recognition wednesday

The blogosphere is swimming with awards.  Don't worry, you won't be seeing any of those annoying awards cluttering up this site.
However, I'd like to pass out my own tacky Your Comments Keep Me Afloat awards.
For the folk who have waded through my blog posts.  For the folk who have thrown me a life vest.  For those who've made encouraging comments and kept my head above water.


For TJ at Any Given Moment.  TJ is a highly creative 'mommy' blogger living in the Northeast.  I enjoy reading about her family, her healthy recipes and lifestyle, and the occasional bear rambling through her yard.  TJ....thanks for swimming along side.  You keep me afloat!******ovation********

For Margaret at Nanny Goats in Panties.  The blog for goat-idolators.  Count me among 'em.  Margaret spotlights the goat antics our mainstream media chooses to ignore.  Her lastest soapbox is ANTI self-deprecation.  Interested?  Check it out.  Thanks, Margaret for dipping your toe in my lake.  Here is your refreshing reward*******cat-calls, whistles*******

There's been a new commenter spicing up On a chicken wing..... It's Shrinky from Shrink Wrapped Scream. She lives 'across the pond' and her take on the world is decidedly British. And twisted. And side-splitting, touching and provocative all at the same time. I love Shrink Wrapped Scream-I know, I've been needing psychiatric care for some time now. Thanks for stopping by my wading pool and leaving your comments. Here's your award, Shrinky*******thunderous applause********

For my brother, S....who lives in Brazil. Apparently, he has nothing better to do than read this blog and leave encouraging comments. Thanks for airing up my inner tube, S! Here's your award*******polite applause*********


To all award winners:  sorry I don't know how to make one of those cute little 'button-thingys'.  My goggles were leaking water and this was the only thing I was able to produce**sigh**.  I promise to improve my swimming skills.
Hoping you always possess a Coast Guard approved flotation device.
