What’s a schmoozer? You’re lookin’ at one!
Whoa. I’ve just learned a totally new word today that sounds even cooler when you say it with a headcold!
I didn’t look it up, I didn’t have to. I’m robbing this from me daddyo…
schmooze or schmoose also shmooze
v.intr. To converse casually, especially in order to gain an advantage or make a social connection.
v.tr. To engage in schmoozing with
n. The act or an instance of schmoozing.
Here it is! My schmoozing award!
Thanks dudes!
I really like this idea.. it means that you’ve been appreciated as a bonifide citizen of the blogging community, not out for personal gain as such, more to make friends and share in the spirit of the atmosphere. It’s not easy blending blogging with real life sometimes. There are so many friends and sources of inspiration out there among you that I’ve found, and I try to catch up with them as regularly as I can, but some of you are just so dang fast! I’ve fallen into a sort of pattern now of three days reading, and one day writing posts of my own while being a busy mum too, so it’s lovely to be recognised for that.
Hop over and read Jefferson’s post, he has a much better description!
This is going to be tough, this bit.
I nominate in turn:
The Humble Housewife; I’m so glad our paths crossed.. your recipies are yummy and you’re like a kindred spirit on here 
Mammy; This one’s a cunning fox. I’m glad you found an outlet for your writing… (this woman’s been published, k’now!) Keep it up!
Grannymar; Because you’re such a motherly spirit around here.. your posts are warm and familiar, and you always find time to comment, which ain’t easy!
Stupid Irish Daddy; Definately the prince of schmooze. And of weirdness. The good kind.
Right. It’s been put upon me to organize a table-quiz. I’m a very disorganised person, so this should be either very interesting or very embarrassing. I’m going to start by finding 80 excellent quiz questions and 10 ‘who is this?’ photos.
If anyone’s ever organized anything like this before, I’m begging you… share with me!
