Some Nice People

This is my official blog award page.

People have posted mixed feelings about these awards, from what I’ve read. Some say they appreciate them but won’t “brag” about them by posting them on their blogs.

Others think they’re chain-letters and totally blow them off.

Two people were honest about how much work they are to renominate 7 – 15 other bloggers and just do the best they can when they get around to it.

I’m somewhere in the middle.

I happen to think awards are nice and yeah, it’s sometimes kind of a monster drag having to find 7 – 15 new worthy people if you’re busy dealing with everything else you’ve been procrastinating.

But, I liken these awards to the glow-in-the-dark sneakers my maternal grandma gave me for a twenty-something birthday…I grin and bear it and still wear them when I know she’s coming over for dinner.

Thank you so very kindly for visiting and for nominating me,

Sharon

In order of receipt:

Commenter of the Week: http://nailsbails.com/

The nice guy over there drew this for me. He drew it because I commented something on his blog he happened to find funny that week. It’s my gravatar now. I love it.

The Versatile Blogger: http://ifiwerebraveblog.com/

This lady does some amazingly awesome stuff to push herself into being a braver person. I admire her. And I’m amazed she even had time to read my blog let alone nominate me for anything. I thank you.

7 X 7 Link Award: http://jillsorr.com/

This gobsmacked me. I was doing that alphabet 26-part series and I’m not sure if she timed it so she could give me this on letter ‘L’ day, whatever, after being Freshly Pressed her first week blogging, I was pretty sure my blog wasn’t on Jill’s list of favourites. Score.

Best Liar Award: http://hobbling.wordpress.com/

The Hobbler and I have an understanding. I’m a procrastinator. I haven’t done anything with this award yet and that’s perfect because there aren’t any rules anyway! I love her.

The Liebster Award: http://domesticgoddessornot.wordpress.com/

A coveted award. This is what The Domestic Goddess in Training said on my blog,

 “Hey, I was stopping by to tell you that since I was recently honored with The Liebster Award, I wanted to pass it to you.  I have been enjoying your posts for so long and you were one of the first people I thought of.”

Isn’t she sweet? (I’m sorry I’ve been procrastinating on this one, too. Forgive me! Next weekend?)

Tagged: http://lostnchina.wordpress.com/

Susan is a wicked-funny writer. She tagged me. We’re not sure if it’s an actual award but since she’s single and so am I, we’ll take it. Thank her very much for saving you all from an email notification about another laundry post in your inbox, subscribers! There isn’t an image for tags, not yet anyway. I’ve given you two to choose from.
