Blog Awards Confession

Blog awards.  I don't know what they are or what to do with them.  I really don't.  I don't know where they originated, and once I'm notified someone has one for me, I don't know how to "get it" or where to "put it".  I'm genuinely flattered and thankful for the three I've received so far.

Thank you Jennifer from My Chaotic Peace for my first blog award.  You kindly notified me, I kindly went to your blog and said "thank you".  But then I didn't know what to do.

Thank you Mrs. D. from Dash of Crazy for my second and third awards.  Again, I was kindly notified, and I visited your blog to say thanks.  But then I didn't know what to do.

When people ask me what kind of computer I have, I used to say beige.  Now I can say grey.  I'm not up on technical tricks.  I can type.  Pretty fast actually.

I went to the bookstore a couple of weeks ago to get some books on HTML and CSS because I have some design ideas for my blog.  My blog.  The hobby that makes no money, and pulls me away from puttering, mothering, wifing, and has actually resulted in me screening phone calls, because I'm too busy (blogging or reading blogs) to take the call.  Pathetic. 

I can intellectually understand what the HTML and CSS books say.  I don't have enough uninterrupted time to tinker on this new compulsion though.  One day I will.  I'll be like an addict with their face in a giant pile of white powder, coding and typing, beautifying and perfecting my blog at lightning speed.

Until then, I have no frickin idea how to retrieve an award, what to do with it, or where to put it.  I literally canNOT pick the thing up at "your place".  I don't know how.

I sincerely, and humbly thank you Jennifer and Mrs. D.  This is a simple case of my bad.

[Note to Mom, Em, and maybe Grandma Ross:  I should probably explain blog award.  Many other blogs have postage stamp size rectangles to the right or left of the main body.  These "stamps" have cute graphics and say "cool blogger", "I luv your blog", "bad-ass blogger", etc...  They're considered a very nice and welcome compliment to the blogger.  Email me with any further questions.  Oh, and Mom,  I've NEVER done cocaine.  I saw Scarface though.]
