Awards and then some

I am so behind in my awards and I apologize to everyone who has been kind enough to give me one. I think I responded to each of you right away on your blog but if I missed someone I am very sorry. I really appreciate it every time I am lucky enough to receive one of these. All of you have been incredibly kind to me since I started blogging. When I pass an award to someone else I d o take my time to decide who to give it to. At one time or another I could give all of these to each and every one of you. Instead of doing that I try to give it to people who represent the spirit of the award, for me, at that time. And if you've already received it I'm sorry to repeat it but I am sincere in my appreciation. Now I have some catching up to do!

Zombie Chicken Award!

Thank you, thank you to Melissa at Melissa's Bookshelf and to Bingo at Bookin' With Bingo for this very cool award! What could be better than zombie chickens? And these kind women have promised that the googlie-eyed poultry won't keep them from reading my blog! Who could ask for anything more? I'm not quite sure how you would stop zombie chickens but if I were them I wouldn't risk keeping passionate readers away from any kind of reading material. Take your chances chickens!

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...

So without further delay, zombie chickens couldn't stop me from reading words written by these fine people:

1. Keely at The UnMom. (I could tell from your post Zombie Round Up that this would mean a lot to you!)
2. The Kool-Aid Mom at The Shadow of Mt. TBR
3. Caspette at The Narrative Causality

BRING IT ON ZOMBIE CHICKENS!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Caspette from The Narrative Casuality has been so kind and honored me with this award.
She gave it to new blogs and blogging friends she has discovered. I am also giving this to blogs I have recently discovered through memes and other people's blogs. They may not all be new blogs but they are new to me. Maybe they're new to you as well so check them out. And while you're at it, visit Caspette at her blog. She's only been doing this since January and has some great stuff. Show her some love and welcome her.

This award goes to:
1. Holly at Bellas Novella
2. purplg8r at So Many Books, So Little Time
