After years of scribbling into notebooks and sacrificing nights out with friends in order to stay home and write, my hard work, hermit-like behavior and penchant for idiosyncratic photography has finally paid off.That is to say: I have received the prestigious and much-coveted Blog of Steel Award.
Thank you to M@ for the nomination (which he admits came mostly out of pity) and to the friends and family who stood by me all these years.
I would like to pass this honor along to =) whose humor — though fairly new to blogger — is worthy of an increased readership.
Well! Congratulations! It was that idiosyncratic photography that caused me to become a regular reader (found by following a link on Burnett's Urban Etiquette). The writing kept me returning. Good for you!
ReplyDeleteCongrats!
ReplyDeleteI'll have to check out the Person Formally Known As =).
ReplyDeleteWe all knew you could do it. Now just don't forget us little people.
ReplyDeleteCongrats! Don't know whether I like the photos or the writing more - so I'll have to say both are fabulous!
ReplyDeletewell done.
ReplyDeleteCongrats! But you forgot to go on with you speech for too long, thanking everyone including you pet's hair stylists. :-P
ReplyDeleteKeep it up. We love your Blog of Steel.

David - Welcome to YAWP! Feel kind of bad that I can't reciprocate. Do you have a public blog of your own, by any chance?
ReplyDeleteMeh & DS - Is now a good time to point out it's not a real award? :)
M@ - Funny you say that, because that's almost how I referred to her here.
Workman - I'll be sure to thank all y'all my acceptance speech.
Michele - Thanks! I think this award was more about pity, but I'll take what I can get. ;)
BPP - Oh you know I'd thank Maude — at the very least.
Blog reading has replaced column reading for me (I miss Royko). Dave Barry led me to Burnett, who led me to YAWP, who led me to M@, =),... I would guess that previous winners of the award would be even more protective of it - increasing rather than decreasing its value.
ReplyDeleteLove your acceptance speech.
ReplyDeleteFlex!!!
I am so proud of you. You make us cat ladies proud honey!
ReplyDeleteWow!
ReplyDeleteI am honored to have the award passed along to me. I will try to be worthy of your sponsorship!
My luck this will be the post that causes my poor little blog to Jump the Shark.
I don't have to get a cat now do I?
