Serious Sunglasses Required
I don’t accept awards as a rule because accepting them properly is time consuming—and I’m not getting any younger while I stumble through all the hoops necessary. Also, I find it difficult singling out any one blogger because all of you are spectacular. If you are reading this post, grab an award on your way past the blindingly polished glass case and pick up something shiny to your liking.
I am embarrassed. How can I be so far behind? Only a year… *Blushes and looks at shoes*
Prepare to be impressed. I sure as hell am.
I thank you ALL for choosing to share these awards with me. I am speechless and pink with pleasure over these honours.
Please check out the blogs below for fantastic reading. Some I have noticed haven’t been on my radar for ages (Mostly towards the bottom of this list). As well, I know I have somehow missed a few. My apologies.
I will figure out how to do it and will post a ‘warning’ regarding awards from now on.

I’m not sure, Naomi, but I DO appreciate validation once in a while. I was lax for so long, the list got longer and with the recent awards, I knew I had to do something. As I see myself, I am s-l-o-w but sure.
