>The Perfect Post Awards
>
This month, my award goes to a woman who I think is one of the most amazing writers in the blogworld. Elizabeth, known to most as Corporate Mommy, consistently writes the most beautiful, poetic posts I think I’ve ever read on a blog. This post is typical of her writing, and like so many other posts she’s written, it moved me deeply.
I especially liked this part…
Now is a new season. An autumn of the next decade.
Of dusky afternoons making soup. Of ennui and fine lines. This is the season of my bright green suede jacket, and the scarf I picked up in Paris last year. Of looming disaster and waffles in the morning. This is the season of mothering, and letting go. Of knock-knock jokes and finishing long-started things. Of gusts that lift my hair, and of growing it long again. Of breezes that tug the pitches out of the strike zone, and maybe bring my husband’s arms back around mine.
Ennui and fine lines. Good Lord, the woman is brilliant. I don’t say this lightly- if Elizabeth wrote a book, I would totally buy it and probably dogear every page.
Do I sound like a groupie now? Sorry. Here are this month’s awarders and awardees. Enjoy- and if you’d like to give out a Perfect Post Award next month, e-mail me at lucindathemom@yahoo.com and I’ll add you to the mailing list.

>Great I didnt want to work today anyway. Too much reading to do now.
>Weird. I nominated someone and she’s up on Petroville, but not here. I did do it at the last minute over the weekend and so it’s probably my fault, but if you can add her, that would be great!
