a Lovely Blog Award

Paula recently bequeathed me with one Lovely Blog Award.  

Now, beautiful Plonkers I'm not sure so that I have a "lovely" blog, but I was so dead chuffed that someone else thought so.  Thank you to Paula.  You're dead sweet.

Paula is the ultimate Blog Challenge lass.  If there is a blog challenge happening in Bloggerville, she'll know about it and she'll be rockin' it.  I did the July Blog Challenge with her and got to know her a lot better.  I really don't know how she does all these challenges back-to-back like she does.  She is the blog Challenge Queen!

You rock my face off, Paula.

This is how it works :

1. Add the “One Lovely Blog Award” image to your post

2. Share seven things about you

3. Pass the award on to seven nominees

4. Thank the person who nominated you and add a short blurb about them.

5. Inform the nominees by posting on their blogs

My Seven Things:

• I adore high heel shoes, but I have the ugliest feet evar!
• I used to cut my eyelashes when I was at school because my eyelashes were so long that it was the only way I'd get away with wearing mascara at school without being busted.  
• I detest ironing and will avoid it at ALL costs.
• I adore watching talent shows like Britain and America's Got Talent and X Factor.
• We camped in our living room this weekend.
• Snakes give me the jeebie weebies.
• I love being Ginger. I never always appreciated being a red head but I've come to love my gingerness.  Red hair don't care.

Now on to the good bit.

The people that I hand the award on to are:

Jillie Side Up

Can We Have a New Witch ours Melted 

Catch my Words

I Shoulda Been a Stripper

It's Rhyme Time

Crivens Jings and Help Ma Boab

Because they have brilliant blogs.

Go Vote *Shameless Plugging*

So without much further ado Laura presents the 2012 Mommy Blogger Awards.


How it will work

You, as the reader, nominate a Mom Blogger by sending an email to Laura on why you feel I deserves to win. She doesn't really want an essay – just a few lines on why you enjoy my blog, what makes me unique or special to you etc.  Laura will then narrow it down to 5 finalists – her decision will not be based on who got the most nominations but rather what was said about them.   Once she has 5 finalists we will then put it to a vote and a winner will be chosen.  We will take nominations until the 10 August.

The finalists will be announced on the 13 August when voting opens and it will stay open until Friday the 17th August.

There will be a winner plus 2 “runners up”

Loads of Prizes for the winner

Rules
The nominated blogger must be a mom.
She must blog at least twice a week.
She must be South African.
The blog must be a personal blog.

You can send all your nominations to laurakallmayer@gmail.com.

Go Do it!

Sunshine Award

Thank you to Reflectionsofthe, a fellow South African blogger for givin me the Sunshine Blogger Award. This award is given to blogs which "contribute to the blogging community in a positive or inspirational way".

Well, Plonkers, you can fuck me dead if I have inspired someone through this wee bloggy of mine.  Usually my blog is just a place to come when you want a smile or a laugh.  Not inspiration but I'll take what I can get.


Now, those receiving the Sunshine Award are asked to:


Answer ten questions about yourself.

Pass the award on to 10 bloggers you enjoy, link to their blogs, and let them know you nominated them.


So here are my answers to the 10 questions:

Favourite Colour : Orange! Orange and Orange. Anything Orange.

Favorite animal : Butterfly. They are colourful, graceful, fragile and free.

Favorite number : 69

Favorite drink : Black tea or diet Coke.  Oh Fuck, did you mean alcohol?

Favorite website: Google, without google I would be one very unhappy lass. I am having a secret affair with Google - every day.

Passions: Music, pretty Shoes, Chocolate and Jack White

Prefer getting or giving presents: I love giving presents and I usually put quite a bit of thought and effort into my giving. I believe that its not a gift if its not something you want. I kinda get disappointed when others don't have the same enthusiasm, when I get presents.

Favorite pattern:  Tartan, of course. Black Watch to be specific.

Favorite day of the week: Friday! Weekend officially starts!
Friday's rock my fucking face off.

Favorite flower: Tulips or Lillies or Barberton Daisies. Depends on my mood.

Here is my pick for the ten nominees of this award. This blog award honors these brilliant, bold and wickedly funny bloggers.

NOT WORTH MENTIONING

Rockin' Mama

Mother-Effer

Thanx again for the Blog Award.

Curmudgeon's Blog Award

Recent I received another Blog award from the side-splittingly funny The Curmudgeon's Complaint

The Rules Are:

1. You must post the rules.
2. Post eleven fun facts about yourself on the blog post.
3. Answer the questions the tagger set for you in their post, and then create eleven new questions to ask the people you've tagged.
4. Tag eleven bloggers, however, you can break the rules and tag fewer people if you want. Make sure you hyperlink their names/blogs.
5. Let them know you've tagged them!
6. Have fun!
The Questions that were Tagged for me.

1. Why is your favorite colour?
Orange.  I love anything orange.

2. Do you prefer dogs or cats or do you just hate animals, and want to kill baby seals?
I love dogs and cats, keep the baby seals but VERMIN is another fucking story.

3. How much time do you spend on the computer?
All my work is computerised and I'm a daily blogger, so I spend loads of time of my computer.  Sometimes too much time.  No wonder I'm legally blind.

4. Not including porn, what do you do on the computer?
Blog, Vlog, Pin, Tweet, YouTube, Write, work. Enuff?

5. Are you a clock watcher? Bonus question: Other than me, who would ask such a question?  At work I have to watch the clock because my To Do List needs planning and organisation so at work, definintely yes.  At home not really.

6. What do you look for in a partner?
Someone who's as daft as I am.  I couldn't be with someone who didn't make me laugh and who didn't do things that are completely whack and unpredictable.  Oh, and a tight arse and above average addendum helps when the sense of humour is lacking.

7. What type of clothing do you prefer?
Preferably washed and Ironed.  I have different styles for different activities.  For work its heels and office wear.  I love bright colours so for gym its loud t-shirts with offensive slogans.  For weekends it's jeans, t-shirts, crochless knickers and flip flops.

8. What is your favorite type of music?
Rock, Blues, Classical, Alternative Rock.  Music is big in my life, my iPod is filled with different types of music and I listen according to my mood.  Jack White is my musicial lurve.

9. Do you believe in the paranormal, Ghosts, ESP, levitation, spoon bending? 
Yes I do.

10. The most important question: Do you have a inie or outie belly button?
When I was younger it was an outie but now I have an innie, innit?

11. What kind of car do you drive?
I drive an electric orange Ford Focus ST 2.5l turbo charged beast with plenty mods and Dreamsciene.  Can you say VROOM?

Here's are my question to you tagged bloggers:

1. Do you pick yer nose?  If so, are you a flicker or roller?
2. Pen or Pencil and why.
3. What is your favourite Disney character and why?
4.  Why do you “put your two cents in” when it is only “a penny for your thoughts”? What happens to the other penny?
5.  What do you prefer Brains or Boobs?
6.  What was the best thing before sliced bread?
7.  What is the worst pick up line someone has used on you?
8.  If you won the lottery what is the first thing you'd do?
9.  If you could give new parents ONE piece of advice, what would you tell them?
10. Chocolate or Vanilla
11.  What is the one stereotype about redheads that you think is true?

Blog Award and Happy Oscar Day!

A big huge thanxaroonie to Emmie Mears who gave me a Blog Award. 

Awww Shucks, now you've made me blush. Thanx for the shout out and now for me to break all the rules (as I usually do)

The rules for this bad boy are to share ten things about yourself, and then pass it on to six bloggers.  I really don't consider myself Kreativ or creative at all.  In fact I am soopa envious of all these crafty creative bloggers that make windchimes out of toilet roll holders and a splodge of paint.  I'm in awe of them.

So here is 5 random facts about me

1.  I am a nail biter but I haven't chewed for weeks and I actually have nails now.
2. I often get the urge to write but I'm too impatient to wait until the ideas start flowing.
3. There are only two industries that refer to their customers as "users".  Bullshit or Bullfact?
4. My favourite swear word?  Fuck.  Fuck.  Fuck and FuckKnob.
5.  I'd like to leave you with something positive, but I can't think of anything positive to say.  Would yo take two negatives?

I only thought up 5 instead of 10, but rules are meant to be broken right?

Now I'm passing it on to 5 other awesome Blogtistas.
