Crap. I won "The Versatile Blogger" award from not one, but TWO pallies this week. And being that I'm so darn bad at posting these things, listing a cabillion things and passing it on, I'd better do it now or it's gonna get forgotten.So, thank you, Sharky at My Quality Day and Staci at Just Boggled--for honoring me/making me do this.
Here are the folks I'm gonna bestow this honor on in return:
1. Catherine over at Corner of a Cat's Mind--one of my favorite photographers of all time. Dang, she has a great blog with photos to die for. AND Banjo can be found there.
2. DG at Diary of a Mad Bathroom--Two words: Spike and Brownie. Need I say more? Oh, and DG is rockin' too.
3. Grace at Hugz Before You Go--I love Grace. I love her grumpiness. I love her pearls of wisdom. I love how she is so honest all the time--I like that in a person. I'm starting a rumor that Grace is gonna move to Weirdville. Can you imagine me and Grace as neighbors? Hee! Hee!
4. Melodie over at Laughing Duck Farm--I love the antics over at her place. I mean, who has a turkey sitting on their house? Well, maybe Sara at Red Pine Mountain, but not me! I think I would like a turkey on my house--it would make me laugh.
5. Aw, heck. I'm tagging Sara too. Her turkey stories really make me laugh! And she sorta needs a hug these days as her dog pally is struggling.
Okay, and here is the required list of seven things you may not know about me:
1. Biting into mint anything makes me sneeze. But only the very first bite.
2. I love to clean house alone with the show tunes on. I sing along at the top of my lungs--hence the being alone part. I've got some showstoppers in "Wicked" and "Rent" just in case you are wondering.
3. I always wear lipstick. Always. But it is because I get chapped lips easily.
4. I do not own a pair of sweat pants.
5. I know how to drive a stick shift.
6. I curse like a truck driver.
7. I like this video. And it is better than the original artist if you ask me. This guy is just so expressive. I like his faces. I dedicate this to A.Marie. ;)
Happy Friday, pallies!

NO SWEAT PANTS?! What the hell!! How can a gal own waders but no sweat pants? Jooooeeee, buy Lin a fabulous running suit for Christmas--you know the kind that you can sweat in but has an adorable matching jacket.
Show tunes always sound better when the songtress is wearing sweat pants. I promise.
Hey, thanks for the award. It's been a while since I got one of these!
Hmmm - Shall i surprise you and "accept" this award? The cursing thing surprised me, also the lipstick thing. "pearls of wisdom" eh? Is that what they are :)
It'd be fabulous if Grace was your neighbor!
You surprised me on the stuff we didn't know about you like the lipstick and no sweatpants! I sneeze with mint too - even mint toothpaste.
Only surprised about one thing: the sweatpants thing. Um, hello? Us women need to stick together on the frumpy thing....if one of us breaks code then all of us feel the pressure to have to put on actual clothes to watch TV vs. just our "easy pants" as I like to call them. GEEZ Lin, way to ruin it!
Side questions unrelated to post ..... is the cat picture in the upper left hand corner a different cat than Hobbes? Hobbes is all orange and no white - right??
NO WAY!!! ME TOO with the mints...my family thinks Im so freaking weird but now Im not the only one and I'm so relieved!
Im so happy. seriously you have no idea. I have to ask do you hiccup when you drink fizzy soda - first sip -that would totally make my day...
Congratulations on your award and your mint situation cracks me up!
Jodi--NOOOOO! I refuse to wear those things! I do, however, have yoga pants that I wear. Does that count?
DG--Yeah, sorry. I typically hate awards, but I know some folks like to do them. If you don't, don't worry about it.
Grace--I would like to see what your list would be, Grace. But don't feel obligated. I usually don't post these things.
Beaded Tail--Whew! I'm glad I'm not the only weirdo who sneezes with mint! My family thinks I'm nuts!
Nancy--I wear yoga pants--does that count? They are still comfy and casual, but I absolutely refuse to walk out the door in them.
LJ--That kitty is my Henry who's death prompted Hobbes to come live with us. Hobbes is there on the side--he is orange stripey all over! No white. Just lots and lots of orange--like 17 lbs worth! I can't wait to see what you are making!!!!!
Tracy--We have a Mint-Sneeze club now! Hooray! There are actually 3 of us here who do that. It's kind of a support group--Hi, I'm Lin. I sneeze when I eat mint.....
No hiccups on fizzy soda, sorry.
Violet--There's 3 of us here who do that!!! Who knew??!
You are so sweet Lin ~ thank you for the award and your sweet words ~ you make me blush!!! :)
Perhaps we should go on a roadtrip together (as long as you drove the stick shift), for I swear like a drunken sailor and we could sing to show tunes at the top of our lungs, except I would be wearing no lipstick! hahaha!
And I totally love the video. That guy is adorable! I think I shall play it again while I visit your other bloggy friends you awarded.
Have the lovelyiest of weekends Lin!
xo Catherine
Well thanks so much! Ya know I love your blog too! I don't own sweat pants either...going to say I am going to have to be at least 90 before I do,lol!
You're so cool!
I don't know about anyone else but I think yoga pants are a perfectly acceptable substitute for sweat pants and if they don't agree well then #%#@$@$ them...lol (I seriously didn't mean that but now that I know you talk the same language I do I just had to say it)
It's okay about the fizzy hiccup as long as we have the mint thing - whew - at least its not me
no worries about the book mark :)
Tracy
Melodie--I just don't find them flattering, I guess. And to wear them in public???! GAsp!
Betty--Betty, you need to raise your standards a bit. ;)
Ann--Oh, Ann, it's bad. I cuss like a sailor. But it's funny--I don't on my blog. Isn't that weird??!
Tracy--I'm trying to figure it out! I'm not good at the PSE handbook, but I'm working on it. You ARE getting a bookmark, dammit!!! Even if it kills me in the process!
LOL! HA HA HA HA... you got an award and had to post it! :-P
That's fabulous re: no sweat pants! Rock on, girl!
Sneezing at the first bite of a mint? That's funny and cute! Think I'll send you some peppermint patties. ROFL. Be sure to take a video!
I know how to drive a stick shift too! I sometimes curse like a truck driver, but the best part is I know how to drive an 18 wheeler.
I've never heard that song and don't know this guy, but it sure was cool. Wish I could make videos like that.
Love this post.
Lin, how nice of you to dedicate that video to me!! You are soooo funny!!!! ;)
Petula--I guess if we ever leave the rails, we can both drive a truck to our next destination as hobos! ;) Glad we got that and cussin' in common, pally.
A.Marie--I like the message of the song, pally. I thought it appropriate for your situation this week. ;)
You don't have a pair of sweat pants? Not one? None at all? :0 Wow. Actually, I didn't either, until after I had kids. Then, they were required.:-p
Oh gee, you cuss! I'd never know it from your blog. Well, you might like some of those mugs and t-shirts I saw at CafePress then, lol.
That's also pretty amazing about the mint. It must tickle your nose.
You are definitely a versatile blogger- you can transition from frogs to college to Disney World all in one blow!
Have a good week.
WTH, why does mint make you sneeze? The sun makes me sneeze, both of my kids sneeze from it too. What is this song? I'm listening to it but not sure I dig it. Sorry.
Congrats on the award. I'm glad to have met another potty mouthed motherfucker like myself.
