Like A Virgin, Awarded for the very First Tiiiiime

I have been bequeathed an award from Jenn of Free n' Flawed fame. Thank you for this award, Jenn. This is my very. first. award. It feels good. Real good. I'd like to thank my glorious sponsors - Earl over at the local co-op, Joyce from accounting, and Steve, my yogi and meditation teacher. And most of all, I'd like to thank YOU, readers. Thank you for coming here to listen to the most random drivel on earth.


I pass this torch of distinction to the following blogs and bloggers -

The Simple Family - she's outta commission right now, but when she's on, she's ON. her style is cynical, jaded, but witty, funny, real, and honest. i respect this woman's attempts at simplifying her and her family's lifestyle against any odds.

To Angie at Are We There Yet? This woman is a small farmer, a mother, a friend, a wife, and she still finds time to blog. If only I lived closer to Wisconsin, I'd want this lady to be my farm mentor and friend.

Allie's Answers has easy tips on living conscientiously and sustainabley, and articles and links to blogs in all kinds of "green" fashions. If you've ever felt like you wanted to save the earth but didn't know where to start, start at her blog.

I just found this woman's blog in the last few months, but already I'm hooked on some Crunchy Chicken. She has a MAJOR following and has started some movements and non-profit type work from scratch...all while being a support to her husband who is going through some heavy medical issues. Check out her latest escapade to shave her head after collecting donations for multiple myeloma research.

And lastly, but not least important, to SadieandLeo. Her blog combines both the personal, the inane, the philosophical, with the whimsical. She has a giving, kind heart that reaches out to fellow artists and friends in support, though I've not met her in person. She's an artist, a wife, and a wanna be mommy (good luck!).

Thank you ladies and gentlemen, and good night.

That was the best acceptance speech ever. :)

do you really have a yogi and meditation teacher? really?!

Allie said...

Wow! Thanks! I'm honored!

I'll have to put something up and pass it on later today or tomorrow.

And I have to second that that was the best acceptance speech!

Oh, Erikka! You are so sweet - I actually 'teared' up when I read what you wrote.

Like you, I too am an award virgin, so I appreciate it.

Thank you.

P.S. Will you still want to nominate me when I tell you I still haven't read the parts of this weeks book that I'm supposed to?? I'm hopeless.

Wow, thank you so much! My first award too! You're the best! And you 100% described me and my blog to a T and I haven't been able to do that yet. So I thank you for this recognition and I thank you for this definition.

I'm such a blog newbie... what do I do now? I would love to bestow honors on to others, is that the right thing to do?
