Me? Yes, Me. Me Me Me Me ME!

It's a happy week in the blogosphere. First, I was dicking around on the computer while Beau made me my dinnah the other night and I clicked (for the first time in months) on the long quiet blog of Miss Doxie and found out she's BACK from the black hole of the Interweb. For those who aren't familiar with her writing, Miss Doxie is seriously the funniest female blogger EVER. That is not to be taken lightly coming from me. Humor is the only thing in life that I take seriously. She is so funny I often laugh so hard at work that I tinkle a little bit and it reminds me to do my Kegels. Not really though. I don't need those. My vagina is made of steel.

And on that note, let's talk more about ME. One of my favorite bloggerellas, DG (who I've never actually met in real life, but I still feel like she'd hold back my hair while I vomited in a gutter) gave me an award for my awesomeness! You can look at it, but don't touch. And when you're done, I have to put it back in the cabinet with the other Nice Things.

It's like winning a Screen Actors Guild Award. Yeah, you could win an Oscar, but this one is awarded by one of your people so it means more. Everyone knows that. I don't think there's any better endorsement than another blogger saying of you, "That girl can cut a bitch." I seriously misted when I read that. I'm not even kidding. It may be the nicest, truest thing any stranger has ever said to me. I can cut a bitch. Sniffle.

I'd like to thank DG for giving me the award and I'd like to thank my friends, family, and coworkers for (often) knowingly allowing me to share the intimate details of our communal lives. Specifically, my upmost gratitude to Beau and Bologna for watching my downward spiral into insanity and letting it happen for the sake of this blog. I'd like to thank my afternoon mailman, Murphy, for being an Irish alcoholic with whom I trade daily war stories that often jog my memory for annecdotes to share with you. And, of course, I'd like to thank my liver for holding out this long.

As stipulated in Spanish on the award's homeblog Arte Y Pico it is now my responsibility as the latest awardee to pick a new recipient. Since most of the ones I read are by veteran bloggers who either a) would not respond b) don't need the publicity or c) would remind me of my restraining order, I've chosen to pass the torch on to a close friend, Face of Maison Du Visage. As you've probably gleaned from my stories, Face is an old college buddy (who did not respond to my friendly advances until the THIRD time that I approached her socially over the course of about three years. That story some other time) who recently started a blog. She has a much better vocabulary than me and also a whole category dedicated to vaginal euphemisms. Merry Christmas Face! Thanks for the knitted scarves! Here's what you can have in return!
