Special Tea Award

Margie: Edna, I think it's time to present our Special Tea Award to some of our special readers. I'll start. My intelligent friend, Poetic Shutterbug, not only takes nice pictures but helps me with ideas for my basement. She even suggested that I name my nekkid men the Margiedales. I'm going to ask her to take a lot of pictures then I'm going to be making me some money!

Edna: Well, I can't say I'm happy that she encouraged you in your flooziness, but I do like her blog so I won't argue. Who else should we give it to? Oh, you know, I just love that lady over at Kooky Culinary! It's amazing what she can do to make food cute, I sure hope her little one appreciates all the work she puts into those little box lunches.

Margie: I loved her hot dog shaped like an octopus. Her kids are very lucky.

Another favorite of mine is Grampy. He and I may be partners in a business deal. He's very smart and we can make a ton of money.

Edna: Margie, I'm starting to see a trend in your choices. Didn't he also encourage your floozy nonsense? That's it, I'm washing my hands of this whole nomination process. I've made my perfectly respectable award choice, you can finish this up on your own.

Margie: More proof that if Edna doesn't get her way then she shows her tushie.

*******************************

Unlike most blogging awards, there are no rules with this one. It does not need to be passed along (unless the recipient wants to), nor is it necessary to link back to us or even post it on your blog. We just want you to lift a virtual cup of special tea, think fun thoughts, and enjoy your award.

This is not a one-time-only award; we'll be giving this award again periodically in the future, since there are other people we'd like to honor for their support and good humor. So keep watching, you might see your name on the next awards list!

Let's all enjoy a little Pink Lemonade

It has been quite some time since we've handed out our Special Tea Award, and today we'd like to talk about a blogger who certainly deserves it. Not too long ago, Liz at the Pink Lemonade of Life blog bought ad space on our Entrecard widget. She had been trying to schedule her ad to run on a weekday, and she specifically did NOT want it to run on Sunday. We understood completely; we know that EC traffic is lower on the weekends, and if you're going to shell out the kind of EC credits it takes these days to advertise on our blog, we certainly want you to get your credit's worth. Finally, she managed to time her ad purchase so that she landed in our line-up on a Friday, and she was very happy. However, by the time her ad actually came due to run, issues beyond her control (i.e., trouble with the ad switchover in our widget not occurring in a timely manner) had pushed her ad to run on the exact day she didn't want: Sunday! We told her that we'd understand if she canceled her ad, and we certainly wouldn't hold it against her. But not only did she let that ad run on a Sunday, but she has since purchased another ad to run next week.

For her perseverance, good humor, and grace under fire, our friend Liz at the Pink Lemonade of Life blog is hereby awarded Margie and Edna's Special Tea Award. There are no rules associated with this award, and you do not have to pass it on to anyone. All you have to do is enjoy it, knowing that we hold you in the highest of esteem. Congrats!
