I’m of two minds when it comes to these blog awards. First, I’m always honored to have my writing recognized in any way, shape or form. This one is especially surprising because I don’t really know the blogger bestowing it. Thank you, Angel Land Canada, I am most grateful. You can be sure I have already been checking out your site. Second, I believe it is a great way to find new and interesting blogs to read. That’s the angel sitting on my right shoulder. The devil on my left is whispering, “Run away. You remember what happened last time.” To fill you in, last time I got a blog award it was a precursor to going into blog hiding for almost two years. Well, let’s give this another go.
I am passing this award on to 15 blogs I personally follow:
- . .a misplaced boy . .
- Omphalos Cafe
- Phil’s Lounge
- Sargastic Irrevalence
- Angry Rant
- The Panda Chronicles
- Barking in the Dark
- Always Curtsy When You Sneeze
- Lady with a Truck
- Conditional Cognition
- Nigel Windsor
- The Creative Juicer
- Never Contrary
- Sheeple Liberator
- Stay Abnormal
Now I’m supposed to reveal seven things about myself.
- I’m a Wikipedia junkie . . . I will search anything and I do it all the time.
- I have a lhasa apso named Rocky that talks . . . he also happy dances with me when no one is around.
- I’m a failed computer graphic artist . . . I never could color inside the lines or release artist license.
- I met my best friend through this blog . . . we’ve been friends almost four years now.
- I’m a natural blonde . . . the carpet matches the drapes . . . TMI?
- I won’t eat any meat still on the bone . . . it’s too much like eating an animal . . . I know . . . meat = animal, but if I don’t see the bones I can handle it.
- I was Chinese in a past life . . . I know this because I could eat Chinese every day, three meals a day.
So, there it is. The important thing is for you to check out the blogs I’ve linked here. They are awesome.

Right back at you. I so wanted to follow your lead on the whole award thing, but I guess I’m just too conventional.
Later.

Participate to whatever level you can. It all about the sharing. You still have to the seven things about yourself though.

Phil's Lounge
I’m honored Ms D. 🙂
My baby girl likes holding the bone (e.g. chicken leg) while eating her meat.
She is not a fan of “fillet” meat at all…lol! opposite to you I know.
Carpet & Drapes matching…oohhhh…and I thought I was too honest and open.hahahaa. 🙂
I’ll do mine tomorrow…some time after watching a certain London football (soccer to you) derby.
Much Love. 😉

My email address is on my Feedback/Guestbook page…feel free to share. 😉

I don’t know, I think I may have scared Keri off with the e-mail I sent her . . . gruesome stuff.

If anyone at all is interested, my carpet matches my drapes, too. Unfortunately it’s been awhile since any once has asked. Matter of fact, no one has ever asked! I’d be glad to show them. Really.

Miss Demure Restraint

I am honored both to know you and have you read my blog.

Miss Demure Restraint
The feeling is mutual my friend. Just think if we both hadn’t been unemployed and taking crazy employment test . . . if you hadn’t blogged about it . . . if I hadn’t been searching for info on it. Man, what a chain of events.
Check your e-mail.
Later.

Thank you so much for including me on your list,especially since I know the quality of writing for several of them (I’ll be check out the one’s I’ve yet to visit). I don’t feel worthy of being on the same list. I am continually surprised me that anyone would be interested in my ramblings.
Somewhere in my box of photos there is a picture of my mother and me eating the meat off the spine of a pig we roasted; I was about 23-24. I wouldn’t be able to even pick it up now, I gagged looking at the picture. I have a drink and cigarette in one hand and the spine in the other. Who was that person? And men actually kissed that mouth! Gross!!
I might add I became a vegetarian for many years after that.

I like your blog very much and know other will too. You approach difficulties with humor and strength. Your stories are interesting and fun.
I has been my honor to have found so many great blogs to follow, your’s among them.

Congrats on your award Miss D.
Some not so natural blondes don’t have the worry about matching drapes to carpet if there is no carpet 😉
Great reading your 7 things, i’m a bit of a google fanatic myself, any random type question pops into my mind and i’m on it, my mind is getting so filled with useless facts I may need a bigger hard drive lol.
Big hugs, Nikki x
