52 Weeks of Grateful: Chit-chat



Last week I was all about the click-clack, this week it's the chit-chat. I am nothing if not musical.


I went out to the launch of the Kidspot Top 50 Bloggers Awards on Wednesday night. It was so kind of them to invite me and I had such a lovely evening meeting bubbly, brilliant, beautiful bloggers (check them out!). I am not a 'shy' person by any stretch of the imagination, but I can be very self-conscious about my larger-than-life personality and appearance. Consequently, heading out to a party is not something I particularly relish, but I so enjoy myself when I'm there.


The thing I find hard at parties is all that small talk. I find small talk really awkward. I was definitely the kid tucked into a dark corner having a 'D&M' at parties, rather than the social butterfly flitting from group to group. Do people 'D&M' in the dark anymore? Ah, the eighties.


But, this week I'm grateful for...


224. Chit-chat - it has it's place after all. How marvellous to share a little moment here and there with so many wonderful bloggers. However, the temptation to launch into a serious discussion about something I had read on their blogs was almost too much to bear!


225. A night out - always nice to smarten up and paint a little merriment on.


226. Flats - every time I venture out in heels, I am always grateful for flats. Why totter painfully when you could run with abandon?



Come over and say 'hi' at Kidspot. 'Cos this week I'm also grateful for music... and particularly singing. Yep, I kinda sing. Kinda.

Oh, and it would be lovely if everyone visited a few of the 'late arrivals'  to the list each week... it's sad to be late and not get any love, don't you think?
