I would like to thank 3teensmom who was gracious enough to nominate sarahjane for the One Lovely Blog Award. As of this morning, my soapbox has been on the virtual courtsquare corner for a little over 5 months and has amassed 100 followers. I have absolutely no clue how that happened. Sarahjane was started as a place to holler about the things I can’t discuss with (or even in front of) friends and family. This is a place where I can be as ME as I choose to be, and as a result, those who read my posts know me far better than those who have known me my entire life. Funny, that. I expected to have an occasional visitor and perhaps a comment or two, with the occasional flaming over my opinions. I did NOT expect to gather any significant number of regular followers or readers, so I wanted to thank you all very much. Validation comes in many forms, and I am endlessly tickled, touched, and flattered that any of you find my contributions here of interest.

The rules for this Award are as follows:

As for the 7 things about myself (that have not already been posted):
- I used to own a White’s tree frog named Big Momma.
- I prowl my house in the wee hours of the morning because it is the only time it is quiet, so that is my ‘me’ time.
- For some reason, over half the people I meet for the first time call me Anne instead of Suzanne.
- My husband & I met on E-Harmony.
- I have a pet squirrel in my back yard named Fat Bastard, or F.B. for short.
- I could eat Mexican every day and never get tired of it. I also put avocados in all my salads.
- When I was younger, I was sure that the people in the portraits on our walls could see me. I have yet to obtain positive proof they do not.
Congratulations to you and thank you so much for the nomination!!!
I loved your list, especially 5 & 6! There is no “bad” Mexican food in my world either!
Congrats! It is well deserved
Congratulations

Oh blimey! Thanks for the nomination. Now all I have to do is narrow down to a top-15 list of blogs. Might take a while…
Oops! So rude of me! Congratulations on the award. I really should have said that the first time. Sorry.
Congrats on the praise… Well-deserved!
Woo hoo! Thanks for thinking of me, and I welcome visitors!
Thanks so much for the award and congratulations to you!
I recognize some of the names and will enjoy clicking on the other links!
Sarah Jane,
I love awards… Especially when they are given to others! Congrats on the nomination, of course! And as I am such a benevolent soul, I want to grant you with another award myself, the Alan Smithee Blog award. There’s a twist to it, though: you don’t have to do a single thing in order to make it yours. I know, right? http://clownonfire.wordpress.com/the-awards-circus/alan-smithee/

Why, thank you, not only is it an awesome award but it also matches my drapes!
Thanks for including me as well! Honestly, I’m really bad at following blogs, so I might not get 15 (especially since you invited me, I can’t include you, else I would!). Either way, your blog is awesome. Keep it up.
As is yours!
thank you very much for including me with such special people. however, i can’t pass along the award because i have this phobia that i’m going to insult the people to whom i don’t include. thank you again, and thanks for reading.
Rich,
Ha!

I had much the same problem this morning trying to pick just a few out of such a huge pool of talent!
