Katie and Mea Culpa

I am very excited to announce my nomination from Kimo and Sabi for the schmooze award!

Here is the definition of schmooze and an explanation of the award:
“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.”

Here are the rules:
Each award winner is to display the badge on the sidebar of his blog with a link to the post which contains the explanation of the award, then nominate five bloggers to receive the award.

I’m going to think about who to pick for my nominations.

Thank you all for the suggestions on a name for the little foster! I think he looks a little bit like my friend Bailey, who just had his first birthday, yesterday! If you are on Catster, please drop by and wish him a Happy Purrthday!
