A New Award

It's been just forever since anyone has given me an award. I saw this one floating around and in my usual mature fashion have been sitting in the corner crying, sucking my thumb, and twirling my hair because no one gave me one. I need more than the usual amount of attention, either good or bad, in order to maintain my equilibrium. Well, God heard my voice whining out in the wilderness and sent me not one, but two people to give me this wonderful award.

Roses and Jessamine awarded me with the Blogging Friends Forever Gold Card. Even though Roses and Jessamine sounds like two people it is only one dear girl in Sussex, UK. Go visit her but be forewarned. If during your visit you think your computer has contracted a fatal disease and is about to blow up (which I did), it is only Mint Sauce, her pet lamb you are hearing. If you are really bored today you can scroll down and play with Mint.

And, the very next day to my utter joy, my cyber-nephew (who just had a birthday and is now almost as old as me) Tom in Vegas of Science, Religion, and Miscellaneous Babble (otherwise known as the reallylongandalmostimpossibletospellblogname) gave me another Gold Card. I am truly blessed!

Now I must pass this wonderful award on to five wonderful friends.

The Blogging Friends Forever Rules are:

1. Only five people allowed. (That about wipes out my visitor log)

2. Four have to be dedicated followers of your blog. (Hmmmmmm)

3. One has to be someone new, or recently new to your blog, or live in another part of the world.

4. You must link back to whoever gave you the 'Blogging Friends Forever' award.


So here goes:

1. The first award is to welcome back our vacationing "Cranky Cathy" at the Recovering Dissident Catholic. Her time away resting and playing (can you say rehab, wink, wink) has mellowed her. Her post yesterday and today concerning Nancy Pelosi is wonderful.

2. Catholicandgop over at Faith and Country has earned an award for actually commenting on some of the inane things I've said.

3. Kirk my friend at Practicing God's Presence deserves an award, not only for being a very special on-line friend, but also for being such a great cook and sharing pictures of his goodies.

4. "Robert Kumpel" over at St. John's Valdosta is probably not a dedicated reader but he should be. Since I am a rather dedicated follower of his, I figure it's ok. Not a day goes by that I don't regale my husband with something Robert posts.

5. And finally to my neighboring blogger, Mark in Spokane at Libertas et Memoria, who happens to be named Mark (what a coincidence) goes the final award. Mark is new to blogging and hasn't been blessed with an award or bothered by a meme yet. It's time he faced the real challenges of blogging. Mark, it's not about being intelligent, clever, or even getting your commas in the right place. It's really about dealing with a barrage of peripheral stuff.

Mark is an attorney and I promised to hook him up with a few other "legal eagles." Mark - visit Digi at Digital Hairshirt ,who happens to be one of the best writers in the blogosphere. Digi is funny, smart, and always entertaining. Kit over at By the Brook is also in the law business and would love to meet you, Mark.

Update: Wonderful ebeth over at a Catholic Mom Climbing the Pillars gave me this award, too. I love this lady!!!
