My bitter disappointment (ooh . . . look who is being dramatic) over not winning the writing contest (see previous post) was pacified when two guardian angels swooped down and handed me the ABC (Awesome Blog Content) Award. What a lovely consolation price. Don’t you just love it when guardian angels are all swoopy-?
My angels, Corey at Corey M.P. and Ms. Katykins at Come and Check This Out are delightful and I owe them a debt of gratitude.
The award asks the recipient to name 26 alphabetical things about themselves and then nominate other bloggers. Here we go!
Me from A to Z
A = Adaptable (I was tempted to say “Adorable” but decided I should remain humble lest you un-follow and delete me.)
B = Blonde (At least I used to be.)
C = Cheerleader-to-all (You guys rock!)
D = Dedicated (And Determined.)
E = Efficient (I am the Tasmanian Devil of the To-Do list.)
F = Feeding people (Come over for dinner!)
G = Germy (I have a cold . . . sniff.)
H = Humble (See Letter A above.)
I = Interesting (At least I strive to be.)
J = Joyful (Yup.)
K = Kind (Yup.)
L = Loving (Except when my mother-bear comes out.)
M = Mom (Three beautiful daughters.)
N = Nature-lover (Give me the mountains and I am happy.)
O = Organized (My husband and kids think I am the Google Maps app for locating everything in our house.)
P = Planner (I am in my element when I have something to plan.)
Q = Queen (Oops. Make that Quaint.)
R = Reader (But not enough time.)
S = Sensible (Except for when it comes to shoes. I love a good pair of uncomfortable heels.)
T = Tenacious (Watch out when I latch on to a project.)
U = Unique (Don’t read that as weird please.)
V = Virtuous (I don’t know any other way to operate.)
W = Writer (My kids would have said “Worrier.”)
X = X-Ray-able (Sorry.)
Y = Yacky (Love a good conversation.)
Z = Zippy (Well, that sums it all up.)
And the nominees are . . .
Hover Craft Doggie is a treat for the eye. They are architects and post one stunning photo with a pithy title that draws you into their blog.
Dodging Commas is always fun and thought provoking.
Lime Is Better makes me want to be a part of their blog so I can ask, “Better than what?”
Sadie and Daisie posts three themed-photos and I am moved to comment every time they post.
Blurt is an irreverent and amusing blogger and takes me by surprise. Ask him about his job.
Ella Dee is a sweetheart and everyone should read her blog.
Wanderlust Gene shares insight, humor, and lovely photos from far away lands.
Thank you again for the ego-boosting award Corey and Katykins . . . aka my angels.
Robin Coyle 
Robin, thank you so much for the nomination. I look forward to accepting but more so to adding my fellow nominees to the blogs I follow, and recommending a few more of my own. 🙂 EllaDee
I look forward to seeing your list. Such a cool way to find out about other good blogs.
Congratulations, I think they chose well
You are so kind!
I am x-rayable too!
Thanks so much for thinking of me. I’ve still got so much to learn about what I’m doing with words. It is a treat to hear that you like it enough to tell people!
Thank you!
It was my pleasure to nominate you!
Congrats! And I enjoyed the A-Z round up there; all the way through I kept wondering what you would have for X! The choices are pretty limited there, hehe.
Since I don’t play the xylophone, I had to go with the x-ray thing. Glad you like my A to Z!
Congratulations! Youo deserve every award you get, and then some!
Thanks Sweetie!
. 😎
Contratulations, Robin.
Thanks Tess!
A very well deservied award! I’m glad you found my blog so I could find my way to yours. 🙂
Well thanks so much! Yes, I too am glad we found each other.
Congratulations!
You did a great job in accepting your reward.
Thanks! It was pretty fun to do.
I’m going to do it tomorrow (if I can figure out how) new blogger here…
Wish me luck!
If you need help, email me. I’m no expert but . . .
Thanks…I may take you up on that!
Agreed – some fabulous answers! Loving your blog, Robin – you totally deserve this awardx2! 🙂
Thanks Darlin’ . . . you are too kind.
I’m doing mine today Kate… 😀
🙂 I loved your responses, so cool! 🙂
Robin, that sucks about the writing comp… but, as my mother would say, what’s for you, won’t go by you! 🙂
I think I love your mother.
Hee hee hee! She has her moments! 🙂
I love that… what’s for you, won’t go by you!
Yup. I’m gonna use it.
congrats, I would have said awesome though 🙂
Why thank you. Believe me, I considered saying “awesome” but I didn’t want to send readers away in droves.
lol self confidence is always a good thing 🙂
Now my eyes aren’t stinging so much, and I can see to read, I’m even more flattered. Thank you, once again, Robin. I shall immediately go to meet my fellow nominees and give my subconscious time to come up with an alphabet of attributes. Life is full of challenges, even in accepting awards, and the kindness of strangers:)
S is for Sweet as You Can Be. Feel free to use it in your acceptance speech.
Oh thank goodness, one down!
Or it could be “Special.” You pick.
Now you’re getting silly….
Nope.
I don’t think I remember sweet ever being said in conjunction with Meredith:)
Who is Meredith? You?
Oui, moi
That is the name of the main character in my book!
Knowing you for over 30 years, you were right on all counts!
I thought might be pushing it with “Zippy.” A tad slow these days. Thanks Whammy.
Google location app. I love it. Congrats and much deserved. 🙂
Where’s my homework? Where are my soccer cleats? Where is last year’s tax return? And on and on an on. Google Maps should hire me as a consultant.
Nothing wrong with claiming the title of queen. I do so in my family. 🙂
From now on I shall refer to you as Queen Carrie, or Your Majesty. Which do you prefer?
Oh, I tell my boys and my husband that either is fine. But lucky for you, I only require them to refer to me that way. 🙂
