Empathizing With the Kennedy's

Today I am in the spotlight!!!


And I am soaking it up! What can I say? I love the attention! How am I being spotlighted, you ask?....

Today I am the feature blogger on The Secret is in the Sauce, and let's just say....

"I can certainly understand how the Kennedy's must feel."
~quote from the movie Waiting for Guffman

This has got me thinking of some of the finest examples of those in the spotlight:


Olive from Little Miss Sunshine. And don't forget....

Napoleon Dynamite.

So SITS-ta's, HERE's a little about me that you may not know.

If you haven't had TMI yet, then feel free to look around. Here are some of my more popular posts:


I hope you've all enjoyed peaking around my blog and getting to know a little bit about my life (or too much, that is). Fame is certainly not an easy cross to bear, but I'm grateful for your support! ;O)

Andrea said...

Congrats on your SITS day! Chloe is adorable. I have a cousin who was born with spina bifida and he was in therapeutic horseback riding growing up. He loved it and it was so great for him to be able to do something that he considered "normal." Now he is a fan of skiing and handcycling.
My husband's cousin and his wife have a special needs son. Carrie (the wife) has a blog at www.braydenandmommy.blogspot.com where she journals about being mom to a "special needs" (she struggles with that term.) Anyways, a lot of the thoughts you wrote echoed ones that she has expressed and so I thought I would let you know in case you ever want to stop by and check it out.

Colleen said...

Congrats!..I am new to your blogs but love them...thanks for sharing some popular posts.

Love "dear nosy onlooker" I feel like that so much myself..."But as out of line as I think you are, 95% of the time, I will smile and nod and explain politely that my daughter has special needs. " That is me! Not the nosy onlooker...the one that just smiles most of the time and explains away! This was a good reminder to myself when my daughter goes back to school this week as we will be out much more again.
