Pagan Sphinx of the blog of the same name has graciously bestowed these awards on me. I am so appreciative, Pagan Sphinx! This is what she said:

"The Teach at Work of the Poet - I don't know The Teach very well, but I have to give her the awards simply because she hosts Ruby Tuesday, which brings me so much satisfaction weekly! You rock, Teach!"

I think Pagan Sphinx and I are getting to know each other better even in just the last few days! Thanks Sphinx, YOU rock!

I want to pass these awards on to a few VERY special people who over the last week or so have shown how much they care about me and understand. They have taken time out to commiserate with me on certain issues and I really, really appreciate it!

Travis of Trav's Thoughts

Gattina of Writer Cramps

Dianne of Forks off the Moment

Bond of The Big Leather Couch

Cool Cat Award

Siani has created a new award and has given it to me and a number of other "cool" bloggers. I am so proud to be called a "Cool Cat!" I can't thank you enough Siani!

I think I'm allowed to pass it on to others that I think are "cool":

Leon of World So Wide
Meloncutter of Meloncutter Musings
Sandee of Comedy Plus
Sandy Carlson of Writing In Faith
Chuck of Foster Me Up

These are the "coolest" bloggers I know!

Two Great Blog Awards

Jos and Sandee have awarded me the awards above. Thanks so much guys!

The "rules" for passing on the Laurel and Hardy - You Rock My Socks Award are simple: all I am asking is a link back or a comment to this post..

The "rules" for passing on Mr. Present are that you write some accompanying lines about the blogs or bloggers you pass him on to.

Incidentally, they come with easy instructions, not like many other Christmas presents that are hard to assemble, so if you receive one of these gifts, read the following instructions: "If it's your turn to choose one, two, or all three of these gifts to adopt, and decide to pass them on, please pass them to the most magical and imaginative blogs on the internet. Blogs that encourage, year round, the same energetic and imaginative sense of wonder that is apparent throughout the Christmas season." (Mr. Present idea from Ann of A Nice Place in the Sun)

So I pass Mr. Present on to:

Tisha @ CrAzY Working Mom
Tisha is a "crazy" lady who writes humorously about her family and her kids. Lots of photos and jokes to keep any visiting blogger/reader interested. She's a sweet and kind person.
Ian @ EDog's Everything Page
Ian's a great guy, a great writer and a blogger par excellence. Thanks Ian I appreciate all the friendly words and comments over the last few months that we've come to know each other. He says he's obnoxious ad opinionated but he's really a pussy cat!
Sarge @ Sarge Charlie
Sarge is a real soldier. We seem to be on opposite sides of the political continuum but that doesn't stop us from sharing our points of view. Check out his blog, he's not afraid to speak his mind!
