Even before Winter Storm Alfred tore through Connecticut like it was Winter Storm Batman and knocked our lights out for a week, I wasn't blogging too often. I apologize for my scarcity, but in my defense I've been quite busy of late. And by "busy," I mean I've spent most of my time
being lazy being very lazy occupying various cities camping out for Twilight: Breaking Dawn seeking the GOP presidential nomination being a dad.
Seriously, it's like
The Professor has an innate ability to sleep right up until my workday ends, and then need to be held and/or entertained the rest of the night. It's a good thing he's so darned cute.

Anyway, last month Heather Henry over at
Little Red Henry bestowed upon me the 7x7 Link Award. In the interest of
laziness concisity, however, I shall henceforth call it the 49 Link Award.

As I do
every time I receive an award, I promptly redesigned it in Photoshop:

Now, as a recipient of the √
2,401 Link Award, I'm supposed to point you to some of my previous blog posts, one in each of seven specific categories. I've never been one for following rules,
3 but this one seems benign enough I'll play along.
Of course, I never said I'd stick with the original categories...
Most beautiful Most productive use of bacon: Horrible Puns For The Win
Most popular Greatest contribution to popular culture: That Wasn't All, Paul (The Other 45 Ways to Leave Your Lover)
Most controversial Best Justin Bieber anagram: A Ram Sang a Ragman's Anagrams
Most helpful Most creative use of paper clips: Before The Wheel
Most surprisingly successful Best use of photos to illustrate a story: The Biggest Carrot in the Kitchen
Most underrated Best appearance by Melvin the Wannabe Warlock: Say What?
Most pride-worthy Most topical mention of gefilte fish: Yo Ho Ho, and a Bottle of Manischewitz
I suspect I'm also supposed to pass this award onto seven other bloggers or something like that, but that's not my style. I'm a rebel, not a sheep. I march to the bleat of a different drummer and take the toad less graveled. Or, something like that.
Besides, I don't have time to create more links. I'm far too
selfish indecisive devilishly handsome lazy.
1 Technically, he's only cute, not darned. But some of his clothes are both.
2 "Concisity" may not be a real word, but it's more concise than "conciseness," so it should be.
3 I make my own rules. And then I disregard those, too. The only ones I always follow are slide rules, since otherwise kids could fall and get really hurt.
I would have L'dOL while reading this, alas I have no voice. I had to settle for snickering quietly (SQ). However, Hazel tooted rather loudly. Thus, I could perhaps say, "Oh, that made Hazel TOL." HA more SQ, thankfully no more TOL.
ReplyDeleteI think I prefer your version of the award. Next time, I will pass the award on to you and then copy you. Because I AM TOO LAZY, to creatively do it myself. :) That Wasn't All, Paul, was definitely one of my favorites. Still makes me giggle. Happy Happy Thanksgiving to you, hope it is turkey filled and spectacular.
ReplyDeleteOnce again, spot on. Spot on.
ReplyDeleteSara, glad I could do that for you... I think. You just continue to SQUEAL (snicker quietly until Ethan absolutely laughs) with MATH (magnificently adorable tooting Hazel).
ReplyDeleteHeather, you're not too lazy, you just have better things to do. (So do I, but that's never stopped me before.) And thanks, my Thanksgiving will be turkey-filled and spectacular. It always is. I hope yours is as well.
Falen, I've spotted on. It was over by the Off. (But thanks.)
