A SORRY EXCUSE FOR AN ACCEPTANCE SPEECH




I recently received a wonderful blog award from Lisa E at "From the Outside Looking In" (http://snogirllygoeskeyboardhappy.blogspot.com/).


***


Lisa is passing on an award she recently received; and I absolutely love her acceptance award post:



***


"I am sitting here in my favorite Vera Wang Evening Gown, freshy pedicured in Heeled Slides, Hair in an elaborate UPDO, and in Full RED CARPET make-up, including MAC lipgloss in playful pink, sipping champagne, as I humbly accept this award. I am thrilled that my first blog award ever has been given to me by my friend, Steven. Dude you rock, and continually knock my socks off (ha, I know you like that) ."




***

I'm sorry if disappoint you all, but contrary to the glitz and glamor of Lisa E's acceptance attire, I'm a little bit more casual. I'm accepting the award here in the comfort of my humble abode (carpet needs vacuuming - sorry!), sitting at my wee little corner computer desk, drinking a HUGE cup of my favorite tea (and I'M sorry it's not champagne). I'm wearing my jammies with the little trees all over them (sans bra -- Ohhh, really sorry this time! Not a pretty sight!!), and my tan-colored carpet slippers (which may or may not be a little smelly, depending your standards! .... Sorry!)



***

If it helps any, I haven't washed off my office make-up yet and I'm still wearing my pretty earrings!

***


"Thank you, thank you, newfound friend, Lisa E, for this amazing award! I shall endeavor to live up to it's prestigious reputation!"


***

(Slurp, slurp, ahhhh! Rumble, rumble -- BURP!)


***

"Sorry!"




***


***


So, here are the rules once you accept this award (which I gratefully and disgracefully do):






  1. Each Superior Scribbler must in turn pass The Award on to 5 most-deserving Bloggy Friends


  2. Each Superior Scribbler must name the author, the name of the blog, and link of the blog, from whom he/she has received the award (me-Sandy aka Doris the Great) http://newfie-girl.blogspot.com/


  3. Each Superior Scribbler must display The Award on his/her blog, and link to This Post http://scholastic-scribe.blogspot.com/2008/10/200-this-blings-for-you.html, which explains The Award.


  4. Each Blogger who wins The Superior Scribbler Award must visit this post and add his/her name to the Mr. Linky List. (that Mr. Linky thing is on the bottom of the award description page)That way, we'll be able to keep up-to-date on everyone who receives This Prestigious Honor!


  5. Each Superior Scribbler must post these rules on his/her blog.

You are so kind to award this to me too. I am not good at passing on awards so will be posting it in my side bar along with a link to your journal. I just think that all of the others I read including you are worthy of the award. Thank you for reading my blog.
