VA B1og Carniva1 Reminder!

Filed under: VA Blog Carnival, blogging — Badrose at 8:59 am on March 11, 2007

Just a quick reminder that I’ll be hosting the Virginia Blog Carnival this week. I’m hoping to piecequiltmaker.jpg together a “quilt” that shows different patterns and colors of life in our commonwealth, pieces not necessarily centered around politics. Pieces that display a portion of a blogger’s life not usually “exposed” are often the most interesting, like Brian Patton’s house renovation posts.

Possibly my favorite post is one of a personal nature by Steve Minor where he shared his painful goodbye to Chrissy. I read his post near the two year anniversary of having to make the same decision regarding my own four-legged best friend of almost TWENTY years, Ben. Sometimes it’s good to be reminded that I’m not the only one in the world willing to trade everything I have for just one more (healthy) year with a crazy canine.

Once in a while, I think it’s good to be reminded that behind our keyboards, despite our political differences, are people a lot like ourselves - facing the same challenges and successes.

If you have a piece to contribute to this “quilt of the commonwealth,” please submit it to me on the VBC site by 6:00 today.

Thanks!

I just submitted something http://www.vbdems.org/?p=937 to the VBC. It’s an hour late I know, but I’m hoping you will find it and still consider it. The VBC screen I entered it into forced March 19th on as the date for my submission.

Oh, drats, Eileen. Sorry, but the cut-off was at 7:22 (my clock was off).

Only kidding :) Thanks for submitting and thanks for being such a good sport. (I’m sure you know that I meant “pimple on the butt of the VA blogosphere” in the best way possible.)

Steve: You’re welcome but I lied. My FAVORITE post was fifty days later . . when you got your new dog from the humane society.

Everyone needs a dog!
