I am mighty kicked

that I have been magnanimously handed this award:
I am super grateful to the two people who have given this to me. First of all, kindred soul, albeit with 4x as many children as myself, driving a van, and living half a world away from me : sraikh - the one with boundless energy. Second, a most articulate, level-headed, sensitive, intelligent person, one who I am so thankful to unidentifiable forces for having the privilege of e-knowing: dipali - go read her right now.

The rules say -
This award is for blogs whose content and/or design are brilliant as well as creative.
The purpose of the prize is to promote as many blogs as possible in the blogosphere.
1. When you receive the prize you must write a post showing it, together with the name of who has given it to you, and link them back
2. Choose a minimum of 7 blogs (or even more) that you find brilliant in their content or design.
3. Show their names and links and leave them a comment informing they were prized with ‘Brilliant Weblog’
4. Show a picture of those who awarded you and those you give the prize to (optional).
5. And then we pass it on!

Now, I normally love to follow rules - who does not? But see, here is the rub. One, I have no pictures to offer you all. I don't do that that much. Second, I read too little, I am ashamed to say. My excuses are irrelevant here. So, although I feel like I am breaking a chain and the forces of te universe will therefore converge on me and destroy me, I will go out on a limb and interpret the rules a little bit.

I will give you three people who I think are cool. They are friends of mine (for which I am glad) & will surely entertain you.

csm - he is our conscience keeper.
airspy - she is great to take on drives and muses.
choxbox - she is a treasure trove of mommy-fundas.

If you think carefully, three is the same as seven - since they add up to ten. I mean if you saw 70% of something, you missed 30% of it. See. same thing. This is the point at which kindly souls take away my award. But please, just hold on till my next post, which shows you how brilliant kenny is in reality.

thank you again ladies.
