Over the Top Award (Ah, shucks, for me?)

Hey, yeah, I know that I already posted once today. But I have something to share!

Leslie over at Something Brilliant is Brewing and Jogging Auburn over at The Quest for a Mile were both kind enough to give me the "over the top" award for my blog.

When you accept this award, you must: A) post one word answers to 35 questions and, B) Pass the award on to 6 other blogs. Since I received the award twice, I will pass it on to 12 blogs. This will be tough, as I read a lot of blogs and love THEM. I am trying to focus on people who don't already have the award and also people whom I note leave a lot of comments for fellow bloggers, as it it is time-consuming to leave a lot of support for others while maintaining your own blog and doing everything else that you need to do in life.

Another issue is, some of the blogs I read are by guys and they are good about leaving motivation for me and for many others, so I wanted to give them the award. I wondered if because the artwork on the award is a female if that meant it's a female award or if a guy wouldn't want to post it on his blog.

I asked DH's opinion and he said that it is based on weight loss and support, not on gender, race or anything like that, and that I should give it to Josh and other bloggers whom I admire, irregardless of gender. I will take his advice, even though it's coming from a guy who just bought a purple Ipod. LOL
