I went to a friend’s house freaking adorable condo with Rose last night, and the three of us celebrated the end of Monday with two huge bottles of wine and a cheese spread. It. Was. Awesome.

Four-ish hours later, after some fantastic conversation and a few too many glasses of chardonnay, Rose dropped me off at my little house. I was greeted by my pup, who was ecstatic I was finally home, then confused as to why I was stumbling around a little.

Confession: I doesn’t usually go out to dinner parties or out on the town here because, let’s face it, I don’t know too many people. And I don’t want to have to drive myself home if I accidentally get sloshed.

So we got ready for bed.

And then I woke up at 4:30 with a horrible headache, a dog who needed to tinkle and a bedroom entirely too cold.

After taking care of Lucy, turning on the furnace and taking a few pain pills, I decided to check my e-mail. Because that’s what every normal person does at 4:30 in the morning.

And then I saw an e-mail stating I had a gift on 20SB. I was sent a bottle of champagne, congratulating me for being the November Featured Blogger!

I freaked out a little, totally surprised, and then decided it would be a good thing to go back to sleep and celebrate in the morning.

So when I woke up at 8 this morning, I booted up my computer and went to the 20SB Web site. Just for fun.

That’s me! On the left side of the screen!

…

I just don’t have words, y’all. I’m thrilled and surprised and honored that so many of my peers nominated me, and that I am the Featured Blogger. I mean, there are more than 8,000 people in 20SB. That’s a lot of bloggers. And to be named the Featured Blogger? Craziness. That’s what it is.

So thank you, friends. So very much.

And since Erin did it last month, I’m calling out to you. Leave me comment and tell me something about yourself. Anything you want to share, really. What do you like to do when you aren’t working? If you could have one super power, what would you want it to be? When you were growing up, what was your favorite ice cream flavor? Is it the same today?

You can even ask me a question, if you would rather that. Just say something. Because I want to see all your smiling faces (or hear your voices?) this awesome month.

OK, go! And thanks again, y’all! You’re all amazing!
