A Prestigious and Valueable Award that everyone covets.

It is nice to be recognized by others in blogland with an award. 

They are little pats on the back, thanks for something you wrote, you inspire me, you're a bald faced liar, you ma...., wait..what?

Did someone say I'm a bald faced liar?

Well, kinda-sorta-not really, but maybe, in a way, nah.

Although I am fond of the tongue-in-cheek banter.

Mags at The Other Side of Fifty believed I deserved this little award.

Aw!  That's the weirdest sweetest thing!  Back at ya!

Of course, there are a few rules that come with this one.  Rules that I will totally ignore naturally comply with.  They are:

1. Thank the person who gave this to you.

2. Copy the logo and place it on your blog.

3. Link to the person who nominated you.

4. Tell us up to six outrageous lies about yourself, and at least one outrageous truth.

5. Allow your readers to guess which one or more are true.

5. Nominate seven "Creative Writers" who might have fun coming up with outrageous lies.

6. Post links to the seven blogs you nominate.

7. Leave a comment on each of the blogs letting them know you nominated them.

Please do stop over at Mags Other Side of Fifty.  The woman can cook.  And the pictures of the food she takes look like food oughta look.

So without further ado, I present to you my outrageous lies and at least one outrageous truth.

Or maybe I'll present you with my outrageous truths and at least one outrageous lie.

Or maybe I'll present you with just a bunch of outrageous crap that may or may not have some truth or some lie.  (cause I'm a rebel like that!)

If you comment on this post try to guess which one/ones are true.  I double-dog-dare you!



#1 I live in a shoe.  But I only have a couple of kids so it's all good.

#2 I went to school with the actress who played "Pam" in Urban Cowboy, the actor who played "Jack Brennen" in  Frost/Nixon, and the current Secretarty of Homeland Security

#3 "Johnny" comes over frequently and hangs out on my couch.

#4 My Indian name, from my life on the reservation, is "Ishkoodah", which means "runs with a torch".  I was often followed by "Nibiinaabe" which means "runs with a fire extinguisher".

#5 Once, at Barnes and Noble, I was forced to purchase a book because I took it into the bathroom with me.  They didn't want it around the other books anymore.

#6 One month I baked too many cookies, cakes, cupcakes and bread so my family gave me an intervention. I'm now in a 12 step program at OverBakers Anonomous.

#7 One day, when I was in my early 30's, and well into my 2nd trimester with my 2nd child, my boss called me into his office, sat me down across the desk from him and says this  "(his bosses name) wanted me to let you know that you will have 2 children now"  


I'd like to pass on this award to the following bloggers. I've enjoyed reading their blogs on a daily basis and consider them all very talented the blogging world.

Please feel lots of pressure don't feel any obligation to participate in this little game of outrageous lies, but if you'd like to join in on the fun, I'd love to hear your lies!
