but I have to give a shout out in his direction.
Finally, JmDiaz at An Ulterior Motive has already received this award, but he's getting it again, even though I'm jealous of him because he has more followers than me.
 
 
What about you? Who writes your favorite blog? And, if I didn't include you on my list, are you mad at me?

Amber, many thanks for the award! I'm totally flattered, and I'm sure Scott and Michelle are too. I was just saying to some people yesterday how important it is for me to feel cozy when I'm writing, so this award is pretty appropriate. As for my favorite blog, I'm not sure I have one. There are so many amazing people around, including you.

You are too kind. As for me, I find it hard to get through the day without checking what's up at Literary Rejections on Display (http://literaryrejectionsondisplay.blogspot.com/).

Nobody is using the mouse in teacup pic for the award--shocking. :) Glad I decided to take liberties and change it! lol I'll have to check out your suggestions, I haven't seen some of these before.

Awwe shucks... now all blushing and stuff. Btw, don't hold the followers against me. Contrary to what the police told me... people DO like stalkers.

And, nothing better than drunken blogging... like right now ;)

Amber,
I still haven't had the chance to pass on the love. Roni was kind enough to bestow me with said award and I have thus far shirked the responsibility of awarding 9 others. Now I am feeling rather ashamed:(

fetal friday?

I know that I left everyone hanging yesterday. You know, when I went to pee on that stick. (That was mean of me. Not the peeing, but the leaving hanging.) Well, I think the big reveal is best expressed in letter form. Deep breath. Here goes. dear unborn baby daughter son or daughter, I take it back. I take back everything I said about not wanting kids. I was just scaredspice, and the slightest bit selfish, and maybe I had a giant fear of commitment. But, three positive test results in the last eighteen hours seem to say that you actually are in there, getting all comfy. I guess you'll probably be here in mid-December. I never thought about having a Christmas baby. (You've really put a wrench in my whole taking-maternity-leave-during-the-NCAA-tournament plan, but that's okay. At least it's basketball season. Don't tell Daddy yet, but you are going to cheer for the Indiana Hoosiers.) Speaking of Daddy, I take back all the mean things I've ever sa...

a little ashamed

I've been feeling a little guilty lately. I think I'm sort of obsessed with my own blog. Seriously, I adore coming home for lunch in the middle of my workday. My plan is always to sit down and write. It's the perfect time to work. There are no distractions (other than the hungry rumble in my tummy) or reasons that I shouldn't be able to churn out a good amount of words before I head back to the world of checking account deposits and cash-in tickets. However, I find that when I come home for lunch, all I want to do is blog. My reader is full as a good girl's Christmas stocking, and then there's my own post -- just waiting to be written. Something alarmingly witty, for sure. Something that will generate the multiple comments I will hungrily read from my cell phone when I sneak out for a cigarette break at 4:00. So, I avoid the writing -- you know, of the fiction variety. I sit here, instead watching the text fill the blank screen of a New Po...

Sarah, Plain and Tall

Seriously, Sarah? I am more irritated with you now than I was when you called Katie Couric perky on Oprah this week (and wasn't that the annoying pot calling the whistling kettle black?) and more irritated than I was when the interview with Katie Couric aired and you couldn't think of one book or magazine that you read on the regular. (Oh, I'm sorry - you chose not to disclos e the titles of books and magazines and newspaper you devour, because Katie Couric was annoying you and treating you like an uneducated inuit.) Maybe you should have just swallowed your ego and mentioned Newsweek. I mean, I'm not suggesting that the cover page would look different if you had, but could you try any harder to alienate the media? I know, I know, they are all evil, with their leftist agendas and loose morals. I understand. It's so difficult when the world won't give a feminist maverick a fighting chance, and harder still when that maverick has been ordered to stay on scrip...
