Passing on the luv

Finch at Grizzly Eggs gave me a sweet peer-to-peer award. Thanks, Finch! Check her out if you haven't already; she writes with a searing honesty that helps us all feel OK about what we're actually feeling.

She also sent big-ups to some other of my favorites: Delinquent Eggs (Adele is such a beautiful presence), Glum Bunny (who isn't particularly glum), and Such a Good Egg (who really is a SAGE). I'll check out her other awardees post-haste!

The award comes with five rules:


1) Thank the person who nominated you for this award
 (Check)

2) Copy the award and place it in your blog
 (Check)

3) Link to the person who nominated you for this award
 (Check)

4) Tell us 7 interesting things about you
 (see below)

5) Nominate 7 bloggers and link to their blogs (see below)

Seven interesting things, hmm ...

1. I play old-time banjo
2. In H.S. I was a state-champion shot-putter
3. I love vegetables that most people hate, like beets, parsnips, and turnips
4. I spent a year studying a social movement in Puerto Rico
5. I'm a good salsa dancer
6. I make a good gumbo
7. Sometimes I dream about being a farmer, even though I don't really garden now

Since Grizzly Eggs already awarded some of my favorites I can award seven more!

My seven awardees are ...

1. My first blogging inspiration and proud adoptive mother, Kelli at Waiting for Sprout.
2. Susie at Six Months (At a Time).
3. Megan at Bottoms Off and On the Table.
4. Murgdan at Conceive This!
5. Jay at Stuck in a Baby Drought.
6. Lisa at Wanna be Momma.
7. Al at Mission: Motherhood.

I can't say often enough what a lifeline this blogging network is. It restores me.
