Community Blogging *Updated at the end!

Shana thought I should have this--and I'd like to give it back to her but she already won it! I feel like I've been very selfish with my blog posts lately, so this is just what I need I do believe! I need to climb out of my sad thoughts and just 'be'--I'm much happier when I'm just 'being' anyway. It's the Community Blog Award and this is what it says:

The Community Blog Award celebrates people who reach out and makes the blogger community a better one.

Now I just came from Shana's blog and she wrote something very interesting about perception, I think it's worth reading, hopefully some of you will have time to go over there. I'll award this out soon--I'm off to another diving meet here in a few.

*PS--Our pastor called today. I always get nervous when he calls and leaves a callback message--ALWAYS start thinking 'what did I do? what DID I do? OMG OMG OMG WHATTTTT?????!!!!! Am I being voted out of church? Why? How will I tell John? The kids? The IN-LAWS??? Turns out I can stay. For now, he says. Just for now.

He asked if I would be at the Wednesday small group tonight (remember Ragamuffin Gospel). I am. So I get to lead the discussion because he will not be there. So Cat and Karen, if you're reading this...I sure do hope you read your chapter. Because I will be calling on you for answers. ANSWERS, darnnit! And I'm soo all about leaving a note on the pastor's desk if y'all either 1) didn't come to class prepared or 2) didn't behave yourselves! Because you know how I bent by now--I'm all about proper behavior in class and stuff. And if I do have to leave a note and the pastor calls you, you might otta be wondering what YOU did! (muahahaha!)

**Okay I'm going to pass it on...it only takes a spark..alright I won't sing, you're lucky I have a lot of typing to do! I have a list of bloggers over on my side that amaze me every single time I head over there with their personalities. All y'all are unique and all y'all really would like each other if you go over and look. So I did it the only way I know, most conventional I think--I closed my eyes, positioned the mouse over the list and scrolled up and down and stopped on three. Because I'd think all of you would be deserving!

1. Coming To A Nursery Near You...(Dawn) Okay now this is a good one--and she said today I was cute so although it had NOTHING to do with her winning, she's proven herself to be perceptive as well. So, my twin cute-ness blogger Dawn, you truly to give back more than you take.
2. Pinks & Blues Girls...(Sharon, Audrey, Jane) Well now--I went over and looked and this just MIGHT be one award these gals don't have! And if evah an award fit them, thinking this is it. If you don't know Pinks & Blues, you don't know funny, smart, sweet, intelligent and of course beautiful all rolled up into one amazing blog. (guys, I think you should deposit something into my PayPal for that--let me know what you think!)
3. Skimbaco---Katja Okay this is a little awkward--almost interchangeable with the P&B Girls! This lovely gal, Katja, is kind of like Pinks & Blues to me. She's all those qualities and living up in the Colorado mountains with her long beautiful red hair, being an amazing community to a buncha bloggers. And she likes me--or she says she does. You do, Katja, right? Just say yes, I'm not good at rejection! Seriously, Katja, this award fits you nicely!

Thanks Miss Shana, because you made my day today! Alex didn't get piano pictures up for it, but that's okay--he'll have to wait. Mommy's awards come first. As it should be! Oh yeah, and Cody--fantastic dive meet--second place out of I think seven. I think. At least seven but may have been eight.

**You will notice I don't have my post from the other day up--I kept it as a draft but I am aware there are some readers of my blog who may or may not reveal my blog to my mother and it would kinda be awkward. And loud. Yeah, it'd be loud for sure.
