It would seem there is a method to my madness. The order amongst chaos may be in the numbers for my favorite is three & this, my third blog, is the one finally providing me a home online. Then again, it may be that; the synchronicity of having a brick & mortar home at last. The wait implied therein & explained herein points to patience as wondrous things do seem to come to those who wait.
Whatever the reason, the timing brings it all together. Not only will this blog never be abandoned (tho’ my cold, sick fingers will periodically be pried off) but it turns out I’m not the only one who enjoys it! So, one form my ordered chaos is taking is that no sooner am I tagged then awards start arriving.
Having always been one to welcome votes of confidence, what can I say but keep ‘em coming!?
Ever so cleverly, Nom de plume The Poetress has included a tag with my very first award. I cannot thank you enough, Michelle! Thus, my acceptance speech for being declared an Amazing Blogger is presented as
“7 Weird or Random Facts”:
- I require but don’t need coffee; it doesn’t keep me awake.
- I know much but remember little; making me my own fact checker.
- I have to be reminded of my own memories; which doesn’t always work.
- I’m first in my family to stay w/a 1st husband; but he’s also my 2nd.
- I’m ill but have no diagnosis; nor can I afford one anytime soon.
- I’m an alcoholic that drinks; moderation IS the family mantra.
- I’m a poet without poems; so have opted for prose.
Just when I thought I couldn’t be more proud or touched, especially in the head, “Omyword!” did Lisa say that? Turns out I make her smile, as does RhodesTer, & we both got some lovin’ to boot.. Truth be told, imparting love & inspiring smiles are my raison d’être. You guessed it, I’m a hugger & am feeling the virtual love so — to all you who keep coming back — “I’m gonna love [you], and squeeze [you] and call [you] George.”
Well, George, since I am feeling so loving & want to keep you smiling, I won’t be tagging today. However, I challenge (read as beg) you to leave a weird, random fact or seven in the comments. As for blogging credit going where credit is due, those of you reading this ARE spreadin’ the LOVE & helpin’ make the SMILES!!! Consider yourselves squeezed..

Well coffeesister, call me George cause I’m starting to be a big fan of yours. Yip, indeed you are an ‘Amazing Blogger’. I’m not sure if it’s the coffee or drinking deeply in your unique sense of humor while in-between you shed light on those in need such as National Homeless Youth Awareness Month. Perhaps it’s your candid honesty, “an alcoholic that drinks; moderation IS the family mantra”, van-dwelling, or the window view of Family you share. Maybe it’s a combination of all and more, but one thing is for certain; I’ll be back for more cups of whatever you are brewing Sister!
I feel the same way about coffee and poems
Congrats on the awards!!!
Seven weird things about me? Oh hey that’s easy…I can come up with about 25 right off the top of my head…
But in order to spare you a groan or two, I’ll only list a few
Love your blog, and I was waiting (hoping) you’d make another post!
So here’s to high strangeness, I salute you! Congrats on your awards, you deserve them!
1) I’m deathly afraid of moths, any size, shape or color
2) I’m afraid of the dark, & at 38 years of age I still sleep w/a nightlight on
3) I believe in ufos and bigfoot, but if either made a home in my backyard I’d pee my pants
Peace, love and white light, Nick
I just did a weird facts thing on Wonderland—there’s only so much weirdness I want to share.
I’ve been meaning to tell you: everything good I know about love I learned from Valentine…grok me?
Grok you, my waterbrother, I do! Valentine Michael Smith is the source of much of what I live by &, asked in college who I’d like to meet from fiction, my instant answer was Jubal Harshaw. A favorite of his quotes: “Love is that condition in which the happiness of another person is essential to your own.”
Enjoyed your weirdness, I did.. I grok “studying to study” & applaud your choice in studies. Gokoun o inorimasu.
Aquafraternally Yours |_|)
Seven strange things, eh? Hmmm. *grins*
1. I sleep with a pillow tucked between my knees.
2. I’m a believer in the faerie folk.
3. I believe that our thoughts manifest, becoming our reality.
4. I’ve experienced more failures than success, but that doesn’t keep me from aiming high.
5. I distort names and titles constantly (as in calling the movie “Johnny English” “Old English”, and “Finding Neverland” “Leaving Neverland”. My memory fails me with titles.
6. I like spiders (when I don’t feel they’re a threat).
7. I like snakes (again, when there’s no threat).
Ah… good. I was searching my mind for more strange facts when I’d realized I’d already reached # 7. *smiles*
*Sparky*
Fantastic! Those are all quite true of me.. Tis a shame the meme only asked for seven.
#1 isn’t exactly but I do use a pillow for my bad knee when it’s acting up. As for #5, proper nouns have become a bane of my existence for there’s simply no context with which to recall them. Excellent alternative names tho’. YAY for 6 & 7 as you help prove not all girls are squeamish when it comes to squigglies. Moses, who was my pet snake, has been commemorated around my left ankle. Snakes symbolize rebirth in Asian cultures & Irises do in Egypt so he’s holding a purple Iris (my favorite flower) in his tail.
