My friend Bluesleepy gave me the Premios Dardos award on her blog! Premio Dardos means “prize darts” in Italian and is awarded for recognition of cultural, ethical, literary and personal values in the form of creative and original writing. The rules are as follows:
1. Accept the award by pasting the graphic on your blog along with the name of the person who granted the award and a link to his/her blog.
2. Pass the award to up to 15 blogs that are worthy of acknowledgment, remembering to contact each blogger so they know they have been selected.
OK, I'll pass this happily along to several of my favorites.
1. I'll Tell You What It Shwas. Suzi is the mother and mentor of my blog, and she does daily life with flair, humor and finesse. She also makes up words that totally should be in the language. Firstively, indeed!
2. Les Becker. You will not find a better storyteller ANYWHERE.
3. Cardiogirl. She's funny, she's irreverent, she's insightful and the writing on her blog snaps and crackles - like raw electricity, not rice krispies. Okay, only like rice krispies if she WANTS it to.
4. Project Subrosa. I've loved Cate's writing since the GS days, and now that she's all married and out in the open and posting pictures and all, the story just gets richer and more wonderful.
5. The Junk Drawer. Kathy keeps her readers in stitches over the mundane and the ridiculous -- for example, she does reports about the plastic bag caught in a tree near her office, tenderly named Windy. Go. Read. Laugh!
Well, to be honest, all those blogs down there and to the right, the ones I hang out with and keep up with on a regular basis, are totally worthy of this award. I'm just too elderly and full of homemade meatballs and spaghetti (I'd thought about making them all week, and there's several more meals YUM) to type and link any more. My winners and I'm sticking to 'em!
