I do, it’s true.
Here’s Proof One:
I *cleaned* for you. And Lisa is right – of course I had a method. Of course I did. But just so no one is feeling all tight of breath over my system, I have rearranged it for you.
And no. No you may not ask to see the “Desktop” folder.
***
Here’s Proof Two:
Seriously. Thank you, each of you, for commenting me through my birth story. I’ve emailed many of you to attempt to give my blubbery thanks, but I’m saying it again. Here. Publicly.
You each gave me the gift of strength to tell that story. You each gave me the gift of patience of reading it – the backstory, the mindset, and the really ugly – all so that I could, finally, pare it down to a birth story that I would want to retell time and again, without anger or fear, and focusing on the good that I found in me – and in that awesome little prize at the end.
So in return, I give you all I have to give – Mrs. Flipphead gave me this pretty “Nice Matters” award, and I’m passing it on to my supports from last week.

(Actually, you have your choice of bling, the flowers or the sexy, whatever’s clever ๐ )
(If I happened to miss you, it’s not intentional, it’s because the 6 month growth spurt has kicked in, I’ve been attached to the moo pump for 48 hours straight and Scout and I are on no sleep – kick me in the shins and I’ll fix it for you….)

Arkie Mama? Are you there? I have something else for you…
Veronica gave me this:
and I need to give it to you for the birth story email, the understanding, the time you took, and for not yelling at me for not replying yet. Thank you, as always, from the bottom of my boobs (a long way down).

Here’s Proof Three:
The Magnum Roll – over on the sidebar – currently homebase for Audubon Ron. Just because he keeps stopping by to harass me, make me laugh my ass off, and has no blogroll of his own. And because I’m softy for a handsome face, what can I say?

I’m gonna give you …. I don’t know what …. tomorrow, and then Friday I’ll post the next items to vote on for me to write about next week.

Wow! Another shiny new award, thankyou so so much :).
I love the photo on your desktop, it’s very sweet.
Bloody growth spurts, I think they have contributed to my new grey hairs.
Audubon Ron
You fill my cup. I am your servant.
Now for the kitty pic. Love Siamese. The two cats I got now are not. Need to write a blog how that happened, oh no I have one. See http://ducksmahal.blogspot.com/2007/07/iron-kitty.html.
I?ยขโรยจโรยขve had seal point, chocolate point, blue point, rag doll and my last favorite was a Tonkinese.

Thank you so much!
(especially after i subjected to you to an extremely lengthy blathering email)
I just checked out the “sexy” blog bling — love it!
Sarcastic Mom
The birth story was lovely. And like I said, I’m a sucker for one. You wrote it well, and it was great to read. I was all wrapped up in the suspense.
I kind of liked your junky desktop, to be honest. I made me feel like mine was all cold and clean the way it is… (crap, Veronica tagged me for that and I haven’t done it yet…)
Thanks for the award! If you guys keep giving me stuff, I’m going to feel like I have to put out eventually….
BeeRepartee
You deserve the Nice award…F bombs and all. ~snicker~
Jen
My first bling ever!! Thanks!
And you have inspired me to get my own birth story up…working on it now. Geez it’s hard though.
slouching mom
Thanks, that’s so…nice! Oh, do I crack myself up sometimes.
MamaGeek
Wow, thanks so much for the lovin’ Ms. Dawn. I’m so grabbing that other graphic!
P.S. luv the new desktop.
Jennifer
Aw shucks! Thanks!
Mom Chatter
I love the cleaned-up desktop! I surely have to do something about mine.
I admit I haven’t read your birth story yet. I’m getting to it… I’m just behind on my blog reading (I blame the vacation), but I’m looking forward to reading it soon! ๐
Lisa (the girls' moma)
See? I knew you had a system. I have one too, and I think it’s similar to your new system — folders labeled “desktop” and “downloads,” etc, so that I can toss all that stuff in one of the folders and clean it up.
I think it’s the e-equivalent of pushing all the crap in my room under my bed to make my room look clean.
Which you know, I would never do.

Ooohhh…Thanks my sister from another mister!
Seriously, thank you. ๐

Aww gee thanks! ๐

I should be on this list, I know I should (of supporters, that is). I have been barely able to keep posting — my reading of blogs has been abysmal!
I started reading the first one and realized that it required my full time and careful attention, so I decided to come back to it…and I’m just now getting a long afternoon nap to try to catch up!
You’re making me have the birth story itch, too!
Jackie
I was just messing around in technorati and realized I never thanked you for this *blushing*
So sending you a big, belated thanks! Smooches.
