I hope you'll understand

     I've been stressing for awhile, now and I'd like to beg your forgiveness.  Recently, four people were kind enough to pass awards to me and I was sooooo thrilled.  I love getting awards.  I love passing them on, even more.  However, I found myself totally overwhelmed by the enormity of the task.

     You see, when all four awards were added together, I was to pass them on to nearly fifty new people.  I didn't have any problem with that.  I find that all of you are amazing writers and, if I had my way, I'd give each and every one of you awards, many times over.

     The challenge is that giving out so many awards is very time-consuming.  I would take all the time needed for passing out awards, but my fear is that I will cause others the kind of stress that I have been feeling.

       Therefore, I'd like to to thank everyone who has given me an award and say that I have decided to respectfully become an award-free blog.  In that way, I will not be contributing to anyone else's stress.  I do hope you'll understand.

     For the purpose of time, I will post this message in each of my three blogs.  Thank you for understanding.

     As always, keep a hug on.

Its a regular heat wave

     Tonight I was gonna' share some awards I received, but I realized that its gonna' take a little while to really do the awards the proper justice.  And since I have articles and puzzles that need to be turned in tomorrow so they can be published on Wednesday, I was thinking that you might not mind if I waited another day to tell you about my wonderful awards.  Okie-dokie?  Aaaaaaaaawww.  See?  I just knew you could identify with a writer's deadlines.  Thaaaaaaaanks.

     The weather was 29° outside, today.  Too warm for almost everyone.  My good husband and I went off to the store and the school library in shirtsleeves.  Long shirtsleeves, but still...  I don't recall seeing anyone else wearing a jacket while we were out, either.  You know its been a mite too cold when the weather warms up to a whopping 29° and people start running around in their shirtsleeves.

     So how's the weather where you are?  Are you rakin' leaves, yet?

     Until another heat wave, keep a hug on.
