Super sweet

super-sweet-blogging-award1 What a whirlwind this month has been so far! I can’t believe it’s already the halfway point of January.

Of course, this means that I’ll be 30 before I know it. That’s right, the big day is at the end of the month. It’ll be an interesting one this year, for a bunch of reasons, and I’ll be glad to kiss the big 3-0 goodbye next year (for other reasons).

Here’s hoping 30 (and 31) are better for me than they were for my mom. This is something that is going to weigh heavily on my mind for a long time. I may even try to explain it at some point.

But not right now. That’s not supposed to be the point of this post. The point of this post is that holy cow, I can’t believe January’s half gone. Yep. That’s it. That’s the point.

Okay, no it’s not.

caffeine Oh, good Lord, am I ever tired. I blame the stupid cold I’ve been fighting for a week in combination with four days of holiday merrymaking, followed by a return to work this morning (although really, work feels like a vacation compared to the thought of staying home with two energetic toddlers the way I feel right now). This unending crud has me feeling all sorts of fuzzy, impairing my ability to write but not dulling my desire.

Talk about frustration.

On the bright side, it’s snowing on my blog again. 😀

Anyway, with all that in mind (and an apparently busy week ahead of me), I don’t know how often I’ll be posting over the next couple of weeks. I’ll try and pop in every couple of days, but right now, I think I need to focus on getting better and getting ready for Christmas. I hope to see you all again soon! 😀

I’m fantastic?

That’s right, folks, it’s another award post. But this is not likely to be one you’ve seen a thousand times before. This award is brand new, created by my friend Sophie Tallis to honor the one-year anniversary of her adventures in blogging and to celebrate the fantasy genre. Today’s award post is all about the Flight of Fantasy Award.

So what is the Flight of Fantasy Award all about? Well, dear reader, read on!

I’m inspiring – Part II

Hi there, folks! How’s it going? I hope you’re all keeping warm. Iowa is currently back in the deep freeze after a lovely thaw. I have to admit, that week of 40-degree days was lovely. I really do live in the wrong state when it comes to winter.

But that’s not what I meant to write about tonight. In the space of a couple hours earlier today, I was nominated for the Very Inspiring Blogger Award twice! I was nominated for this award back in August and if you’d like to see what I had to say then, you can find the post here. I’ve spent the last hour or so trying to decide if I should do it again, but since two people were nice enough to nominate me, I decided, what the heck? Why not?

So, without further ado, many thanks to the lovely Tricia Drammeh and Maegan Provan, who were kind enough to nominate me. Tricia is a wonderful writer and it is a privilege to know her – if you’re not already following her, you should be! And Maegan is a new follower here, one I’m sure I will enjoy getting to know. Thank you for the love, ladies!
