My goodness, there has been a fast, furious, frenzy of activity on the Blogosphere lately! Every time I turn around, there is a new contest, a new award, a new meme, I can hardly keep up! I have so many posts to write it barely seems possible, so at the risk of creating so much friction on my keyboard that it catches fire, I’m going to start with this, an award I was given by the lovely Mrs. Mo:

Check out those guns! I’d better get cracking on those FIRM workouts if I’m going to whip my flabby arms into looking like that! What exactly is a schmoozer? Darlene Tenes, CEO of Marketing Maniacs says, “The art of schmoozing is an essential social, career and life skill. Many people at the top of their fields are excellent schmoozers. They know how to connect with people and are able to leverage those connections.” Well, that describes a lot of people, but I’m supposed to tag five, so here goes:

Liz Thompson from This Full House: Click the link for her About page. Anyone who has that many blogging jobs and that many published essays must know a thing or two about leveraging her connections! That, and she’s just plain talented.

Mr. Fabulous from Pointless Drivel: His blogs are not for the faint-of-heart, and if you can’t take a little teasing, you probably shouldn’t leave him comments. But despite his tough talk, Mr. Fab has a community of loyal readers, and now a radio show on BlogTalkRadio. He can definitely schmooze.

Jenn “Mrs. Hyphenated Last Name” from Jennster’s Blog: She writes blogs, runs a message board, and treats her readers like a special friends. She is the very definition of someone who knows how to schmooze and socialize and leverage her connections. And she’s wicked hot, too

Izzy from IzzyMom: She’s a busy Mom, blogger, web designer, and author of Props and Pans, and she’s got Parent magazine sponsoring a cocktail party the night before BlogHer starts. She knows how to connect with people, all right. She has also been responsible for a major amount of this blog’s success. You ROCK, Izzy!

Julie from Mothergoosemouse: Julie never ceases to amaze me, she has seemingly limitless amounts of energy! She has two kids, writes blogs, contributes to Cool Mom Picks, runs Parent Bloggers Network along with Kristen from Motherhood Uncensored (who also deserves this award, by the way)- I’d say she knows how to schmooze!
