		<description><![CDATA[Brian -- I&#039;m glad you liked it.  There&#039;s more on the horizon!

Polona -- I give you, you may ignore it as you wish.  Oops!  Never mind.  I went and saw and you did post it.

Juliana -- I had a heck of a time choosing between you and Polona.  If it weren&#039;t for you, I probably still wouldn&#039;t know much about Polona beyond words on photographs.  ;)]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Quilly I am honoured. I never thought I was that good at being positive - in fact it is &quot;well known&quot; that I can be a bit pessimistic - so you have made my day. Absolutely. Completely. Totally. With those very kind words.

And the award is just the best. It will get zipped to my sidebar post haste.
Congratulations on your awards. They are very well deserved. YOU are an inspiration to others, including me.
Carolyn and I did the same thing, in fact, I think I did it TO Carolyn - passing the same award back! *very embarrassing* - fortunately Carolyn is very forgiving and not easily insulted! *Phew!* I kinda like that girl - would hate to insult her! Unintentional or not.
So you are not the only one... And there are worse things... ;0)
Thanks again for my award.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&quot;Dude?&quot;

&quot;Yeah?&quot;

&quot;What&#039;s this &lt;i&gt;strive&lt;/i&gt; stuff?&quot;

&quot;Means kickin&#039; your butt out&#039;a neutral, &lt;i&gt;dude&lt;/i&gt;.  That&#039;s how come it rhymes with &lt;i&gt;drive&lt;/i&gt;.&quot;

&quot;In &lt;i&gt;Hawai`i?!?&lt;/i&gt;  Who the hell drives in Hawai&#039;i?  Sit and burn gold-plated gas in traffic, more like it.  Man, that chick&#039;s gotta &lt;i&gt;chill&lt;/i&gt;.  Get the board and go &lt;i&gt;surfin&#039;&lt;/i&gt; or somethin&#039;.  This &lt;i&gt;strive&lt;/i&gt; stuff sounds too much like &lt;i&gt;work&lt;/i&gt;.&quot;

&quot;Like &lt;i&gt;you&lt;/i&gt; get the board, dude?  Right off the top of the head?  OC ain&#039;t gonna like that.  It could be a &lt;i&gt;delete key&lt;/i&gt; offense.&quot;

&quot;&lt;i&gt;Ack!!&lt;/i&gt;&quot;

&quot;Too right, dude.  All Quilly needs to be is herself.  But &lt;i&gt;you&lt;/i&gt; need to clean up your act.  &lt;i&gt;Capisce?&lt;/i&gt;&quot;

&quot;Would it be OK if I cleaned up my room instead?&quot;

		<description><![CDATA[You are absolutely and totally forgiven. In fact, there is no need to apologize. I consider blogging a guilt-free zone, where everybody should just have fun and enjoy each other&#039;s company, so don&#039;t think another minute about it. In fact, you still cheer me up, so I would be happy give you the award again today. I mean who doesn&#039;t love wonderful photography and daily reminders of beautiful, heavenly spectacular Hawaii?? The only thing I&#039;m sorry about is the incident at work that left you &quot;upset, distracted and soul weary.&quot; For that, I apologize. I wished I&#039;d known so I could have at least dropped some condolences or support. Hope you&#039;re well now. Take care!

ps - LOL. I just remembered the time I did the exact same thing as you. I forgot about an award and when I finally got around to handing it out, I couldn&#039;t remember who had given it to me and  ended up giving it right back to them. Too funny.]]></description>
