Awards Ceremony Sunday.
It’s awards time again! Yippee for awards!!

I received this award from Storyteller. *
Gosh, I’ve met so many nice people online. I’m kind of amazed at all the hard working, nice people I’ve met. Scratch the surface of almost any blogger and you’re going to find a nice person.
I pass the Nice Matters Award to:
- Odat for her capacity to face the winds of life,
- Josie at C’est La Vie for always having a kind word,
- Squirrelly for being nice about my fumbling,
- FuriousBall for just being a really sweet person,
- Puss ReBoots for helping me with the title of my books,
- Heart in SF for working to be nice in challenging situations,
- The CEO at Morning Meeting for support and cyber hugs.
- Nicholas at Gentleman’s Domain for making weather.

I received this monkey award from Joy at Joy of Desserts. If you haven’t seen her yummy blog…. it’s yummy!
I give this award to:
- Avitable for this picture and post. (Be forewarned… it’s hairy.)
- Mr. Fabulous at Pointless Drivel for this fabulous dancing post.
- Janet at Fond of Snape for this bacon post which made me crave bacon for a week.
- BroLo at Soliloquy in an International Cloister for this post on dead Catholic saints.
- Moobs for his current nipple crisis.
~~~~~~

I received this award from the CEO.*** He said: “If you have no idea of the high pedestal that I have put Open Grove Claudia deservedly onto, then you haven’t been reading my blog for a while. Not only did Claudia help Susan, she was rocking out in the video. Naturally.”
Ok, that only make sense in the context of the sex on the beach video on his post. Which I think sounds a little gritty, but … never mind.
Is this a sexy butt??? It seems a little, well, flat to me.? My butt does not look like this.? My hips are narrower, my legs are more muscular and my butt is rounder.? I got in this very “discussion” with Furious Ball.? Clearly, THIS is sexy.? Sigh.? What does that mean about me?
Moving on….
Ignoring the wide, flat arse, I give the Sexy Blogger award to:
- Miss Britt because she is damn sexy.? (Take a peek here).
- Christy because she is music, entertainment and book sexy.
- Colleen at Loose Leaf Notes who is Mountain sexy.
- No Nonsense Girl because she’s no nonsense sexy.
- Amy at Lives Less Ordinary because she proves that Scots are damn sexy.
- Liz at Los Angelista because she’s got sexy hair.
- Jameil because she’s got sexy shoes – particularly these sexy boots.
- Tommie at Tuesday Update because she’s keeps the home fires burning hot with her sexiness.
- Michelle at Lede Me On because she makes sexy, executive mommying look easy.
- Cajun Vegan at I read banned books because she makes Las Vegas sparkle with her sexiness.

Thank you for the award. I had fun brainstorming with you.
Congratulations, Claudia! You are the Queen of Awards.
Thank you for thinking I’m nice. I already got this one from some other lovely, misguided soul but so appreciate your thinking of me.
I also got that “sexy” butt award which I haven’t posted yet and I agree. I didn’t think it was a butt that would launch a thousand ships. either.
Hey, congratulations, Claudia!
your boy Trevor is upset you didn’t give him the sexy award, though. Selfish lout, isn’t he?
Congrats on you well deserved awards…….and thanks so much for my “Nice” one!!!! I’ll wear it proudly!
Peace
Hey Chicky…congrats on the awards!
I love a girl with a healthy ego
thanks for the award, sorry I made you crave bacon!
Thank you for the award! I keep telling everyone I’m f*cking fabulous!
“I’m sexy. I’m cute. I’m popular to boot!”
Humbled, really.
Claudia, conratulations on all your awards. My goodness!!! And thank you for passing the “nice matters” award onto me. Coming from you, I take that as a real compliment…!
Congrats on the blog bling!
I am honored to get this from you! Funny, I don’t EVER think of myself as sexy! domestic…yes, sexy, no!
Puss ReBoots – So well deserved!
Heart in SF – I thought maybe you could use a nice boost.
Susan Helen Gottfried – Trevor is a sex GOD! And he knows I think that….
Odat – Nothing like nice bling for the retiree!
Nap Warden – Yippee for awards!
Janet – Mmmmmm bacon….
Cajun Vegan – Wear your sexy proudly!
Josie – Hurray for nice!
Tommie – I bet your dh thinks something different!
Thank you for the Nice Award for being supportive. The Love On A Beach video was about racism, or the lack of it, and I felt you belonged in the middle of it. As an ass man, I haven’t met an ass I haven’t liked yet. Finally, I didn’t make the Sexy Blogger Award, I just thought you deserved it. Still do. Have a great week!
Why thank you for saying my hair is sexy! I almost chopped all that sexy hair off on Saturday night because it was misbehaving, but now I’m glad I didn’t take the plunge into short ‘fro land.
Aww… YAY!
Do I get to keep that butt?
omg i’m sooooo excited i got the sexy award! yay!! but it cracks me up that it was for those boots. too funny. thanks!
CEO – Goodness, I hope I didn’t offend you. I’m so grateful for the award. I was attempting a self deprecating joke. You’re awesome!
Los Angelista – Your hair is gorgeous. If you saw my hang in the face or stick straight up hair, you’d thank God.
Miss Britt – She’s all yours. Enjoy!
Jameil – Of course, those boots are waaay sexy!
WHY, I haven’t felt sexy in years. But I sure do now. THANK YOU!
Congrats Claudia! Hey, I’d much rather your bum than the bum on the award too! Wait. That didn’t come out right. :p
That is not a cute bum!! Yours sounds so much better!
Now… I’m off to strip down and take naughty photos of myself so someone will think I am sexy enough for the flat-ugly bum award… ahem… I mean sexy award.
You should make your own little award picture. hehe
Thanks!
Mountain sexy. That’s a first for me. Wait till I tell my husband.
Thanks, Claudia!
Jinkies. You didn’t need to dole any awards out to me, least of all a sexy one, lol. I’m such a proclaimed nerd it’s not even remotely sexy.
Someone find my pocket protector, where is the tape for my glasses.
But also, thank you, immensely, for thinking bookishness is sexy. =o)
Michelle – You are one sexy momma! Never forget it!
Jill – Yes, I completely agree.
Kelly – Oh Gosh, I hope you aren’t offended…. I figured you were a big sick of these awards.
Adam – You’re welcome.
Colleen – I wonder what he said!?!
Christy – Anyone who can say Jinkies is super sexy.
