Zombie Chickens have pooped in my Trophy Cabinet

Quick awards post while the monster is asleep (my total number hours of shut-eye last night… TWO! Joy!), then I promise I’ll be back with something more juicy later.

I’m starting to love these little badge awards thingys. Is it sad that they totally make my day?

Anyway. First off is a ‘Lovely Blog Award’ from the equally lovely Ruth over at Look Left of the Pleiades (although I have to be honest and say the cup full of pretty pink rose petals did make me throw up in my mouth a little bit). Thank you my favourite feminist typist. I am seriously coveting your turquoise and black stripy socks right now.

I am told this is an award for new blogs or blogs you have just discovered. So here’s who I’m passing it on to:

Firstly, OF COURSE! is my very special friend Emma of at Not Such A Yummy Mummy who has just started blogging and is now starting to make me regret introducing her to it all because she’d just that damned good. (And yes – she’s a REAL LIFE friend!!! See? I do have some! And I can testify that she is, in fact, a very yummy mummy no matter what she says).

The other is Kat over at Slugs on the Refrigerator, whose very brilliant blog I have just started reading. She says lovely affirming things about forgiving yourself for being imperfect and that creativity is WAY more important than housework (and if you haven’t read her post on creativity then you MUST – right now!). Oh, and she knits! I’m sold… 

 

My other award is probably going to go down as the greatest blog award in the history of time. Even if I blog for another 20 years I don’t think I’ll ever get another one quite so cool.

It’s the Zombie Chicken Award.

And was awarded by the wonderful Emily ‘Woah that’s a big one! Let’s take a photo of it!’ Bassin at Maternal Tales From The South Coast.

It is explained as follows:

“The blogger who receives this award believes in the Tao of the zombie chicken – excellence, grace and persistence in all situations, even in the midst of a zombie apocalypse. These amazing bloggers regularly produce content so remarkable that their readers would brave a raving pack of zombie chickens just to be able to read their inspiring words. As a recipient of this world-renowned award, you now have the task of passing it on to at least 5 other worthy bloggers. Do not risk the wrath of the zombie chickens by choosing unwisely or not choosing at all.”

Awesome.

So in the same spirit of Zombie Chicken Excellence I hereby pass this award-of-all-awards to the following five people:

The NDM at Not Drowning, Mothering. Of course – this award could have been written for you. I can’t think of a more a more worthy recipient. Now come and accept it graciously and no farting till you have left the stage area please.

Rebecca Weston-Super-Mum?(survey says… YES!) for accidentally eating something that was NOT Tesco Value Mousse and living to tell (and blog!) the tale. There but for the grace of god go I (I have a habit of sniffing things that look like, but are in fact not, chocolate – the tasting is only a matter of time).

Hazel Hot Cross Mum because her brilliant ‘Eliza Plum – Credit Crunch Mum’ was the best thing I’ve read in ages AND because she’s not letting her kids watch any TV for an entire week! Is she mad?! Or just very, very brave. Who knows (and no, I’m not following suit. When would I eat?!)

Amber at Strocel.com because her blog never fails to make the world seem a little sunnier and brighter and because she is my fellow adventurer in the whole ‘living your dreams’ writing bungee-jump I seem to have embarked on lately.

And last but not least, the fabulous Insomniac Mummy. Because she only had a baby 15 weeks ago and yet still manages to blog brilliantly and talk in whole sentences. She is my hero.

There you go! Congrats! x
