I guess I'm not really that worried. After all, this is my favorite part of my day - to see what's up in Englad at Joey's, in Oklahoma at Annie's and in Alabama at Grammie's. Then there's Fireblossom, Scarlet and Darth Weasel, Rich in Boston and Whitemist in Connecticut. It begs to wonder - how did I find all these people that I consider friends?
I started writing with nobody watching except my best friend Riot Kitty. I wandered through her blog and looked at her friend's blogs to see who I might like to read occasionally. Then it expanded as I have added friends of friends and other random people who've stopped by my blog. I can probably thank G-Man and his Friday Flash 55 Fiction for the most new views and comments. Thanks! Oh, and just for fun, here's a little brainworm that reminds me of the whole process...
I watch all of these people on a regular basis, I have ended up with favorites that they wrote. I've always wanted to make up a blog award that shows them just how much these posts mean to me and to let them know I'm a frequent visitor and big fan.
Introducing... (drumroll please...)
Now, I can recognize all of these great people and their wonderful stories and they'll know they are appreciated by the queen of the pop tarts (Me) and will have another tasty award to add to their full cabinets of recognition.
Are you ready for the list of winners? (In alphabetical order so I don't get too harassed for putting someone else first. Sheesh, guys!) The envelope please...

RRRabies

ReplyDeletePop tarts are tasty!!!
Mike
You are the coolest! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI love the Pop Tart award concept! What a great way for me to get to know new bloggers by clicking your links! I will be honored to bestow the Pop Tart Award on others.
ReplyDeletePop Tarts are even better than eating White Fluffy Frosted Lucky Charms with marshmallow pots of gold, horseshoes, red balloons, stars, clovers, hearts, rainbows and moons.
Thank you!
Awwww...you are so sweet PG and you know what? Blogging is the best way to embrace frendship :D
ReplyDeleteThanks for a wonderful journey with me too :D
Why thank you, thank you. I had a speech all prepared, but when I was warming up the pop tart I got hungry and ate it, so these comments will have to suffice. I would like to thank my mother and father, the Academy, the good folks at whoever makes Pop Tarts, and of course, P.Girl for this acknowledgment of my awesomeness.
ReplyDeletePS Mr RK says thanks. He was apparently too lazy to come leave a comment!
ReplyDeleteI think your posts are just fabulous, come join my lil blog anytime! P.S Gotta love that damn Riot Kitty! She and a few others on your list are loyal readers and I appreciate them all!
ReplyDeleteI have been totally discombobulated. Thank you for the pop tart award. I've thanked you for my monkeys but I failed to thank you for the magnet and for this award. I actually did not become aware of it until other winners began to appear on my door step. You have been so good to me lately that I cannot keep up with kindnesses but I am planning a reverse bestowing (assuming I return to planet earth soon.)
ReplyDeleteAw, thanks....
