It was a gray, dreary day . . . until I opened my blog and saw a message to me from gossip_girl awarding me the Liebster Blog Award! The skies opened and the sun shone, music started playing, angels were singing, and the day suddenly became glorious! Okay, that's a "little" dramatic, but it WAS a nice surprise. I discovered gossip_girl a while back. Her "recipe" for her blog intrigued me - 1 cup of "oh hell no," 1/2 c of controversy, 1 T of humor, and 1 t of Entertainment Pinch of My Opinion, stirred all together. She is funny and provides a unique perspective on everything she writes about! Check her out at http://myworldaccordingtomeii.blogspot.com/.
It is now my pleasure to award the Liebster to five of my favorites (I have lots of favorites, but the rules state I must choose five - - and I am nothing if not obedient). So, here goes - -
What can I say about Mark at http://markyswrite.blogspot.com/ ?? You can tell that he is a product of the hippie days, and it is awesome to look into his heart as he writes about things so dear to him. And I learn new words every single time I read Mark's blog. Definitely worthy of this and many more awards. (Although I have a sneaking suspicion that he doesn't need an award to measure his own worth).
Larissa is adorable. She is young, and smart and has a fresh, optimistic approach to her writing - - and I imagine how she writes is just how she lives her life. She is beautiful! http://papaisapreacher.blogspot.com/
If you want some great, creative ideas on decorating your home, on a shoestring budget, no less, you have got to check out Jennifer! She is in "the process" and I am totally going to steal some of her ideas! Plus, she is a hot shot shopper, and I totally want to shop with her!! http://shabbywhitesandmuddyboots.blogspot.com/
I liked noisyquiet from the moment I first read her "stuff." She is random, like me, and has a great sense of humor. She always makes me laugh, which is one of my favorite things to do! http://noisyquiet.blogspot.com/
Sebtown always makes me think. I think what I like most about her is that I always end up thinking new thoughts, and I like that . . . a lot. I always tend to open my mind and broaden my views. http://sebtown294.blogspot.com/
If I had known that I would "meet" so many awesome people, I would have started blogging years ago! Thank you to all my fellow bloggers who make life a little bit more interesting!
Random thoughts of a girl who used to try to fit in the box. Then I realized that boxes are stupid. Except this box, the one above. It's really pretty.
Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteI never imagined I would meet so many awesome people when I began this journey a little over two years ago. But the community is just amazing.
Oh My!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Judy!! It was indeed a bleak day for me today, but this just made the sun (which has already set) shine fifty times brighter. Thank you!
Thank YOU Larissa, for always brightening my day!
DeleteYou made my night Judy!! I was having a bad day..my husbands job interview didn't go our way and I have been sulking all night. Thank you so very much. Your posts and comments always make me smile..you are very special! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry about the interview - you're entitled to sulk :). But just know that I love opening your blog and seeing your talent and the progress you're making on your house!
DeleteHey! Wow! and you gotta be crazy if what I write makes you think -- oh, I know, you are trying to figure out what the hell I am saying! But thank you so much for the kind words. I do like to think and I do get lost in my head and it can be lonely in there. You're the best.
ReplyDeleteSee - you not only make me think but you crack me up as well :)
DeleteAwe, thank you :) I am nothing of not random! :D - Thank you for making ME smile and laugh so often!
ReplyDeleteThis day did need some brightening up!
ReplyDeleteMy goodness, Judy. You have such a fresh approach with your blogging it has always encouraged me. And I have loved looking through your list of favs to broaden my horizons.
ReplyDeleteits a fun and familial community (and thank you for not tagging me)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! What I love most about these awards is that it gives all of us the opportunity to check out other blogs, read and support them.
ReplyDeleteGreat post and congratulations again, and I will def. be checking out your nominees, and congratulations to all of them as well!
Congratulations, Judy. And you've made some great picks to pass the award along to. I'm actually afraid to click on the links to blogs I don't already know, because if I add too many more things to my "daily" reads, I'm going have to take extended leave at work to stay home on the computer and catch up. :)
ReplyDeleteHAHAHA Masked Mom, I was just thinking that last night with all the leap day blogging...I thought about finishing university and sit down to catch up with all my "daily reading" blogs for a couple of years. Wouldn't it be lovely?
DeleteA bit off topic (except with regard to daily reading ;) ) Judy, would you mind if I post a link to your blog in the google help forum as an example of a blog that just won't stay "Stuck!" in my dashboard? I figure if nothing else you may get some more readers! Lol!
ReplyDelete(FYI, I just tried re-adding you TWICE and it didn't work. I know your blog will pop up in my reader again when it feels like it but I'm getting fed up with Google not fixing this stuff!)
I don't mind at all. Sorry I can't "stick" with you in your dashboard. That sounds kind of sad :( Hope it gets fixed :) and we can be dashboard buddies again!
DeleteDone :) - You're still "invisible" today. Grrrrr! It's a known problem, and I'm not the only one having it. I need to find a new reader. I had a great one but they shut down.
DeleteI know you'll be back - and then I'll say "DRAT! I've missed FIVE POSTS???!" ;)
Judy, Judy, ,Judy. I am mortified that I am just arriving now. Through desperation, I have adopted Masked Mom's approach, with the marathon journey. I have become embroiled in a controversy, concerning the editor of our bush league periodical, and her untruths to me, as to why she did not publish my articles on the motivation, for the murder of Jamal. I will be out in the parking lot, in front of this paper tomorrow, to protest. I expect my former students to support me. I am sorry to intrude in this rough fashion, but I wanted to keep in touch. I love what you wrote about me. Hippie? Yeah, sure, that works for me.
