Ready, set, awards!

Hello Pixie pals. I know many of you are familiar with the ills of procrastination, so I will freely admit that I have 19 minutes in which to write and post these awards. And . . . go!

Hands down, the Remembering What It's All About award goes to debangel, whose sore, pregnant boob got honked by her work-child. Congrats from all of us on the prospect of a healthy baby girl, and for the record, no, placenta-brain, I don't think you did tell us that already!

Musical Chairs award to JenR for successfully getting her son placed in the new daycare room instead of yet another stop on the carousel of childcare.

What??!?! This Again???!!?!?!? award to Sue, for the return of Teh Headache and the doctor runaround. We're all blue for you, Sue.

How'd That Get There? award to amy, whose camera was in a bag of groceries. Hmmmmm.

Sign of the Times award to Elizabeth for continuing bank-failure issues.

Style is a tough competition this week. Kathy a. delivered two fantastic haiku (and a package to Japan) while Liz dished up a plaintive ode to the lack of plaintive posts on Wednesday.

Hero award (in absentia) to Sue's son for excellent handling of a tough situation, and in advance to Sue for the great speech I'm sure she'll give tonight at the rally.

And Hero award, with hat tip to colleagues, to KLee and her co-workers who work with children who are deaf, hard of hearing, and autistic.

And . . . 5 minutes left.

Marvelous Mysterious Slow-moving Miracle award to kathy a. for the unbloggable something she worked on 15 years ago that is finally coming to pass. We're proud of you, for whatever it is.


Old Skool award to Sue for "Aging Actually Sucks." Time for the Old Lady Glasses!

Time's up! Apologies to anyone I missed . . . have a good weekend, and we'll whine again next week.

Thanks madeleine for a great awards show! And done so quickly - you deserve an award for that alone!

I meant to mention that last weekend my blog was hacked so I went private (not sure if it will make a difference, but at the very least it will get rid of the cheerfulness police).

If any of you pixies would like an invite, just email me at suecan at gmail dot com and I will happily add you to the list.
