My Lady of the Lantern

Pundelina had given me Honest Scrap Award in January, and she along with Jamie and Clare also presented me the Beautiful Blogger Award in February. Thank You Ladies! I have received Honest Scrap multiple times before, but it sure is one delightful one. And it was my first time receiving the Beautiful Blogger . Essentially, both the awards require me to list 10 ( Honest Scrap ) / 7 ( Beautiful Blogger ) things about myself. Also I need to nominate bloggers who I believe deserve this award... I would this way have to expertly reveal 10+7=17 things about me, which begins from the next line forward. I settle for the 10 factozzias: 1. I have been reading Dear Abby in spare time for more than three years now. 2. As kids, I and my brother used to sing out ad jingles...he would sing the female bit, and I would sing the male bit and it made us giggle like nuts. 3. I am not fond of cooking but I love watching Top Chef and food related programmes on Travel&Living (Chew, World Cafe: Asi...

Contrary to how empty-headed I feel these days, Kristin(Kekis) believed in me enough to present me with an award she created. Thank You Kristin(Kekis) . However, before I tell you what it is, please go and give Kristin a virtual hug , as she had to cancel her IUI this cycle due to being diagnosed with the dreaded H1N1. And I would feel good if you left her jokes in her comment box...anything to make her smile a bit. [:-)] What she gave me is coined as Back in the Saddle Award and the details of the same are: Background: This award is given to bloggers that are "Back in the Saddle" of life.

Recipients have an attitude of a fighter, strive to be a winner of the battle, and show determination. Rules: Post the award's graphic, background, and rules on your blog.
