I was tagged twice with the Blogging BFF Award, and I didn't even realize it until today!
I'll offer up the excuse that I truly thought my head was going to explode last week. I had a killer migraine that lasted 4 - that's right, FOUR - days. Apparently, the prescription medication I have is no better than Excedrin Migraine, so it's back to the doctor for me to get something stronger!
But I do want to properly thank the ladies who tagged me:
First was Amy Crow of Amy's Genealogy Blog. I found Amy's blog through the Facebook Genea-Blogger's Group, and her blog is such a treat! If you like cemeteries, you'll love Amy's Tombstone Tuesday feature, in which she highlights some beautiful and unusual finds from the cemeteries she visits. Amy also participates in the unusual hobby of Waymarking - I think I'm going to have to brush off my TomTom and give it a try!
Today on Facebook, I discovered that Virginia Travis of Valeehill Genealogy Blog was also sweet enough to tag me. Virginia is one of my Twitter buddies, and I enjoy reading her updates about her daughter, her dog Lizzie, interesting weather events, and her current merging project on Geni. I have no idea how Virginia gets so much accomplished during the day when I'm lucky if I find the time to take a shower!
So, now it's my turn to pass on the award, and here are the rules:
Only five people are allowed to receive the award.
Four of them must be followers of your blog.
One has to be new to your blog and live in another part of the world.
You must link back to whoever gave you the award.
It was certainly difficult to pick only five, since there are so many wonderful bloggers out there who I count among my Blogger BFF's, but rules are rules. Plus, it was a challenge to try to find bloggers who hadn't already been tagged. But, here goes:
- Cindy Jane of In My Life
- Craig Manson of Geneablogie (love the new blog look, Craig!)
- Steve Danko of Steve's Genealogy Blog
- Katherine Borges, Director of the International Society of Genetic Genealogists (ISOGG), who will hopefully be shamed into updating her blog, Diary of a DNA Project Administrator, with this award!
- New to my blog (and also new to blogging, I think) is Julie Cahill Tarr of GenBlog.
Katherine and Cindy are a couple of my DAR buddies. I've known Katherine for several years - we used to Page together, back when I was young enough to do so (I feel so old now). I (virtually) met Cindy though another DAR connection, and she is one of those people you meet and wonder if you were separated at birth because you have so much in common!
I found Julie through the Facebook Blog Networks - thank you for stopping by, Julie!
And thank you to all of you who stop by my little blog. When I first started blogging, I had no idea that anyone, including my own family, would ever read it. I just needed a "grown-up" outlet where I could use words other than "num num" and "poopy" during the day. I never dreamed that I would wind up in such a terrific community of bloggers who never fail to inspire and motivate me!
