My Notting Hill.....

I am a huge pushover....
and 
so vulnerable to flattery....
and 
hang on any compliment....
and 
completely surprised
to see my blog listed
 on
 Michele's
 granting me a
 Stylish Blogger Award.


Did I say OMG!?
No...
What I actually said,
I wouldn't usually print here....so I won't ...
(I know you are glad)

This award
  requires you to share 7 things about yourself
 and award some recently discovered bloggers. 
(Some of these are not so recently discovered, but I believe you will enjoy them all!)

1. I think....or have assumed that I am/was a Leo.....with recent developments, I am unsure.
But I still act like one, and my sweetie is one too....roar!
2.  I have never had musical training, but love music and will listen to the local classical channel for hours on end, if given the opportunity.
3. I know a bit about art history, architecture and Greek mythology, as I devoured books on 
all of this when I was a adolescent.
4.  I covet camera equipment. Really. I drool when I read about another blogger's newly acquired 
piece of equipment. And, quickly pull it up on B&H photo's site, to see how long it will take 
me to acquire one.... 
5.  I buy junk (or junque ;-)) and sell most of it on Etsy. Some things I simple cannot part with.
I have a soft spot for things; 
that I might have seen in my grandmother's house, are of 1960's vintage, or are
modern in design.
6. I fancy myself a dancer, but dread an upcoming May wedding that will require dancing 
on my part...yipes!
7. I am addicted to Diet Coke, and am constantly shocked to find several empty cans
on my desk....is there a 12-step program for this?

Whew!
I am quite sure that is just about all you want to know about me....
so here are some interesting people that might 
just tweek your fancy.....smiles

I meet wonderful people here....

People seem to find a way to complain...
about some of the strangest things...
even other bloggers.





Not me.
I have had the most incredible luck 
in the blogosphere.
I have met women that 
create...
with their words,
with their photos,
with their hands......
good golly!
 there are some talented
people out there.

And sometimes
I stubble upon someone that I take an instant
liking to....
like PJ.
If you haven't seen her 
then you haven't laughed.
no, I mean REALLY laughed.
She is self-deprecating 
in a good way,
I love people that 
can laugh at themselves,
and have the nerve to tell others what they
are sniggling about. 

Suffice to say,
I was very delighted indeed to have her ask me 
about a featured spot on her blog
Yesterday was that day.

I am truly grateful when anyone
appreciates my work.
I am doubly grateful when that person 
is someone whose work
I admire.
And 
Triply grateful when they have 
the gift of gently used sarcasm
and wit.....
smiles.

Some things are bitter sweet...


I think you all understand....
but 
I am taken by surprise 
by 
the
 intensity
 sometimes....

Dear Pam
had a giveaway....
I won.
Sweet!

But in the same post 
she stated that she might not be able to continue
with this wonderful blog
whose quote states

Write it on your heart that every day is the best day in the year.
Ralph Waldo Emerson


Sigh.....
now I know that daily posting is 
an incredible commitment.
I don't blame Pam a bit 
for feeling overwhelmed,
or over tasked,
or over committed,
That's easy to understand.

But,
I also want to say that 
I have learned so much....
merely, from reading her blog
that the thought of doing without.
Well, it makes me feel a little like 
a child who is at the end of the school
year with a favorite teacher.....
A little freaked out.....

I love sarcasm....
I love irony....
I love a well turned phrase....
Pam does all of this well.

LIke I said...
bittersweet....
believe me,
each time I look at my prize,
I will think of how her writing has made me laugh,
think, respond, and return.

Big Smiles Pam!

Apparently...

I am not supposed to venture forth today....
My horoscope says;

Leo
Your pride may take a little bruising today,
so expect a bit of trouble from those who don't get you.
It's a good day to pull back from the unknown
and focus on what's most comfortable.
Well...
no one really "gets" me....
so,
I pretty much should stay in bed or
the recliner (opps, don't have one...)
all day.
My pride
well ,.....there is a long story...
one I don't think I'll start right here...
but suffice to say that my pride
is not a good thing to mess with...
it frightens me sometimes.
Especially when all of a sudden,
out of no where
something comes up that
Rocks my boat....
So....
here I am bloggin'
sorry if you don't
"get" me...
but my guess is
if you are here....
you do..
smiles.
