Looks like Mona kept you entertained while I was away. Congratulations, Chris Power, you won the St. Patrick’s Day mug!I’ve only been gone since Thursday but it feels like much much longer. And don’t take this the wrong way, but I didn’t fret about my lack of internet access even once while I was away – that’s really saying something because I’m a total addict otherwise.
It was a fabulous trip – in spite of the fact that I under-packed for myself and ended up wearing the same things a couple of times, in spite of the 12 hour return bus trip with two antsy kids in tow, and in spite of the mountain of laundry I now have to do (my husband and kids had plenty of clothes with them!) Keep checking back because I’ll be posting pictures soon.
After I cleared out my inbox, I cruised around some of my usual blog haunts and found a wonderful surprise. Shelley Munro awarded me an Excellent Blog Award over the weekend. I was incredibly pleased and touched since I feel like I’m just muddling along most of the time. It’s nice to know that someone is actually enjoying my ramblings!
Now it’s my turn. The Rules: By accepting this Excellent Blog Award, you agree to award it to 10 more people whose blogs you find Excellent Award worthy. You can give it to as many people as you want but please award at least 10. You deserve this! Feel free to recognize blogs that have already received this award.
This is a bit tough for me because I actually actively try to NOT look at too many blogs. I’m easily distractible and could easily spend all my time cruising around looking at other people’s blogs rather than doing any writing of my own. But here are some of the blogs I visit regularly (in addition to Shelley’s of course!) in no particular order:
Postcards from Cairo
15 Minute Lunch
Yarnstorm
Paperback Writer
Killer Fiction
Smart Bitches
Argh Ink
Dear Author
Anny Cook’s Blog
Nathan Bransford
Does anyone have any favorite blogs they’d like to tempt me with? I’m all ears…
Holy Cow! I made the list? Yes! Yes! How cool is that?
I’m not surprised your blog made Shelley’s list. I love visiting your blog.
by anny cook March 24th, 2008 at 4:32 pmMy thoughts ran along those same lines when I saw Shelley’s list, Anny. Totally made my day
by Jenyfer Matthews March 24th, 2008 at 8:07 pmYou’re very welcome. I enjoy the taste of Egypt, hearing about quilting, writing and the kids. I love coming to visit.

by Jenyfer Matthews March 25th, 2008 at 6:50 amI try to check out Romancing the Blog and The Fog City Divas. I also am hooked on “The Graveyard Shift”, managed by a police detective-author and full of fascinating tidbits for my research.
by Terry Odell March 27th, 2008 at 2:33 pmThanks for the suggestions, Terry. I’ll have to check these out!
