Jul. 11, 2007 - Why, it's a major award!
I'm feeling a whole lot like Ralphie's dad in A Christmas Story. You know, when the mysterious box marked "fra-gee-lay" (must be Italian) is delivered to the house because he's won a prize for his crossword puzzle? As he pulls that leg lamp from its heavily fortified crate, Ralphie's mom asks him what it is, and he, bursting with pride, announces, "Why, it's a major award!"
Well, folks, I've been having my own leg lamp moment ever since TC bestowed upon me the honor of "Rockin' Girl Blogger." Sure, it's no bowling alley (I heard some guy down in Terre Haute won a bowling alley...heh heh) but cool none the less. I got a spiffy little badge to stick on my sidebar---though if I actually knew what I was doing I'd be able to figure out how to put space in between it and the things above and below it. But, apparently technical knowledge was not a consideration where this major award was concerned.
I'm also feeling a little like Navin Johnson in The Jerk when he receives the new phone book and sees his name in print. "I'm SOMEBODY....Things are going to start happening to me now!" he exclaims. Of course, the next scene shows a nutcase opening the phone book, randomly pointing to Navin's name, then proceeding to try to pick him off from a nearby hillside. So, I'm kind of hoping that part doesn't apply to me. I really don't have time to dodge a sniper's bullets today.

Hello Miz Munce! Caught your address over at TC's fish in my hair...and I am so glad you came out of the cancer closet. My mom had breast cancer and she said you either laugh or cry over life's spilled milk and crying only makes it soppier. When she got her fake book we all spontaneously tried to come up with a good name (Mona for mono boob) She got 20 years after chemo to enjoy her grandkids etc..hang in there!
