Takin' care of business

What a crazy week last week. I feel like I need to post today just to catch-up on unfinished business. This isn't going to be the most exciting post but there are things on my list that must be crossed off.

First, I want to thank everyone that has stopped by from SITS or wandered in from other blogs. Being a "Saucy Blog" was a real whirlwind for me and I'm looking forward to checking out all of the new faces. Last week was too hectic and I was too busy just keeping afloat but this week should be better in that regard.

Second, I've received some awards from bloggy friends and I'd like to post them here and say thanks.

I received this one from Andrea (Finding Fairytales) and my fellow Saucy Blognut (More Mindless Rambling):

These blogs are exceedingly charming. These kind bloggers aim to find and be friends. They are not interested in self-aggrandizement. Our hope is that when the ribbons of these prizes are cut, even more friendships are propagated. Please give more attention to these writers. Deliver this award to eight bloggers who must choose eight more and include this cleverly-written text into the body of their award.

Blognut wrote that "she cracks me up", while Andrea referenced my fat ass. Thanks!

And this one was received from Ryan Ashley Scott (Optimistic Cynicism).

Thanks so much!

And please, everyone, if you haven't checked out these blogs, go do so. So many blogs out there deserve a lot more love than they're receiving so I want you to all make it your mission to seek them out. My methods (in addition to visiting new followers and commenters) include visiting the two bloggers who rollcall before me at SITS each day (plus the featured blog), even if only to say hello.

I'm trying to think if I missed anything... Last week was also crazy on a personal level which took up a lot o ftime. We won a zoning battle with the City on Monday. Joe had to travel mid-week. Thursday, I received good news from my doctor about some test results I've been sweating. This weekend we survived cold temps and frozen pipes.

Coming up, be sure to check out Muse Swing's Inauguration Tour tomorrow. I'll be participating, though I haven't decided exactly how yet. I also plan to write a few follow-up posts from the 9 Truths & 1 Lie extravaganza. Six Word Saturdays and Sunday Confessions, as always, and then SWYMM: Anesthesia Edition and Rabbit Hole Day on 1/27. So many exciting things ahead (including some new categories/games), stick around!
