D'oh!

I completely forgot about an award that the hilarious Blognut bestowed upon me a while ago. Yeah, I suck. But I was (and remain) so grateful, as this Friends Award is a pretty big deal to me. I really feel as though I've made so many friends here in Bloggyland... I love hearing about your day-to-day goings-on and I love that you want to hear about mine. In this mad-dash we call life, when it's easy to lose touch with people and ourselves, it's nice to know there's always a life-line to humor, compassion, support, and friendship - most of all, friendship - here in Bloggyland. I could very easily pass this on to every one of you who reads and comments on my blog...

First, to Mel at I'm Not Weird, I'm Gifted (though she IS weird... just sayin'), as she's been my friend and my flesh-and-blood lifeline in so many ways, for so many years. I can't imagine my life without her in it and I hope I never have to.
To Heinous at Irregularly Periodic Ruminations... Jim has been a faithful follower from the beginning. I adore him, even if he picked someone else to be his BFF. Sniff.
To Heather at And Now I'm a Grown-up... my little bloggy sister, with whom I will consume some beer in DC in March!
To Coachblogger... He's funny. He's cool. I just like him.
To Amy McMean... she says she wants to be like me when she grows up. I think she's pretty fabulous the way she is.
To Sam I Am... a more caring soul you'll never find.
To Hebba at JeepGirl17... she's who I want to be when I grow up!
To Braja at Lost and Found in India... she's living large right now (at the beach... in India) and I'm mad at her for getting, like, 8 massages every day when I need just one in a serious way right now, but I'm going to give her this anyway because, even though she sucks at the moment, I still like her.

I'm stopping now, because I'm really tired of doing the linking thing, but please know that if I didn't mention you here, it's because I'm ridiculously lazy and definitely not because I don't value your friendship!! xox

You know I'm laughing at you, right? Okay, not really AT you, but I'm laughing. I better get back to work!

Melanie Gillispie said...

Aw! Thank you, buddy o'mine! I never would have known that I was weird or gifted if it hadn't been for you. I was just existing in my own little weird and gifted world.

Petra a.k.a The Wise (*Young*) Mommy said...

Aw, what a sweet award and you so deserve it!

You are awesome and a great bloggy friend!

Diane said...

Blognut... you're always laughing at me. I'm getting used to it. Sigh.

Mel... I exist to remind you just HOW weird (and gifted) you are.

Petra... awww, thanks, darlin'. I feel the same way about you... even if Jim did pick you to be his BFF. Sniff. ;) xo

A Woman Of No Importance said...

All so well deserved, Diane - Karma in fact - Go submit some of your writing to newspapers - The time could just be rolling in your true direction - Fantabulous! x

Heather said...

Aww, so much bloggy love being passed around now that Valentine's Day is just around the corner. I hope no one has a cold.

Diane said...

Zuz... it's nice to feel loved :)

Heather... I can't wait either!!

Fhina... thank you so much! I'm working up the nerve :)

Heather... that cracked me up. There ARE a lot of germs floating around... Bloggy-love could be a new strain of flu ;)

Michelle said...

Congrats on all your bloggy awards! :)

Rachel Cotterill said...

I tried to open all your links (from this post and the previous one) and it crashed Firefox. Going to try again, more slowly this time.....

Diane said...

Michelle... thank you much :)

Rachel... Yikes! Dunno what THAT'S about! I'm guessing it's a Blogger issue...? I can open them, as can others... hopefully it won't happen again!

Melanie Gillispie said...

Diane broke the internets! Diane broke the internets!

I knew you weren't very computer-savvy, but dayum!

Diane said...

Is there more than one internet? Well, dayum!

Melanie Gillispie said...

I was feeling a little Ted Stevensy.

Diane said...

That's 'cause, like I keep saying, you're weird. Weird gurl.

Unknown said...

Thanks, cutie! You know you're always in my heart. We won't talk about the BFF thing. I'll never hear the end of that.

Diane said...

Jim... yeah, you will, 'cause now I'm even annoying myself ;). I'm in your heart... that's all that matters... even if I'm not FIRST in your heart. OK, that was the last one, I swear!! XO

Sam_I_am said...

Andy - Instafather said...

Very deserving winners, and some new blogs for me to read.

I wish we could all visit Bloggyland. I bet the rides are great.

Amy McMean said...

Thank you! I'll post this once I'm feeling better. Thanks!

Jane! said...

She admits to 8 massages a day and you still call her a friend? Real friends share, y'know.
Ha! Congrats to you!

Mama Wheaton said...

Congrats again! You are the award queen.

Coachdad said...

Wow....thanks so much for the award. First one, not sure how to react. Thank you so much for being a loyal reader and friend!

♥ Braja said...

I don't deserve awards. I deserve 8 massages a day, but not awards. No, really....

:))
