Arabella Day
Last year Arabella was one of the winners of the PB contest. As her prize, she chose to have a personal post done about her. It wasn't a hard one for me to write. She is an amazing woman, Mom, and blogger. But most importantly, her appreciation of it made me realize how infrequently I voice how much you all mean to me. You are more friends to me than most of the people I see physically. Last year I jokingly told Arabella that I was going to make a holiday after her.
Then it dawned on me... Why not? This little corner of the blogosphere is MINE. I'll make whatever I damn well please. Besides, there aren't enough non-commercial holidays. So in celebration of you, all of you, I am naming this Arabella Day. It's the day for telling your fellow blogger what they mean to you. Here's how it goes. Leave a comment about the person who wrote before you. The next person will leave a comment about you. On it goes. You can comment as many times as you like.
Examples:
"Jay makes me laugh so hard I feel like pissing my pants"
"Newt has a heart of gold. She makes me want to be a better person."
"Mama T has great tits."
That's it. Have fun!
Friday Contest Winners!

Happy Arabella Day Tink!
The tough thing about being first is that there is nobody before me write about. You, however dear Tink are a dream. You sometimes make me wish that I still lived in Florida just so we could hang out.
I've always wanted to get close to you Peggy and now here's my chance.
Hi, I'm Corky. Will you be my friend and visit my blog?
OOhhhh Corky...I've always loved a man in uniform.
I will forever associate Susan with the color lime green. She's got a wickedly colorful personality.
Aw, such wonderful family and community here.
Makes me sick ;)
What a wonderful idea. The blogging community is really close-knit, and its nice to have the different views of fellow-bloggers to reflect on.
I like Orhan's playful synicsm...and I love Tink's positive outlook on things.
Oh, Tink, you are so damn cute they should name a holiday after YOU!
Debbiedoeslife, I do not know anything about you, but if you know Tink, you must be a fun person.
I am going to check you out right now (your blog, haha)! :)
Chelle ~ you have a beautiful name and I'm sure that if I could see your blog (if you have one), it'd be beautiful too.
Jen my blog is www.chelleyoung.com. Blogspot won't let anyone transfer there! :)
Chelle likes baseball. Therefore, I like Chelle. ;)
Chele's blog reminds me of spring in kindergarten.

P.S. That whole "tit" thing was tempting, but she seems so nice.

Oop, Coffeespaz and Jen got skipped.
Coffeespaz: Thoughtful and thought provoking. Plus, she's a coffee lover (obviously), which automatically makes her golden in my book. Mmmmm, coffeeee.
Jen: Bubbly and zany. She has her own version of "conversations" that always cracks me up. But in one of those "I'd NEVER do that" sort of ways. (Yeah right)
Edge: Would totally be my wingman if I were a dude.
Tink - it's a special person who uses their blog space to spread love to everyone who visits. :) You've got a great sense of humour, not to mention creativity and imagination - all of which contribute to the wonderful writer that you are.
Freakazojd is just over-flowing with talent. She has it all, smarts, great sense of humor and beauty. A dangerous combination, but one she handles gracefully.
I am a newish blogger, and Jay took the time to come visit a pathetic blogging wannabee !
Jay is honest, and lets it all hang out, and I like that !
mitchgib: just looked at your blog right now, and i like that you have the same sense of humour as my hubby
Geenalyn is Canadian. Canadians are cool. :) Plus she has Tonic on her ipod. What's not to love?
Tink, I am so honored I could cry. Instead of doing that, though, I broke a little wind. I'm sorry. Good thing the Internet is odorless. I hope you still love me, 'cause I sure love you.
Geenalyn says wonderful things, like "humour" with a "u" and "big boy underwears." Plus, she's my same age, and has twice as many kids as I have, and two of them are twins, so she's an amazing multitasker.
Woo hoo! I got Arabella herself!!
Ahem. Arabella is an inspriation to those who think they can't do it all. She, in fact, does do it all and more. Twins! Law practice! Marriage! Successful shoe shopping online!
Michelle has a picture of a tuxedo kitteh on her blog and used the Phrase "that was Zen this is Tao" These two things alone make me want to read her blog.
Scottsdale girl has a quote from Dorothy Parker on her profile, and since I had to do a paper on Parker in college, I feel we've bonded in a way. And if she's on Tink's blog, she must also have a wicked sense of humor.
kell is obviously great since she loves microbrew and HAS DRUNK ACTUAL BEER IN THE ACTUAL NATION OF GERMANY. She's my heroine for that!
Oh yes, and are you selling greeting cards and trinkets for Arabella Day?
Lefty has a very nice left ankle; the shoes aren't too bad either and the color choice is kickin' and he is being open-minded about the potter books - which I find fantastic!
Oh i LOVE it when you do this.
Terri is a fine person because she likes science fiction. That means she is a creative thinker and not afraid to be unusual. Plus her blog is beautifully done.
Not sure who you are, Meno, but I'm sure your hair smells like rainbows and stuff.
Chris knits. Enough said. knitter=cool in my book.
spamboy is a writer. A talented writer. Go check out his stories!
Love you Tink :-)
Graymama is unbelievably kind and generous, wicked with a sewing machine, and one of the best Moms I've ever met. I'd like to believe that if I had been blessed with a sister, on top of my two awesome brothers, she would have been it. On top of that, she noticed that Chris had been skipped over... You rock girl.
Lefty: Sure! You're going to provide them, right? ;)
What a wonderful idea, Happy Arabella Day. Graymama has a wonderful attitude; she wishes for the day that moms will be non-judgmental. Tink our fabulous hostess helps us get acquainted with great gestures like Happy Arabella Day and the Spork Awards.
YAH!!
mjd is a new friend and I have been enjoying her blogs lately. She is very insiteful.
Birdman is witty and clever and OH SO INCREDIBLY sexy
Birdman has a very cool profile picture.
Michelle has a great blog name and she takes lovely photos.
I just came back from visiting TB's blog. What amazing pictures. I heart fishing!
Sorry, Chris! We posted our comments simultaneously and I didn't see yours.
Chris participates in a blog that combines knitting AND movie-watching. How cool is that? Plus, she's incredibly prolific and participates in many blogs.
Captain Corky's blog makes me hungry, what with all the talk of lasagna and sushi!
I think you're supercalafragilisticexbialidoecious... ( I think you get the idea even if I can't spell)...
These comments are hilarious. My most favorite comment was Spamboy's about Meno: Not sure who you are, Meno, but I'm sure your hair smells like rainbows and stuff.
mrspao, I can't see your blog, but I think you must be the sort of person who brings a smile to the face of everyone who knows you.
