lost and found

This almost slipped past me.

I've been a little distracted lately and haven't been devoting my usual meticulous level of attention to this blog. I know. I know. I had said that this past week would be different. I anticipated much more free time. Time for working on props. Time for long rambling random posts. But I had forgotten. I had forgotten about the return of LOST. Back for its final season. And suddenly, like the Man in Black into the Smoke Monster (my apologies to anyone who hasn't seen the first episode yet), my leisurely carefree week was suddenly transformed. Altered. Changed forever. LOST theories. Blogs. Speculation. Podcasts. Forums. Their presence expands until they fill every available moment of free time.

Fortunately, I was able to tear myself away and drag myself back to this blog just in time to discover this:



This award arrived courtesy of the Frog Queen. Not only is her blog always a guaranteed entertaining read, but she is one of the most prolific commenters around. I'm not quite sure where she finds the time. But I'm glad she does.

Now on to the rules. Because there are always rules. But this time there are wonderfully few. Just the way I like it.

1) Link back to the blog/blogger who nominated you and say a few kind words

2) Paste the picture of the award in your award post

3) Nominate bloggers you think deliver great comments to your blog

4) E-mail/post/tweet or do whatever you need to do to inform these bloggers they have been nominated for an award.

And now on to the difficult part. Difficult because, although there are many wonderful fellow bloggers upon whom I would choose to bestow this award, the Frog Queen has already chosen most of them. I am going to try to select recipients that she has not. No easy task. So if your name does not appear here, it is not because I do not love you dearly. I do. It is simply because I don't want to clutter your mantle with duplicate awards.

That said, I hereby pass this award to:

1) Jessica @ Chronically Vintage

2) Mr. Macabre @ Mr. Macabre's Hallowe'en Cerebrations

3) Bridgett @ Doug and Boo Plus Two

4) Diane @ Good Mourning, Glory!

These bloggers regularly leave kind, encouraging or otherwise entertaining comments that often make my day. They are much appreciated.

And now, back to trying to unravel the mysteries of LOST.
