Maybe I am Not So Bad After All

I was out to dinner at a Mexican joint last night with three of my former co-workers. We have not seen each other in quite a while, thus we were filling each other in on love lives, career paths, and the sort as gals do. After hearing about all the exciting things going on in my friends’ lives and seeing how successful they are becoming, I sat with a discouraged feeling in my gut. My phone’s e-mail button blinked one lonely notification. Probably just my daily loser.com newsletter. I opened the e-mail anyway in a moment of lulled conversation at the table. Then, the biggest grin cruised across my face.

A very splendid blogger nominated me for the Liebster Award! My friends probably all assumed I was receiving flirty texts when they saw my gleaming, but the reality was way better. I wanted to go home and post immediately, but being that it was rounding ten o’clock, and I was a couple of beers and one (secretly celebratory) shot of tequila deep, I decided to wait until this morning. I also wanted to make sure I followed the rules. For those that I have nominated below, you can find the rules at the blog of my nominator, agreycat. Not only is his writing intriguing with its flares of nostalgia, but he also is obviously very interactive in the blogging community. Everyone go check him out, and thanks again my man!

Now, it is time for me to play Liebster blog award fairy. Let me grab my wand. Oh, and please forgive me as well if I break the less than 200 followers rule. I still haven’t figured out why after I follow someone I can no longer see their follower count. If anyone knows where my brain is malfunctioning on that one, it would be stellar if you’d let me know. Okay, drum roll. Here are five blogs, aside from agreycat’s of course, that I truly enjoy reading and you will too:

This Guy

A really insightful lady

A flipping funny lady

Stories and food. ‘Nuff said.

Because she is a fellow Louisianian. And talented.

I will be attempting  to post my originally planned material later today, but if it turns out to be tomorrow everyone now has plenty of reading material. Check out these ladies and gentlemen and stay tuned for my next post. It includes an embarrassing childhood photo. Just saying.
