There’s no way to continue without expressing my gratitude, admiration, and appreciation to Pia Valentin for this recommendation and nomination. Go forth and shower her with lots of love, gifts, and the occasional stalkery act. WOW! I am humbled and actually pretty much at a loss for words except to say THANK YOU!! And then give a big hug! Yeah Yeah, people get nominated all the time……well, I can tell you that this is extremely wonderful to me, because it means someone actually read my words and like them!
There is, of course, a catch to this extraordinary honor….that being the rules. As a rule, I’m not a HUGE fan of arbitrary rules, but in this case I will make an exception to my rule. The rules are as follows, in no particular order (here’s where I get to break the rules):
Here are The Sunshine Award rules:
• Include the award’s logo in a post or on your blog.
• Answer 10 questions about yourself (I’m changing the questions too).
• Nominate 10-12 other fabulous bloggers.
• Link your nominees to this post and comment on their blogs, letting them know they have been nominated.
• Share the love and link the person who nominated you.
And here are my 10 answers to the 10 questions:
1. Favorite sandwich? Peanut Butter, Swiss, and Turkey with Fritos between the turkey and the cheese.
2. What Is Your Quest? To wander about this life enjoying many of the sights, sounds, a few of the smells, and sharing a smile where possible.
3. Favorite Fruit? Fresh
4. Favorite Dessert? YES
5. Favorite Hobby? People Watching
6. My passion? This one is remains BREATHING!
7. Do you have a secret talent or hobby? If I told you then it wouldn’t be secret now would it? But YES I do.
8. Beach, Mountains or Desert? Love the beach, Like the desert, not much on the mountains though.
9. Favorite day of the week? The ones ending in “y”
10. Favorite Song? “I Don’t Wanna Stop” by Ozzy Osbourne (when he was still coherent).
And my 10 – 12 Nominees are……..(insert appropriate fanfare here)………The first 10 – 12 people to read this!



I’m refreshing the SUNSHINE you awarded last week…or was it two weeks ago. Just saying….it’s never too late, or too early, for a bit of SUNSHINE….thank you NoZtimestwo!!
You are welcome Jots. You know me, always blowing sunshine up someone’s……well……let’s change that to always trying to bring a smile.
Where’s my visor? The light, it’s burning!!! Mr Sunshine, keep beaming and spilling your lovely rays all over cyberland! And if it’s up my bum I will still welcome it with a smile!
Fret not dear ZenTwin, for I have found the light switch for the sunshine and have dimmed it for you. Still might burn a bit around the bum, but that’s why we have after sun lotion.
Just for a little while…turn it back up full Beam around 2 pm. I will definitley need that solar power, dude!
Consider it done. But I’ll slowly turn it up to avoid the power overload.
me thinks you are now an addict
Shhhhh……don’t tell EVERYONE! I just got my flower fix and trying to make it last.
snort slow
One petal at a time. The heady buzz is quite intoxicating.
Who needs a ride home? I’m driving!
I’m flying so i’m good … just waiting for the beam to catch me
Nothing like a beam up the bloomers to set the rockets in motion.
Congratulations to you! I love your choice in Sandwhiches and your favorite days of the week.
Ahhhh…..so you have a discerning palate too?
Everyday is a good day. Even the worst of days is a good day.
Hey – congrats. You do a great job.
Not fair making me blush….but thank you all the same.
are you talking about sparkly underwear?
Ah, yes sparkly…but do you have a puffy tail? – now THAT is the question…L
Puffy tail? And why, pray tell, are you looking at my tail?
Erm…I…well I just…um…I was looking for the source of the sunshine
…Lill
Ahem….and did you find what you were looking for? I’d like my cash card back please.
All I found was a button and a mint with lint fuzz on it…L
Don’t make me frisk you. Oh wait…..go ahead and make me. You found my lint collection?
Congratulations
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine. You make me happy when skies are gray. Congrats!
Glad you’re here….got a box of smiles to deliver and needed you to sign for it.
Signed & delivered! You know how smiles are my second favorite to laughter!
Laughter begins with a smile. So does this mean I don’t need to wear the chicken suit?
I want to say yes, no need…but the sight of it is a must see!
