At work today I took a wee break to read I Obsess (the current Mother Of The Week over at Crazy Hip Blog Mamas) and noticed she had a perfect post. So I jumped over to Petroville to see who else I should check out this month. Um, apparently ME. The thoughtful and ceaselessly positive Mother-Woman nominated my post about my concerns that my human fountain status will scar my child. My heart skipped a beat. Thank you, Mo-Wo. From you that means a lot.
After a moment of shock, I turned into the proverbial headless chicken, clicking insanely as I thought: "I've got to email Mo-Wo to say thank you" "wait, I'll post something on my blog" "no, email, no..."
Deep breath. "Go back to work" was my eventual decision. But now at home I can smile and say: Thanks! It is nice to be thought well of. And check out this month's Perfect Post awards - I'm in amazing company.

ReplyDeletebtw, my supersecret blogger codeword was "qwyazz" which, in street language, could easily read as a translation for "cryers," no? or, i guess, "choirs." but still.
Hi Kath! It was great to see you this weekend. I forgot to tell you that I am still thinking about your film. Several scenes have stuck with me.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the links, I will check them out.
Hey NLG: the link to I Obsess needs fixin.
ReplyDeleteCongrats!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad that Mother-Woman recognized your words because I had missed that one. It was too good to miss!
Well done, NLG! I'm glad Mo-Wo nominated that post. I truly enjoyed it.
ReplyDeleteYou deserve it!
ReplyDeleteI'm a big fan of that post. It's impossible to disguise our true natures with our children, and anyway, why would we? I think that flying your flag of fountainocity is refreshingly human. A quality I'm sure your daughter will aspire to. After all, you're setting an excellent example.
ReplyDeleteYour blog is so interesting/well written and nice to see acknowledged..
ReplyDeleteI especially like this post.. for its postliness... The comments made it irresistible for my nomination of the

Surprised me, that... and showed the value of reading all these blogs, hey.
