I feel pretty! Oh, so pretty! I feel pretty and witty and bright!
That’s what being a Blogger of Note (or BON, as we like to say in the business) will do for you! Here’s what happened:
First, scathingly brilliant blogger Becky nominated me. Then, I had to send in three of my favorite posts. To wit:
What Not To Do Wednesday on the I Thing (’cause you know grammar is one of my things)
April 1st, Not Just for Fools Anymore (’cause I couldn’t leave out Sally the Crazy Dog)
Tuesday Tip: Just So You Know, I’m Taking Notes (’cause I had to throw something writerly in)
Then, I had to promise that for every day, rain or shine, up or down, in or out, I would sing at the top of my voice, a show tune from my vast repertoire.
Yeah, I know. I thought that was a little odd, too. But mine is not to question the wonderful folks over at Words of Wisdom. And I’d just like to extend a hearty welcome to any and all visiting folks who might be dropping in here today at the Hall of Fame. I hope you find something you like, and that you’ll come back often for a little writer wit and wisdom, such as it is.
In fact, I was going to draw a name this morning for Accidental Cowgirl, the memoir by Mary Lynn Archibald that I’m giving away. But I think I’ll wait one more day so that any of you fine folks who’d like to comment on that post will have a chance to win, too!
And now, if you’ll excuse me, I’ve got some loud singing to do. (I feel charming! Oh, so charming! It’s alarming how charming I feel! And so pretty, that I hardly can believe that it’s real!)
Cathy C. Hall Writes 
Well, I'd just like to say "Howdy," and you're my kind of folks. Show tunes? I live for 'em! Congrats on your BON mot, my friend…
Could it be? Yes, it could. Something's coming, something good, If I can wait! Something's coming, I don't know what it is, but it is gonna be great!
Thanks, Melissa! Bet you know where the Song of the Day is from.When I was in high school, I sang in a glee club and we sang that song A LOT. But we always had trouble remembering the order of "Such a pretty face, such a pretty dress, such a pretty smile" until we hit upon FDS-that feminine hygiene spray.Thank goodness, it was an all-girl school. But that's another story. 🙂
Hey Cathy,Congratulations on your award! I bet you're a great singer. Sadly, singing is not one of my gifts. During freshman year at my all-girls' school I was given the part of the Virgin Mary (a non-singing part). I think Sister Mary Fidelis didn't want me to open my mouth and ruin the songs.Hope you have a great weekend!Donna
…and now that song is in my head for the rest of the day. Gee, thanks, Cathy! :)Congrats on the award!
Congratulations on being featured! What fun! I'm off to read some of your suggested blog.PS. All those singing lessons obviously paid off. You have perfect pitch!
Doona, I had a Sister Fidelis-she taught me in high school-geometry. The singing went much better.Madeline, you're very welcome. It's a good song.And Jenny, thanks for dropping in! Oh, and thanks for the pitch compliment. Finally-someone noticed!
Cathy, Congratulations on your BON day! I always feel like such an insider when the BON is one I've already discovered. Now, I'm off to follow your links and discover more…
Congrats on being a BON! And keep singin'!
Congrats on your well deserved award! Now get back to singing.
Aw, thanks so much, y'all-for dropping in AND the kind words!(I've moved on to Wicked…Kiss me goodbye, I'm defying gravity-um, that may be the wine singing…)
Yes you are! Congratulations!!
happy belated bonday! sorry i didn't get here sooner. :]
Nice to meet you cathy and Congratulations on being a BON! I am enjoying exploring your blog – if you could just sing a little less loudly though – it is past ten pm here 🙂
Hahaha! Thanks again, y'all, for all the good wishes. And honestly, I'm thinking I should sing more often. (Though I'll try to keep it down. 🙂
