So that's why it was so nice to find out I had been given two blogging awards. At least someone out there appreciates me for more than my driving skills :)
Not long ago, Leah from The Octogon gave me the sweetest award: the Lemonade Stand Award, an award for bloggers who show “attitude and gratitude." Maybe it's also because when life gives me lemons, I make lemonade. Yum! Lemonade with vodka and fresh mint is particularly nice this time of year...
So thank you, Leah. I love my award.
And now, according to the rules, I need to pass it along to other bloggers. Really, all my blogging friends deserve an award. But I will choose some of my favorite bloggers with attitude:
J.S. Peyton at Biblioaddict
Florinda at 3 R's: Reading, 'Riting and Randomness
Matt at A Guy's Moleskine Notebook
Jill at Fizzy Thoughts
Wendy at Musings of a Bookish Kitty
Bybee at Naked Without Books!
The smile had not even faded from receiving the Lemonade Award, when I found I'd won another award from another lovely blogger. J.S. Peyton, my Biblioaddict blogging friend, gave me this Literary Blogger Award:
The acceptance rules are:
1. Put the logo on your blog/post.
2. Nominate up to 9 blogs that make you feel comfy or warm inside.
3. Be sure to link to your nominees within your post.
4. Let them know by commenting on their blog.
5. Remember to link to the person from whom you received your award.
Okay, I can do that. I nominate some fabulous bloggers who always make me feel comfy and warm:
Ti at Book Chatter
Bookfool at Bookfoolery and Babble
Jeane at Dog Ear Diary
Iliana at Bookgirl's Nightstand
Amy at My Friend Amy
You know, any of you that I visit regularly deserves an award, so consider yourself awarded! You're all wonderful, and I am thankful to have made your blogging acquaintance.

First off, you made me drool over the mere mention of your lemonade, mint and vodka concoction. Yum!!
You are so sweet. You totally deserve these awards and it's so kind of you to pass one on to me as well. Thank you!
Oh yeah, I've got attitude...just ask my mom!
Thanks for the award...especially since, like you, I've disappeared for a bit.
And congratulations on your own well-deserved awards!! We all should celebrate with those drinks you mentioned.
Thank you so much! You've made my day. :-) I can see why you were given each of these awards. They are well deserved.
You thoroughly deserve your awards, Gentle Reader! And thank you for flagging up some wonderful book sites - lots here that I haven't visited yet!
Thank you!! I wasn't expecting this at all. You've got an awesome blog- sorry I don't comment as often as I should.
Thank you so much! I'll pass on the good karma, and celebrate with some lemonade. :)
Ti--You deserve it! And those drinks are yummy--we'll have to get the FOB crew together for some over the summer :)
Jill--yes, let's celebrate with drinks! You deserve it!
Wendy--aww, glad I made your day! You deserve it :)
litlove--Ooh, I love finding new book blogs, and I love leading others there--I'm sure you'll enjoy some of these!
Jeane--Love your blog, you deserve it! And I don't comment enough, either--so hard to keep up with everyone's great work :)
matt--I'll hoist a virtual lemonade with you--you deserve it!
That lemonade sounds delicious - and yes, we should get the FOB crew back together this summer! On that note...will you be going to David Ebershoff's reading/signing for The 19th Wife at Vroman's in Pasadena on June 22? I'm planning to go, Amy says she's going, and Lisa will go if she can. It would be great to see you there too!
And thank you so much for the award - this is the "gratitude" part :-).
Florinda--I'm hoping to go to Vroman's for the reading and signing. We leave town the next day, so if I can get my packing done, I'm planning to be there! I'd love to see all of you there. If I don't make it, we'll make another plan. You're welcome for the award--you deserve it :)
Congratulations on your awards and thank you so much for sharing the blog love :)
What a pretty pic for the literary blogger award. Looks so serene :)
Iliana--You're welcome, you deserve it. And I agree that the picture is pretty and serene :)
I have never had lemonade with vodka, but that sounds absolutely great. Note to self: try that VERY soon!
Thank you for the award (three days later..)!! I really appreciate it. Especially from an awesome blogger with attitude. Even when she's moonlighting as a chauffeur. =)
Thank you so much and I'll have that drink now! Ummm, refreshing, thanks!
J.S.--it's a great summer drink, don't forget the mint. And thank you for the award, too! I appreciate it :)
Bybee--Imagine I'm handing you that lemonade, vodka and fresh mint, over ice--ahh! Cheers!
Thank you, Gentle Reader!!
Bookfool--you are most welcome!
