- Because I'm taking part in the Ultimate Blogging Party, I'm visiting about 10,000 new blogs.
- I forgot how much time that takes; therefore, I shall not be posting here at PENSIEVE today.
- Except for this enumerated list, which really doesn't count, does it?
- I'm floored by the wonderful bloggers–MANY OF WHOM THIS IS THE FIRST TIME OUR URLS ARE CROSSING–interested and willing to post one of my Compassion-India badges on THEIR valuable blog real estate (noted in comments here).
- This means I'm grateful. No, BEYOND grateful!!!
- Can anyone tell me a word that says "beyond grateful"?
- Over the next few days I shall
- a) FINALLY write my SXSW thoughts!!!
- b) VISIT MY OLDEST, FIRST BLOGGING FRIENDS WHOM I MISS. Twitter has effectively killed me keeping up with you. Forgive me. I'm languishing in sorrow.
- Is anyone else wondering why TypePad doesn't KNOW that when you have subcategories you're supposed to alternate to LETTERING instead of embedded NUMBERING???
- Are you fans of the Godfathers of Soul Contemporary Christian Music–Steven Curtis Chapman and Michael W. Smith? Under the heading of "GET!! OUT!!", I shall be LIVE-BLOGGING the Spring Kick Off of their "United Tour" this weekend. I think they chose the date in celebration of **someone's** birthday 😉 THANKS to Spence Smith for making this happen. And PLEASE–would you make plans to check in Saturday night for my concert observations, picchas AND IF ALL GOES ACCORDING TO PLAN, my first VLOGS (yikes! maybe I shouldn't put that part in print…except this isn't print, so it doesn't count…right?)!!
- This might well qualify as the most manic, non-post post ever written. Is there a prize for that?
- If you could summarize your mood in one word, what would it be? Me? Overwhelmed–in the BEST sense of that word! 🙂

This photograph has nothing to do with this post other than it makes me happy; hope you're enjoying a smile, too :).
p.s. This post has nothing to do with:
- Drinking too much coffee today
- An overdose of sunshine-induced Vitamin D
I miss you too! But for me, Twitter is what is still keeping us connected – even while schedules take over our lives;)
Dear Robin,
There is no such thing as too much coffee.
Sincerely,
Seth
So THAT’S why you visited me on my blog! I was so thrilled to see your comment! (Even though you seemed a bit bewildered as to how our paths crossed…)
I’m completely out of it, socially speaking. I don’t know what Twitter is, or what in the world “stumbling” a blog means. But you have a great blog; I visit often and am proud to be a PIPP!
Sweets, you’re the queen of exaggeration… but you sure got my attention boasting about “10,000” UBP visits! Good for you for putting yourself out there. :~D
You’re going places: I can see it, smell it, feel it, taste it. Live blogging and Vlogs for MWS and SCC? YIKES! Along with “overwhelmed,” you’re famous. (((Hugs)))
Looks like I’m no longer the christmas card list.
ah, that would be ‘on’ the christmas card list.
hey there! I can’t comment on your blog via my mobile but I have been reading your feed and I’m ecstatic about you going to India! I will keep you in my prayers!
I love your blog!

Robin, I’m so excited for you to go on the Compassion Bloggers trip! Spence first introduced me to Compassion with the 1st trip last year. I donated some of my handmade taggy blankets to the trip so he could take them to the babies. It was the only way I could participate, but it made me feel like I contributed. Too bad you’re not close to me or I could give you a bunch to take again!
I read every single blog from that trip and was in awe. That’s when I was also introduced to blogging for the first time as well. It was inspiring on so many levels! My Compassion daughter is Scovia from Uganda. She’s so lovely! Just a tiny little thing although already 6.
I pray for you and the team for God’s guiding hand to deliver you safely in your travels and bless you with rich experiences.
That’s a good perspective of Twitter; I have such a love/hate relationship
with it. (workin’ on my “40” thoughts…any guidelines?) 🙂
This is reason #127 why I **heart** The Mother Letter Project daddy :).
Sincerely, PensieveRobin
{{smiling}} Do you WANNA know what that stuff is?? Cause I’ll be happy to
‘splain :). (thanks for your PIPPness 🙂 )
We’ll see if I figure out the vlogging before Saturday (have YET to try
it!). And, I DO wish I could visit all party-goers; even more, though, the
people I’ve been reading for y e a r s now. You know how that goes,
though…I’m thankful you know my heart in that :).
{{Hugs}} back atcha! 🙂 xo
