Shouting Out to Some Special Bloggers
Sunday, March 22, 2009
Presenting Lenore—oh, Presenting Lenore. She adorned me with a zombie chicken award (yeah, you read that right) and asked me to pass it on. I love Lenore—so smart, so unblinking, so quick on her feet, so adventurous (plus, she loves sushi).
But: To win an award means one should pass the award along, and I've always sidestepped this. I only have one son. I've only had one husband. I only ever had one cat. I can't do the favorites thing. I'm constitutionally incapable.
But I can tell you, as I do in this video, about some of the bloggers who mean a lot to me. I'd list them out here, all properly URLed and stuff, but then what would be your motivation to watch this little vlog? Truly.
Oh man, I hate already all the names I couldn't fit in, like Little Willow (oh my gosh, she's smart, LW, you are right here in my heart), and Ink Mage (so dear), and Jen Robinson and Finding Wonderland (both indispensible), but wanted to so badly. All right, and while I'm at it: The 3 Rs, Shelf Elf, Saints and Spinners, The Holly and the Ivy, Doret, Not The Rockefellers, Juliet Colours, SolvangSherrie, MariReads, SeptemberMom, Kristen, and yup, here you have it, from the horse's mouth itself: There are so many smart women out here that I (with my limited math ability) can't enumerate them all.
(Forgive me.)

This is brilliant! Thanks for playing along. :)
Yay! Zombie Chicken Dance!
Awww, thanks, Beth. That's sweet. And funny. Your little vlog brightened my day.
Beth, you just made my day. Thank you so much!
You are so sweet! And I must check out all of these bloggers. And I adore Lenore, too!
I've discovered many of these blogers thanks to you, and what a joy it is to read them regularly. Thank you for the shout-out on a day when I needed a little pick-me-up.
And if you hear Betty, Boo and me laughing hysterically this evening, you'll know we're doing the chicken dance in your honor.
Woot! I love your vlogs, Beth.
And I'm honored (truly) to be among your favorites - thanks so much for the shout-out, sista. And right back at ya, of course.

P.S. I think the Zombie Chicken Award should come with a costume, but maybe that's just me.
THANK YOU Beth! *does a zombie chicken dance*
You know I love your vlogs, too. You're so full of goodness,Beth. Today, on Zombie Chicken Dance Day, I'll be dancing to Bruce Springsteen's "This Life" in your honor.
hugs~
Well, in middle school I wasn't very well-adjusted, so I might not have helped much. I got better in high school.
Thank you so much for the mention! :)
Beth, there aren't words to describe you, but I think "lovely" comes quite close.
You are officially on my favorite author list... and there's only three up there :)
and YES, isn't Lenore just amazing!
I'm kvelling over the fact the you mentioned me in your blog.
That's just...wow!
Pinch me.
Peace - Rene
i loved it- what a great idea
Thanks so much! I haven't heard of several of those bloggers, so I'll have to check them out.
Thanks from me too! I will also be checking out the other blogs you mention...
Well, you made my day with this warm and funny video...I'm so honored to be mentioned! Actually, I'm thrilled enough to do my approximation of the zombie chicken dance. Now, I'm not much of a dancer, so it might look a little funny - but I'll have a great time doing it (in your honor, of course!)
We totally would brave a pack of zombie chickens to get our fix of your blog. The award is well-deserved. And I thank you for the mention!
Beth, thank you so much for your kind thoughts about all of your blogging "buddies". I always enjoy visiting your blog. I know that I grow a little more as a writer when I learn as I read your writing. You display a generous spirit in your support of all of us. Thanks!!
Haha, aren't you wonderful?! I'm catching up on some blogging and your video was a fabulous way to wind down my day. *does a little chicken dance* :)
Hey, wow. This was kind of like having a party, and I'm so glad that all of you could come.
I've been practicing my zombie chicken dance all day/all night. Ouch. My neck is hurting!!
:)
Happiness to all.
No, thank YOU for making our lives richer. All of you books and your blogs and vlogs focus details that might otherwise be missed, and when you bring them into the light, they become special to me. More noticed. Appreciated. And that makes my life more full because I don't pass by the small things that matter.
Beth! I really AM airbourne at the moment - thank you so much. I just about fainted clean away when I heard the Armadillo being mentioned, but I pulled myself together sufficiently to watch and listen as you told us about all the amazing, inspiring people who have touched your world. I just can't express how honoured I am to have been included amongst the blogs you enjoy.
I'm flapping my wings like a mad bird and shall continue to do so all day long! Thank you, Beth.
Woot, woot! To the zombie chicken dance! Thanks for the shout out--how wonderful to be in such fantastic company.
Anna Lefler: I'd love to see that Zombie Chicken Award costume.
Beth: I couldn't choose just 10 either! Thank you for enriching my life, too.

Thanks, Beth, for the mention of FW!! This is all lovely.
Thanks for the mention in your vlog & the kind words about my writing and blog!! And for all the others. Some of them I already follow but I'm going to check out the rest!
THANK YOU, BETH! Love you and your work so much!
