Breaking Radio Silence...

...to thank Malach the Merciless for the award which he bestowed upon me.

Thank you sir.

I haven't been hiding. It's just been a very eventful week. I will recap in the next few days. Thanks all, hope you have a great weekend.

Snogged by a Saucy Strumpet

I've been snogged from across the pond by darling Kitty. She received this Mwah! award

from SuzyB and decided to pass it along to all the (ahem) "gentlemen" listed in the sidebar of her blog. I'm honored just to be listed in the sidebar of her blog and this is icing on the cake. She expressed concern that bestowing a Mwah! to all the men on her list would make her appear to be a "saucy strumpet". I told her not to worry and assured her that saucy was indeed my favorite kind of strumpet.

Thank you Kitty!

I Was Awarded...

...and missed the ceremony. We went to my sister-in-law's house to celebrate her birthday and spent the night. We went sans computer. I got home Sunday afternoon only to find that my buddy Malicious Intent has awarded me her coveted "You Caught and Kept My Attention" award.


I'm speechless. Thank you MI and thank you everyone for stopping by to offer congratulations. Thanks to everyone who stops in and spends precious irretrievable minutes reading my ramblings. I appreciate it and I hope that in some way it adds something to your day.

THANKS!

UPDATE:

It seems there was quite a post awards party while I was gone. Malicious Intent was kind enough to forward a picture of Malach the Merciless in his party garb. Don't let that expression fool you. He takes his partying seriously. I heard he had a fantastic time. You go Mal!

I Got Kudos...

...hopefully with some antibiotics it will clear up.

NO. Seriously. When it rains it pours. I got my first blogging awards from my fellow bloggers over the weekend! I'm excited and honored.

First I got not one but TWO awards from Kitty over at Kitty's Bloggy Bits. I received the "Spread the Love" award which is all about spreading love around blogland (me? who knew?)

AND the "You Cheer Me Up Award". It originated with Ann at A Nice Place in the Sun and is for bloggers whose words lift our day(s). Thank you so much Kitty, you're a sweetheart. If you folks haven't visited Kitty please do. She has a great blog and makes a mean sock monkey.

Then, just as I was content to bask in the love for the rest of a cold, cold Sunday I found out that Hungry Mother bestowed upon me the "Excellence in Blogging" award. HM is a great guy and I look forward to his blog every day.

If I may steal from HM's post:

The award originated with Project Mommy who says: ... I love being a part of the blogging community and part of all the friendships that I've formed so I wanted to give a blog award for all of you out there that have Excellent Blogs. By accepting this Excellent Blog Award, you have to award it to 10 more people whose blogs you find Excellent Award worthy. You can give it to as many people as you want but please award at least 10. Thank you out there for having such great blogs and being such great friends! You deserve this! Feel free to award people who have already been awarded…

I'm glad that last sentence is there because HM already gave it to most of the other bloggers I know, but here goes (if you've already gotten it, well that just means that more than one of us thinks you're excellent):

Simply Curious Girl
Preposterous Ponderings
Tongue In Check
Mutterings of a Mad Bookseller
Kitty's Bloggy Bits
Malicious Intent
Malach the Merciless
Tequila Mockingbird
One Biscuit Hound
Mental Poo
Crashed Site

Thanks folks, you are all a regular part of my day. Kudos to you and to my readers. Hey, Kudos are communicable!
