Many thanks to Liz, who told me how to link to comments! If this doesn't work, it's all on me.
See you next week, when the fabulous Klee will host!

Followup to yesterday's whine: Daughter didn't just hit any old cop -- she managed to hit *the top cop* in our town and not get ticketed. "I think he could see I was freaked out," she reported. She'd been having a really rotten 24 hours, but ended up feeling hysterically joyful at her good fortune.
A lovely award ceremony. And YAY for being able to get into Wednesday whining again.
Great awards, and much happiness that Daughter pushed through to the giggle fit at the end of the tunnel!
Do you want to hear about the snippy one-line reply the aggrieved latke-mom sent early this morning, or the longer, polite apology for the freakout she sent a few hours later? What, neither? Me too.
Wow, that Christmas pageant sympathy whine was...um...let's see...three or four years old, at the least. It must be pretty potent, to still get an award. No pageant for me this year.
Congrats to all the whiners!
Esperanza, some whines never go out of style. ;)
Great awards Kathy a.
Esperanza - I think there's a lifetime award for Children's Pageant whiens. Or there should be.
Cheers all - *raises glass of Kahlua milkshake.* Yum!
