and the award goes to...

Me!!! Yes, I was given a blogger award...from myself! Yes, and if I was talented enough, I'd even make myself a little button.

Yes, I've been given the Pathetic Blogger Award! I'm ever so deserving, wouldn't you agree? :D

And I'm going to continue living up to the honor for the next week, at least. So much to do this week in preparation for our stay-cation. (This is the very bestest kind of stay-cation, too---because we have a very much-loved friend coming to enjoy it with us! Yes, in fact, he is the very inspiration for it!)

Anyway, it's not so much that I mind not posting, but I always hate it when I get in these slumps where I don't get to read other people's blogs. Not that anyone minds, I know...we *all* go through these periods. Just bums me out. You know, because everyone's off talking about really cool stuff and reading all kinds of interesting books and making and growing awesome things...and I'm missing it all. :(  I could look at it as having all these great things to look forward to in a few weeks when life slows back down, but face it, one can never catch back up when you get that far behind. At least not if you're a Pathetic Blogger like me. ;)

But, in the spirit of awards, I'm going to pass this on the only blogger I know who is more pathetic than me...my darling husband, who last posted in March. Hey, sweetie--your first ever blog award. :)
