Meet the Bloggers, Part Deux
Blogging March 17th, 2008it’s that time again. i thought i’d show some love some to the bloggers on my blogroll, but blogscar style. i even created a badge of honor never to be given out again for the occasion. so without further delay, meet the bloggers, part deux….

try keeping up with this blogger if you can. to me her name is actually a verb and a constant reminder of what i need to do. she stylishly sets the mood for each of her post with a funky converse sneaker. her blog will leave you huffing and puffing with laughter of tales of a mom and woman on the run. not only does she have 19% body fat, but she’s also 100% fun! if you don’t believe me, sprint on over to her blog and see for yourself. for outstanding costume design the blogscar award goes to cardio girl.
get out your dictionary and thesaurus for this next blogger. in her profile, she describes herself as a lover of big words and she even manages to combine two of my favorites in her blog title. this confident, garrulous blogger shows off her incredible writing skills and will leave you laughing out loud. this blog is a must for your feeder or inbox. for best animated feature, the blogscar award goes to the loquaciously verbose ramblings of 1 slacker.
if you are new blogging or just need some guidance, this next blogger offers online lessons and assignments. her posts are informative, educational, thought provoking and she ends each one with a series of questions just to make sure we’ve got the sense of what she’s written. for best direction, the blogscar award goes to blogging without a blog. now while barbara may be a master at blogging without a blog, you will need a computer to access her blog. barbara, thanks for all you do!
in the 1800, this next lord was likely a member of the english aristocracy during the victorian era. “tales of his exhilarating, enthralling and highly erotic exploits were legendary, but now his personal diaries have resurfaced” for all to read. these stories are for the more mature crowd, so proceed with caution. for best actor in a performance, and for teaching me to have fun with titles, the blogscar award is bestowed upon none other than lord likely.
there is nothing random about this next blog, i think it’s intentionally delightful and it happens to be one of my favorite personal blogs. her posts are entertaining, witty and always leave me with wanting more. i also love the navigational links at the top of her blog, it’s like flipping through a great book you don’t want to put down. for best art direction and a great new header, the blogscar goes to my random blog.
so there you have it….this was fun, no commercials, no wardrobe changes…i interrupt this rambling to bring to you one more blog i would like to highlight. i found this blog through stumble upon and have seen it linked at in my heels, so kudos to zen habits who blogs about great ways to be a better you through:
productivity and organization
finance and family
and simplicity
these are the keys to life!

And now for my acceptance speech.
I would like to personally thank Natural Woman for bestowing this award on me and my blog. It’s such an honor to receive frequent visits from Natural, words of wisdom and kudos, motivation and inspiration, but most of all to have a “student” that has consistently scored a perfect score on the assignments.
I would also like to thank the academy, the blog writers guild, the commenters committee, all of my friends in cyberspace, God, my parents, by husband, by kids, my dogs…
I’m running out of time…
my friends, my hairdresser….
my manicurist, my auto mechanic…
And again, thank you Natural for the award.

Wow, Natural Woman. I’m speechless! This was so unexpected. I’d like to thank Converse because without them, I’d be an unexpressed blogger. (Between you and me I’m nervously waiting to be busted by their legal team).
Thank you for your kind words, Natural Woman; I really appreciate that!

Wow Barbara, that’s some speech and funny too. Ah, my good morning laugh, now I need coffee. Seriously though, you got a good thing going on over there at Blogging Without A Blog and I’m learning a lot…thanks for your efforts. I’ll be over later to see what you have to teach me today.
Jillian, you’re so welcome and I’m glad to be a reader of your blog. You are a riot and keep me smiling.
Cardio Girl, I’ve been working on this for, uh weeks. I think your converse idea is so cool, I even change my mood based on what the converse says, lol. America runs on Cardio Girl!

Corrina, you’re so welcome. I enjoy reading your blog and like to save up all your posts, then sit down and flip through them. Notice I comment all of them on the same day.
Yep Robert, I enjoy reading all of them and I miss your personal blog.
JEMi, yeah Barbara pulled that speech out of her hat. I loved it. She was in the spirit.
Monique, wasn’t it great. I felt like I was on the front row watching. I even TIVO’ed the speech in my mind and replayed it.
Barbara, take all the time you need.

Nameless! Nice to see you again. Hope you are well. The blogscar is officially retired, but I will come up with another award of some kind, soon.
March 19th, 2008 at 11:05 am
I believe it is customary at this juncture to thank everyone who supported me, blah blah blah.
Sod that, I say. I did this, all by my wondrous self!
Many thanks for bestowing this fine award upon me, m’dear!

Cool list and very well done. I have been stopping by these blogs to check them out as I have only heard of a few of them before. Nice layouts on these blogs too. Cool beans!
March 20th, 2008 at 10:03 pm
You’re welcome my lord, keep it up!
Thanks Alexys. At the last minute I decided to create a badge, I like it too. I’ll have to do this again and find another way to be creative about it.
Yes Joe, I read all of these blogs and they are all something special..each bringing their own style of laughter.
