Simply Magical!

I've just been awarded the Magical Golden Blogger Award!! This is an exclusive award, given only to a few select "MAGICAL GOLDEN" people by the kind and generous Magical Golden Cat and I'm happy to have been selected to receive it! Sorry folks can't pass this one around...it's mine to keep!

Check out my new Awards Plaque which has all my other awards new and old, if you have a moment.

What a Wonderful Weekend!

They say that good things always come in threes! Usually I don't subscribe to that theory but today I have proof that it does!

It started with Jean...she gave me a very thoughtful reminder about what friendship is all about. In the short time that I've know her we've grown to be friends and I'm really happy to her friend! They say that freinds are hard to find and good friends are even harder but you've managed to make it look so easy! Thanks sweet kind Jean!

Then came Santa! Yes, the big guy just couldn't wait any longer to bring cheer to the world and had to give out something! I was a proud recipient of the Santa Certified Award! Ho Ho Ho This award also brings special meaning to me because I really do love Christmas and anything to do with it! Afterall, it is the undisputed best time of the year! Where giving is better than receiving! Thanks Big Red! I promise to be good!


Lastly Marzie bestowed upon me the Thoughtful Blogger Award! I am really happy to be chosen for this award too! Coming from one of the most thoughtful people I know, it is indeed an honor to receive it from her! I'll be chosing my recepients in the coming days and already have a few wonderful people in mind to pass it on too! Thanks Marzie for making it easy for me to be a thoughtful blogger!

ROCKin' & AWEsome

When it rains in pours! It must be awards season because as soon as I'd sent out the Power of Schmooze Award which I got from Marzie, I get a Awesome Guy Blogger Award from DiamondSapphire. Best part is my good buddy Nick also got one too. Talk about a great week! By the way do these awards come with any cash? LOL

I'm not a man of many words (most of the time) and I want to keep this brief because I don't have the time right now (juggling between the little one, work and the gym and trying to blog) and because I want to send this to one particularly special person who I feel deserves this award before someone else gets to her. :)

Marzie for the friend you are! You've blown me away with your kindness and patience in helping me on my way! And from what I've read you've done this for everyone and they all are touched my your magical hand! You really are A Rocking Girl Blogger no matter what they say LOL!

Janice you a a really geat mom who is so wonderful with your Amos and Zach! And one Rocking Mom!

Yasmin For making me laugh with the jokes you post! You rock!

Speedcathollydale For the witty comments that you left behind! Awesome Dude!

Barrett For the support you always gave! You're Awesome!

Congratulations to all the wonderful recipients! The check is in the mail but I wouldn't hold my breath! LOL Yikes look at the time...gotta run! Ciao!

Schmoozalicious Baby!

DOH! What can I say - this is my first award and I am absolutely thrilled by it! I'd like to thank my good friend and mentor Marzie for giving me this boost of blogging confidence! When I started here I was absolutely lost and I found a friend who was both patient and kind in Marzie. She patiently helped me beef up my blog to something readable! I really don't know how she finds the time but she does and I've truly grateful to her for that! Okay enough sucking up! ; ) LOL

As it goes, schmoozing is the natural ability “to converse casually, especially in order to gain an advantage or make a social connection.” Good schmoozers effortlessly weave their way in and out of the blogosphere, leaving friendly trails and smiles, happily making new friends along the way. They don’t limit their visits to only the rich and successful, but spend some time to say hello to new blogs as well. They are the ones who engage others in meaningful conversations, refusing to let it end at a mere hello - all the while fostering a sense of closeness and friendship. So how in the world I got this award I will never know LOL but I've thought of five great people who have made me welcome and schmoozed their way into my blog and life that I'd like to give this most prestigious Power of Schmooze Award!

Nick for being my best buddy for over twenty long painful years LOL He was the evil rat who introduced me to blogging and everyone knows once your blog you never can stop! LOL Buddy! You deserve this! I hope to see it on Anything Goes and make sure you pass it on or I'll have to come there and smack you! LOL

For the rest of the awardees I'd like to make it simple. Each one of you below have made blogging here a pleasure and made me want to go on, I sincerely would like to award the Power of Schmooze to you. I'm only sorry that I've only got "four more" awards to give! to the rest who I've missed out, you still are great friends and Schmoozers to me!
