Let's Bring This Conversation Back To Me, Shall We?

I suck.
Self-absorption. It's what I excel at. Look, you can even buy a book to learn to love me.Me, me, me.
I'm wondering if there's a widget that can count how many times I write "I", "My" or "me".
I just received a lovely award from Angeline (thank you, I am honored that you thought of me), and it occurred to me that it's been a long while since I passed any on.

In my defense (ooh, there's that pronoun again), I tried to "commission" an award, but I think my emails were eaten, because the artist stopped responding...perhaps she got tired of my long-winded "notes"?

So, forgive the crude bling attempt and try to remember it's the thought that counts, ok?

MY very own award:I came on to this bloggy scene in November (oooh, I smell a give-away coming) a complete mess. Let's face it, I was a few steps away from the looney bin ("where life is wonderful all the time..").
I found people who were like me. I found people who weren't. Some made me laugh, and some made me cry-- both great emotions when your eyebrows are falling out from stress.
There were people who posted or commented something that changed me.

This homemade award is for them.

"We can only be said to be alive in those moments when our hearts are conscious of our treasures." -- Thornton Wilder American playwright and novelist.

Don't fail me now drying brain cells...

I treasure you, (you have to read that in Jasmine's voice when she says, "I choose you, Aladdin")

Tara, Kathryn, Anglophile FF (and I don't care that you don't do memes and awards, you won this one), Such Simple Pleasures (no link because she's hiding), Flea, Woman in a Window, Painted Maypole and So Grateful to be a Mormon.

Now, I also have the lovely "Nice Matters" given to me by Angeline that I'd like to pass on to some of the sweet commenters that come by:
Laura, Robyn, Lunatic Fringe, daisy, Wisteria and Roses, Personal Pensieve, Firelein Tomfoolery, I Struggle and Emerge and Fresh Fixins


And the Brilliant Blog award from Mikki (I passed on the one from Tara, but got self-absorbed when Mikki's arrived).
This goes to The Rocking Pony, because this is the only one she doesn't have! And The Diva's Random Thoughts And finally, no introduction needed for these awesome blogs:

My Chaos My Bliss, Mama Geek, The Mental Pause Chronicles, and the Noble PigDoes that cover everyone?
Not by a long shot.

There are blogs I read because I can relate to them, or they crack me up, or make me appreciate what I have. I can't list all of them, my hand hurts.
There's also some new blogs I'm enjoying that need to get an award and some linky loves-- wonderful people who for some reason take the time to read my garble.

Me Myself and I really appreciate you. Not only because you take the time to say, "Hey, I'm here!", but because you're posting and changing lives with your words.
Your dedication to blog through the madness makes this chaotic world feel just a bit more unified, don't you think?

Now please gather these things up and move them onto your blog-- hurry, I may start charging rent.
