I am blogger hear me roar

{Alright, I coached myself for this: stand up straight, smile, don't roll your eyes. Say thank-you. Resist the urge to bow down and cry out "I'm not worthy! I'm not worthy!"}
Thank you, Kelly A, for sending a *roar* my way. I'm happy to be recognized for keeping it real, and I'm grateful to be accepted for who I am. Awhile ago I mentioned my blog to someone, and she said, "Oh, you're one of those." Proudly, yes I am. Lucy nominated several of the same bloggers that I want to nominate in the spirit of keeping it real:
Kelly - you have the best blogging material in your real life.
Marie - you are almost too good to be true, but since you really are that good your blog is real.
Jane - you are the voice of reason.
April - I appreciate your campaign for real beauty in individual words.
Kathryn - okay you're a professional and you don't need another award, but I'm proud to have had you babysit my children back in the day, and I especially appreciated your real post on being positive.
No acceptance speech required, but let out a roar if you like.
