Queen for a Day

All right, everyone. You must now bow or curtsy whenever you visit this blog or at least for the next few days. Mary from Mother No's Best has bestowed me with the honor of Queen of All Things Awe-Summm. That's right. In one week, I've gone from Queen Bee to Queen Awe-Summm. Not bad. Maybe next week I can be the Queen of England, too. Um, never mind. I would probably have to marry Prince Charles for that to happen, and the idea of having to wake up to his face every day just made me throw up in my mouth.

So here are the awe-summm rules:
  1. List seven things that make you awe-summm.
  2. Pass the award on to seven bloggers you love.
  3. Tag those bloggers to let them know that they are now Queens of All Things Awe-Summm.
  4. Don't forget to link to the queen that tagged you.
  5. If you would like, copy the pic and put it on your sidebar so everyone knows that you're a queen.
  6. Make sure your sister knows that she must now and forever address you as "Your Majesty."...Okay, I made this rule up, but I'm going to pretend it's real.
What are seven things that make me awe-summm? Let's see.
  1. I once turned spaghetti into pine straw. It takes real talent to turn the world's easiest meal into yard debris.
  2. I'm willing to contort myself into odd positions and lay on only three inches of mattress every night so that I don't disturb my dogs' sleep. At times, I have even considered sleeping sideways across the bed because Bella and Bailey were both asleep on my pillows. Now that makes me an awe-summm dog owner, if I do say so myself.
  3. I can come up with more nicknames than Lost's Sawyer. Judge Combover, Narcoleptic Nancy, Queen of the Mall Rats, Boxer Boy, Booty Shorts Girl, Little Miss Snippy Pants, Snarky Sally, Mullet Girl--they're all a lot more colorful than Freckles. If I ever get stranded on a deserted island with smoke monsters and that guy from Party of Five, I'm totally set.
  4. Speaking of my realtor, I'm awe-summm because I haven't killed her yet. I know that a lot of you are probably are making bets as to when I'll get an ax and give Little Miss Snippy Pants 40 whacks, but you're going to have to wait a little while longer to collect your money. I have awe-summm self control. :)
  5. I once got a black eye from a dog. Not a lot of people can say the same.
  6. I once beat an eight-year-old at a video game. I don't have any proof of my victory. The minute I started beating the said eight-year-old at Wii Sports and Boom Blox, he promptly turned off the Wii without saving the game and proclaimed that he was bored. He wasn't bored. He just met his match, and he knew it. If you were to ask him now, he would deny that I ever beat him, but I swear it happened.
  7. I can type "I'm a lawyer" on this blog, and you don't run away screaming, "My eyes! My eyes!" That's rare for those of us with a J.D. at the end of our names.
As for the awe-summm bloggers that I want to pass this on to. Well, you're all awe-summm. It's hard to pick just seven. I would assume, based on the queen detonation, that I have to give it to female bloggers so I'm going to try to give the award to seven female bloggers that I didn't give the Zombie Chicken to.
  1. Stacie from Stacie's Madness.
  2. Stacie from Thoughts on Everything and Nothing. (We non-Y Stacies have to stick together, LOL.)
  3. Grumpy from My Blog
  4. Amy from AmyOops!
  5. Cheryl from The Daily Blonde
  6. Stefanie from From Huskies to Husbands
  7. The Crabby Blogging Lady from Crabby Blogging Lady
Thanks for the award, Mary! You can all stop bowing now.

Update: It appears that one of the queens doesn't do awards and has stepped down from her throne, so to speak. Rather than pick a replacement, I'm going to break the rules a little and say the following. If the glass slipper fits and you feel like an Awe-Summm Queen today, want to feel like one, or need a meme type thing to blog about today, feel free to pick up the award and pass it on to your own ladies in waiting. Just leave a comment, and CommentLuv will give you the link back.

For my male readers, if you're not too proud to be called a queen, feel free to grab it as well.
