Catherine, Winner of Everything

It's official. I can no longer call myself The Winner of Nothing. I thought the cow was a big ol' fluke... like when Allan and I call each other at work and we're actually at our desks. But then there was this bit of amazingly good fortune. And NOW the beautiful, wonderful Jennifer has gone and awarded me this here Superior Scribbler Award. Incidently, it was for THE COW post and my personal tribute to You Know Who that won me this honor.

I feel like I'm on Candid Camera or something. Co-workers are telling me to go out and buy Lotto tickets. I'm getting rubbed for luck. LUCK. ME. CATHERINE. Quick, someone check and make sure that the sky isn't falling. Tell me that 2 and 2 still equals 4. Yellow and blue make green, right? Fried pork is deadly in large quantities. And Obama is STILL going to be our presidnet next month. SAY IT!!

So, yeah, the cogs in the brain are rearranging as they try making peace with the fact that I am, in fact, a WINNER. All together now... Catherine is A WINNER!!!!

Thank you, Jennifer and Sweatpantsmom and Lawrence (who as of now, does not have a blog that I can link to, only directions to his ranch which I'm sure he'd appreciate me not sharing).

But back to the Superior Scribbler Award. As a WINNER, I was asked to pass this on to five people whose posts I deem worthy of the honor.

Here are five:

Lori is a new Mile High Mama blogger and she just BLEEDS profundity and wisdom. Lori's posts are like therapy without the requisite inquiries about that dratted bedwetting phase. She's who I want to be when I grow up.

Marsha. And NO, it's not just because she just bestowed me with all kinds of Disney Swag. The woman is WIT personified. Holy Moses, she's funny. AND she has interviewed the likes of Paris Hilton, among many, many other celebrities. I feel a little bit more important just typing this!

Cameo. I know this about Cameo without never having met her... she will kick your ASS. And yet she will blow you away with her fierce love and kindness. I love her.

Lyn. How many women served in the House of Representatives, you ask? Lynilu knows. How many bacteria live on your feet? Lynilu can school you about it. What are the oldest, most cultivated nuts in the world? Ask Lyn. On top of being a wealth of information, she's so very sweet and has a small pack of beautiful Shih Tzus whose lives are fun to follow.

Last but not least, MARTHA. Martha is "a good thing" for WRITERS. This post is just one example of how she inspires. But her blog is like a box of chocolates.... a variety of delicious treats for everyone. It's like she says in her masthead... Ask for help with what you've written • Submit audio/video of you reading your work • Learn where and how to submit your stories • Connect with other writers. If you are a writer, you want to be sure and bookmark her and get to know her better. She is the real deal... as genuinely giving in person as she is on her blog.

So for anyone who's game, here are the details on how to pass it on:


*Each Superior Scribbler must in turn pass The Award on to 5 most-deserving Bloggy Friends.

*Each Superior Scribbler must link to the author & the name of the blog from whom he/she has received The Award.

* Each Superior Scribbler must display The Award on his/her blog, and link to This Post, which explains The Award.

* Each Blogger who wins The Superior Scribbler Award must visit this post and add his/her name to the Mr. Linky List. That way, we'll be able to keep up-to-date on everyone who receives This Prestigious Honor!

*Each Superior Scribbler must post these rules on his/her blog.


Oh, and did I mention that I am a winner? Sorry. But I'm pretty sure I'm gonna have to say it at least 500 more times before it feels natural.
