so, I started this post for my birthday which was just a short, 13 days ago. Yeah, I didn't finish it.
*ahem* so.
Let's celebrate my blogiversary instead. Here are the gifts I've been showered with lately.
celebrate, bitches...

Don't feel bad if you haven't gotten me anything, you still have time.
(mail to: Stacie's Madness, Madnessville, IN)
onward.

I haz awardz yo.
Messponential gave me the LOVE YA award.
(BTW, CHECK HER OUT, she is really funny and it's good writing going on over there.)
Here's what it's all about.
The "Love Ya" Award states:
These blogs are exceedingly charming. These kind bloggers aim to find and be friends. They are not interested in self-aggrandizement. Our hope is that when the ribbons of these prizes are cut, even more friendships are propagated. Please give more attention to these writers. Deliver this award to eight bloggers who must choose eight more and include this cleverly-written text into the body of their award.

Well, I do, I do like to make new friends. Via the internet AND IRL. I enjoy leaving comments and reading bits and pieces of other's lives. So THANK YOU!!!
I have to pass this on to 8 other bloggers. Let's see.
I'm not going to send it to 8, call me a rebel.
This is going out to someone that I could totally be friends with IRL, not that I couldn't be friends with all of you. Really.
This blogger has been commenting on my blog since day one...that's a two year relationship. Just to let you know, three years married is all I do, it seems.
(cut the crap Stacie, get to it)
Mommy from the Midwest.She rocks.
and...
The Honest Scrap Award from Stacie (Cause us Stacies have to stick together)

The Rules:
1 - Thank the person that gave it to you. Thank you Stacie! (it's not me really, click the link, there's another Stacie in the world)
2 - List 10 honest things about yourself. Oh Good grief!! :D
3 - Put the honest scrap logo on your blog. Done.
4 - Select 7 other bloggers that you think deserve this award. (you can't make me)
10 honest things about me...1) I honestly hate these "tell all" memes. I draw a blank. Ask me to blog for two years all about myself, I can do that, but to come up with a list? Not as easy. I'm a horrible procrastinator.
2) I honestly love cheesecake, but don't like the calories.
3) I honestly hate how my boobs look now that I've lost my excess weight.
4) I honestly can quit smoking, but I don't wanna.
5) I honestly am a romantic fool, but honestly suck at romantic relationships. Hello divorce number 2, how are you?
6) I honestly love reality tv. Their lives are so much uglier than mine.
7) I honestly love music. All kinds. Except country music unless it's poppy country.
8) I honestly saw Ricky Martin in concert twice. What? He has a nice bombom.
9) I honestly wonder how I can be this old...and a mom to two...where does time go...and who are these kids?
10) I honestly don't know what age I'd be considered a cougar...just wanna know when I hit that age so I can hit it. Proudly.
mmmkkk I'm giving this to one person who I admire in all her honesty on her blog. She needs to keep up the good work, let's give a round of applause to my bloggy friend Renaissance Woman @
Just trying to Squeeze the Most Out of LifeNext...
Mary at

Again from Stacie (see, Stacies are thick as theives yo)

"The Humane Award is in order to honor certain bloggers that I feel are kindhearted individuals. They regularly take part in my blog and always leave the sweetest comments. If it wasn’t for them, my site would just be an ordinary blog.
Their blogs are also amazing and are tastefully done on a daily basis. I thank them and look forward to our growing friendships through the blog world.
Recipients of this award should write a post about it, linking to the person gifted the award, along with ten of their own nominees."
I am grateful, really I am...but this one CRACKS ME UP, especially the highlighted part, "Their blogs are also amazing and are tastefully done on a daily basis"
