So last week Vanessa Van Petten wrote a post entitled, “50 Best Mom Blogs”. And get this - I’m on it. No, seriously. There are some damn fabulous blogs on that list (well, they’re probably all fabulous, but I haven’t read them all yet) and I feel like I just got invited to sit at the grown-ups’ table. I don’t actually feel worthy, so I haven’t really done anything about it for a week. But then I realized that Vanessa totally deserves a shout out. And I thought it would seem weird if I praised her post without mentioning that I’m in it. So, um, have I totally negated my cool factor yet?
Well, that’s okay, because I have more coolness: Canadianflake gave me an award.
How cool is that? What I would love to do is give this award to everyone who comments and reads regularly and especially to those of you who have subscribed. But I don’t know who’s subscribed (is there any way to find that out?) and I’m not sure how I’d define “regularly”. But if you feel that you fit into those categories, please assume that I am passing the award on to you. And those of you that are on my Google Reader, whose blogs I read and comment on at least every week? The award is for you too. Here. Now go give it to someone else.
Seriously, I can’t narrow down all the people I love in Blogland - there are just too many of you. But I expect to see this award on all of your sidebars/award pages right away. For reals, I really want YOU to have it.
In other cool news, have any of you started watching the John Adams miniseries on HBO? I know I’m a history geek, but it is AMAZING. If you’ve always hated history, watch it and see how compelling it can be. And if you like history, you will LOVE this.

I love that John Adams mini-series. I’m impressed that they managed to make me thing “I wonder what happens next!” even though I, um, already know. I think I’m scarred for life by that tarring scene though.

I’ve taken the award as I know of one blogger who is going through pure hell in her personal family life and I hope this will cheer her up slightly

Way to GO! How exciting to be a top 50 mom blogger. And, so totally deserved.
Also, if I had HBO (ugh) I would so be watching it. I keep hearing from everybody who knows I taught US History how amazing it is…and I have always loved the naughty John. Did they convey Abigail giving birth a mere 5.5 months after they got married?

Yeah for you! That is so cool.
I am grabbing the award and going…thanks!

You so deserve it.
And I would subscribe if I knew how, but you know full well I read every damn word you write. Just maybe you’re my girl crush

Thanks for the heads up- I’m a total history geek. We don’t get HBO, but I’m suggesting to hubby that we rent it when it’s out on DVD.
And congratulations!

Good for you! You rock!
That’s the one thing I do miss about TV, the history specials.
I’ll have to see if they release it to Netflix.
jerseygirl89 // March 28, 2008 at 7:22 am
Jenni - I bet they will.
colleen_katana // March 28, 2008 at 2:47 pm
Congrats, lady! That’s awesome and completely deserved!
As for the John Adams series, it’s getting rave reviews and the boyfriend! is a history buff too….but alas we don’t have HBO. We will most likely be buying it on disc though!
Leslie // March 28, 2008 at 5:14 pm

I didn’t know you were a history geek too.
The JA series rocks. The small pox “vaccine” was worse than the tar & feathering for me…
Congratulations on the award!!
