This week I was given an award by a fellow blogger. I am always in two minds about blogger awards. That’s not to say I don’t appreciate them in any way though. It is always nice to be recognized by your fellow peers as someone they appreciate reading and also as a blogger they feel worthy of recommending to others.
My friend Phil from The Regular Guy NYC – and yes I have called him a friend even though I have never met him. The reason for considering him a friend is that he has always been a faithful follower and commentator on my blog. I remember the first time I commented on his blog and looking back on it now he must have thought I was one weird chick. Anyway – he has stuck by me through most of my blogging life – even when words escaped me and I’ve had nothing to say. He has always been one of the reasons I keep blogging. And let’s not forget that besides the subtle sexy messages he leaves on my comments, he always leaves me salivating when I read his blog.
Anyway ….. as I was saying before I digressed – My friend Phil regularly promotes my blog – via his blog or more commonly via Twitter for which I am truly grateful – so I wanted to take this opportunity to say a big Thank You Phil for making me feel special.
Then just when I thought sharing the love couldn’t get any better than this, on Monday I received the following tweet:
And of course it was followed by his post “I’m just a freaking Ray of Sunshine award aren’t I?
It made my week a little more special and motivated me to keep blogging. For those of you who are not bloggers – it is seriously hard work and very time consuming. Once you start blogging, you start seeing the world through a different set of eyes – you no longer do things because they are fun, you do things as they provide you with blogging material. Something my family now jokes about on a regular basis with me. Whenever I am reluctant to do anything, my sons are quick to blurt out “Just think of what you are going to blog about it” . On the down side, my sons have also been on the receiving side and been the brunt of many of my posts – so they tend to watch what they say or do in front of me nowadays.
So just like any other blogger awards, I have to fulful certain things as part of my acceptance as follows:
Thank the person who gave you the award
So THANK YOU Phil – here’s a little something I thought you would like in return (Wasn’t sure f you were a boobs or a bum type of guy so went with bum – I kept it tasteful as well)
Include the badge of the award in your post: (Beautiful isn’t it)
I have to tell you 7 things about me – this is a little more complicated than it sounds as I am a complicated person so here goes with a few uncomplicated things:
- I love meeting new people and adding to my social circles
- I love a challenge – please don’t ever say – “So here’s a challenge for you …” as I will be tempted to take you up on it.
- I have some secret fetishes – yeah, not gonna list them here
- I am generally a quiet person – I like to observe people rather than being the center of attraction.
- I love travelling – something I don’t get to do much of nowadays
- I can very very sarcastic – and I can be very subtle about it
- My favorite way to relax is in a nice warm bath with a glass of wine
Then I have to select 10 of my favorite bloggers, or someone I really want to piss off and link their blogs to my post and let them know they have been awarded the Sunshine Award! And as Phil says – “The love you receive back will be tremendous, or the deafening silence will tell you how pissed off they are at you.” So here’s my list (hope I can come up with a list of 10)
Joeh over at Cranky Old Man – And boy am I going to get in the neck for giving him this award – I know he hates these things. (Sorry Mrs Cranks if I put him in a bad mood). I have had him on my blog roll for a long time and love his sense of humor. He has also written a few books, none of which I have read I’m ashamed to say. (Wish I had the time)
Marcia at Menopausal Mother – My dearest friend. She has been my savior though thick and thin in my life. Love you Marcia!
Holli over at Holli’s Hoots and Hollers – we share a passion for Harley’s. She also recently got married to her soul mate.
Beth from Writer B is Me. She is a new blogger I am following.
Jules from A Beautiful Day – Also a new blogger friend and we have had some interesting conversations via email and FB – It’s been great getting to know you Jules!
There are others I would have liked to include here but have also received this award from Phil as well – these include:
Kitt over the The Inner Wildcat – She too writes on the risque side of things and I love her blog and her take on life.
And of course my fellow partner in crime who I write for as well – Matt over at Ramblings of a Semi-Mad Man. Who knew I’d enjoy writing for a Man Cave type blog.
That’s all the love I am sharing today.
Hope you all have a fabulous weekend xxxx
Not cranky at all, I am in fact an award whore. Thank you very much, and I will check out all of my fellow awardees, and pass this along to a few more.
I am honoured. Haven't had one of these for a while. I might try and think of something interesting I can do with it (so don't hold out for seven dull facts about me, you know I like to muck about with these things)
Better think of a new guest post for you soon too.
You award whore you! Was going to drop you a note about it but was called into work unexpectedly.
Hey there Dale – Am dying to see what you come up with.
Looking forward to another juicy guest post too
Aw, I'm seriously so honored and grateful! Thank you! You're so right when you say blogging is time consuming and a surprising amount of work, but like I said in my post today, also the most supportive, incredible tribe of people I've ever been a part of. XOXO
Great job on the award. This actually reminded me that Holtberg gave me a Liebster award sometime back and I have yet to take action on that. So much to do, so little time in life. Clones, that is what I require. Great to “meet” you, I'll be dropping a follow your way on twitter and hope to connect! Take care!
Aww, Thanks for the mention, Lanthie! You're such a sweetheart. Love that we have the whole racy thing in common!
Congrats Lanthie. You truly deserve this award and yes, blogging is more than hard work on the best of days and unless you are a blogger it's hard to explain to people how much time and effort goes into it. Phil is a real good guy and he has me in a tail spin every time I read about all those food places he visits, yum.
You've done a great job on your blog Lanthie, and I enjoy coming round here. Keep it up mate.
I have met some truly amazing people here – and genuine people too so very grateful
Hi Angel and thanks for popping buy. Love to meet new people. Just popped by your blog – will leave a message there if I can
Hi Kitt – Great that we have it in common
Thanks RPD – really appreciate the kind words, You been one of my loyal followers too so really grateful
Congratulations on your award! ♥
Well, I enjoy a ladies bum and boobs so I will take either one!
Was happy to nominate you. I appreciate all the kind words. Enjoy!
Thank you for the nomination sweet friend!! You're a doll and i've enjoyed following your blog always.
Thanks Kathy!
Hi Phil
Thanks again!
Only a pleasure xx
So honored that you gave this to me. You have been such a wonderful friend to me—don't know what I would do without you! I look forward to doing this—thank you for thinking of me! LOVE YOU! XO
The wait is over. Here's the inaugural Tenuous Lynx Award

Thank you so much for the recognition. I haven't been following you long, but I have enjoyed every second of it and will continue to follow religiously. I love the racy and honest nature of you and your blog!!! Sorry I am running behind, but will get a post up about this shortly!
