We interrupt your regularly scheduled blog reading pleasure with the following announcements:
1) I have been awarded the Reader Appreciation Award
*
*
The rules are (…so simple and I truly appreciate simple lately)
List six nominations.
Word Play
Link the award image back to the one who presented it to you. This was kindly sent to me by TR Jensen from Narcissists Blog . This is not the first award I have received from the Narcissist – I have been following her almost from the time I started my own blog. She writes a fascinating blog about standing on her own, dating & relationships in general. I’m sure you would enjoy it, go check her out.
2) I have been awarded the Versatile Blogger Award
*
*
*
The rules of the award are:
1. Add the award to your blog Since I have already received this award previously, I am going to thank the person who sent it to me (see #2) & then refer you to my Blog Roll on the right side of my blog for all the people I normally follow as the people I would like to have this award (but no pressure to actually do anything)
2. Thank the blogger who gave it to you. I would like to thank Pink Ninjabi for passing this award on to me. A fellow Canadian, Pink writes a similar blog to mine except she makes great use of pictures of cats to illustrate her points. I think you would enjoy reading her blog.
3. Mention 7 Random Things about yourself. I am a dog person & I am allergic to cats; I am also allergic to rabbits, feathers, spring in general & mould; I am a night owl (as if you couldn’t already tell that from when I post); I wear glasses to work at the computer; I am too short for my weight; I do not like hot or spicy food & to me large bodies of water are extremely calming.
4. List the rules (check!)
5. Pass on the Award to 15 or more bloggers. So if you choose to accept this assignment, the rules are listed here.
And now, back to your regularly scheduled blog reading. . .
In other news, I have to return to work next week. I know, I know, it’s such short notice. This probably means less commenting, less writing because I will have so much less time to devote to my friends in the blogosphere. I will do my best to keep up, but don’t be alarmed if you don’t hear from me – I may be forced to only hit the Like button to let you know I’ve been there due to time constraints.
I will try to get in another post before I return to work on Monday, May 8. Have a great weekend everyone!

Thank you for the award! I think I’m going to just play a bit with the rules, but it should be fun. I am also thinking of designing a “I’m a porn star” blog badge for those of you who I have used.

Thanks. I might have to skip this altogether. I have a million blog tasks to do, and family is here. I will try though.

It has taken me 2 weeks to get these done, so don’t feel pressured to get them done in a certain time period. Since I knew I had to go back to work, I worked extra hard to try to get caught up with these. And then when I was finished, I realized I had missed one & I need to do another acceptance.

Congratulations. Now you will have to be initiated into the cult. Don’t worry, we’ll just need a few pints of blood for the ritual.
