Happy Tuesday
everyone! This is an exciting day at
Barking from the Bayou. We are handing
out our first awards. Last week I
received three awards from one of my favorite bloggers, Jenna from Love Is Being
Owned By A Husky http://ownedbyahusky.blogspot.com/. It was the first awards that I have received
for my blogging so it really meant the world to me. The rules for bestowing these awards on
others seemed pretty loose with no set number of recipients. I had a very difficult time choosing whom to
honor because there are so many great bloggers in my community. If I awarded all of my favorite blogs, my
list would be ridiculously long! The
only stipulation was with the Liebster Award, which is for new blogs.
The Liebster
requires me to share five things that most people don’t know about me. Well, that’s kinda awkward but rules are
rules so…
1. I have known my husband since I was 5 years
old. He was my older brother’s best
friend since they were in the 4th grade. We will be married 32 years this June.
2. I coached cheerleading for 15 years. I coached beginning with kindergarteners and
followed them up through high school. I
coached the Varsity squad for the last 5 of those years.
We cheered at games and were a competitive squad. I took two squads to the national level of
competing. (I know drama and hormonal
teenage girls waaaay too well!)
3. I was president of my children’s school PTA
at the same time Bill Clinton (no relation) was the U.S. President. This makes me the FIRST female President
Clinton (not Hillary, just in case). We
would send out mailers stating that President Clinton would speak at our
meetings!
4. I’ve seen both Queen and Pink Floyd in
concert. (It was a big deal in the 70’s!)
5. I was a Directory Assistant operator (411)
before computers. We used huge phone
books to look up telephone numbers. (I
can still find numbers at lightning speed.
A useless talent until your cellphone dies!)
Now that you know some truly useless facts
about me, let’s get to the awards!!

ReplyDeleteI'm so jealous that you got to see Queen in concert!
Thanks and you are welcome. I love to read about Leroy & Sherman. I would love to bury my head in their thick fur and snuggle with them. They are just adorable, even if Leroy is a "rock star." Seeing Queen in concert will always be one of the highlights of my past. It was without a doubt the BEST concert ever. Of course, they will always be my favorite group. : )

Now I'm going to check out your video on how to make a Tulle collar ;)
Thank you so much for the awards , that is so nice of you to share them with us !
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your wonderful and well-deserved awards, and thank you so very much for the truly lovely Excellence award! Your Liebster facts are so much fun. My human mommy is quite jealous that you attended a Queen concert and we both wonder if, as with former U.S. presidents, we should continue to refer to you as President Clinton. ;-)
