50,000 big ones!

I have been neglectful in my duties.  My duties of passing on the bling.  Well, actually...  I wasn't the one bein' neglectful.  Ol' peepers has made a few disparaging remarks, implying that the neglect was mine but we all know that it was all her fault.  We know this because it's always her fault.  You know what they say...  when in doubt, blame the peep!  Everyone says it so it has gotta be true and that's a fact.

You all know my pal Basil, right?  He writes the amazing blog, Basil the Bionic Cat's Blog.  Well, a while back, Basil honoured me with the Bestest Kitty Blogger in the Cosmos Award.  What a neat name, huh?  You get this award and boom!  Bam!  You're one of the bestest kitties in the whole wide cosmos.  That's like the universe or something.  Neat!  Thank you so much Basil.  What a great pal you are.

When one receives the Bestest Kitty Blogger in the Cosmos Award, one has to do only one thing and that thing is to pass the award along to at least five other bloggers.  Basil created this award so that we would all "share the love across the interwebs."  Those are his words, not mine, but boy are they ever good ones.  So I am officially passing the Bestest Kitty Blogger in the Cosmos Award to...

And the winners are...
- Pillster @ Pillster's Pages
- Patchy Meow @ The Five Cats Chronicles
- Dash @ Dash Kitten
- Purrla @ Singapore Kitty
- Angel @ angelswhisper2011
- Felix & Jasper @ Felix and Jasper Blogalot

Next thing I knew, my pal Pillster, over at the fantastic blog Pillster's Pages presented me with the Inspiring Blog Award.  Does that mean that he finds my blog inspiring?  I hope so.  Pillster, I am honoured.  Thank you so much.

In accepting the Inspiring Blog Award, all one must do is pass it along.  That's right, just pass it along to deserving recipients.  Pillster didn't say how many or anything so I'm gonna choose six.

And the winners are...
- Sushi @ Sushi's Diary
- Texas @ Texas, a Cat in New York
- Selina @ One Eye on the Future
- Bumpy @ Mr Bumpy's Cat
- Brian @ Brian's Home
- Pasha @ Pasha

But Pillster didn't stop there.  He also awarded me with the Purrime Ministerette of Planet Purrth Award.  What a fancy schmancy name for a fancy schmancy award.  Now, there are some rules that go with this award and, unfortunately, I'm not quite sure I understand them all.  It's a little embarrassing to admit but I just don't.  I'm not entirely to blame for this however because firstly, when I received the award, I believe I was still on pain meds for my knee.  You remember what happened to my knee, right?  And secondly, if anyone is to blame, all paws should be pointed at the peep.  Remember, when in doubt, blame the peep!  Works every time.

My pal Pillster writes, "In their infinite wisdom, the Purrime Ministerettes have made seven rules with which we have to comply to formally accept the award:"

1.  Bow for your Purrime Ministerettes and confirm on your blog
     you have done so.
2.  Show a picture of you watching Purrime Ministerette movies.
     Pictures or it didn't happen.
3.  Tell Planet Purrth that it needs a change and explain what kind
     of change you have in mind.
4.  Ask your Purrime Ministerettes what you never dared to ask
     before.
5.  Bow again for your purrime Ministerettes and confirm on your blog you have done so.
6.  Forward the Purrime Ministerette of Planet purrth Award to at least 3 other blogging anipals.
7.  Do not chance the rules without explicit written Purrime Ministerette purrmission.

Well, you read 'em just as I read 'em.  Hope you can do a better job than I but here goes...

Firstly, I bowed.  Yes, I bowed and I'm confirming that now.  Secondly, I'm supposed to watch a movie but I don't think Stephen Harper has done any movies.  That's why I couldn't take a picture.  Sorry 'bout that.  Thirdly, I've gotta tell Planet Purrth that it needs to change something.  Hmmm...  I know!  I think Planet Purrth needs to change the rule 'bout not changin' these rules 'cause I'm trying not to do so but I have a sneaky suspicion that I'm screwin' something up here.  Sorry 'bout that but...  you know...  stuff happens.  Fourthly, I'm gonna ask what I have never dared to ask before.  Okay, I'm gonna ask the Purrime Ministerettes how it was that a senator was appointed to represent a province who didn't really live in the province he was supposed to represent.  Actually, I'd really appreciate an answer on that one.  I just bowed again.  That takes care of rule number five.  I'll skip down to rule number seven and apologise again if I messed up the rules.  And now back to rule number six.

And the winners are...
- Spitty @ Spitty Speaks
- Sammy @ onespoiledcat
- Felix & Jasper @ Felix and Jasper Blogalot

Now, I have one more award to present.  It's a very special award.  It's a brand spankin' new award.  I would like to introduce to the world-wide blogosphere, the MY FAVOURITE THINGS AWARD.
Ta-dah!!! 

The MY FAVOURITE THINGS AWARD was created by yours truly to celebrate a milestone of mine.  That milestone would be fifty thousand hits to my blog.  That's right...  fifty thousand big ones!  Yoo-hoo!  YOO-HOO!!!

There are some things one must do in acceptin' this award but they're pretty simple things.  All one must do is thank the blogger who gave you the award and put in a little linky to their blog, on yours.  Then post the award on your blog and tell all your readers what your six favourite things are.  And finally, pass the award on to as many bloggers as you would like.  It could be just a couple or lots and lots.  Whatever tickles your whiskers.

As I'm startin' this off, I'll tell you all what my six favourite things are.
1.  Nip.  Bet you knew that, right?
2.  My peeps.
3.  My pals.
4.  My fur family.
5.  Playin' in my garden.
6.  My all-fixed-up knee.

Now I'm gonna pass the award on and the winners are...
- Herman @ It's a Wonderpurr Life
- Spitty @ Spitty Speaks
- Savvy @ Savannah's Paw Tracks
- Sammy @ onespoiledcat
- Katie @ Katie Isabella
- Katie & Waffles Too @ GLOGIRLY
- Nellie @ Cat from Hell
- Mario @ Mario's Meowsings
- Speedy @ Speedy the Cheeky House Bunny
- Basil @ Basil the Bionic Cats Blog
- Simba @ Simba's Antics
- da tabbies @ TROUT TALKIN TABBIES

So there you have it, my friends.  Four awards bein' handed out to some pretty amazing bloggers.  CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL THE WINNERS!

And I just wanna add that I would have liked to have handed out the MY FAVOURITE THINGS AWARD to many, many more blogs.  But I figured that if I gave it to everyone, then there would be no one left to give it to.  Know what I mean?  I sure do hope all the recipients pass it around the blogosphere so that everyone gets their paws on it and gets to add it to their blogs.

  24. Dear Cod, Nerissa! Two awardies??? I am not worthy. No really, I am not--I have like 5 awards in my draft blogger folder that jump up and curse at me every day I don't post about them, ha ha ha! and sadly, it's been a lotta days! Now there are 2 more and pretty soon they're gonna form a tiny and angry army and kill me. Seriously. I'm a goner.

    Thanks though--I am blushingly grateful!

  27. Nissy! My goodness friend of mine - you certainly have piled on the bling haven't you! And how kind of you to pass a couple more blingy-rings on to yours truly. If I can figure out the rules on that Prime Ministerette one I will (!!!) and the other one will be easy peasy. Thanks my good buddy - you're the BESTEST and I congratulate you for having so many friends who obviously adore you - like me and my Mom do!

    Kitty Hugs, Sam
