It’s Friday again and this week has been a little bit all over the place for me. I didn’t get half of what I wanted to done and I have been battling against sleepless nights, tingly skin and lots of lost cause thoughts. BUT two wonderful co-bloggers haven’t seemed to notice my ups and downs this week and have bestowed me with two wonderful awards: The One Lovely Blog award and The Very Inspirational Blogger Award. Now I know there are always rules attached to such accolades but I will be the lovely me I am and I feel inspired to break a few of them.
The funny Jim Chapman gave me the The Very Inspirational Blogger Award. His lovely blog And that makes two is full of quotes, poems, pics and descriptions of his day to day life with his small kids. It’s very funny and always a good read so check it out.
The lovely TheForgottenWife nominated me for The One Lovely Blog Award. Her very personal blog TheForgottenWife talks about her divorce, her hopes dreams and the ups and downs when starting over. It is a great little find and I always enjoy our “online” chats.
Both these awards require you to share 7 facts about yourself and nominate 15 co-bloggers you love and want to make happy with a well deserved token of gratitude. BUT I am really not that interesting so 14 facts seems somewhat excessive and 30 nominees is , well to be honest, just so much work. So I have decided to give you 7 facts in total and nominate seven for one award and seven for the other and one very special blogger gets both … muwhahaha (evil laugh).
Okay my 7 facts are: I love getting awards (1) but hate nominating bloggers as I always feel I forget someone (2). I love spending time with friends (3) but sometimes staying home alone is all I want to do (4). I have been telling stories all my life (5) but there was a time when I found it hard to differentiate between tales and tall tales (6). I think I may have become a little too attached to my stats and am astounded that they can make me happy and sad in equal measure. (7)
My Nominees for The One Lovely Blog Award are: AsTimeGoesBuy, TheSubterraneanWorld , TheGoodOldGirl, TinRoofPress, TalkToDiana, Hawkhru, Amusingdays
My Nominees for The Very Inspirational Blogger Award are: AdverseUniverse, Seapunk2, JotsFromASmallApt, ReallityInProgress, BrigittesBanter, NewsOfTheTimes, TheWitContiuum
And for both (insert drum-roll here): LillandJill
So have a wonderful weekend, browse all these lovely blogs and maybe I will have some more inspiration over the weekend and my blogs will be better again 😉
Congrats on receiving them both. You surely deserve them!

Congratulations and thank you too much 🙂
Love,
-NAIMA.
I can definitely relate to the ‘me’ time…course part of the reason I like ‘me’ time is because I’m the main feature 😀
And please keep telling your stories – we’ve been crazy busy the past several weeks and haven’t been out and about in the blogosphere as much as we’d like, but we both feel better knowing you’re still writing and delighting others :-)…L
ah you are so sweet …
Congratulations! Good luck finding that additional inspiration.

I love your writing…Congratulations…Diane
thanks so much 🙂
Congrats for the award and thanks for nominating me. Mine is far from perfect but… well… thank you…
you are so welcome
Thank you so much for the award. I too love to get them! And I also dislike having to come up with nominees since I might leave out someone I really like. And what did you say about your stats? I get confused with them. I get a lot of likes, and my followers keep going up, but those stats just stay the same…so for me it too is a love/hate relationship. I’m thinking about removing them from my dashboard all together. What a relief that would be. In any case, thanks again for the inspiring award! Love your blog too! xo, Wit
glad you love getting awards, I love giving them and I have no idea why your stats stay the same mine are different every day 🙂
I just did what I said I’d do: I removed the stat bar for now. 🙂 Make me feel better.
lol
Only just managed to get back on and say thank you for your kind words about my little blog. Your work is definitely a worthy recipient of any awards sent your way.
Thanks once again and keep up the good work!
ah thanks and right back at you
