A little bit awesome

Today was, admittedly, pretty awesome.  The filibuster by Wendy Davis, repeal of DOMA, Nick Offerman's birthday... you get my drift.  Plus I've got a long weekend coming up, celebration of the red, white and blue and plenty more popsicles to make.

Oh!  And the awesomeness overload on the web!

I have been fortunate enough to be asked by the talented Lauren of Still Plus Life to write a guest post on my blogging journey while she's off jet-setting in Europe.  If you aren't familiar with Lauren's blog or her photography, you really need to check out her blog to ooh and aah over her lovely work and meet her beautiful family.  Also, the ever-so-clever Amy Jo of Magpie and Muttonfly has graciously included some of my scribblings in her book blog The Bibliophile's Adventure Club. I will be reviewing graphic novels there, having started off with Relish and Maus, and I welcome any book review suggestions.

An awesome web collection is not replete without including my awesome web finds, including some fabulosimous wild horse print flats via etsy, the website Zen Pencils which is able to keep you both entertained AND inspired, and The King Hamster sweatshirt.  Seriously, just try to resist King Hamster.

  4. I'm still angry that the right was trying to sell that bill as being just about the 20 week mark...hate politicians!

    But this is a good week. It's very cool that a wider audience is being exposed to your great writing. I don't like actual hamsters, but I like that shirt--and suddenly I feel like buying a Kia Soul. Hmmmm.

    PS - I like the title. You don't know it, but that's what people whisper about you behind your back. :)

  15. Oh that sweatshirt, just, wow. I accidentally stayed up til after 6 in the morning (UK time) watching the filibuster - politics is crazy, so many ridiculous rules, and scandal!

    A book blog you say? Well I'll be wandering over there.

  18. Hey sweetie! I came back, got sick, my teen got the sulks and I'm skimming through catchup. It was thrilling to learn about DOMA while we were in Britain and the Wendy Davis stuff too. Fun explaining filibusters! Keep fighting the good fight, women of Texas. We're behind you. And based on what I read upthread? Well, I'm behind you too, duckie! XO

  19. Today has been wonderful. I am happy to say that I am from Texas and Wendy Davis is an absolute hero for women all over our wonderful country. The overturning of DOMA is like the icing on the cake. It has been a good day in America.
