Award Winning Wednesday

I love getting awards. I think it's because I need want affirmation.

I've received three awards in the last week, and now I'm going to brag about them!

Tina Lynn over at Sweet Niblets gave me two awards. (I'm starting to wonder if she has the same kind of crush on me that she has on Fiction Goupie.) Anyway, I ain't complain'.


The first award is the Kreativ Blogger Award. This award excites me to to end, because I need affirmation because of its cute spelling. Well, not really. The spelling is actually quite annoying, but it's the thought that counts.

So, the torch shall be passed to the following bloggers, who make me feel happy in my heart with their ingenuity.

First, to my fellow Hoosier the inDefatigable mjenks at A Crown of Thistles for rewriting children's books, blowing up pumpkins all last month, and for almost puking in a girl's mouth one time.

Second, to Carissa at Carissa Jaded for her stormy blog header and devotion to the vocal arts.

Third, to Tia at Clever Girl Goes Blog for her use of the parenthetical aside.

Fourth, to Leslie at Walking in Memphis, for having a blog named after one of my all time favorite songs.

Fifth, to the boys over at Confessions of a Morman Bachelor Pad for their inappropriate use of a sweet girl's handwritten letter in a recent entry and for being my biggest guilty pleasure since the American Idol season ended.


Onward to my second award from Tina Lynn, a.k.a. my lady lover. She gave me the Honest Scrap Award for my ability to occasionally embarras myself on Thursdays.

Other honest bloggers:

To Lilu at Livit, Luvit for heading up TMI Thursdays and insanely linking all of our posts to her blog each week. I've linked her most recent post secret edition from last week, and you better check it out, because it is fierce.

To the Organic Meatbag for leaving comments like these on my blog: Hooray for Mammaw! She sounds like an ass-kicker! and Amber, I'll personally see to it that you get all of this stuff... Santa owes me a favor since I saved his ass in 'nam...hahahahah. Well, I don't know if that makes him honest or just funny.

To my girl (first follower!) Too Cute to be Very Interesting for admitting that she is not always both funny and smart. I think she's both more often than not.

To Salena at The Daily Rant, because she links her daily posts to previous posts (i.e. one year ago, two years ago, three years ago, four years ago) which I think is just stupid cool.

Finally, to THE OTHER at The Life and Times of the Other Woman because the title says it all, and she finally stopped capitalizing the words HE, HIM, and HIS every time she uses them. THANK YOU for stopping that.


My third award is from Travener at The Big Litowski. He's the boy who taught me the word subterfuge. He gave me The Thoroughbred Golden Pin Award for always cheering him up with my humor and sensibility. (I think it was a compliment.) Also, he called me the Louisville Filly.

Look for some Golden Pin Awards of my own, which I will bestow upon some lucky people next week... when it's time for another edition of Award Winning Wednesday. (Husband is kicking me off computer now for World of Warcraft commitments. Sheesh.)

I just learned that my alma mater is playing Indiana on November 9th.

I might pony up the two dollars to watch it on BigTenNetwork.com.

Thanks for the award. No, really. I love it.

Hey! Thanks for the award and the shout out! I welcome any and all of your readers who want to come my way. I'm thinking they'll find SOMETHING to read that they'll like in the past five years of blog posts. If not, they can always just look at the pictures. Thanks Amber for the mention!

Closing Arguments, Trial 3. The Defense: Closing the Case of Adnan Syed v Alice LaCour and Brett Talley

  Would Hae Have Liked Pineapple on Pizza? If it Pleases the Court... Ladies and Gentlemen of the jury, I want to start by thanking you for your time. It is no small task to put your lives on hold and focus in on the details and particulars and specifics of this case, and it may be a struggle to focus when you have to think about what you're missing at home. Your civil duty - and your willingness to fulfill it - does NOT go unnoticed. I mentioned "time." It's a relative, term, right? I had to wait in line at the post office for 15 minutes. I waited for the checkout gal at Wal-Mart for 20, because they didn't have enough lanes open. I don't know about you, but I try to be patient. Sometimes I fail to wait gracefully, but I really do try.  So. Look at Adnan. For over TWENTY-THREE YEARS he has been waiting... patiently. 23 years ago, I was about the same age as Adnan. I graduated high school in the spring of 1999, just like he did - or would have - had he not bee

20 Points in a Basic Story in the Botched Case Against Adnan Syed: I Must Be Insane as that's 5x More than any Other Basic Story Presentation I've Ever Seen

  Basic Story With 20 Points:  Could Adnan be Innocent? "It's not a cop-out; it's case law." ~Bob Ruff, host, Truth and Justice Pod   1 Adnan was the main suspect - Hae's family passed that along to Officer Adcock on the afternoon she disappeared. Originally, they suspected she might be with Don, even though she had to work at 6pm and had never once NOT brought her cousin home. Does anyone know how old the second cousin is? Two cousins lived with Hae. And Officer Adcock's Supplemental Report dated 1/13/99 states that Mr. Lee advises that she "did not pick up his two cousins from school.") Did they go to the same school, these cousins? Another question that could be explored is why Hae's uncle is the only immediately family member who doesn't live with Hae.  Another pain point for me - I'm confused as to why the cousins did not live with their dad, Hae's uncle... but look. Every family has different dynamics. I mean, I gues

Not The Nisha Call: Other Things to Consider in the Case of Adnan Syed

"If there is anything about my case, man - I want to know... I want to test it... There's nothing about my case that that I'm afraid of." - Adnan Syed Serial, Episode 12: What We Knew Instead of focusing on a flower and Jay's Changing Stories, Consider This: A) The policemen handling the Missing Persons Investigation did sloppy and lazy work. They back dated reports and failed to interview multiple people  thoroughly enough. B) The police did not interview the family robustly enough to understand what else might have been going on in Hae's life. They, to my knowledge, did not find a translator and instead relied on the guidance of her younger brother. C) A computer, a floppy disk containing electronic diary entries were noted and later went "missing"  D) Hae's email and AOL Instant Messenger (AIM) accounts were never researched thoroughly, and her online activity is relatively unknown, outside of her newly updated "away message" which s
