There's a lotta Blogosphere Love going around this week...

Two lovely ladies with lovely blogs gave me awards this week. I'm both tickled and humbled by their kind words. Tina and Lee, I thank you for thinking of me. You've both blessed me :-)

Tina at Jetihoja Academy gave me the following award:
This award comes with a few rules. Here they are:

Rules:
1. Awarded parties must nominate five people who have not received the award.
2. The blogs that receive the award must serve some purpose.
3. In their post about the award they need to link back to this entry.
4. Awarded parties must post the award banner on their site. The banner must remain linked to this site.

And Lee at My 5 Wolf Cubs gave me this award:
This award doesn't come with any rules, so I'm going to add it to the above award and pass the love on to some of my favorite people. Note to my favorite bloggers: I must admit that awards with "musts" and "have tos" and "rules" kinda bring out the rebel in me. So I'm hereby letting you know that you can post or not post the following awards and that you can pass on the love ... or not. My feelings won't be hurt (I totally know that these award things can kinda be like chain letters of yesteryear). I just wanted to let you know that I appreciate you and your blogs - that you inspire me, speak words of wisdom to me, make me laugh, make me think ... Oh yeah, and I'm ignoring the number 5 and that rule about only awarding those who haven't already been awarded...

KathyJo at Barefoot Meandering
Leslie at My Happily Ever After
Donna (aka MizBooshay) at Quiet Life
Katherine at K's Cafe: The 30 Second Blog
Patricia at Classical Ed Our Way
Nancy at Life is Like a Lunchbox
Lisa at Koinonia Academy

And since I'm breaking the rules, anyway, I would give the award right back to Tina and Lee, both of whom I find to be purposeful and excellent!!

And now I'm officially going back to being Short On Words. Happy Saturday, All!
