This is going to be a potluck post.
Last night, I was sick . . . very, very sick to my stomach. It wasn't the presidential debate, really, even though the attack occurred right afterward. We think I ate some bad chicken. So all plans for today are off, and I'm going to just watch movies or football and possibly knit.
On a happier note, I've mentioned a couple of times that Michael and I were waiting to hear about a months-long writing assignment for both of us. Well, we found out this week that it received final approval. We don't have the contracts yet, but we have been offered the work. This is a big relief.
Last, I've received some blog awards this week. As is the custom, I now get to pass them on to others.
First, both Anne of Get Out of Jail Free and Elizabeth of Home Musings gave me this cheerful award. It's nice to read that they love my blog, because I love both of their blogs too.
I'm passing this award along to the following:
1. Border Explorer, whose blog I love for its keen examination of social justice.
2. Choralgirl at Choral Reef, whose blog I love for its mix of philosophizing and puppies. (Smokey sends his own award to Linus and Lucy.)
3. Christy at The Soul on Every Path, for her searching, questioning learner's spirit and her courage in going back to school to start a new career.
4. Jan at Yearning for God, who shares the most wonderful and uplifiting quotations and also writes about her own lessons in life.
5. Kate at Prairie Light, who has been through many changes the last few months and has written about them with grace.
Next, Missy of Missy's Big Fish Stories award me this. Thank you, Missy! Your posts always either make me think or make me smile.
1. Thailand Chani of Finding My Way Home, who writes with grace and insight about choosing a different path from that of most Americans.
2. Kirkepiscatoid, who always has interesting posts and lately has been recording her thoughts as she goes through 40 days of self-examination.
3. Mompriest at Seeking Authentic Voice, who recently wrote an amazing ten-part series on how she discovered her vocation and became a priest.
4. L.J. at Presbyterian Gal, for her thought-provoking posts about justice issues and her interesting tales about life with Wonderboy.
5. L.L. at Seedlings in Stone for her evocating writing and beautiful insights.

Ruth, I feel honored each time you visit & comment. Receiving this award from you is touching and humbling. Thank you so much. I will post it with pride.
Oh Ruth - I hope you are feeling better, that is too bad.
And congrats on your awards! All well deserved and given out beautifully!
Sure hope you are feeling better Ruth, and congrats on the writing assignment. You sure deserve awards, your blog is always entertaining and well written. I never miss a post, though I may be a tad late! Happy blogging.
Ruth! I hope you are better!
And thanks for the award!
Many thanks for the award--it makes up for the fact I am having to deal with dialup since my wireless internet server is misbehaving. Oh, the pain of living outside the limits of DSL service! Rural life, some days, is not all it's cracked up to be!
I hope you're feeling better too! There's nothing worse, IMO, than that sick that comes from bad food.
And congrats on the writing assignment. Work is good.
And many thanks for the award! You're very kind. I feel the same about your blog.
Thank you very much for the award and kind words. I'm honored.
I also hope you are feeling better...ugh! It sounds very nasty.
And on a happier note...that is such good news on the writing assignment! YAY for you both!
Congratulations on the writing assignments and the awards!
I hope you are feeling better soon.
Congrats Ruth!! You deserve it!
OH, thank you. Hopefully I'll be able to post it on my blog tomorrow afternoon....Sunday being a day of rest (ah, yeah)...
I'm so glad your jobs came through. Big sigh of relief, huh? I enjoyed learning about the textbook writing. Any ideas for us what this one is about?
I hope you're feeling better and congrats on the writing assignment!!
I will be checking out some of the blogs you recommend :-)
Ruth, I am so honored. Thank you. I love seeing all your various awardees! Congratulations to all!!
Ugh! I hope you are feeling better now! A few of those episodes go a long, long way~ :)
Thank you so much for thinking of me. I'll look forward to checking all the links, too.

Honored.
Thanks, from Rue St. Dominique. : )
I followed Border Explorers' link and voila, what a great blog! I love the mix of posts and the nice thing is that it's not too political. I am but I do need a break from it from time to time and share some of your interests. The sad thing about discovering all those new sites (like the lists here) is that I just do not have enough time in the day to browse and read..but it's always enlightening to expand your horizons..
have a good weekend,
Ingrid
