Eu sou assim que honrado!

Isn’t that just the most tastefully decorated little blog award you ever did see?

My BFdJ (best friend du Jour) Nancy at Homemade Blessings has honored my blog with this lovely award.  I am so happy to accept this award and pass it on to a couple of the blogs I read.

Now, do any of you actually speak Portuguese?  Because this is the explanation that accompanies this award.

“This blog invests and believes, in ‘proximity’ [meaning, that blogging makes us 'close' - being close through proxy]. They are all charming blogs, and the majority of them aim to show the marvels of friendship; there are persons who are not interested when we give them a prize, and then they help to cut these bows; do we want that they are cut, or that they propagate? Then let’s try to give more attention to them! So with this prize we must deliver it to eight bloggers that in turn must make the same thing and put this text.”

Which is very nice, but I got a little confused in that part about the bows.  So, for some reason I thought it would clear things up if I sent it through Babelfish, and back again.  I know it sounds dumb when you read it, but this morning, before I had my coffee, it made sense, a little.  The result is lots of fun to read and actually aided me in shakin’ the cobwebs loose and waking up.

“This blogue invests and believes, in proximity of `[the meaning, of that blogging in them makes ' close' - being next with proxy]. Blogues is everything charming, and the majority of them white to show the wonders of the friendship; has people that they are not interested when we give a prize to them, and then help to cut these curves; we want that they are cut, or that they propagate? They leave us then to try to give to more attention! Thus with this prize we must deliver it eight bloggers to it that in turn they must make the same thing and for this text.”

So, now that I have read that, I understand the full intent of the award and the instructions for passing it along.  Now I can, with proxy  and charming  say to Nancy, “Mãe nenhuma cara do cão no remendo da banana!”

All silliness aside for a second.  Thank you, Nancy!  I am honored.

And I hope you understand that because we have the right to use Babelfish to translate things back and forth, we have the responsibility to do so.  For, if we do not exercise our silly translation rights, someone may soon be elected into office who will take away our right to play with the Babelfish translator and make complete fools of ourselves.  No, wait.  That’s homeschooling.  Never mind.

Now, since the instructions say to award eight other blogs, and I think you can divide that number by two for every time it went through Babelfish, (just go with me on this) and the answer is that I will now select 2  blogs to honor with this most prestigious award.

Momma Bug @ Momma Bug’s Blog- ‘Cuz she’s so much like me, only young.

Susan @ Simply Susan – ‘Cuz, um, she is also a lot like me, only younger (see, it’s like a theme), and she even resembles me (when I was younger).

And since I refuse to end a post on THAT note, here is a photo depicting the theme of a new e-book I’m considering writing called Elegant Physical Fitness for the Homeschooled Princess.

lol. I received this award this week as well, but I don’t understand it at all! Maybe “bows” was meant to be “ties?” People don’t want the awards and so they cut ties? I don’t know. It’s probably a web spy device. ;)

I like your blog. I’m going to go look around a bit more.
