The Weekly Whine Awards
Welcome to the Weekly Whine Awards! Where we almost always alliterate.
Undercover Ugliness Award to A. Nonny Moose and the familial angst that is filling her inbox.
On a Roll Award to esperanza and the amazing Mini-Baboo! This award comes with a bonus nap for the mama. Better than one hundred cute outfits. Also, there's really no need to apologize for being self-absorbed right now. Smooches.
California Dreamin' . . . in California Award to kathy a., who isn't feeling safe and warm this gloomy February.
Don't Bite Your Tongue Award to Sarah who hates censoring herself. I'm sure it's for a good reason, but I hate that it is hard for you.
Bad Omen Award to Sue, because it's not a good sign when your massage therapist apologizes and tells you to go buy Epsom salts.
Anything Else Going On? Award to Days. I was especially hit by this sentence: "Important documents lost in transit, unresponsive participants and everchanging deadlines." Fun!
Old Skool Award to Neighbor Lady, for "Grumpy. No good reason. That is all. For now." You know where to find us when there is more.
Persnickety Pixie Awards to everyone who cleans up for visiting plumbers and kindergartners. Hey, I've got a story! This afternoon we had 5 minutes notice that a water heater rental person needed to come by. My Love went downstairs and straightened up a bit. Srsly. At least y'all aren't alone.
Best Personals Ad Award to kathy a. for "motivation and sense of humor misplaced -- if found, please return. bonus cat pook and hormones."
Elevated Risk of Mullet to kathy a. and her Cloud of Happiness caused by a high local density of Girl Scout cookies.
Hugs to Sue in the aftermath of the meeting she predicts will be totally awful. It is taking place as I type this, Sue, and I'm sending you some deep breaths. I hope you feel them.
The cluestick posse has a busy few days coming up. We will be paying a call on A. Nonny Moose's greedy relative, liz's untrusting boss' boss, Emily's ungrateful volunteer coordinator, and Sue's Big Brother of the Blog. We'll also visit the administration of Amy's teaching gig if they dock her pay due to a campus-wide power failure. We await instructions.
Get well soon wishes to Elizabeth's mother, to Sue's kitteh, to Amy and the mysterious mid-week fever of doom, and JenR and her multifarious multifaceted infection.
See you again soon!

Update.... A visit to the doc this afternoon was followed by a CT scan to see just what is going on inside my head. And pain meds. Results won't be in til next week, but at least the pain meds are mostly working. Now off to sleep super early, since I didn't get much last night!
Thanks Madeleine. The meeting was indeed awful, but less so because of all the good pixie vibes. Thanks!
lovely ceremony, madeleine!
GS cookies to all!
Very nice! A round of applause for the marvelous madeleine!
Toss me a few cookies, kathy a.! We don't have them North of the border.
Of course we have GS cookies, Days! They just call them Girl Guide cookies instead. We sometimes run into a troop selling them at Canadian Tire or in the mall. Maybe not as much variety, but I'm pretty sure I've bought Thin Mints. Not to start a partisan discussion, but Thin Mints are really all you need. OK, those gooey ones, Samoas? Those are good, unless you hate coconut.
GG cookies don't compare, especially the new recipes, and I haven't had a source for those for years. I never seem to run into the cookie sellers. I need some Samoas and Tagalongs.
must. find. Girl Scouts. in new town. Now. Mini Baboo needs GS cookies.
my source says the cookies won't be here until early march.
thin mints, mmm. we have a tradition of stashing some in the freezer for emergencies, but they still don't last that long.
You actually make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this matter
to be really something that I think I would never understand.
It seems too complicated and extremely broad for me. I'm looking forward for your next post, I will try to get the hang of it!
