Bright spots & spitwads
Roxane at Days gave me a "Sunshine Award"! Thanks so much, Roxane! I think your blog is a sunshine-y place, too. Roxane writes a very real, fun and witty blog that I hope you will check out! I hope that my little SPOT on the dubyadubyadubya DOT (that was absolutely horrible and I fully realize it) is a bright place to be. As I said in my last post, I intentionally TRY to make this blog a cheerful place that does not cross many boundary lines into sticky, hot topics (such as fresh tar). I sometimes wonder if I should just abandon that plan and get after it when I read something I disagree with on other blogs, in the newspaper (okay...the Q&A section of Parade magazine), on CNN (the brief part I see when on the treadmill), on Fox (the parts I catch as I cross the livingroom to go eat cookies in the kitchen), etc. Most of the time, I decide it is best to just stick to writing about things that I find funny. Maybe one of these days I'll abandon it all and arrive on my blog on top of a soapbox, but I doubt it. Those little Lever 2000 boxes can't hold much weight.Part of the deal with The Sunshine Award is to pass it on to 12 other bloggers. Some of these blogs are very new to me and some I have been following for a while (like my friend Kristy's blog, Kiki's Crowd, down there). There are so many great ones out there, of course, but I have picked 12 that I find amusing, funny, uplifting or inspirational. I'm sure you'll agree!
I also fully realize that many of you may not participate in blog awards. Ain't no thang, chicken wang! Although I may wail loudly while pounding my fists into my forehead over your decision to stop the award right here and now, I will recover. I will post again.
