The O Word Wins an Award!

April 14th, 2009 . by Cary

I knew that eventually, someone, some day, would recognize what an awesome job I’m doing by maintaining this little corner information kiosk on the information superhighway.

Well, actually, it was awarded last month, and I only just today found out about it because – well, read through and you’ll figure it out.

Mary of “Hidden Treasures” thought I deserved this award. From the obligatory pass-ot-on verbiage:

“This award is bestowed upon a fellow blogger whose blog’s content or design is, in the giver’s opinion, brilliant.”

“When accepting this auspicious award, you must write a post bragging about it, including the name of the misguided soul who thinks you deserve such acclaim, and link back to the said person so everyone knows she/he is real. Choose a minimum of seven (7) blogs that you find brilliant in content or design. Or improvise by including bloggers who have no idea who you are because you don’t have seven friends. Show the seven random victims’ names and links and leave a harassing comment informing them that they were prized with Honest Weblog. Well, there’s no prize, but they can keep the nifty icon. List at least ten (10) honest things about yourself. Then pass it on!”

OK, first, the ten (10) honest things about myself:

  • 1. I find it difficult to blow my own horn, so bragging is quite the stretch here.
  • 2. I call it my daily read, but this award was passed to me back on March 25, and I only found out because I felt guilty for not getting over there and reading more often…and she’s on my “daily read” list – twice!
  • 3. “Conservative by Nature, Christian by Choice” is more than a slogan – I really do live that way.
  • 4. Although I am working a bit here and there, I would rather be bringing in the majority of the income so my wife could stay home with our child.
  • 5. I quit drinking Coke (again!) on March 14, 2009, so it’s been a month; in the process I have lost twenty pounds.
  • 6. I miss my caffeine.
  • 7. I don’t miss the sugar from the soda or the acid reflux that the caffeine brings.
  • 8. That’s why I can’t just drink coffee for the caffeine.
  • 9. I am a self-taught bass player. I have many bad habits from that start in need of being broken.
  • 10. I am truly blessed to have Jesus as my personal Lord and Savior, and to have found and married The Most Beautiful Woman in the World, and to have the cutest daughter ever.

    Now then – who to bestow this prestigious honor upon…

    Of course, I will start with the bloggers that I know and have broken bread with:

    Gawfer, Greybeard, and Doug.

    Then there are those who I hope to meet soon (in no particular order):

    Sues, Texas Fred, Jenn, Gunny John, Bushwack, and Bloviating Zeppelin.

    I know, that’s nine. (11. I can’t count and have a hard time leaving off deserving people.)

    This sure leaves off a lot of deserving blogs – but if I get awarded again, I can certainly hand out another grouping.

    I’m off to leave the “harassing comment informing them” so ya’ll have a good day.

    Chat ya later…
