So once or twice every single day I run across posts and other bits of interweb goodness that I want to share with y’all, but then I think that if I get in the habit of posting lots of links on my main page I’ll never actually write anything original.
Because posting links is way easier. And I enjoy the posting of the links.
Well, yesterday it occurred to me that I could just set up another page on the blog for links, and I can update it countless times a day if I want to, only truth be told I’ll probably only update it once a day because heaven forbid I set some sort of unreasonable expectations involving the frequency of the linkage.
Anyway, you can find this new little section over to the left in my sidebar where it says “Daily Linky Interwebby Awesomeness.”
I have absolutely no defense for the title other than the fact that I enjoy adjectives. Especially when adjectives end in the “y” sound.
Hopefully I’ll be able to spotlight other people’s blogs a little bit more than I have been doing, so by all means feel free to send me a link if you run across a post or article or video that you think is particularly, well, awesome. Just make sure to put “Awesomeness” in the subject line so that the link doesn’t get lost in vast maze that is my inbox.
And please – pretty please, I beg of you, FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS GOOD IN THIS WORLD – if you can possibly refrain from sending me links to your own posts for this particular little interweb feature, that would be much appreciated. Otherwise it could get a little awkward.
Remember, I’m Southern. And as such I do not enjoy the awkward. Because then I feel compelled to fix the awkward and smooth everything over and bake you a pound cake. Which can get a little time consuming.
I’m sure you understand.
And I believe that is all.

I solved the too many links issue by celebrating my Spanish class with “lunes linkage” that I post on Mondays – I just save all my links up for one post. The downside is that I’m busy with classes and haven’t been posting much anyway…
Can’t wait to check out the awesomeness. You never let a girl down. Especially when in comes to adjectives.
Great idea! Don’t worry, I won’t be sending you any awesomeness from my own blog. ‘Cause there is none. Plenty of awkwardness, though! :-)
i’ve been doing some good link linking lately.
Now there’s a good title for your page…
Blessings,
Karla
Ditto to Bee’s comment!
I am a smoother overer too, it’s just who I am!
Now that’s just funny! I’m on my way to check it out . . .
Funny, and I look forward to seeing the awesomeness. :)
Ya know, you could use a google reader shared items link for the same thing.
I’m tempted to mess up…..and send you the link to my own post…just to get that pound cake. hee hee. You crack me up :)
Ha Ha Ha–a pound cake and some sweet tea always fixes things nicely :)
You make me miss the South, Dear Sophie!
Up here, in the great Northwest, we mend fences with lattes. ‘Cause we have manners, too. And ’cause it’s cold up here. :)
I am now CONVINCED that Southern is just the same as being English….we also CANNOT do the awkward, its simply not done ; ) And though we are more likely to give you home made marmalade, scones or a Victoria sponge (all made from Scratch mind, no cake mixes in England ;) our minds definatley work the same way.
BTW I clothes shopped using your rules for the apple shaped woman, remember all those tops you showed us and the one you pointed out would make an apple shaped woman look like a bag of wet sand ??? Well, with all those thoughts in mind I bought a lot of camisoles to keep the baby feeders under wraps and got myself a whole new wardrobe for autumn/winter !
Reading BOOMAMA is as good as watching What Not to Wear !!!
I love adjectives that end in “y”! Great idea.
Awkward is my 10 year old’s favorite word- it cracks me up… she learned well.
And I just found YOU! So nice to meet you! I think that setting up another page for links is a great idea.
Have a great day! xoxo
I heart Brandon Heath, too. Have you checked out Andrew Peterson yet? I think he’s on itunes, you could probably sample some of his tunes–I love Serve Hymn/Holy is the Lord and many more (especially off of Clear to Venus CD).
I’m compelled to break your rule just to get some of your Southern Pound Cake!
I can never get enough of your friendliness and humor. We’d be BBF if you lived in Connecticut!
I went looking for this new link on the left side of your blog.
I was getting a little frustrated because I couldn’t find it.
Then I realized it was my other left you were talking about. Geez. I really need some sleep.
The internet guys totally cracked me up!
Also, thank you for mentioning Monk and Neagle enough times that I just went a got their CD – LOVE IT!
I deleted my blog address from the spot above…but I sure would give my kingdom for homemade pound cake…those of us in St. Louis are only known for our gooey butter cake.
“And please – pretty please, I beg of you, FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS GOOD IN THIS WORLD – if you can possibly refrain from sending me links to your own posts for this particular little interweb feature, that would be much appreciated. Otherwise it could get a little awkward.”
THANK YOU for getting this out there. I’m awkward to begin with, so when people send me links and ask me to link to them it increases the awkwardness. Exponentially.
I think you’ll love having that page. I just did the same thing last month and I think I enjoy posting links more than my regular blog. :)
Can’t wait to check it out!
As we say in the south, “bless your heart”.
