Too much attitude creates a force field around me that sort of makes that adjective just bump right off.  I'm glad someone thinks I can be nice!&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;I think I'll print this button out onto little cards and the next time someone looks at me askance like maybe I'm &lt;I&gt;not&lt;/I&gt; nice, I can just hand them the card and say, "Look here, this says I am officially nice.  I don't know what your problem is."&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Now, the nice thing would be for me to pass this along.

It's pretty obvious to me.  But then, you go and make it even more obvious.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Thanks so much.  I'm thrilled you think I'm "nice" (I too used to have a love/hate relationship with this adjective, but I'm starting to get over it...)  Cathy mentioned me in her nice post too, and I've avoided giving it out because she (and now you) pretty much mentioned most of the nice girls I hang with on the interwebs.  Plus my "nice" award posts tend to bore the snot out of people.  You make it all so much more interesting.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Have a good time on the rest of your vacation.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/410199809757251187/1434795873604108955/comments/default/8420973613829799015'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/410199809757251187/1434795873604108955/comments/default/8420973613829799015'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://nellmccabe.blogspot.com/2007/08/lap-of-luxury-and-why-i-deserve-it.html?showComment=1188088500000#c8420973613829799015' title=''/><author><name>andi</name><uri>http://pootandcubby.wordpress.com</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://nellmccabe.blogspot.com/2007/08/lap-of-luxury-and-why-i-deserve-it.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-410199809757251187.post-1434795873604108955' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/410199809757251187/posts/default/1434795873604108955' type='text/html'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-410199809757251187.post-478193155346641185</id><published>2007-08-25T16:22:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2007-08-25T16:22:00.000-04:00</updated><title type='text'>"This was why I had to drink whiskey straight from...</title><content type='html'>"This was why I had to drink whiskey straight from the bottle for a few years"&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;ohmygawd!
