fracas

Thanks to brahnamin, I’ve become a “thinking blogger”. I’ll explain momentarily, jumping ahead to the part where you’re supposed to then nominate five people for the same designation. In choosing my five, I realized I’d better check that they haven’t already been dubbed such by someone else (in which case, they’ll be more annoyed at my naming them and setting them on the path to name five people again) and I see that not only has Iced Mocha been one for awhile now, but that she named me and I missed it!

Oh the shame.

So I’m struggling now, because how can I be a thinking blogger if I wasn’t even astute enough to have noticed that I was named by Iced Mocha earlier?

That aside, the point of the award is to recognize other bloggers who get you to think. I’d originally whined pointed out to brahnamin, that I might have a problem choosing only 5. Since I was clearly off in la-la land somewhere, and didn’t follow up on Iced Mocha’s post, I feel I should rightfully choose 10 people.

Smart enough to wiggle my way out of having to choose only 5 of you, and you were ready to agree that I couldn’t possibly be a thinking blogger…

Smart enough to recognize an opportunity to buy a great new dress and shoes and hopefully come out looking as great in it as Marcia does…

Ha!

So, on to the listed.

I could list a particular post at each blog that made me think (as did brahnamin) or I could just list the bloggers as did Iced Mocha. I choose to just list the bloggers, because at each blog, what makes me think may not be what makes someone else think. I’m sure at each one, you will find a post that makes you click add to favorites, so do enjoy them.

If I named you, I promise I won’t be upset if you don’t participate and name your 5. I have to admit… while I do appreciate being named, I also did it so I could buy myself a new dress and shoes.

In alphabetical order:

6. Joey Moggie (Joey)
7. Journey From Grrr to There (Joy)

UPDATE:

Ok, so I’m a poopy pants whose redemption comes at the hands of Joey. I hadn’t included the link back to the original blog for the award (as we’re supposed to). Slap me for not co-operating with another blogger’s attempts to keep track of the meme. I should know better!

Thinking Blogger Awards

The participation rules are simple:

1. If, and only if, you get tagged, write a post with links to 5 blogs that make you think,
2. Link to this post so that people can easily find the exact origin of the meme,
3. Optional: Proudly display the ‘Thinking Blogger Award’ with a link to the post that you wrote (here is an alternative silver version if gold doesn’t fit your blog).
