Thanks for the nice comments about my mushroom pics! I like them, and just wanted to share.
One of the comments was from John, at AdopteeNetwork, which is a new social networking site for adoptees, birthparents, and adoptive parents. Of course, I checked it out before approving the comment, and it looks pretty neat. John and his brother Peter, both adopted from Korea, have been absorbed by the ins and outs of adoption for many years. If you check out the forum there and you’re a regular adoption blog reader, you may recognize some of the handles. Looks like it’s brand new–like maybe two weeks? Go check it out.
PretZel very sweetly awarded me this:
She likes my moose stories, apparently. I blush. Go read Prez’s latest post about dealing with a L.A.Z.Y. Teen, and console her in her travails. In the meantime, I have to think up 7 blogs to pass the award onto.
Miss Cellania also passed on an award to me, the Arte y Pico award:
She did it so long ago (July 9) that I had to scroll through–holy moly!–nine pages of entries to find that one! She has fun with her blog, also writes for Neatorama and a few other places, and actually makes a living blogging. AND she’s raising two kids as a single mom. I don’t know how she does it. Anyway, I have to pass on the Arte y Pico award to 5 bloggers.
Any time I think that infertility sort of made me crazy for a while, I encounter a story like this, and realize, “Hey! I wasn’t that crazy!” The worst of it is that this woman was charged and convicted of the same thing in 1990. That is some crazy. Really.
Then, just as lagniappe, I come across this article about the devastation from the pine bark beetle in Colorado. Not to toot my own horn, but, hey, didn’t I write about this almost two years ago?! How on earth can it take the mainstream media two years to catch onto something???
I will do the awards-passing-on tomorrow or the next day–this post is a quick round-up and the dotter is about to go to bed.
