The Twinkies

Paige has announced that I am a…

The catch is, I have to pass the award on to five (only five!) other bloggers. Female bloggers. Only five. Five. Not ten. Not twenty. Five. But…you are all Rockin’ Girl Bloggers. Well, almost all. If you have a penis, you are not, by definition, a Girl Blogger.

So…my list:

Emilin at Name That Mama. Oh my GOD does she have a lot going on in her life right now, along with a child who may be the cutest blond in the world, and she STILL found time to help me out with my worries about whether our current sleep issues are normal. She’s smart, hot and appreciates a good lemon gelato. The perfect woman. Pity that a) I’m married, b) I’m straight and c) she’s married.

AMS at Our Own Creation. She fearlessly details her fertility issues, emotional, physical and financial while maintaining a sense of humor. She also sews a mean quilt. Did you know she’s going to have twins? Sure, she isn’t ACTUALLY pregnant yet, but since I am committed to making her a quilt and since I sew very slowly, she is sure to have multiples. Yes, it’s all about me.

Claire de la Lune at Cajo First of all, her little one is a chunky cutie whose cheeks I want to nibble. Secondly, his mother is smart, funny and willing to kick up her heels and make a fuss about things that matter to her rather than politely sidling off to pump in the bathroom.

Dangerdoll, who is singlehandedly ruining the purity of the blogosphere for the rest of us. Oh, yeah, and she’s funny. And smart. And foul mouthed. And Pann, at This Examined Life, who kept me sane during my early breastfeeding difficulties. She’s smart, with it, and details the joys of battling depression. Been there. (They count as one person because you see, they are in one paragraph. Plus, the next person doesn’t actually have a blog.)

Alice, who doesn’t have a public blog, gets the “I can’t link to you because you don’t have a public blog” nod. She does, however, have adorable twin boys, one of whom is promised in marriage to F. One of these days we will bend space and have our fantasy playgroup, in which the kids play in a baby-proofed environment while we ignore them, and each other, to read. She also has exquisite grammar and maintains her cool, her eloquent, pleasant cool, even when provoked. You should see her polite message board replies to people who want to know if their high beta blood test numbers mean twins. No. They don’t.

Now, all of you, go forth and nominate others.
