Thinking, thinking, thinking…

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?

    You deserve it. From pizza delivery flashing to revenge plotting for the White Trash Wonders, you always make me think.

    Oh you’re so sweet! But you’re going to laugh. I’m laying in bed, covers to my neck, my arms poked out just enough to type because the room’s still cold and Andrew’s getting ready for work. I chuckled as I read your post and he said, “What?” So I read him your paragraph about all my energy. He looked at my prone position on the bed and said, “You sure she was talking about YOU?”

    I’m not really a morning person :) Energy level isn’t so high before 10.

    Thanks, the button’s up and it looks beautiful!

    Good for you!

    (Is there a Rambling Blogger award? Because I think I’d be in the running for that one. Like, in the top ten, at least.)

    You know I loved LOVED that post and your award couldn’t be more deserved.

    Thank you for including me amongst such lovely ladies… I am off to read what I have missed and attempt that button. ;-)

    I’m heading over to check out these blogs! I know I won’t be disappointed!

    Love reading Michelle’s blog! She has such great ideas - particularly for those of us locked into this crazy weather and trying to find things to do with the kidletts - Madam Nature missed the memo about this being the beginning of our SPRING Break! It was -3 when I left my house this morning with the Small Person! Craziness.

    But also glad because I changed jobs and computers and lost all of my blog bookmarks - now I have you back!
