Irish Blog Award Nominations

February 20th, 2010

I see the list of nominations is up for the Irish Blog Awards.

I was a little bit disappointed to see that I failed to get nominated under the Best Beauty/Fashion Blog as there is at least one site in there I would love to hammer into the ground [no names – no pack drill! Heh!].

I was more than surprised to see that I slid in under four categories which I did not expect – Best Personal Blog, Best Humour Blog, Best Political[?!!] Blog and Best Blog Post.  Our K8 is in there too, so I’ll collect her gong for her when I’m there.

Nominated under three different categories?

To whoever nominated me – thank you very much.

I am humbled.

I am flattered.

I am a little embarrassed.

I am more than a little pleased as well.

The start of a new life

February 20th, 2010

I woke up this morning, which wasn’t easy after a bottle of best champagne and a bottle of whiskey last night, and realised that this is the first day of a new life.

After all, it is not every day one wakes up for the first time as an official pensioner?  Not that I feel any different, but fuckit, I can now put pensioner down as my official occupation.

I had my mug of tea, and fed the guinea swine and then had a browse of the Interweb.  One of the first things to pop up was a post on one of my regular reads.

After a very long and difficult journey, Xbox is a daddy at long last!!

Sanne

It sort of puts my new life into perspective when Sanne is really starting hers.

I am thrilled for them.  Their journey has been full of disappointments and difficulties, but Xbox has brought us with him on that journey with courage and humour.

So get your arses over there to Xbox4NappyRash and congratulate them.
