Okay, no more renditions of the Warren Zevon classic, "Poor, Poor, Pitiful Me!" I'm going to knock off the whining and complaining for now. If I look at the bright side, I just realized I can start collecting social security in only 6 more years... provided they still have any money left in the coffers by then. And my house will be paid off in 10 years. Plus, I have copious quantities of Dr. Pepper empties stashed in the basement that could be returned for enough nickels to feed a family of 5 for three weeks. (And since I'm currently a family of one while Vlad is off at college, it will last even longer.) In the event I can scrape enough shekels together to go out to eat, I can take advantage of the 55 & over menu. So you see, life is worth living.
But, the thing that really made life worth living this week was returning from a lovely trip to Massachusetts to find another award from the Quirkster! Now I have 2 awards to grace the pages of my blog! This one originated with The Scholastic Scribe and I have the honor of being the 900th blogger to register my Superior Scribbler Award. (As you can see, it's a rather exclusive club.)
I'm number 900! I'm number 900!
Here are the rules Quirky sent me for becoming a Superior Scribbler:
*Each Superior Scribbler must in turn pass The Award on to 5 most-deserving Bloggy Friends.
(see below)
*Each Superior Scribbler must link to the author & the name of the blog from whom he/she has received The Award. (In this case. Quirky at Musings of a Quirkyloon.)
*Each Superior Scribbler must display The Award on his/her blog, and link to This Post, which explains The Award.
*Each Blogger who wins The Superior Scribbler Award must visit this post and add his/her name to the Mr. Linky List. That way, we'll be able to keep up-to-date on everyone who receives This Prestigious Honor!
*Each Superior Scribbler must link to the author & the name of the blog from whom he/she has received The Award. (In this case. Quirky at Musings of a Quirkyloon.)

Here it is:
The Superior Scribbler Award!
I hereby bestow the Superior Scribbler Award on these Bloggy Friends:
Mr. Glob... because he has a cool name and he's afraid of Mormons too.
Eternally Distracted... because that's what I am.
JB at Black Thoughts... because it's going to take more than a hamburger to make her happy.
Aubs over at My Life on Lined Paper... because she's a great scribbler and I hope she starts scribbling again soon! (I've missed her scribblings.)
Nanodance... because she's my primo scribbler friend and I wouldn't be scribbling without her.
There you have it... my Superior Scribbler nominees. I hope you'll have as much fun reading them as I do. They'll make life worth living again... I promise!
Thanks, again, Quirky!
