Holy Good Crap! My Head is Getting Bigger by the Second!

It’s true, and it’s already freakishly huge so this is dangerous!

I was supposed to get this up earlier but my computer was on the fritz! AGGHH!! I never thought I would say this, but being without a computer all day was like having both arms cut off and my butt cheeks duct taped!

It was that unpleasant.

My house is cleaner than it has been in a long time, though….ssshhhhh….don’t tell my husband…….

OK.

I actually got a Major Award! I was hoping for a bowling alley but this….this is wicked awesome and I really can’t be adding a bowling alley to my house seeings how I don’t even have a laundry room, unless you count the closet my washer and dryer are in and the top of the bed and floor in my bedroom.

But I digress…….

Chief, over at (Hiding From the Kids) , who makes me pee a little, squirt Diet Coke out of my nose and let me be her Facebook friend, gave me the Superior Scribbler Award! I can’t believe it! I don’t even have a speech prepared! I’d like to thank my family for the great material, Chief(seriously, you gotta check out her blog!), for taking pity on me and sending me an award to help me with my rejection issues, My agent, Holden MiGroin and most of all, the gardener…you know why…..

So now I get to pick 5 Blogger friends to honor with this award! Here are the rules, for those I have chosen (it was tough, believe me!!):

• Each Superior Scribbler must in turn pass The Award on to 5 most-deserving Bloggy Friends.

• Each Superior Scribbler must link to the author & the name of the blog from whom he/she has received The Award.

• Each Superior Scribbler must display The Award on his/her blog, and link to This Post, which explains The Award.

• Each Blogger who wins The Superior Scribbler Award must visit this post and add his/her name to the Mr. Linky List. That way, we'll be able to keep up-to-date on everyone who receives This Prestigious Honor!

• Each Superior Scribbler must post these rules on his/her blog.

And……drumroll…….

1. Emmy Mom @ One Day At A Time for her great photography and being such a great mom with great ideas!

2. Rachel @ The Benjamin Bunch for making me think and feel every time I read her blog and for coming back to the blogger world!

3. Mrs. B Roth @ The Mysterious Mrs. B. Roth for always keeping it real!

4. Rhonda @ Rhonda’s Reality for being a great ‘newbie’ while opening my eyes to another reality!

5. Jana @ Profound Perils of Wisdom for being the sister of my husband and always keeping it positive!

All of these ladies totally rock and I look forward to each update! Check ‘em out!

Next, I get to be apart of a story chain, like the ‘telephone game’ where each person adds a piece of the story! My friend, Rachel, invited me to take part in the story. Each sentence is a contribution from a blogger, just click on it and it should take you to their blog. Here’s what we got so far. Enjoy!

A Writer-Mama’s Tale –
The Seduction of Vintage Grapes

Even the crickets had rested their legs when she sat back in her chair and sighed with a final sip of vintage grapes. Darkness swallowed……..

the sob that threatened to tear from throat as she watched her only child drive away. What did he know about the world outside of….

our small town. Was he ready for what laid ahead of him? Her lip quivered as she thought back to the days when….

Jason toddled behind his father through the vineyards and copied his every movement. Mark was young and full of hope and desire then. His face….. ,

now lined from time and stress, still shined with pride for their son. As Jason's car drove away, they…

embraced as the breeze, pregnant with the scent of ripe grapes, swirled around them. Their eyes remained transfixed on the car until....

Mark cleared the emotional phlegm from his throat and held his faded blue goblet aloft.“Here’s to new beginnings.” Her first instinct was…

To rip off all her clothes and run through her newly empty nest stark naked while screaming, "I'm free! I'm free!" But there was time enough for that later. For now she…

Tune in tomorrow, Sept. 22, at my sister-from-another-mother, Melissa, to find out what happens next!

PS- Thanks for all the comments on my last post (just scroll down, I don’t have the energy to do ANOTHER hyperlink!! Those can be soo exhausting!). It’s always great to know you are not alone and I love you all!

I want ribs.
