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!

I watched Hoarders last night. During the first commercial break, I dared to look around my living room and I thought, oh holy mother of four-letter-word. Color me cluttered. Yes, it's true that most of my mess is hidden and collecting dust in the dark, but I know what's there -- like the 100+ VHS tapes in my bookshelf/ media cabinet, for instance. Yes, I love knowing that should I desire to watch my old school copy of Riding in Cars with Boys or Girls Just Wanna Have Fun or The Royal Tenembaums or Serendipity or Ghost World or Memento or... okay. You get the picture. It's there. If I wanted it, it would be right there. Also semi-hidden? Probaby 50+ copies of this weekly magazine from the late 1960's - early 1970's called Story of Life. My grandma gave them to me. Have I cracked the cover of even one issue? Hell to the no. I don't have time for that type of nostalgia. Plus, I can't even find a link for it with a quick google search. Something tha...

First Page Blogfester

Preface: TGIF. It has been a day. So. I'm participating in the First Page Blogfest in which writers around the blogosphere post the opening 24 lines of their WIP. (In a "real" book, this is the approximate amount of work that would appear on page 1!) This blogfest is being headed up by Kelly over at Kelly's Compositions . Please check out the other entries and leave them a comment on their work. My own WIP will be featured on Roni's Beta Club next week, and I chose an excerpt from the beginning one chapter one for critque over there, so today I'll give you the true beginning: the opening lines of my prologue. Here goes nothing. My working title is A SAD SONG IN A FLAT KEY Genre: Literary Fictionspice Prologue May 2005      Laurel sits Indian style. She faces the head of her bed and tries to focus on Cafe Terrace at Night, pretending it is priceless artwork instead of a cheap replica. She counts the tables first, and the...
