It’s the first of February and what a wonderful start to the month it’s been. The lovely Diane has decided to nominated me for the Reality Blog Award, and what a rare honour it is.

Diane’s blog is called hometog0232 and is a place filled with fictional tales, interesting thoughts and lots of love, a true home of an inspired writer, even if she calls herself a “writerwannabe”

Now Diane knows me well enough to tell me I don’t have to play by the rules when excepting the award, so I won’t answer the questions asked but I will nominate three wonderful blogs of my own.

But first I will give the reasons why:

They are RARE in this multitude of blogs in this expansive wordpress world.EVERYDAY I look forward to reading their posts and/or their comments on my offerings of the day. I ALWAYS learn something of feel inspired by their words and I feel LUCKY to have found them, or they me, floating around in this world wide web. These blogs are INTELLIGENT and I always feel I better after reading them, either because I have learnt something, have something to think about or my belly hurts from laughing. I enjoy their TRUTHFUL representation of what they believe and who they are, always honest and truly enjoyable. These blogs are YUMMY bites of words, whipped up into delicious slices of thoughts and ideas, sustenace for teh soul if you will.

So here are my nominees for this rare reality award:

Mr JDGallager

DianaSSchwenk and her talktodiana

CarrieRubin

And because I enjoy her company so much:

Yesterday was filled with surprises. It started when a friend parked her car outside my front door and let me use it for the day, my shopping trip was so much easier that way, and as I drove through the sunshine I felt very loved and cared for, what a great way to start the day.

In the afternoon, as I was trawling through some lovely comments my readers let me while I was AWOL, I discovered I was nominated for several awards (more tomorrow). But the bigger surprise was when I saw that I was shortlisted for Blog Awards Ireland in the category Best Personal Blog. I couldn’t believe it and even though I haven’t won I was thrilled to even get that far. I did a little happy dance and couldn’t help but skip around the house. And I was so thrilled when I saw that funny, clever and quirky JDGallagher is a finalist. His post Everybody Knows The War Is Over, Everybody Knows The Good Guys Lost is up for best Blog post so go check it out. I have been following him for a while and he seems to follow me and even nominated me.

Shortlisted for Blog Awards Ireland, category Best Personal Blog

As the evening approached and I was baking for today, I have a gaggle of girlfriends coming over for high-noon tea, a very good friend sent me a text and invited me to join her and some friends to see Jools Holland and his Big Band. I love boogie, jazz, blues and all those hip swinging, twist inspiring sounds so was delighted to accept. So I spent the night clapping, swaying, singing, dancing and enjoying a plethora of amazing sounds. And for all of you who weren’t there a little taste:

So bring on today and what surprises it may hold! After all the sun is shining and that is always a good sign.

perfect three

Another week filled with appreciation,writing and creativeness and I get three awards too boot! I can’t believe how thoughtful people are and how many seem to enjoy my little posts of random thought, ideas and sometimes rants.

The lovely EllieBloo thanked me for writing

The weird and very wonderful NovoZen called me creative (I think)

The endearing Hawkruh appreciated me

Now most blog awards have rules and I am happy to partially abide by them, three of them to be exact. Link back to the blogger who nominated you, link to your nominees and post the award. As I have given tidbits about myself away in the past (I am really not that interesting) and it has been quite a long day I will just ignore talking about myself or giving long accolades so here are my three times three nominees:

So check them out, enjoy getting to know them and have fun:
