EEK I am so excited! I logged on to find an exciting email from my good friend , teeni ;saying that I had an award! So off I went to investigate..
I have gotten a Schmoozer award! Here is the definition;
“Schmoozing, as defined by Dictionary.com is the ability “to converse casually, especially in order to gain an advantage or make a social connection.” When it comes to blogging, schmoozing is your ticket to making new friends, getting yourself noticed and building a reputation. Some blogger’s are gifted with the ability to effectively schmooze and others not so much. “
Guess that I am a Schmoozer then!
This originally comes from mike and the thinking bloggers award.
I now have to pass on the award to five worthy fellow bloggers;
Tine : I met her at Blog city..she writes winningly and well about her life and family in Belgium, and takes award winning photos to compliment her posts.
Julia : One of my first commenters; a warm and funny lady who is an high school teacher of English. She always has encouraging and interesting things to say, and her own blog is full of good posts…
Cal ;Another fun and interesting poster who lives in the UK. Her life as a librarian assistant is not always easy! Her photos are wonderful!
Penny
Another Brit; she is always interesting and often excruciatingly funny in a very dry, modest way.
Another witty lady who lives in the SF area. She writes about family and issues to which we can all relate
So off to spread their award news!

Congratulations, Merri!! I won this award too, and it was a lot of fun choosing recipients (although it was difficult to choose!!) … seems there are a lot of schmoozers out there!
wow! Thank you! This really comes as a surprise to me
It will take a few days before i’m going to award five people on my blog which really isn’t easy. I don’t want to hurt anybody because they are all very special to me, otherwise I wouldn’t read them. I didn’t knew you read my blog so often
Hi Hannah and thanks, congratulations to you too!
LOL, yes I guess all of us bloggers are schmoozers at heart!
Hi Tine!
Oh good!
I sent you an message as I didn’t realise you had visited me today!
So disregard it..lol.
(I just got in from work..)
I always visit your blog, I really enjoy it!
yes it IS hard to pick people as you don’t want to hurt others..
take care!
Oh, thank you, Merri! I am so honored to receive your award. It is a bit ironic that I now have that not-so-nice post. I just needed to practice a bit of nastiness, you know. Thank you again, dear. You are a great schmoozer BTW!
On another note, I also love The Great Gatsby. I remember exactly where and when I saw it in the theater and have watched the video version four or five times since that time. It matches the spirit of the book so well.
You are really welcome Julia!
LOL..there is NOTHING wrong with honest opinions!
Many thanks!
Yes I think so! It’s just one of those classics!
Glad to see you off and running with the award and passing it on. This really is kind of fun. I will check out your recipients’ sites as soon as I finish making my regular rounds!
It is!
thanks so much again!
I have to check out yours too(gosh now where is the time! LOL)
Thank you so much, Merri
It’s a tough job to decide who I should pass the award to so it may take me awhile.
Hi Cal! You are welcome! Yes it is hard deciding, isn’t it!
take care..
Hello Merri – thank you for the award – I flew over and collected it earlier this afternoon. I have now nominated and notified some of my favourite fellow schmoozers. Thanks for your kind words …. It’s still raining this side of the water – although did have a few brief hours of sunny summer weather yesterday afternoon. Hope you had a good weekekend. x
PS – I have no idea how to insert a smiley face or I’d send you one – you’ll have to do with the old fashioned kind
Oh – what a surprise – now I know !! ;–)
Hi Penny! Sorry I didn’t have your name ..I will change that!
You are most welcome!
I always enjoy your blog !
I looks like it wants to rain here; huge thunderheads are everywhere as it has been so warm.
I had a good weekend but worked(yikes..lol)
LOL..about the smily face; I didn’t know at first either!
How wonderful and most certainly deserved!!!!
HUGS
Eva
