Award time

The perfect way to ease back into blogging, with an award ceremony and a bit of linklove for my friends who have sent me love while I’ve been sick.

Although to be honest, I’ve been considering letting the whole thing blow and eloping with my pillow.
We’ve gotten to know each other really well in the last 3 weeks.

I’ve got a few awards to hand out before I do that though, so don’t write me off just yet.

So, to The Smile Award. Because I’ve really needed some smiles lately. Thank you to Tonya for choosing Kidzarama for this award.

Tonya is an Aussie Mum living in California, and currently visiting famiily back here in Oz at the moment.

Hope you’re having a great time, Tonya!

I hereby nominate:

1. Willow at Apron Strings and Angst, for her lovely comments, tweets & emails over the past few weeks.
2. Trish, because she’s been in need of smiles lately. ~ And shares them so readily herself.
3. Lauren of Can You Be a Part of My Life?, for her sense of humour and support.
4. Mummified x 5’s Tina, because she gets our weather before we do and it’s good to have someone to commiserate with.
5. Kate at Picklebums, another Aussie mum. I just love the name of her blog, it gives me the giggles every time.

Thank you all for your patience and lovely words while I’ve been so ill.

The kidz were kind enough to bring home a nice virus each and shared them with me last week, but it looks like we’re all on the road to recovery finally.

We’ve still got out kitty~camper in the back yard, and I’ve been spending some time laying in the sun with her.  She has a very gentle, healing energy, and it’s perfect timing that she’s turned up just now.

But more about that later…

While You Were Sleeping…

I really have no reason for the title of this post, save that I love the movie and a lot apparently happened in the blogosphere while we were away. Just like it did for the poor schmuck in While You Were Sleeping.

And Bill Pullman was really cute back then.

Amazingly, I’ve received no fewer than three awards in the last week, all while I was absent from my post here at Kidzarama.

Now, the first thought that I had was that I should have a break more often if this is the sort of thing that happens.

But then I began to wonder:  Am I being rewarded for not blogging?
Hmmm… Just because you’re paranoid doesn’t mean they’re not out to get you.

Paranoia aside, I really am extremely touched to have friends who love me enough to admit publicly to knowing me.

I plan to take my time in bestowing these special awards upon others, one at a time.

So hang around over the next few weeks and you may just be one of the lucky recipients.
