Very Unexpected

I have a friend, who has a blog, who knows how to connect with other people in this cyperworld we're in right now. And because she is saving my hide this weekend by doing a huge job that I was supposed to do only I couldn't do myself &I'd tapped out most all of my other folks I could delegate to - I will not hide my head under a blanket because what she did slipped me back into my weirdo neurosis of 'oh my heck people really read this thing/I can write, I really do want people to read this thing - argghh what a conundrum.' I will graciously say, thank you. And follow the directions.

She sent me this! OOOLALA.

I think she really likes me because I baked her bread one time

or maybe because she loves the dog more than I do.

It can't be because I'm stylish.

But, I am grateful

Because of her some of you came to visit

and I like it when you visit

(as long as I'm not in my head under the blanket neurotic place.)

Thank you Crazy Writer Girl.

So, here are the directions that come along with the award:

List 7 things most people don't know about me & Pass this onto 15 more blogs-letting them know I've passed it on to them.

Here goes:

List

1. I don't ususally do chain letters or pass things along.

(But I will make an exception this time-because of the giver-to the best of my ability.)

2. I am so busy lately, I hardly have time to sit down to pay our bills and check my email, let alone get on here and blog.

3. I have blogs and a 'community' I like to visit, but, just like in #2--my time has been taken up elsewhere & I miss visiting them.

4. Making banana bread actually scared me today. It's been so long since I baked anything besides my wheat bread - my stomach did nervous flips as I was getting all the ingredients out and mixed it up. (So weird because I used to make the best banana bread ever. Today's turned out ok.)

5. I use a sonicare to brush my teeth and I like love it.

6. My closet is a mess.

7. This week two people I know surprised me by telling me they've been here and read. (Ok, that might have been part of the swirling neurosis, I don't know. I just hope that I am good enough and don't make people regret the time they've spent here.)

Passing it along:

Ok, my list is going to be short. I am sorry. I'm not good at things like this. I wish I could nominate all that are on my list, because they're awesome, but I'm going to limit it to the blogs I was able to visit today--the not super, super famous blogs--just the ones that I went to in the very limited time I had (they should be super, super famous-they are super).

--my mr's sister's blog, which I am not going to link to, unless she tells me it's ok
(I'm having a hard time with this because a lot of the one's that I might list are family one's and I don't know if they'd really appreciate my sharing their personal stuff.)

--this next one because she's awesome and has great information & is super inspiring

 

--This one because when I was trying to decide what to call my blog and my children were complaining about something, it's a name I looked into. I am very glad it was taken:

(ok, I tried to follow the rules and contact her to tell her about this, but my internet security won't let me get to the page her email address is on and I tried to grab her button, but my computer is being slow and I am tired, so here's the link)

The Meanest Mom

And, honestly, there are a few other awesome smaller blogs that I love, but I can't list them all. I am sorry.

I will try to make time to make a list and post it sometime.

Thank you Crazy friend!
