Holy Awards!

Mariuca has to be one of the sweetest bloggers I know, she awarded a whole bunch of awards to me and several other bloggers. Thanks!

There are so many that I couldn't possibly get them all in one post, so I chose one of my fav's to put on here and will have to figure out the rest.

A New Award!!

My first award of the New Year!! Yeah!!!...and thanks Mel!

I have to agree with Mel, I never hand out awards as soon as I get them, but this is a new year. Heck, I am lucky if I even post them and with the spirit of a new year, I am going to try to post them and give them out to deserving bloggers in a more reasonable amount of time!

This award is the Blogger's of the World award and boy there are alot of bloggers out there. I myself have made friends with bloggers in other countries and they happen to have some of my most favorite blogs!!

I am going to present this award to:

Nick and Spiff

Wen

Ann, Marzie & Adrian (I know you both have been given this, but you are one of my fav's)

Jean

Allee - keep your head up!

Ev - Can't wait to read more of your blog.

I Love Award's

Oh Boy...what a busy morning. I have been catching up on something I have been meaning to do. I am in the middle of adding some new Daily Stomping Ground blogs. There are so many blogs I love to visit and want to share them all.

I have also slacked on the MEME’s !! I received two from Ann over at A Nice Place In The Sun.

Sorry for the delay Ann, been very busy and as always, thanks for thinking of me. I have had a great time reading your blog and all the nice comment's you have left for me on mine. Thanks for being a blogging friend. It really amazes me how I could meet such wonderful people and get to know them via a blog.


I will start with the older of the two: The Blogging Star Award

The amazing Barb over at Skittles´ Place has created a brand new award - the Blogging Star Award for bloggers who shine their light throughout the Blogoshere. Some do it with humor, others with creativity, and others with their kind and thoughtful natures.

I am going to award this award to:

Nick @ Spiff, The Spaceman: A New Rising Star, can't wait to see you shine.

Jim & Emma @ Go Smell The Flowers: Always a fun blog to check out.

Mel Kaye @ Monday Morning Power: (One of my newest additions) Need some Monday Morning inspiration?

Marzie @ Marica’s Perfume Gallery: snifff...smell the great scents here!

Mad Goat Lady: Have loved the blog from the very first time I read it!


I have one more award to give......but after these messages!!

Ok..breaks over..................Wow this post is taking up a big chunk of real estate on my blog!! All worth it in the end though, I get to let my fellow bloggers know exactly how great their blogs are...so on with the show!!

The second award: You Make Me Smile Award



This is the second award I received from Ann @ A Nice Place The The Sun.

"You lift me up" throughout what looks like a four leaf clover. It seems to suggest how lucky we are to have the bloggers who inspire and support us each day. I think the bloggers who create these awards are special. Because of their kindness we have a symbol of appreciation for our friends, and beautiful designs with uplifting sayings to display on our blogs.

The Smile Award was created by Bridget at "...And miles we go before we sleep..."

Here's to those who make me smile every time I stop by their blog's. Thanks to you all...

Nick @ Anything Goes! : I know you already received this award from Ann, but I couldn't help but give it to you myself. I can always count on some crazy story of yours. One of my fav's was the one you posted about your neighbor. (I looked at looked for the post and I couldn't find it!)

TRENTING @ Trenting dot com : Girl, you have me in laughin my ass off every time I stop by. I get some of the strangest looks if am reading while I am at work. Keep it coming!!

Adrian @ First Time Dad: I love reading about your adventured and the blast's from the pasts. You're daughter is simply adorable and can make me smile any time.

Angie Lee @ What Floats My Boat: Ya tell it like it is..gotta love ya just for that!! Just keep letting the diarrhea flow girl!

Laurie Anne @ All Over The Bored: I know you aren't doing any more meme's but I must give you this award and all you need to do is accept it.

Wen @ La Delirante: You have some very beautiful picture's and I appreciate you sharing them. I love being able to see other parts of the world.

Kristyn @ Ya Don't Say: Laid back but always a pleasure to read your posts. Nice change of pace. Hope all is well with you.


This post is finally over..Thanks to all you wonderful bloggers. I look forward to may more funny, inspiration, irrational, crazy and most of all...... diarrhea filled posts!!

Blog Of The Day...

Back on July 22nd Jennifer at The Life Of A School Bus Driver named me Blog of the Day over at her blog. I found it during my self pity party and non blogging spell. Thanks Jennifer..It was a nice surprise for me during such a crappy time.

Saturday

Not to much interesting happening, besides all the other drama. Last night a bunch of us got together and we took the kids to see fireworks. It is always a really nice show and we always have fun. Otherwise this weekend has been ver uneventful.

Are You Schmoozin?

Most of all..Thanks Adrian. He has honored me with the Schmooze award. Thanks so much!!

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. So how in the world I got this award I will never know LOL but I've thought of five great people who have made me welcome and schmoozed their way into my blog and life that I'd like to give this most prestigious Power of Schmooze Award!

So please clap your hands for these 5 new Schmooze Award recipients, that is if they choose to accept the award of course!

Since the morning coffee has not done it's job yet, I will keep this short and sweet. Each one of these blogs has given me a either good laugh or a thought to ponder. Good job all..Keep up the Schmoozin

Yeah For Me and For You Too!!

Just want to send a special thanks to Alalee over at What Floats My Boat she nominated me for the Rockin Girl Blogger!! Go check out her blog....that is if you can handle things straight forward and to the point.

Now I must pick 5 other deserving bloggers..

My first pick is Nick Philips @ Anything Goes! This is a great blog about him and his happens, Always has something fun going on over there. Nick take your bows because you are an Awesome Guy Blogger!!

EddieJohn66 @ First Time Dad, you are an Awesome Guy Blogger as well..this blogger shares with us his first time Dad experiences. With an obvious love for his beautiful daughter, I always enjoy reading what the family is up to.




And the Ladies............

I would like to present this award to Laurie Anne @ All Over The Bored. I love to read her views and always has something great to read..

Krystin Marie @ Ya Don't Say She has a wonderful blog but I am giving her this award because, well, I am sure that she is not the only blogger at Wordpress that uses the change-a-theme look, but I will tell ya..IT ROCKS!!






Last but not least..

I give the last award to Jim AND Emma at Go Smell The Flowers! The cover all subjects and always have something fun & interesting going.

Thinking Blogger!!

I wanted to take care of this before I get busy AGAIN and forget…

Taking my first set of bows and sending out a huge thanks to 2 of my fellow bloggers..I received The Thinking Blogger Award!!

The first one was awarded to me by NickPhil67 . Thanks!! I have to say I was shocked, I was reading it first thing in the morning (5 am) and wasn’t really sure that I read it correctly until after I had my coffee. I felt like I received a million dollars, I was walking around the house smiling from ear to ear!! Thank goodness my husband didn’t see me, he certainly wonder what I was up to! LOL


The second one I discovered today when I actually had time to hang out at at Blogcatalog.com. In my messages there was another one from A Nice Place In The Sun.. Now I am extra shocked and my officemate is giving me some starnge looks and wants to know why I am being all cheezie! Thanks so very much..

I just wanted to say my thank you’s first and I will be posting my award recipients tonight when I get home..Good Luck To You All!!
