an awarding experience

I was thrilled when I sat down at my computer this morning to discover that I have had not one, but two blogging awards bestowed upon me. And by two vegans. This is almost enough to inspire me to give up bacon. Almost.



The first came courtesy of The Spooky Vegan , whose blog I discovered relatively recently when I noticed her creeping around behind mine. I was quite moved by her effusive praise of my blog and will admit that I got more than a little choked up when she referred to me as both kooky and creepy in the same sentence. Thank you, Spooky Vegan. I've been enjoying your blog too, although I will admit to scrolling quickly past the horror movie screen shots. They scare me.

The second award was sent by another herbivore: The Creepy Vegan. It was with a mixture of horror and surprise that I noticed I have not been following her blog. That situation has since been remedied. Thank you, Creepy Vegan.

This award comes with a longer set of rules than the first, requiring me to actually think. Of seven things about myself. Hmmmm . . . okay.

1] Vampires scare me . . .

2] . . . and the only exception is the Count from Sesame Street . . .

3] . . . although as a child I found him slightly disturbing.

4] My favourite flavour of miniature bags of Halloween chips was Hot Dog . . .

5] . . . and I was devastated when they were discontinued.

6] As a child, we never grew real pumpkins, despite having a large garden, and the only jack-o-lanterns I had were of the plastic variety.

7] I abhor pumpkin seeds.

Like many fellow bloggers, I will be ignoring the rule about choosing a few favourite blogs. At last count, I was following more than 80, so I wouldn't know where to begin. And I've noticed that not following the rules is the new rule.

Thanks again, Spooky and Creepy.
