This chick asked me to guest post...yes, that's right..her..one of the coolest bloggers I've encountered..mm hmm, and after happily agreeing I immediately shifted gears into neurotic-not-good-under-pressure-OMG-what-if-it-sucks!-mind-going-blank-stomach-turning-and-churning-must-rock-or-hopes-of-blog-popularity-will-plummet mode. Then, the theme came to me and I was extremely happy with myself and in total bliss..for a few minutes. The first few times I got stuck I went back to her blog and researched..cruised for inspiration. Then I stumbled upon the fact that her family's from Arkansas...now the pressure was really on, on as in the weight was crushing.. Bone by bone, I began snapping under the weight. By yesterday afternoon I was seriously considering doing away with the blog altogether, pretending that you super cool, smarty-pants, heart-warming, hilarious, awe-inspiring, feeding my soul, awesomely supportive, infinitely interesting and informative, fancy-writing, kick-ass people with your moving determination didn't even exist!....kind of like college. After chewing on that old nasty, stale piece of gum for a few days..I plum spit it out. done. Fuck it.
Then, I wrote this, hope y'all like it.

You are fabulous. And I like the actual post WAY better than the excerpt. So there.
No nose. Me either.
Awesome!
I feel honored to be mentioned among such great bloggers as those you listed here.
Glad you decided to stick it out... We'd all miss you.
I said it over There. I'll say it over Here.
You are a Fountain of Goodness.
Every time I ever lost my own nose it was always in the presence of my mother. I think it's normal, it's just something about the darwinian process, I don't know.
I was wondering why this had a Bob Seger category tag.
Great job guest posting, that's no easy feat. I don't do it. I crumble under the pressure. You rose, girl. You rose.
I get all excited when I see that you've posted. You never let me down.
What he said!
I get excited when I see new posts from you too.. so much that I often have to save them for later so I can read them with focus.. yeah, that good. ;)
oh, and I had one of those 'nearly deleted my blog(s)' moments a couple days ago.. were it not for divine intervention (God broke my laptop..), I wouldn't be here anymore.. you're not alone. :)
I've loved every one of your posts. You never miss. That post ate at my heart for your mother and for my mother and now for me as a mother.
Now, I'm going to go and simmer in happiness from being included in that list.
Just found your blog. Love your writing, can't wait to stop gawking at CNN tonight so I can read thru all your posts.
The anti-anxiety medicine xanax is wholly capable of facilitating your war against anxiety as it is the most widely recognized medication to treat anxiety disorders, especially generalized anxiety disorders and altogether Xanax can treat a whole lot of anxieties related to panic disorders and depression.
