In other news:
Blogworld’s favorite little busy bee is going to be visiting us this weekend! Yep, SprittiBee, that amazing friend everyone knows and loves, is going to be coming to visit us after her son’s robotics show! Isn’t that fun? Yes, we will be getting LOADS of pictures with the Queen Bee. I am so excited!
The sickies are not sick anymore. I think, though, that they are still recovering as Joc and Rae are still tired. I pray we are done being sick for 3 years!
My bruises are subsiding too. Although, I keep hitting the bruises on things and that doesn’t feel very nice, now does it, Precious? 
I have finished reading “Self-Raised“! WOW! That book and the prequel, “Ishmael” are so awesome! It is an amazing story! I loved them both.
Another thing is I am SO EXCITED about vacation this year! We are heading west. I am really excited because we will see my Grandma(saw in April 07), my Aunt Jen(saw in Dec. ‘05) and Uncle Adrain (saw in Sept. 04), and my Grandpa and Grandma Dixon (Saw in Sept. 05). So I haven’t seen any of them in a long time! I miss them all very much and am so excited about seeing them. Not to mention, I love road trips! and driving all the way to NM is a long road trip. We hope to meet some bloggers on the way too! That is going to be great! We are going to be going to AZ and then coming back through TN. So if you are on the way there or back, email me and we can see if we can meet!
A couple of important giveaways are ensuing…
The HSB Literary Club has just announced the new book they will be reading and they are giving away a copy of the book to one of the readers who signs up on the Mr. Linky! So be sure to get over there and sign up for that!
There is also a Classifieds: For Sale page now here that you can check out some stuff we are getting rid of. We will be adding to it, so be sure to keep checking!
Ok… so I have loads of things to get done before the Bee comes to our home… and I best get to them! 
But before I go, I wanted to show y’all this!
You Are a Pundit Blogger!
Your blog is smart, insightful, and always a quality read.
Truly appreciated by many, surpassed by only a few
What do you think? I think that pretty much sums up The Daily Planet. That was a fun quiz. Although blogthings is not a very friendly place, so watch out!
Oh my goodness… I forgot to show everyone my new ad for The Daily Planet that the lovely Miss Jocelyn made for me! I love it! She does such an awesome job at that stuff, doesn’t she? If anyone wants to trade ads, email me!
Alrighty… have a great rest of the week!
Love, Blessings and Prayers As Always,
Thanks for stopping by “Daily” at the “Planet”!!

Congrats on getting the award!!
That’s so cool that you get to see so many people that you haven’t seen in ages!!!
Here’s what I got on the Blogging Quiz:
You Are a Life Blogger!
Your blog is the story of your life – a living diary.
If it happens, you blog it. And make it as entertaining as possible.

You are very deserved of this award Amanda. It is for “A word fitly spoken”, and you do choose your words well. I know sometimes we as bloggers do not come across clearly, but I know you, and I know how compassionate and kind and thoughtful you are, and how you choose words and actions to prefer others and edify them. Well, unless you are joking with Jocelyn!! LOL
I love you. You are a great example and encouragement.
Can’t wait to meet the Queen Bee!! We have been buzzing around here in anticipation!
Glad your Dad got the floor done! Thanks for your help!
Love the new icon. Ain’t she smart?
((HUGS))

Oh, and Vicki – we plan to include your house on the trip – I hope it fits in. I’d love to meet you and the girls IRL!
