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:(

Jud Was Right: Karen DID NOT damage her Lexus on the Traverse - A Garage Story

Edit: ideal to read this with the FOIA drive open to access each ring video referenced as you go. Other recommended research/ reading: The Commonwealth's Statement of the Case June 2022 pg 14, and Evan Brent's trial 2 testimony. I am now CERTAIN Karen broke her taillight pulling into John's garage when she arrived home from FV. Here's why: The first time we see it broken (to my eye!) is  in the FOIA Ring Doorbell cam - we see Karen backing out at 5:07am. As Boozey Beauty pointed out, the angle in which she's backing out is odd. The beginning of the FOIA footage shows the SUV backing out and if you move the banner showing the play/ pause buttons, I think you'll see it. Watch the first 3 seconds, if you haven't already. I watched in .25 speed and paused each second. FOIA file ID 1643450878000. The TL doesn’t look “right” as it passes the illuminated vertical frame of the garage door on the left of the screen. Look at shape, not color. It’s better on video, bu...

Last Call: John O'Keefe's Journey from Waterfall to Fairview (12:11:09am - 12:21:09)

I tend to bury the lead, so let me say this up front: I won't get to any of it in this post, but by 12:24:22am on January 29, 2022, John O'Keefe had arrived at 34 Fairview, gone into the house, been incapacitated, and had been dragged down the two short flights of stairs down to the basement, and up the stairs to and through the bulkhead door.  Yes. All of this happened by 12:24:22am. And here's how I started my research this week to figure it out: When I decided to look at timeline, I didn't think I'd spend all my free time in an entire DAY focusing on the short time frame of 12:11am - 12:21:09. I wanted to go "back to the start" (shoutout to Coldplay!) and figure out what the time discrepancy was really all about. I started with steps: Hyde (report) 12:11:09 - 12:21:09 170 steps 326 feet Guarino (testimony) 12:11:09 – 12:21:05 170 steps 326 feet Whiffin (report) ...

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...
