What Is She Thinking ?

I love MeMe's . . . especially MeMe's that have awards attached to them like this one...

Janet at Dancing Though has tagged me with The Thinking Blogger Award and I'm honored. Those who are amazed that such an award would end up at this place...it's because you are always wondering, "What Is She Thinking?"

The rules for accepting this award are:

1) If you get tagged, write a post with links to five (5) blogs that make you think.

2) Link to this post so that people can easily find the exact location of the MeMe.

3) Optional: Proudly display the Thinking Blogger Award with a link to the post that you wrote. (I'll be doing that as soon as I figure out how.)

Here are the five blog buddies I am tagging. They may have already received this, but because my schedule hasn't allowed much blog visiting for two weeks, I may have missed it. Just consider yourselves doubly tagged. Besides, in my estimation, you deserve it as many times as you are tagged.

Congratulations, you have won this:

Willowtree at A Dingo's Got My Barbie

Pamela at The Dust Will Wait

KarmynR at Dreaming What Ifs

Susan at Are We There Yet?

Robin at Pensive

All five of these Blog Buddies have been commenting at my place since the beginning of this Blog in August of 2006. They have given me much needed advice for many months. I'll not go into detail other than when you knock on their doorsteps, you will be warmly greeted with smiles, travels, history, games, children, puppy dogs and cats (ah-choo), and a wealth of knowledge. They will make you laugh and cry. It has been my pleasure to come to know all five of them, and I look forward to many more adventures waiting for me when I fly their way.

Now just for the heck of it, because I've never followed directions to any 'assignment,' I'm presenting the Swampwitch Award

to MARNIE because I admire her and she makes me laugh. Marnie, please accept "The Swampwitch Award" just because. There are no 'strings' attached. You don't have to tag anyone...heaven knows, no one would want this mug shot lingering on their side bars, just know that it's given with all my respect.

You have my permission to print it and use it on a dart board, to scare away bad dates, or to use in a Photo Shop class.  Everytime you have "Drunken Fruit Cake" you now have a visual aid to remind you of meteeheehee.

Should you decide to pass this Prestigious Award for Respect Caldron of Crapola on to someone else, be sure to share THIS SONG with them.

I'm thinking. I'm thinking.

Why Thank You My Dear.

but I have to say - the Swampwitch Award is by far the coolest I've seen yet.

[Susan in va]

Well, aren't you just the sweetest little thing? I am touched! And honored! Wow. What's funny is that I would have picked Robin, Karmyn, Pamela and WT, too!! They're all great.

You're the BOMB, Swampy! (I think that's a compliment - I keep hearing the kids say it.)

[Janet a.k.a Wonder Mom]

Love it.

You so deserve to me recognized!!! Enjoy!!!

[Pendullum]

Congrats on the award...
I am off to check out your nominees!!!
What fun... More great reads...
Laundry/smaundry...
D'are are blogs to be read!!!!

[Robin]

Swampeeeeeeeeeyyyyyy, I've been gone all day and for the five minutes I'm home before turning around and flying (on a broom?) outta here, I find this?????

Nothing but smiles between Colorada and Tennessee right now. Thank you, my sweet witcharita! My tank's plum full. And what makes this (ahem) award even sweeter, is the company you chose for me to enjoy the honor. They're at the top of the heap, if you know what I mean.

Ok....I just popped in 'cause you told me to...hugs and more hugs from me to you!!!

LOL, PETER, YOU GOT AN AWARD WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT!!! I LOVE IT! ;) :)

[swampy]

KARMYNR: Glad you like your honor...have already received several e-mails about the Swampwitch Award that make me think I may bestow this on a few others in the upcoming few weeks. Who knows? You may end up with a cauldron full of crapola dumped your way.

SUSANinVA: I like being the bomb...better that being the boob...Let me know when your post is up so I can see who makes your noggin' think.

JANET: Thanks again for the MeMe Tag.

PENDULLUM: Yes d'are. What laundry?

ROBIN: When one is a wicharita, does that mean she can have a margarita? Would that make her a drunkarita? I mean really, anyone who would take up a challenge from a witch she's never met, has to receive something. It ain't easy bein' green.
And as for DubYaT, don't you just love it when we get his tail feathers ruffled? ..or is it pantie$ in a wad?

[Susan in va]

I've done the deed, Swampy. Stop by and see.

[Simply Jenn]

Hi there Swampy! Would you believe I was cruising through your blog today after your comments on WT's? I've been reading his for awhile and your comments are always hilarious. Thanks for stopping by! And boy do I love me some Oscar!!!

[min]

Ha-ha! Robin didn't win! Robin didn't win!
Oh...wait a minute...missed that part. Wah, wah, waaah...I'm outta here.

[Robin]

Min, YOU KEEP FORGETTING I'M ON YOUR STAFF!

Swampy, I think you made him cry...WITH JOY! I'd have to agree, the pirateman sure has made me think about more than a few things that I wouldn't otherwise :).

[swampy]

SUSANinVA: You are fast, gal ! Your list looks so familiar.

SIMPLY JEN: Glad you stopped by. Will fly over tomorrow.

MIN: You know, limiting me to 5 was tough, so I just went with the 5 who started commenting on my very first post and who have stayed with me through thick and thin. I have The Swampwitch Award reserved for your kind of blog buds. Hang onto your hat and shoes and testicles for upcoming Caldron Crapola. You are on the list.

ROBIN: It was a no-brainer...I leave his place going, "huh"...then head to Wikipedia all the time.

[Pamela]

there's nothing better than a witch award. And I don't care witch award it is... (:

None of knew what we were indulging in when we stepped out into the blogosphere.

How blessed we've all been.
The True Award is in finding friendship - encouragement - inspiration - gut wrenching laughter, and gut wrenching tears.

thank you swampy!!!

[marnie]

I knew being a noodle head would pay off!

I would like to thank the Academy.. woops wrong speech.

I would like to thank Willowtree for egging me on and Melissa for helping me hone my mad snide skills. Without them I would be nothing. I'd also like to thank my parents for their X and Y chromosomes and for doing the hanky panky so I could experience life. I would also like to thank Kobe for swallowing a razorblade and giving me lots of blogging material.

Swampy, you are one cool chick. I'd like to thank you for getting me drunk of fruitcake. I will always be grateful for that.

As soon as I can figure out how to attach Cruella to my sidebar, I will wear my Swampy Noodle Head Award with pride.

[Melissa]

Hi Swampy, thanks for coming by. I come here all the time and I'm just kind of bad at commenting. I promise I'll stop doing that.

Love your Swampy award. Marnie is most worthy!

[beccy]

It's all been said above, totally agree with oyur nominations and as for the Swampy award-fantabulous!

[Little Miss Moi]

Dear swampy. I'd rather have a swampy award any day than be accused of thinking heehe.

[Sally]

Ah that's lovely! Good idea to invent your own awards!!!

[Tiggerlane]

A Swampy Award? Well, I think I've already won. Your tips for my trip to D.C. were invaluable!! And the tapas at Jaleo were incredible, though I had to convince my friend NOT to order the blood sausage. Thanks again for your assistance!

[BarnGoddess]

The Swampwitch Award rocks! good one :)

I also think you deserve to be recognized, your blog is unique and your posts are randomly great.

Have a super Easter

[Vicki]

Marnie is the bestest and the award you gave her is perfect.

[chris B]

Hi you are also one of my nominees for this award and I see you have given the award to Pamela who was another of my choices. I love all your choices.

A swampy award- I can see you could be a trend setter.

[wolfbaby]

hey congrats... and love the swampy award so cool;)

[Susan in va]

I just scrolled down and read the b-day post - it was BEAUTIFUL! I was brought to tears.

[Stephanie]

Dang, you thinkin' people!!

I feel like I checked my brain in for stretchmarks.

*SIGH*

The Swampy Award and accompanying song are the COOLEST!!!

And I have a new bathtime song to sing to Baby Bethy!

*singing*
Swamp mush-y mud-dy!!!
