Cool News

So last week Vanessa Van Petten wrote a post entitled, "50 Best Mom Blogs". And get this - I'm on it. No, seriously. There are some damn fabulous blogs on that list (well, they're probably all fabulous, but I haven't read them all yet) and I feel like I just got invited to sit at the grown-ups' table. I don't actually feel worthy, so I haven't really done anything about it for a week. But then I realized that Vanessa totally deserves a shout out. And I thought it would seem weird if I praised her post without mentioning that I'm in it. So, um, have I totally negated my cool factor yet?

Well, that's okay, because I have more coolness: Canadianflake gave me an award.



How cool is that? What I would love to do is give this award to everyone who comments and reads regularly and especially to those of you who have subscribed. But I don't know who's subscribed (is there any way to find that out?) and I'm not sure how I'd define "regularly". But if you feel that you fit into those categories, please assume that I am passing the award on to you. And those of you that are on my Google Reader, whose blogs I read and comment on at least every week? The award is for you too. Here. Now go give it to someone else.

Seriously, I can't narrow down all the people I love in Blogland - there are just too many of you. But I expect to see this award on all of your sidebars/award pages right away. For reals, I really want YOU to have it.

In other cool news, have any of you started watching the John Adams miniseries on HBO? I know I'm a history geek, but it is AMAZING. If you've always hated history, watch it and see how compelling it can be. And if you like history, you will LOVE this.
