I Like You, I Really Like You!

by UnknownMami on October 11, 2009

I have been remiss.

It has been my great honor to receive many wonderful blog awards [To see the full list except for one that I seem to have lost that had a cute animated smiley thing (if you gave me that lovely smiley award please tell me because I've looked everywhere and can not find it, but I digress) please click on AWARDS]. And what have I done to show my appreciation? Nothing, nada, zilch, zippo.

I really do enjoy getting awards. Who doesn’t enjoy being appreciated? It’s just that I am a bit of a rebel. Hard to believe, but true. Something in me resists following the rules so I’ve broken all of them. I am an artist, I need to be free; that’s my excuse and I’m sticking to it.

What I have done is absorb all the wonderful mojo of these awards and turned them into another award that I will distribute from time to time. I will give this award to blogs that I truly love in hopes that you will visit them and love them to.

So without further ado, I give you the Mami Loves Me and You Should Too Award!

The rules of this award are simple. You may display this prestigious award on your blog or in your bathroom or nowhere at all. You do not need to do anything other than know in your blogger’s heart that I think you and your blog are fantastic. Mami likes you! Mami really likes you!

I present this award to the following blogs:

Keep in Touch With Mommakin: I found this blog pretty early on in my bloggy life thanks to a recommendation from Gibby and I am so grateful. Tammy is open-minded, smart, crafty, funny talented, and a damn good writer.

Single Mama NYC: Some day I’m going to write a post about how much we have in common. I’ll give you a teaser: not only do we share the same birthday, our children share the same birthday too. Crazy!

The Fifty Factor: What is there not to like about Joanna? Nothing.

latinmomof4punks: I love visiting her on Mondays for Latinmom’s Loco Lunes.

No excuse, No explanation..:Steven does Friday Phone Call’s and I am dying to act them out.

I have many, many more blogs that I want to give this award to, but I will only give this award to a few blogs at a time because I want you to take a few moments to visit the ones that are new to you; they are wonderful, you will like them too.

Lisa October 12, 2009 at 3:25 pm: Very cool that you created an award to pass around. I love the idea. Hey did you create your own nav bar? I want to know how to do that. I tried to make one but instead of going across it went down. Annoying. lol
lisleman October 12, 2009 at 4:11 pm: Always good to give a shout out to friends. I don't understand the awards with rules attached. Your no rules rule. Your 'Sundays in my city' are award worthy.
I like the flashing lettering on the button – good job
Yayaorangenanny October 12, 2009 at 4:24 pm: We'll see if my computer lets me comment here today. It's been hating on my Unknown Mami for some reason!
Green-Eyed Momster October 12, 2009 at 5:20 pm: Congrats to the winners and to you!
Joanna Jenkins October 12, 2009 at 6:09 pm: I like YOU, I really, really like YOU too!
Thanks for the great award. I'm flattered.

unknownmami October 12, 2009 at 6:58 pm: Sorry about the commenting issues. It's probably because I switched to Disqus. I hope it stops happening because you know I'm a comment whore. I was so happy to see it was your SITs day and birthday! I keep sending you positive orange thoughts.
unknownmami October 12, 2009 at 7:08 pm: You knew that before the award!
1rocky1 October 12, 2009 at 7:48 pm: Great award! Thanks for highlighting these sites.
littlemsblogger October 12, 2009 at 8:17 pm: I love Joanna and will check out some of the others you mention.
unknownmami October 12, 2009 at 9:32 pm: Lisa,
I tried a bunch of different instructions for creating the nav bar and these are the ones that worked the best for me:

Gibby October 13, 2009 at 2:07 am: We agree, Mommakin rocks! Can't wait to check out the other blogs, like your approach to the awards. (I never know what to do with them, either, but I have no idea how to create a cute button like you do!)
Multiple Personalities October 13, 2009 at 3:03 am: I think it's so great that you created your own award. I've been thinking of creating one myself. Very cool! Thanks for showing my boy some love on my blog, it was very nice of you!

bethakaconfusedhomemaker October 13, 2009 at 12:57 pm: I love it! Now I'll have to check out some new (to me) bloggers. If Mami says so, then I must obey
LatinMomof4Punks October 13, 2009 at 2:21 pm: Thanx for the comment! My Mom is “BAD”, but GOOD. :0) ~Amor, Familia Y Cultura~ Betty
Stacy (the Random Cool Chick) October 13, 2009 at 3:58 pm: I have the same rebel streak you do…probably why I like you so much!

Love the award you created – I'm off to check out the ones I'm unfamiliar with!
trudyseth October 13, 2009 at 4:48 pm: Congrats on the awards!
maggie October 13, 2009 at 5:01 pm: How very very cool of you. What a terrific way to share your favorites. I cannot beleive you and another share a birthday as do your children. I might have to stop by that one first. Thanks again Mami. Also, thanks for the advice on my mom. This new comment form rocks too!
stevenanthony October 13, 2009 at 5:22 pm: Oh mami, you like me, you really like me!

I love this award, and as soon as my computer is back and running I will post it with pride!

about 2 and 1/2 weeks left, and I will be back full force;)

until then, much love
Steven Anthony
Neva October 13, 2009 at 5:57 pm: Thanks for these, now following them all! And thanks for dropping by and commenting.
LadyDi October 13, 2009 at 7:20 pm: Hi Mami, I finally posted that crockpot recipe. Come check it out. Love the award, something to aspire to It's raining cats and dogs here in So. Monterey County. What's it like in the San Fran area? Have a great day.
Single Mama NYC October 13, 2009 at 7:29 pm: We have so many things in common that if we lived in alternate Universes, we'd BE each other. It's unbelievable.

Thanks for the award, Hermana! Of course, being so much alike I'm quite the rebel myself, so let's see what I do with your award. I'm thinking maybe I'll go to the t-shirt shop and have a shirt silk-screened with the award on it…
Cat October 14, 2009 at 3:43 am: I do something like this too on my blog, and funny enough for the same reason you are!! LOL. Mine is the Golden Nut award and like yours no strings attached!
Sophia's Mom October 14, 2009 at 4:18 am: Oh My God! I don't follow any of these blogs! What's wrong with me? I am off to check them out right now!
