There’s Something in My Pocket
Lceel gave me an award, like what? A week ago? I have a half written post about it but I have to choose 5 bloggers to pass it on to. Should be easy, but nothing is easy in my world. The act of choosing something, ANYTHING, for me is pure torture. Let me put it to you this way. Recently someone I work for who totally loves and respects my work basically outed me as an obsessor (I would obsess about obsessor not being a word, but I can’t obsess about EVERYTHING!). Now before you start hopping around in front of your computer yelling to your spouse in the other room, “I SO called that one!!”, let me tell you something.
I obsess because I’m ADD and obsessing helps me to focus. I have this on very good authority. Yep. I had my brain waves measured cause I thought I was suffering from anxiety (aka obsessiveness) and lo! No anxiety pattern, but a CLEAR and DISTINCT ADD pattern. Whaddya know?
Turns out I adapted to my ADD mind a long long time ago by hyper-focusing. As a toddler I could watch ants or spiders for hours. After I learned how to read, I read voraciously, consuming books like other kids my age consumed popsicles and Saturday morning cartoons. Once I discovered TOPICS I would read every book on a topic that interested me, and then I would read all the books that were referred to in those books. I never left the library with under the maximum number of books I was allowed. Ever.
So what’s my point? There isn’t one. I’m just making excuses for my poor blog etiquette. This whole post is a product of my reviewing some of the blogs I read, and then clicking through to other blogs, and THEN discovering the whole world of Daddy Blogs which has totally restored my hope for humanity. Sort of. And now I have more choices than I could ever handle.
So I’m working on it Lceel. I haven’t forgotten. It’s just going to take me a while because I’m busy obsessing about WHO to choose. I hold you personally responsible for the state of my fingernails.*
*So totally not true. My fingernails are beautiful and healthy and I’ve never once chewed them.

Like Vikki North said, it’s almost Sophie’s Choice, doing this. The hard part is not finding five to include - it’s figuring out who NOT to include. I almost hated doing this to you, but I wanted everyone who reads me to find you. And I wanted to let you know how much I admire you.
Good luck. I mean it.
