Just so You Know… An Award
Monday, March 28, 2011
This is the beginning of the last week, the last week before we begin the A-Z Challenge. I wanted to clean house before this challenge began so today I will clean my preverbal blog house.
First on my list of cleaning will be to dust off this lovely award and pass it on. The lovely Liz over at 8-Bit Words felt me worthy. What a wonderful friend and follower she has been, please hop on over and meet her.
Since I have already received this award I will be doing no more telling of truths and lies. It does require the receiver to tell 4 truths and 1 lie. I am passing it on to 5 beautiful bloggers and they are….
Gail @ The Farm
Melissa @ Melissa's Imaginarium
Tracy @ My Thoughtful Spot
February Grace @ Pitch Slapped
Olivia @ The Rebel with a Blog
Now for the rest of my house cleaning. I think the best way to do this is in a “Just so you know” fashion. Without further ado, Just so you know…
Just so you know… I will be participating in the A-Z Challenge, however, I have other reasons for doing so.
Just so you know… When I signed up for the challenge I thought I was being a part of the group. Now I’m asking myself, “Why, you have never been a part of a group?” Stress I guess.
Just so you know… I am not participating to collect followers. I value my followers immensely and love each and every one for visiting and commenting. I need to comment back, so give me a way to do so.
Just so you know… I do not follow just because you follow me. I need to have a reason; good interesting posts, something funny, something sad, but mostly something real. Make it real folks.
Just so you know… I am in a numb stage right now. So much happening I just cannot keep up with the thoughts in my head.
Just so you know… I will not even begin to pretend I can make it through 600 new blogs. I do hope to make some new friends and be a part of the challenge. But in saying that..
Just so you know… as it stands right now, I will not deviate from my post schedule. Honestly I have tried to compose posts in advance but it just has not worked out.
Just so you know… any and all of the above is subject to change at any given moment.
Just so you know… we have gone CRAZY here in Kentucky. Final Four Bound!!
Peace…

Great to catch up. You almost have me convinced to join the challenge too!
I love your Just So You Know posts. Thanks you for honoring me with this award, you're the best. And congrats on receiving it, as well.
Congrats to your Wildcats, they've been playing amazing bball. I'm pulling for them to go all the way. Just so you know. :)
I, too, am participating in the A to Z Challenge, hoping to build some blogging muscle (of the daily variety), meet some new friends, and, yes, I admit it, pick up a few more followers. Cause, after all, isn't that How I Met You? Hmm, I believe so.
Love you, too, my friend, that rebel, Olivia
Just so you know, glad you're participating!
And what a wild Final Four.
Just to let you know I think you are a very good blogging friend.
Congrats on the award well deserved.
Yvonne.
Wonderful post Jules! Sorry I had a late start this morning. But I can't wait to see what you do for the A-Z challenge.
Congrats! :O)
Congrats on the new award and CONGRATS ON Kentucky being in the Final Four!! Woot Hoot!!! I've always loved college basketball and this time of year!!
I Love you blog, writting and the fact that you are so REAL my friend!!! It's such a pleasure and honor to able to be a part of your blogging life!!! Love ya!
Have a wonderful week, Jules!!!
Hugs,
Coreen XOXO
Congrats on all the positive things. We need excitement and happiness in our life.
I commend you for being so genuine. I will follow the challenge to the letter, but I won't change the type of post I do. Except for Mondays. There are no plots that fall on a Monday's letter of the alphabet.
I just learned about a friend who is starting to make money on Amazon kindle. She has 7 books out.
Cheers,

Congrats on the award. And just so you know, I'm excited about the challenge as well.
Congrats to you and the new winners of the award!
I agree with you, I don't follow a blog just b/c they follow me. I try, but if it's just not something I can embrace, I don't.
Have fun with the Challenge. Was thinking about participating but if I commit to anything else my head will explode. Maybe next year.
Feeling any better? Hope so!
Take care,
Karen
Congratulations on the award!
I signed up for the A-Z Challenge as well. I agree--a blog must have something real to it, to be worth following.
Love you too. :)
Yay you! Life itself is rather subject to change, so why not blogging "rules"? I'm really happy that you're participating though, and looking forward to it. I am embarrassed to admit that I have no idea what Final Four means, so you may just have to unfollow me ;) See you on A day (I hope). x
I love you, too, Jules and thank you so much for thinking of me with this wonderful award. I am honored to receive it.
I'm getting more nervous about A to Z as the week progresses. I have ideas for a central theme, but we'll see how it turns out.
Congrats to you and Kentucky!!! Final Four is awesome. My Illini bowed out in Round 2. :( Best of luck as the tourney rolls on.
Looking forward to seeing your A to Z posts! It's going to be quite an event. :)
Just so you know, there are now over 700 participants! I still not sure why exactly I signed up either, but I did.
Hello Jules. Thanks for the rundown. Now I know, ha ha. I'm planning to visit about 10 other A - Zers every day if I can.
Patricia Cornwell's latest? I left the link at Clarissa's. I collaborate on a book review blog, Reading at Dawn. Just posted the review earlier today:

If you get there, leave a short comment so I know what you think. Thanks!

The Mematastic Award ... very cool. Well deserved I might add.
Ooooh, a pretty award I haven't seen yet. Congrats!
I saw a post this morning that said there are over 750 signed up for the challenge now. I'm happy for you guys that it's so epic, but I'll be watching from over here. ;)
Just so you know, I love how honest and assertive sentences that start with "just so you know" sound. I might have to practice "just so you know more often.
Congratulations on the award! - G

Congrats Jules! Oh my, I see I have a lot of catching up to do here. Just so you know, I'm going to reserve some time just for you. (Those Regional games in NH were like the final four!) I'm getting back in gear... ;)
