A big Thank You to the creator of www.yourejustadumbass.wordpress.com for nominating my blog for this award. Hope I don’t mess up any of the rules. Her blogs have at times given me laughter and knowledge. As I’ve said before I had no clue what to expect when I entered this world of blogging. I had never read a blog possibly never saw myself operating one. I did not know what my first post should be about. I was in a whole new world. Fortunately I had my niece who gave me advice and ideas on what to do as a reader of blogs. So a big thanks goes to my niece Tiff. With bloggers most of us, disclose tidbits about ourselves at times.

Boy picking these blogs was like eating potato chips, I couldn’t pick just one. I had said I wasn’t going to list too many b/c of the notification requirement, but once I got started I just couldn’t stop and there would be more but for Blog of the Year 2012 Award I thought maybe the Award should be reserved for those who blog most often. More really should be on this list b/c there are some awesome blogs here on WP.

I had to copy in hopes of not messing up the links. Hopefully I haven’t messed them up if I did the creator of you’re a dumbass, I’ll go ahead an apologize now. I believe I still did messed up b/c I’m sure I shouldn’t have any stars, so again I apologize right now. I had spent hours last week trying to cut and paste but the links didn’t appear on my post as they did on yours and sadly pride would not allow me to ask for help and maybe fear of being the dumba$$, so I took the next best route. Thanks again very much for the nomination and please everyone stop by these wonderful blogs. The passion and wisdom behind the topics will amaze you. Good Luck to us all and HAPPY BLOGGING!!!
