100 - a "Nice" Round Post

I had been having a ho hum kind of day. I wanted to be productive but just couldn't manage (still looking for that executive functioning somewhere...it's bound to turn up!). We made a list of everything we were suppose to do and everywhere we were suppose to go and somehow only did about 10% of it. The Younger didn't even get a nap today. We did get some things bought and prepared for upcoming food art projects. We are planning to make some GFCF Blue's Clues Banana Pops and a GFCF Gingerbread Train. Other than that, I won some Freecell games and watched UT lose the SEC championship game (they do get an A for effort, but an F for losing).

The Hub made a comment that I was almost to my 100th post and frankly I had no clue, other than I can be rather verbose, that I was that far along in my blog. Nor have I a clue how HE could tell what number I was on because I had a time trying to verify that this was indeed my 100th post. Once it was confirmed, I really wanted to make it special (how weird is that?) and I guess had some sort of block, because even though I have tons of hilarious topics and conversations that have been tossed around between the adults and children in the household today, nothing really stood out as "100th post" worthy. I asked The Hub, "What do you do for a 100th post?" His Aspergian reply was "You say 'hey, this is my 100th post' and then people will comment saying 'congrats on your 100th post.'"

So I must send a huge THANK YOU to Elissa from Managing Autism for not only giving me the content for my 100th post, but for awarding me with the Nice Matters Award. It made my day in more ways than one! You deserve this one yourself! (Would that count as one of the 7? I say YES! You're #1!)

Here is what the Nice Matters Award is all about: “This award is for those bloggers who are nice people; good blog friends and those who inspire good feelings and inspiration. Also for those who are a positive influence on our blogging world. Once you’ve been awarded please pass on to seven others whom you feel are deserving of this award.”

So here's the hard part, not because I don't know nice people, but because I don't know how to pick just 7 because you are all nice and inspire good feelings and inspiration. Here goes...

I know, Maddy at Whitterer on Autism, you've been awarded over and over again and but I must must must send it back. You were the very very first non-family member or current family friend to stumble upon my cyber-doorstep and comment on my blog and it was at a time in my journey that I really needed to hear from someone who could give me perspective like you only can!!

Bonnie at Coffee Autism Faith Explored - you have been a faithful reader and commenter from the beginning and have helped me more than you might think. I can relate to you a lot, so I truly love reading your blog.

Gwen at Gwendolyn's Gifts - Success Sunday Diva...I think God put us together in such a timely manner. (I'm sorry that my executive dysfunction prevented me from coming over today, I'd like to come one morning this week if you still have your items up.) You inspire good feelings, not just in your attitude, but also through your art.

Tulip Mom - Your baby girl is beautiful and hopefully she will let you eat poultry soon! Not only do I love reading your blog, I love seeing how many supporters you have by the sheer number of comments you receive...that says a lot about you.

Karen at Beyond Understanding - I love the topics of your posts and the cause behind your blog. You amaze me, especially when you do more than one post in a day, thanks for all of your sharing. An all around neat person to associate with. I've learned and will learn a lot from you!

Susan at I Run for My Life - Susan is actually one of The Hub's readers but I wanted to include her as the 7th because today she ran a marathon for Elijah on his 7th birthday. Here is The Hub's commercial to support her. Susan, Chasen's signs are hilarious. Congrats on finishing (was there really chocolate there?).

So, congratulations to all of you and thank you for a very special 100th post!
