My first award!

While I was away, one of my favourite bloggers at ThisMid30sLife gave me an award! How special do I feel right now?! You can read all about the "awards ceremony" here. She had been given a multitude of very well-deserved awards herself and was passing some on to a few new blogs she'd discovered. And one of them was mine!

The last award I won was no less than 1st place for Religion in Year 12 at school. Yes, I'm laughing too. It was too long ago to remember how on earth I managed to score that glowing accolade but I'm quite sure that it had something to do with my exceptional ability to nap meditate in class. I'm not sure what meditation had to do with religion but you didn't hear me complaining. It was most probably our teacher's 'innovative' way to get us all to shut up when we clearly had very important gossip to catch up on from last Saturday night's pash at Mansions. I was pretty good at both those things at that point in my life. Meditating and gossiping that is.

Now there are some rules I'm supposed to follow for this award. I'm supposed to tell you a bit about myself and then answer some questions. A few posts ago I told you A LOT about myself, 50 things in fact, so I'm pretty sure if I tell you any more I'm likely to cross some sort of personal/private/cringe/shudder/I'm-no-longer-following-your-blog line that neither of us wants me to cross. So I'll spare us all and just answer the questionnaire.


Questionnaire

1. If you blog anonymously, are you happy doing it? 

I've never blogged anonymously. I can understand why people do it - the safety, privacy, security etc, but for me the best thing about blogging so far has been getting to know other bloggers and the things in their life that make them who they are, and that requires revealing a certain amount of information about yourself. I think once you get past the initial fear, you realise that it's quite liberating to be yourself, funnily enough.

2. What do you see when you really look at yourself in the mirror? 

That I have a very good future with Mr. Botox.

3. What is your favourite summer cold drink? 

Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter - a cold glass of Sauvignon Blanc. Snap. 

There's something so affirming about an award and since getting this one from my new blog friend I feel all that and more. So thanks ThisMid30sLife for making me feel good, and special, and worthwhile, and part of something bigger than me, myself and I at my table on the 36th floor.
