Life

Life can be a thankless task at times, especially when you're a girl. Yes, I am ranting a little bit here. We're expected to be protective and sweet and soft, and tough and diverse and interesting and innocent and experienced and all the rest. And no one ever says thanks!



Obviously I am now generalising and playing a game of "Oh....me!"

Mainly I'm annoyed because I made a whole tray of savoury doughnuts (yes - MADE) and no one even said thank you. In case you didn't see that, yes, I MADE them! Ok, well they weren't really doughnuts. More like savoury waffles with some cheese on them. But they took EFFORT dammit. And time.

Bastards.

But then, just occasionally someone comes along and makes your day by letting you know that they think you are worthwhile. Today, that person is Tammy, on http://midlandsmadness.blogspot.com/. She let me know that she thinks my blog is worth a little non-pecuniary award, and that there are people out there reading it. Thanks, tammy!

There are a few rules to be followed when accepting the award:


First, thank the blog that sent it our way (even if that wasn't a rule, it's just common courtesy, people).

Next, share seven things about yourself:


1) I own a shower cap.

2) I have never time travelled.

3) Certain people think I am a prophet. They are wrong.

4) If you count my basketball achievements, you can count them all on the fingers of one toe.

5) Fat people scare me. Asians sometimes too.

6) I know a lot more about computers than you think.

7) I cannot spell the word 'Hemorrhage' out of my head.


And last but by no means least, pass the award on to five blogs you've recently discovered and found deserving of this award. In no particular order:


1) Hyperbole and a half

2) Plan B

3) Baglett

4) Gys Hough

5) Skinny on my Jeans



So here you are fellow bloggers - your award. Ain't it purdy?
