This is my first chance to take a deep breath since the holiday season rocked and rolled into town like a runaway C train. Copyediting classes are over, Christmas cards are out, the marathon line at the post office is tackled. Time to hit the rails with K-Pants—praying that the MTA will safely deliver us to all the salted-caramel hot chocolate and giant cookies we can drink and eat while ogling holiday displays.
Before the Pants and I get roasted-chestnut smoke blown in our faces by the hot dog vendors, I wanted to take this opportunity to pass on the Versatile Blogger Award. Cyndi at MyConvertibleLife gave Momsicle this award before Thanksgiving (I forget what I bribed her with). Cyndi is based in North Carolina and you feel like bosom-buddies just reading her posts. Go check her out! And THANK YOU, Cyndi, for the love!
In keeping with the terms of the award, you’ll find a list of several (7–10) random things you may or may not know about Momsicle, and a list of new award-winners whom I love to read (up t0 10).
Things Some of You Already Know About Me:
- I make a really excellent horse noise. Some people in our building probably think there’s a pony illegally living in our apartment. K-Pants is working on his horse noise and it’s coming along nicely thanks to genetic predisposition.
- I am a bell-ringer: big, Quasimodo-style bells that are followed by beer, not white-glove bells followed by Chardonnay.
- I am the least fashionable member of my family and the worst shopper.
- I make a mean spicy marinara sauce.
- I would like to edit cook books, and write and illustrate kids books.
- My veins flow with cookie dough.
- If I were a TV character, I would be Cam from Modern Family.
- I wear a pig hat for most of the winter.
And now, drum roll please…

Oh, thank you, thank you!
P.S. I whinny rather well too. We must have a neighsayer session soon!
Why haven’t we figured this out already? We could make a really excellent farm animal team. Perhaps we could team up to scare people in Central Park?
That hat? Very fashion-forward in my opinion.
IT’S MY FAVORITE PIGGY HAT!!!! 🙂
Thank you, Piggy! May need to get you a matching one… It will be the mandatory uniform for the Carmelized Onion. 🙂
Thank you so much! And you are are hardly unfashionable. You are the only person I know who can pull off hot-pink or turquoise tights with aplomb!
Not sure if I told you this already, but I love your hat even more than the compliments you sent my way 🙂
