I am honored…truly honored. But I find myself unprepared and don’t have a speech ready, so let me just thank all those who made this possible (WordPress, Ms. Mouse, my parents, my 4th grade teacher, blah, blah and blah) and leave it at that.
Today I am a recipient of the Versatile Blogger Award which means someone chose my blog as one of their 15 featured blogs. I would like to humbly accept this award and am prepared to pay it forward to 15 other bloggers.
My thanks again to Ms. Mouse for the award. A baby boomer learning to cope with empty nest syndrome, she has a great site at Ms. Mouse Cleans House. Go check it out.
Now to complete my assignment as an award recipient, I must agree to the following conditions:
- Thank the person who gave you the award and link back to them in your post.
- Share 7 things about yourself.
- Pass this Award along to 15 recently discovered blogs and let them know about it!

First, about myself:
1. I majored in Advertising/Public Relations. My goal was to move to New York and work as an advertising copywriter. Specifically, I wanted to write beer commercials. Instead, I remain in SC working in Information Technology. I'm not bitter.
2. I've watched Goodfella's at least 142 times. Runner-up movie is Urban Cowboy.
3. I hate waiting in line for anything.
4. I'm a simple person. Give me a hamburger/fries combo and I'm completely comforted.
5. In spite of #4, I'm always getting ready to start a diet…on Monday.
6. I have a fear of lizards. Not that I think they'll hurt me, but because they represent evil to me.
7. My nickname is Crash. I'm the self-proclaimed Queen of the Fender Bender.
And now may I present the Versatile Blogger Awards to other worthy recipients. My fondness for humor blogs combined with my hope to provide a boost to some fellow blogging has brought me to this selection of 17 (I never was one to follow the rules) blogs I hope you all decide to visit:
JLee’s Blog – I’ve Gone BaNaNas But Managed to SuRvIve
How the hell did i end up here
Pshew…this took a little work, but I like the idea of spreading the word on quality blogs. Enjoy!
Thanks so much for the shout-out and passing on the award! What a nice introduction to your own blog!
You’re so welcome! I have no idea how I stumbled across yours but got lost in WordPress-ville, haha. But I found it and liked it!
Thank you so much for the award!!! I greatly appreciate it
I just started blogging about a month ago and am loving the blogging world so far!
Now, on to my homework of finding some great blogs to write about
Love your blog!!
I’m pretty new too, and I think it’s a cool way to help others get traffic. And I really did like your blog! Trust me…I read a looooot of posts that day!
Haha, thanks!
Wow! I’m truly honored. Only slightly differently from the blogger who won a pony while in Grade 6, the only other time I’VE won anything was when I won a turkey while playing bingo with my Grandma whilst ALSO in Grade 6! Somehow the impact of the whole turkey windfall was a bit lost on my 11-year-old self. THIS, however, I fully grasp and appreciate! I’m loving your blog, too; a nice, new find.
Way to go! Your blog deserves the award. I love the humor and light touch.
Thanks!

Thanks for the Versatile Award – I will deal with this when I have time, perhaps later today. In the meantime, if you want, you could correct the spelling of my name/blog ( :
Looking forward to acquainting myself with your blog!
Oh wow, and I tried to be so careful. Guess I’m not going to have a shot at any contest that request accuracy, huh? I will gladly correct it!
Especially when auto-correct changes my words. I meant “requires”.
Oh my gosh! Sooo honored to have received the Versatile Blogger Award!
Thanks so much! Will be doing my homework this week. And Congrats to you as well! 
And I love the beer commercials – there’s still hope!
Congrats and have fun! Yes, the beer commercial…that sounds like a great blog post!
Congratulations on your award! I like your style of writing, and I have subscribed to your blog. I consider myself a newbie – I don’t really know much about the “rules” of blogging. As far as I know, I write what’s in my heart, and have been doing that on and off since 2009.
Congratulations again! And keep writing ;D
I dont really think there are rules. If there are, I don’t know them either!
Congratulations! And thanks for the link. I’ll definitely pass it on, although I need to do a bit of research first.
I understand…I read so many blogs yesterday!
Congrats on your win!! I like the way you write. I hope to win that award one day, but I think it’ll take a while as I don’t write a humor blog. Keep writing!!
Oh, it doesn’t have to be a humor blog…you’ll get there sooner than you think.
Squee! Wow, I was just checking my phone for the weather tomorrow to see what running wear to bring and got your comment/nominee and that is so much more cool then running. Proper post mannana.
Congratulations! I look forward to following your blog. It did take some work…you could tell by the typos I’ve been trying to correct throughout the day, haha.
I like that you specifically wanted to write beer advertisements. Perhaps you ended up not doing it because that will be what you do when you retire? Congrats on the award!
Well, beer commercials seemed the most fun and I WAS in college then. But my retirement dream OS to just exist as an independently wealthy person…which could happen if I live past, say 120 years.
Sorry, I meant “is”. Fat fingers and auto-correct don’t mix.
I just discovered your Blog moments before your BIG award…..I feel so special!
Your humor is right up my alley….we would have been BFF’s in another lifetime, or this one IF we had known each other existed. Congrats…and keep writing!
Thanks so much! I just checked out your blog too and I’m going to break the rules of the game and add a couple of extras So Congrats to you, too!
What a great idea! Perhaps the next time this award rolls around, you’ll consider mine as one to watch–that is, if all the other blogs fall off the face of the Earth. Hopefully by then, mine will actually make sense.
Again..congrats!
It’s never too late! In fact, I just checked out your blog and look forward to reading more. I’m revising my post to add a couple of new links…I never did follow rules very well
thanks again! The last thing I won was a pony–but that was in the 6th grade. i think i’m due for a new win.
