Thinking Blogger Awards–Meme & Happy Easter
Posted on | April 8, 2007 |
Blue folds quietly around the house, like dye adhering gradually to the fragile white shells of eggs. Snow is falling, still, again, and it makes me sad. I’m longing for spring, longing for raw green, for delicate petals, for grass. I’m moody tonight, tired after a day of dying easter eggs, making tiki masala with friends for dinner, and finding out that my best friend is moving to freaking Sacramento. One of those all-out weekends, of laughter and over-extending. Hunting for brightly colored plastic ovals in the stubble of grass and snow in a friend’s back yard; fighting with Bean about naps after too many jelly beans and too much excitement; and feeling out of synch with the calendar this year. Now I’m curled into the rumpled cushions of the couch, with the symphony of the dishwasher whirring up around me, and the cats pacing across warm floors.
But, instead of moping, I’ve been tagged (twice) with a cool meme. The Thinking Blogger Awards. My votes go to:
Sunday School Rebel–because her poems are THAT good, because she talks to god, and because I wish we lived next door.
Le Petit Hiboux–because she’s written 20,000 words for a novel, and is pursuing the wild, illusive profession I’m terrified to take up: full time writer.
Rosa Murillo–because her found art pies are relics of pure inspiration, and the universe must be smiling because of all her beautiful gifts.
La Vie En Rose–because her contemplative poems and her exquisite photos and her generous spirit are always make me pause.

Wow! I am truly honored! What will I wear to the awards dinner?
Seriously - you know I wish we could live next door to each other, too, perhaps in some parallel universe where I could reside in my Southern warmth and you would get your lovely Northern seasons. Also, if you lived next door to me you would kick my butt on a regular basis, and I like that in my friends!

Bean is so gorgeous with the eggs. We are in germany and have a nice weather on Easter. Sending you all big hugs. Your writing and taking the photos is so admirable.
