>Scribbit has awarded me the Rockin’ Blogger award! I read her almost daily and I really enjoy her site, so based on its source, this recognition is a great compliment. I shouldn’t let this go to my head, but she described me as “… an excellent writer and has a top-notch blog I love.” Wow!

Many of my blogging virtual friends are in Chicago this weekend for the BlogHer conference. (My last trip to the big city included a hot, steamy baseball game, not a businesslike conference.) I chose not to go to BlogHer, but I will look into the transcripts of sessions from the volunteers who were sweet enough to live blog them. Meanwhile, I will rest with the knowledge that even though I’m not hobnobbing with the blogging A-listers, according to at least one marvelous blogger, I still rock!

Compost Happens is approaching a major milestone: my 10,000th hit. I didn’t add the stat counter immediately in the beginning, so there are a few hits missing, but I know it didn’t miss a significant number. I think I may have to have a party when I reach 10,000.
