Just When You Think You’re…

Filed under: Blogging — holly.schwendiman @ 7:22 pm

I’ll let the reader fill in the blank here. I realized a little bit ago that I’m pretty slow these days. I was thinking I was doing a fair job keeping up on my blog reads, etc. But I missed something last week in one that I read. The funny thing is that I know I read it because I commented on it but today I happened to notice something I’d missed before. My friend Angel wasn’t just being nice, she was forwarded a blog award to me. Boy do I feel sheepish!

Apparently, I’m good at schmoozing:

“As it goes, schmoozing is the natural ability “to converse casually, especially in order to gain an advantage or make a social connection.” Good schmoozers effortlessly weave their way in and out of the blogosphere, leaving friendly trails and smiles, happily making new friends along the way. They don’t limit their visits to only the rich and successful, but spend some time to say hello to new blogs as well. They are the ones who engage others in meaningful conversations, refusing to let it end at a mere hello - all the while fostering a sense of closeness and friendship.”

Thanks Angel! I think I’ll take the schmoozer trait as a compliment. And in that spirit, I’m going to forward it to my friend Kelly. Now Angel also tagged me for another meme that seems centered around the number four. So here’s my answers. I’ll just invite anyone who wants to play along to join in on their blogs.

Name Four….
Jobs I’ve had: Maid, hair stylist, office administrator, business owner
Movies that don’t get old: The Bourne series, Tommy Boy, Princess Bride, Batman Begins
Places I’ve lived: Southeastern Idaho, Fort Collins Colorado, Chandler Arizona, Mesa Arizona
TV shows I watch: Heroes, Battlestar Galactica, 24, The 4400
Places I’ve been on vacation: NYC, Long Beach Island, Hershey Pennsylvania, Philadelphia
Favorite foods:Chips & salsa, fondue, french fries, seafood
Websites I visit: Gmail, iGoogle, Facebook, HopeToAdopt community

Now, just because I fell behind I’m going to step it up a notch by doing my Wordless Wednesday early! Ha!

  1. Awwww, THANKS! I don’t think I’ve ever been called a schmoozer before. My dad was definitely a schmoozer though - I think it’s in the genes. And the definition next to the award button is definitely a compliment. One you deserve as well.

    Thank you!

    Welcome! From one schmoozer to another then….:)

  3. Congrats on your award. I can’t believe Katie won’t be back for Batman 2. I saw on the news that someone else is taking over her character.

    That’s too bad. That one Batman movie saved the series for me.
