Dear Distracted shopper...

It was a little annoying (but mostly entertaining) to watch you try and purchase your items at the self check out last night. I can't decide if my favorite part was your yelling at all of us in the store, "does anyone speak Spanish?" as you tried to navigate your way through the self checkout line- after you had distractedly hit the "en espanol" button while talking on your cell phone- or if it was that even after you realized that an employee had come over to try and help you (at my request), you continued to talk on the phone and push the buttons in spanish to complete your transaction!

In the future, could you please do us all a favor and please get off your phone as you can clearly not multitask? We, the people patiently waiting behind you in line for 10 minutes, would greatly appreciate it if you, and those like you, who talk on your cell phones while trying to complete a sales transaction would realize that you are dealing with either a human being (the sales clerk) or a complicated machine (obviously complicated enough that it needed your undivided attention).

I can't wait until we meet again in hopes that your manners have improved and/or that you have learned to speak Spanish.

Sincerely,

"I'm a Fan"

Thank you to Brittany from "Food for Thought" for this award...how clever and cute!~

Premio Dardos Blog Award

Thank you to Nicol for this beautifully drafted award. I love the artistic creativity of this award, bravo to the artist, whomever he/she may be. As you know, and some of you may not, I do not pass along awards because of the nature of my blog, which I know makes it all that much more difficult to give me an award that needs to be passed along! Nicole is from Classy and Sophisticated which is such a cute and cleaver name for a blog, keep up the good work and well done on picking other classy blogs that are deserving of such an honor as I hope to be. Thank you again Nicol.

Thank you Masked Mommy

Thank you Masked Mommy for my award, I truly appreciate the recognition. In order not to confuse my readers, I have a side column marked "awards" where I have placed my awards. I didn't learn this until after receiving an award, but now the most recent two awards appear there. I am happy to accept this award and am grateful for it, but I hope you will understand why my award stays in the "Awards" section. There are also countless blogs that I could mention and so I gracefully decline to "tag" 10 blogs.

Thank you again for this honor, I feel truly blessed and humbled that you would think of me. I hope that you will forgive my not passing along the award as there are too many blogs to single ten out. All my gratitude~

What a sweet gesture!

Kathryn-
Thank you for giving me this darling award. I am flattered that people think my blog is "award" worthy. I thought your comments were so sweet, thank you for your sweet words; here is what she said: "The Pink Teapot: What more can I say about this blogger other than she is the Mary Poppins of Blogland? She is practically perfect in every way! Everyone should read her blog and remember that even though world would like you to think that manners are out of style and can be thrown out the window on a whim: Manners are always in style and should never be forgotten." you can also read it here on her blog. I will attempt to follow these rules exactly and I look forward to watching the blogs that I nominate get the recognition they deserve.

Please follow these rules exactly, and look below to see my winning blog choices:

Each Superior Scribbler must in turn pass The Award on to 5 most-deserving Bloggy Friends.
~Each Superior Scribbler must link to the author & the name of the blog from whom he/she has received The Award.
~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 post these rules on his/her blog.

These choices in no way are meant to demean or belittle other blogs...choosing 5 is difficult, but to be honest, I don't visit many blogs right now, I just don't have the time...so these are the ones I visit~

1. D goddess Blog is our up and coming Martha Stewart. With four little ones, she still manages to have the cutest ideas for anything domestic...and as an added bonus, she's very environmentally aware!
2. Young Embellishment my kindred spirit...my sparkle sister! Jenn is talented in every way and has a beautiful family that she proudly shows off with her adorable and creative scrapbooking pages that she's created digitally.
3. Apronista-She's a keeper! I love the aprons that she finds almost every day-the enduring energy that woman has is amazing!
4. Sherbet Blossom- A big thanks to Hannah for agreeing to re-design my blog! I am in awe of your beautiful and original designs...and you're multi-talented..I'm surrounded by such amazing women!
5. JoBloom- Sweet Jenny has uplifting thoughts for every day life...including health tips and how we can better take care of ourselves in all aspects of our lives.

Well that's it ladies, I am sure I have forgotten many...though that is never my intention. I enjoyed doing this and truly just nominated blogs that I read. Love to all! Happy Thursday night!
