The Life is Good Award.

My friend, Nikki over at Simple LIving in a Big City gave me this award!! Okay to be fair, she gave it to me in the middle of Sept but I'm so behind on Google Reader (ya'll write a LOT!)that I missed it in the shuffle!


This is my 'Who me?" Face!


The Life is Good Award: To accept the award you must link back and Thank the person who gave you the Life is good award. Answer the 10 questions and pass it along to 6 other blogs :)

1) If you blog anonymously are you happy doing it that way; if you are not anonymous do you wish you had started out anonymously so you could be anonymous now?
I used to blog anonymously back in the livejournal.com days because when people knew that I had a blog they'd use it against me to be hateful. Growing up is annoying, but growing to realize that others are mean and you can approve comments before they get posted,,, is awesome:)

2) Describe one incident that shows your inner stubborn side.
I'm a middle child so I'm a lot more flexible than most. I find that I'm stubborn till proven wrong. I often (like most people)like to stick to things I am comfortable with, and sometimes that leads me to the wrong choice. My fiance is good at knowing when I'm right and when to push cause he's right, I've come a long way from when I was a teen, but its not impossible for me to say to him "yeah your right but let's pretend I was" haha.

3) What do you see when you really look at yourself in the mirror?
Blue eyes, everything else is either a work in progress or accesory:)

4) What is your favorite summer cold drink?
This year its Diet Coke. Obsessed!

5) When you take time for yourself, what do you do?
I like to catch up on DVR'd television shows that make me laugh, I like to dance around my living room with anyone who will dance with me, and I like to do puzzles. I like napping also. But mostly I don't like to be TOTALLY alone.

6) Is there something you still want to accomplish in your life? What is it? Tons! Right now we're wedding planning so I'm trying to take one step at a time but I'm really trying to live each moment and decision to the fullest, I have heard this time goes quickly and I really want to absorb all the blessings and love that there is available. Joy only for me, Please!:)

7) When you attended school, were you the class clown, the class overachiever , the shy person, or always ditching?
Mostly the overachiever, I liked to do well and I liked when my parents and teachers were proud of what I could do.

8) If you close your eyes and want to visualize a very poignant moment of your life what would you see? I have been visualizing moments walking down the aisle, moments of dancing surrounded by friends and family and moments of celebration with those that I care about.

9) Is it easy for you to share your true self in your blog or are you more comfortable writing posts about other people or events? I'm comfortable sharing my true self, but because I have a job other than blogging, I try to articulate the way I feel a lil more polished than perhaps I would say if were sitting on the couch together. Open but cautious.

10) If you had the choice to sit down and read or talk on the phone, which would you do and why
Always phone, always always, I love to hear about others days and tell them the ridiculous that happens in mine, I like a connection with real people.

Now the award needs to be passed on to 6 people, and contact them :)

1) MilkandCuddles.com- My cousin is a great friend and she shares great recipe ideas, crafts, ideas she's so creative and hysterical and her love for her family emanates thru every morsel of cookies... and milk. Check her out!

2)The Bloggess- Okay so she doesn't know me from a whole in the wall,but she makes me laugh my face off and if people are around me they know what I'm reading, especially when I'm hyperventilating so much cause of the laughter. Thats the best Ab workout.

3)A Daddy Blog- My cousin's husband (which IMO makes him my cousin too but I didnt want you to think my cousin married another cousin cause we're not like that in this here parts),, Anywhoo,, he's my new hero cause he's going to help me build a wedding website,, but beyond that he's coming to our world for Thanksgiving (which I think is brave and awesome to go visit the in-laws family for a holiday,, luckily for him we're all cool and ridiculously fun good times),,, but that is huge props, AND he writes about stuff that effects kids and dads and its a perspective we totally don't see enough in blogworld. Check him out!

4)Life in the Pitts- I only just met her and she goes by lots of names. She's SUPER funny and much like I, she types like she talks so you can kinda imagine her sitting next to you telling you her thoughts which I think is awesome. Go follow her now!

5)Kristal at GoodFoodsGoodFriendsGoodLife (thats a mouthful right?) She takes GREAT pictures and is very introspective and caring about every aspect of her life, She just had an adorable little guy added to her family and while there are things that she explains that I'm not sure if I'll do the same or different when I get to that stage of my life, I love love love reading a perspective outside my own or what I've been exposed to. She's methodical and careful and I really appreciate her insight and love that she speaks of in her blog.
Plus the pictures are SO Freaking cute!.

6)Molly at Sleeperbaker! Molly is actually a fellow NYer, and she's such an inspiration. I love to read how she struggles but keeps on running, and she just ran A MARATHON for the first time ever so if there is determination and strength more than that I know not. She makes me laugh and sometimes her food pics make me drool but mostly she makes me feel like I can do it, one step at a time.:)


Okay Bloggies go make friends,,, go forth!!!
