....and since I'm really cheap, that's a good thing!

I was given the following award by two of my blogging buddies, Crossview and lahbluebonnet.   Thanks so much ladies!  I can assure you, the feeling is mutual (except that I don't think Crossview is insane.....but don't worry...I took it as a compliment!)

The award creater said:
The thing that I love most about blogging is that I learn so much about a person just by reading their blog. I have met MANY wonderful people with wonderful stories to tell and I am grateful every day for each person that I have the pleasure of crossing paths in life with.

I wanted to create something special for the top ten people who have inspired me through their blogging; the stories they tell and the lives that they lead with grace and dignity. I visit their blogs for inspiration and encouragement.

Now, I'm supposed to share the love.  Well, I could give this to any of my friends listed on the left, since basically that's how one makes it to my friends list...by making me smile.  But it seems a good bit of them have been awarded this already, so I will try to choose a few who haven't already been dubbed.

CarpeBanana......I only recently discovered her blog.  A true wordsmith. I totally appreciate her quips and quirkiness.

mycrazylife.....Always a fun read over there.  Even her "Wordless Wednesday" entries make me smile, and her entries regularly make me LOL....especially when she tries to stop potential criminals with her lint-roller.

jess4him.....She is a super-cute newlywed, and her zest for life and her endeavors always bring a smile, despite the fact that I am super jealous of her Alaskan landscape pictures that she posts so often.

OhPumpkinshellz....I always pass on my awards to her!  What can I say?  Even her comments make me smile.  Sorry it doesn't come with glitter.

lilred....Because she is my daughter, and she's been standing over my shoulder, jumping up and down, saying, "Pick me!  Pick me!".  But she really does make me smile (among other things...but now is not the time nor place...)  You really should check out her blog.  I'll bet it will make you smile too!  Oh, and leave her a comment.  She FLIPS for comments!

Now, go forth, and distribute smilage!

Oh thanks Kellie! Now I'm all faklempt...Quick, where's my tissue, before I cry into my ice cream? What's a girl to say? I'll pass on the love with joy!

Actually, I'm glad you asked where I have been. Your question came just as I was sitting here with a blank look, staring at my screen. Overwhelmed by being gone so long, that I'm not sure what to write. I think it's an ADD thing really, lol. It's sort of like walking into a room and seeing such a huge mess that you don't know where to begin, so you turn around and walk out. Now aren't you glad you asked?

I will post tonight, dear friend...but only thanks to you for the unintentional guilt I now feel for the neglect of my blog.

Ciao Kellie!

Around here "insane" is a high compliment, indeed!
I forget that not everyone knows our peculiar verbiage... =/

Aw, Thank you!! I'm surprised I didn't get the "nasty pics" award after putting that one up with the pile of dead fish! You are *so* sweet!

So does this mean that I'm supposed to award 5 other people the same award now? (not real sure how this works!:)

love,
jessica
