Still Blushing

If you don't hear from me for a few weeks, don't worry. I'm just going to be really busy erecting my shrine to Mandarine. And then, of course, once it's erected, forget everything I said yesterday about my lack of enthusiasm for sustained ritual. I'm just, somehow, going to have to figure out how to fit into my busy schedule the thrice-daily lighting of the incense, bowing down, and chocolate sacrifices.

How fantastic! And from what I've seen you are certainly deserving!

Jordan and Charlotte, thanks! I could easily have put together a list of everyone who deserves it more (like you two), but I'm too busy basking in the glory at the moment.

I loved reading Mandarine's post -- what a lovely compliment!

What a nice thing to say about you in a blog. I was so happy to read such nice things and wishing my blogs were worthy of such praise. Instead, I commented that, as your older sister, I taught you everything you know. hahahahah

Dorr, the best thing about it is that it was such a surprise. I knew he'd been reading the blog from the beginning, but was sure he'd get tired of it after a while. I was busy praising him for such diligence. It's going to be fun to read what he has to say about everyone else.

Froshty, your blog IS worthy of high praise. You just don't post enough (hint, hint). And there's a little bit of truth to your teaching me everything I know. Remember how we'd all sit around the dining room table writing our "books"? Such geeky kids.

I smell a publishing deal Emily! Well put and well deserved.

All true stuff, EB!

The only offerings I can accept are blog posts for the world. You'd have guessed that much.

Mandarine is a complete sweetie, but he don't speak nothin' but the truth!

Thanks again, everyone, and Mandarine, Sweetie (as Litlove would call you), yes, absolutely blog posts for the world. Isn't it nice that I'm not dependent on a publisher to accomplish that?
