I did say I would be neglecting my blog for a while, and that is exactly what happened. Between the rugrats and their schedules, the house, my husband and my guest post for Kim, I’ve haven’t so much as read my favorites, let alone post. I am not waiting
to exhale a sigh of relief, as I finished and posted my guest post on Kim’s I Wasn’t Always Like This blog. After much self-imposed
stress and anxiety and fear of letting Kim down, it’s completed. Good or bad, poor taste or falling flat, I gave it my best effort
and all of my energies, and that’s all I could do. So if you would all be so kind as to go over to Kim’s and check out my efforts,
it would truly be appreciated. Nothing has brought out my fears of not measuring up like doing this guest post. Now I’ll be holding my breath that Kim will like it, or at the very least feel it was adequate.

During my preoccupation with my guest post, it has been brought to my attention that I, along with a few of my absolute favorite ladies, were nominated for a Women’s Blog Awards. One Woman’s World is hosting The 2006 Share The Love Blog Awards, and
that someone nominated me for Best Writing. I am honored and humbled that someone out there thinks I write well! Whoever it was who nominated me, thank you. That was so very thoughtful and kind. 



Besides myself, Tracy at Just For Future Reference was nominated for Most Meetable In Real Life. I love Tracy; she is a beautiful, honest lady, down to earth and warm. I look forward to meeting Tracy, hopefully in the near future as well! Congratulations
girlfriend.

In the category of Best Design, is another one of my good friends, Jade, from Jaded Sunburns. Her presentation and blog designs are always fresh and up to date, impeccably designed by the very talented Tech Wench, who Jade commissions to do all of the
designs on Jaded Sunburns. Jade’s ideas are always creative, unique and eye catching. Congratulations Jade. And to Tech Wench
whose talents are extraordinary!

In the Most Inspirational category is a lady I have met in “real life,” a woman I call my friend, and who I have read since the day she started blogging. Rhonda, or her blog name Oh Girl, was nominated for Most Inspirational. A title I can vouch for, as before
she started blogging, she was reading mine and always leaving encouraging comments for me. Congratulations Oh Girl! I have to
mention, that Oh Girl is grieving for the loss of her father, who passed away yesterday. Stop by and extend your condolences to
this lovely and sweet lady. Sending you love and hugs girlfriend. I am so very very sorry for your loss!

A special thank you to One Woman’s World for all the work that goes into a Blog Awards. Be sure to stop by and check out all of the wonderful women who were nominated. I plan on doing the same, and believe I will come up with more than a few to add to
my blogroll.
