I've Been Awarded! Yay!!

Thank you so much, Caz of My Life as a Mature Age Student for nominating me for the Liebster Blog Award!!!


The award is given to people who have fewer than 200 followers containing good content and warranting moral support.  Yay!  I fit the bill!  According to Reflection of a Buddhist Monk, it is in the spirit of fostering new connections.  Leibster is German and means "dearest" or "beloved" but can also mean "favorite" and the idea of the award is to bring attention to blogs with less than 200 followers.

The Rules are:

1. Show your thanks to the blogger who gave you the award by linking back to them.
2. Reveal your top five picks for the award and let them know by leaving a comment on their blog.
3. Post the award on your blog.
4. Bask in the love from the most supportive people on the blogsphere – other bloggers.
5. And, best of all – have fun and spread the karma.

#1) See above.

#2) Tena's Therapy was the first blog I ever read and I laughed so hard I nearly peed myself.  I have been a devoted follower ever since!  She is wonderfully gifted at telling it like it is, parenting, and making me laugh and cry!

Of course, I have to shout out my friend Caz at My Life as a Mature Age Student!  And not only cuz she nominated me but because I love following her as she shares her non-traditional college student trials with me!  She is an Aussie but I promise, I don't hold it against her, Mate!  Love ya, Caz!!!  

Angelia at Amelioration is not only hilarious but very generous too!  Visit her often for her sense of humor and to win free shit!  I already won a CD and a beautiful scarf which I will be wearing soon because the snow is a'comin!!

Penny Lane of Driven is another straight-shooter and when she is really pissed off.....look out, world!  She makes me feel so normal and understood!!

Lastly (but not leastly =), I love BetsyAnn at The Non-Traditional Student Blog because she is always there to give us non-trads some really good advice!  I also love that she asks us for our feedback and values it enough to incorporate it in her posts!  She always has a kind word as well!!

There are many others that I absolutely love but either they have more than 200 followers OR, I can't readily access the "follow thingy" (technical term) on their blog to see how many followers they actually have (Sorry, Ann, did I miss it?)  Did you see that?  Did you see how I totally just loop-holed the rules?  I am crazy like that...livin' by the seat of my pants!!

#3) Done...see above.

#'s 4&5)  I am basking in the love, having fun and spreading the Karma!  

Enjoy and thank you to everyone who follows me and everyone who I follow for making me feel like a friend even though we never met....well...except for Casey...we met.  But she is uber popular with more than 200 followers!  See how I did that again?  Muah-ha-ha-ha-haaa!
