Award winning me!

Today, I've just won an award. Was it the Booker Prize you ask? Not the Nobel Prize for Literature, you gasp.

Nope! Even better. Penelope the cat has awarded me top achievement for - well, I'm not quite sure what it's for, but I'm happy to grab, sorry humbly accept, any award I can.



It is with great pleasure that I accept the "Kudo's from Penelope" Award. I've know Penelope since she was just a youngster and have always been one of her biggest fans. And if you're that one in a million person who doesn't know Penelope then you'll find her link over to your right (if the blog cleaners haven't tossed it out with the empty coke bottles and cup cake wrappers.)

This honour that Her Purrness has bestowed upon my humble self is in recognition of the fact that "I am back". Since the local shop no longer stocks cream filled apple donuts, there is not quite so much "back" as there used to be. But I am back even though the back is lesser. The back that I am is now stronger and more agile after strengthening and toning exercises at the tomato green house. There is nothing quite like pushing a trolley loaded with tomatoes to give the back that I am a new sense of purpose in life.


So - I'm back.

And while I'm here, I'd just like to thank Penelope, my blogging friends, my husband, my parents, my dogs, anyone who bought the book, the people who are GOING to buy the book, the people who bought the book and have since sold it on Trade Me, the people who will buy the book now that they don't have to buy any more Harry Potter books, the people who ...

Funny - my voice is echoing.

Is anyone there?

Penelope?

Anyone?

Oh!

Clap clap clap clap clap!

I'm SO glad you're back. Your award is well-deserved and I'm looking forward to hanging out again at your hospitable headquarters!

Now off to catch a plane, one of my least favorite activities on earth.

What an honour! **applause**
We all are glad you're back, even a wee bit jealous that there doesn't seem to be as much of you back as there was before you came back, at least, according to you...(how's that for convoluted!?)

Dawn said...

Thanks, ladies. I'm pleased to be back too!

Reb said...

Is anyone still here? Hello? Humph, late as usual! Congratulations Dawn and welcome back!

Michael said...

Haha! I'm jealous too...

Congrats, Dawn! And the cat in the picture ... well, I love cats. Whay can I say?

Thanks Reb and Michael. It is good to be back. I think the cat in the picture might have been the wonderful Miss Penelope herself.
