I won lotto this week. Twenty eight dollars and a few cents, thank you very much. I was quite chuffed. Also this week (probably last week but I haven’t checked in much lately) I won a prize from Sassy. Whoo Hoo! And then in addition to these wins, I also recently won my first blogging award: the Kreativ Blogger Award, given to me by Conor from Hold the Beef. Much appreciated, Conor!
Still unsure as to how exactly I qualified, and in fact, what it all really means, I am taking it nonetheless. That is if I can work out how to fulfil the claiming criteria. Also I am hoping there is not an expiry date as I have been very lax at addressing these. I googled it and checked out a few other blogs that had won in the past, and discovered that the memes had changed somewhere along the way, which I found interesting. Perhaps it is part of one’s creativity, to adapt the award as you go along! My creative spin was to add both of the images I found. However, I will do exactly as has been instructed by the following rules:
1. You must thank the person who has given you the award.
2. Copy the logo and place it on your blog.
3. Link to the person who has nominated you for the award.
4. Name 7 things about yourself that people might find interesting.
5. Nominate 7 other Kreativ Bloggers.
6. Post links to the 7 blogs you nominate.
7. Leave a comment on the blogs to let them know they have been nominated.
My nominations for the 7 other Kreative Bloggers are:
1. Sassy from Over the Rainbow (and NOT just because she’s giving me a prize, I swear! If you check out her blog you will she is a bit of a masterchef among other things…)
2. Jim and Wood from Sweet Juniper! For their interesting combination of photographical exploits and examination of their local history
3. Heather from Dooce for her interior design, photographic skills and turn of phrase
4. Mel from Stirrup Queens for her all-round fabulousness and amazing ability to weave and maintain the web that is the world of infertility blogging. Without which I simply would not have made it through the long dark years.
5. Pamela Jeanne from Coming to Terms (among others) for sharing her journey with us in such an open and insightful way. AND then writing and publishing a book about it!!
6. Lori from Weebles Woblog for her free-range blogging on many interesting topics
7. Daisy from Still Stuck in the Middle With You because over the past two years she has re created herself – and that is no mean task!
7 Things that other people might (or might not) find interesting about me:
1. I didn’t get my driver’s licence until I was 21
2. My current favourite radio station plays 100% Bossanova
3. When introduced to the school principal on my first day of grade one, I apparently climbed onto his desk, put my hands on my hips and said: Hi, my name’s ***, what’s YOUR name?
4. I used to win a lot of competitions through teenage music magazines in the 80’s. Three of my bedroom walls were covered in A-Ha posters. I only threw them out this year.
5. My wisdom teeth, appendix and tonsils have all been removed. If I have another ectopic pregnancy my fallopian tubes will follow them.
6. My favourite cocktail is a Brandy Alexander
7. I still don’t understand why life is not fair, but I am trying not to let it bother me so much.
Ok that’s it. Now I just have to nip around to my nominees and let them know they’ve won something too!
