Emily from Holden Down the Fort (her baby is a boy- hence the blue) nominated me for a Blogger Recognition Award! Woo hoo!
Thanks, Emily!!
I’m excited !! Y’all know how much of an attention hog I am!!
She said she nominated me : “Because your blog is extremely motivational to me!”
That’s so sweet!
Now the boring part, those pesky rules, that dominate the fun.
- I must thank the Blogger who nominated me and provide a link to their blog. Gladly!
- I must write a post to show the award. Happily!
- I must write a brief story on how my blog started. Of course!!
- I must give two pieces of advice to new bloggers. Hmmm, must I be bossy?? Well, I’ll try. 😉
- I must select 15 bloggers to pass this award on to. Oh, must I??? Only if I want to be compliant!
- I must comment on each of their blogs to let them know they have been nominated for this award and provide a link to this post. Cheerfully!
I started blogging cuz I was getting sick (and tired!) of being a messy!! And ready to be more like my (Cleanie!) Mama, and Granny, and Grandma….
I found Nony, from A Slob Comes Clean, who has now come clean as Dana, and that’s all she wrote. Oops, not actually, she’s still blogging!! LOL
I realized that I could begin recovery from slobbery, just like I was in recovery from alcoholism. God delivered me from alcohol, and now I have to do my daily part, of never putting that first sip in my mouth, ever again. So, in the quest for recovery from messiness, I have to do my daily part, of washing the dishes! And maybe a little something else, like sweeping??
So, now I yammer on endlessly, documenting the messes, and celebrating my cleaning successes! And nearly break my arms, in the process of patting myself on the back so often!
Advice:
Make sure you remember to take Before pix!!! Extremely important!! Cuz after you clean up the mess, you surely don’t want to try to recreate it!!
Learn how to take advantage of all the free blogging tools out there!! Cuz being “ignert ain’t no fun”!! My BBFFJ, BestBloggingFriendForeverJanice, can help you with all that stuff.
My Nominees:
I’m too tired to even try to count how many this is!! In the midst of moving, AND had both girls today for 9 hours!! Nite, nite time!!
Congratulations! You definitely deserve recognition! Best wishes for many more!

Big-time congratulations, Melinda. You are a super-woman who decluttered an entire life and somehow found the time to blog — you deserve recognition FOR SURE!! And I so appreciate your thinking of ME as someone to pass along the award baton. Thank you so much.
I appreciate your intention and your support more than I can say, but that time and overwhelm thing makes it impossible for me to comply with the rules of acceptance, unfortunately. I usually lack the time to take a long soak in the tub most days (my primary de-stress strategy).

I’m so sorry it has taken me so long to see this! I forget to check my spam folder. I sure don’t know what criteria they use! No problem, I understand. And thanks for all the congrats!!

‘Sokay — but don’t get me started on the spam folder. I get so much (according to the spam counter on my sidebar, 1,118,715 to date!!), I don’t forget to check it, it’s not worth my TIME to check — especially since I hardly ever find more than one or two legit comments when I do, if that.
And yes, that’s OVER a MILLION. Can you imagine what my blog would be like if not for Akismet catching the buggars?

WOW!!!! I often find legit comments, every time I check it. Very thankful for all the ones it does catch, tho!! Some of them are really nasty.
It would probably curl our hair!!

Most of mine have been merely annoying or actually funny that they think it would work. I do my best not to get hooked into reading them – but I have to wonder if those link-spammers have LIVES!
