Which means I haven't been over in a bit... I live by the blogroll and assume if there's nothing new on there then there isn't a new post from someone!<BR/><BR/>Hello - but I love your blog and your commentary on fb! Thanks so much for the mention about my blog. What the heck, put it all out there. It's mostly adoptive parents looking anyway and why not be truthful? Just as an FYI, when you click my name on your post it brings it to my current homepage and not from August (not sure if you wanted it that way.)<BR/><BR/>And feel free to swipe any pics from my blog - we're all sisters right!?! Girls helping girls (let's face it, we're all girls doing these blogs!)<BR/><BR/>So after looking at Zufan's moms comment I think we need to shake her! Whad'ya say! Intervention!!! She's lost her marbles!<BR/><BR/>Thanks again - Lor<BR/><BR/>ps..

And the all-caps thing is on purpose.<BR/><BR/>Ummm... and mostly (like, every day) I read your blog and think about throwing my arms up in disgust with how much I CAN'T say what YOU said in such an amazing, incredible fashion. I feel like I write like a first grader. NOT INSPIRING.<BR/><BR/>You motivate me. Inspire me.

First off, you ...The awards are just a great idea. First off, you posted the greatest links. One of my favorite indulgences is to read blogs in my PJ's after my son has gone to school and it is snowing outside and the portable heater is pointed right at my feet. Oh, with coffee. Heaven. I love all this fabulosity, it's inspiring. All this creativity and generosity, it's a nice place to be.Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18024229630052292112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7233227024562434538.post-78255720400416942652009-02-02T21:13:00.000-08:002009-02-02T21:13:00.000-08:00Okay, so a) how embarrassing. b) I feel so ridicu...Okay, so a) how embarrassing. b) I feel so ridiculously cool to have the most popular girl in blogville tag me. (If you must know, I was the dorky kid who never got invited to the skate parties, so this is an enormous victory!) And c) ZoZo wants to know when she can have her next play date with the pied piper. Seriously, you're such a natural with kids, I can't wait to see you as a mommy with your own two kiddos. You're going to be magnificent! We have so many joyful play dates in the near future! And now, I can't wait to read up on the other blogs you tagged. They all sound like such amazing rock stars, I feel truly honored to be keeping company with them! It's so special that we've been a small part of your journey, and we're so happy to know you and be a part of this little so cal community with you. Thank you, thank you, thank you for bestowing fabulosity upon me. You're the best!DrewCareyShowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13115220443209101333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7233227024562434538.post-83496747616443380472009-02-02T19:15:00.000-08:002009-02-02T19:15:00.000-08:00I'm so honored.

Although, pretty much all of the intersting non-ruth&aster thoughts that I have are articlated here by you much better than I could say. <BR/><BR/>Stacy, PurpleHouseJulie, Erin, and Habesha Child's Mom were four of the blogs I read (stalked obsessively) before (and after) I started mine. Truly inspirational ladies. <BR/><BR/>Who knew that adopting Habesha kids had so many frills attached?Love you guys! I wish we could all show up for a red carpet proposal party in So.

I'm just not even in the same category as Katy (I love Katy) and those other women. Or you, for that matter. But... thank you, seeing me up there with those strong blogger women sort of makes me cry (aren't I pathetic?). It is incredibly nice of you. I guess I have been around awhile, with that I agree. :) <BR/><BR/>If I were smarter and wittier and wiser and more ambitious, I'd write a blog just like yours.Waiting for Zufan!https://www.blogger.com/profile/00251869333168942963noreply@blogger.com
