"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.

another award!!! I can't believe this, how awesome!!! This one was given to me by Karen over at A Blog Of Goodies!! She has a great blog, check her out.

2) A day I can sleep in.
3) Dh being home and not working out of state.

Here are 6 creative bloggers I would like to pass this award on to.

2) Kim @ What's That Smell
3) Trisha @ Sweet N' Sassy Girls
4) Stacey @ Havoc and Mayhem
5) Alyson @ 3 P's in a pod
6) Susan @ Life in a House of Blue

I got an award. In fact I got 2!! Now how did that happen?? LOL

The first award, I got from Susan G. (my twin lol) over at Life in a House of Blue.

Here's the translation of the award and the meaning behind it:
“This blog invests and believes, in ‘proximity’ [meaning, that blogging makes us 'close' - being close through proxy] "They are all charming blogs, and the majority of them aim to show the marvels of friendship; there are persons who are not interested when we give them a prize, and then they help to cut these bows; do we want that they are cut, or that they propagate?"Then let’s try to give more attention to them! So with this prize we must deliver it to eight bloggers that in turn must make the same thing and put this text.”

Here are the eight bloggers of my choosing......
1) Rachael @ Miles away in France
2) Mimi @ Minxy Mimi Unplugged
3) Wendi @ Crazy World of an Alaskan Mom
4) Moo @ Moo Musings
5) tcalamity @ tcalamity
6) Tena @ Punky Monkeys
7) Kris @ Nunc Scio Quit sit Amor
8) Leah @ Diaries of a Domestic Goddess



Now on to award #2!! I received this Award from Trisha over at Sweet N' Sassy Girls

Here is how the Brilliant Weblog Award works . . .

The person giving the award chooses blogs that they consider brilliant in their content or design. In return, the recipient is expected to choose a minimum of seven blogs that they like. They leave comments on these blogs to notify the winners. They then post about receiving the award on their blog (like this) and list their choices with links. They also include a mention of whom they received the award and include a link. Pictures are great, but not necessary.

There are a few awards going around today so I hope I am not repeating anyone who has already gotten this award today.

Here is my list of brilliant bloggers
1) Bridgette @ The Not so Blog, Blog
2) Lindsey @ Mommy Chronicles
3) Andrea @ Prima Crafty Momma
4) Jenn @ My kids are my World
5) Bonnie @ Thrifty Momma Ramblings
6) Lisa @ Crazy adventures in Parenting
7) Jess @ Nothing but Purple

That has been me lately. I feel really bad about no posting lately. If fact I have had things to post about but since I type so slow, that some nights when I am tired it's just not worth the energy. Also I have been slacking in my comments on other peoples blogs too. I think I need a few more hours in the day. Or less kids lol!

Update on dh. Well a few weeks ago he went to from Vegas to Washington. He worked about a week and a half at one job and requested a voluntary layoff to get the job he really wanted. That job didn't come through the way he wanted so he up and left to go to Texas. He did manage to come home for about 18 hours on his way to Texas so that was nice. He got there today and starts work tomorrow, luckily. He will be working 10 hrs a day 7 days a week so he will be busy. I failed to ask him how long this job will last. Not longer then Christmas, that I am sure.

I have doing my blog designing. So much so that I haven't even had time to do a design site for me. But that is okay and there is no complaining here. I love that people like my designs and I am still amazed lol.

I have even managed to be nominated for 2 blog awards this week!! I don't have the second one up yet so I will have to get to that tomorrow.

Karen over at A Blog of Goodies has nominated me for a blog award. Not sure I deserve it cause I have been too busy to post lately, so I am thankful for the award.
