Sometimes thinking can be good. Personally, its kind of nice to dust off the old thinking cap and put it on from time to time — even if I have to spend a few days looking for it, only to find it under the couch acting as a dust bunny hostel.

Andrea recently awarded me a Thinking Blogger. She said to “pay it forward.” And being that Andrea is a most wonderful chickie, I must oblige.

So I’d like to award Michelle at Scribbit. This woman is a dynamo. Always active, her energy shines through. She’s always got some really cool tips, kid-friendly activities and recipes. She does the thinking FOR me. How does she find the energy to think with four children? I don’t know but I greatly admire her for it.

Also, I want to award Pendullum. She can take a moment in time, freeze it, and verbally paint a picture so vivid and beautiful. (You’ve got to do ALOT of thinking to pull off that kind of magic.) Reading each entry is like eating a rare truffle — so decadent. You just stop to slowly savor every word she’s carefully chosen.

Oh and there’s a fun, sassy, and uber hip chick named Kristin. Her effervescence and spirit shine through in her writing. And she’s a philosophical soul too. Her most recent post made me stand up and do a happy dance for her. Oh and I clapped too. (Yes, really!)

Congrats ladies. What? Oh you want a prize? Um. Yeah. Ok. Hey, look over there! (Points to the left then runs away.) For some reason Blogger won’t let me post a graphic, so I’ll have to e-mail you something. K?
