An Award!

Sarah Mae over at A Warm Cup of Coffee gave me this award on Friday. I have to tell you that she truly reminds me of that warm and comforting feeling you get from a warm cup of coffee. We don't always have the same point of view but I know when I visit her blog, I'll come away with provoking thoughts and happy that I visited. :)

The fun part about this award is, it comes with a questionnaire. Here goes:
1. Do you have the same friends since childhood? I do! I have a group of girlfriends from high school. We are very close but I have also added many friends over the years that I consider family (yeah, I'm talking about you French Fatum).

2. What do you value most about your friends? That we are all different people, have different opinions but love each other to the ends of the earth.

3. Are your friends your sounding boards? My husband is my first sounding board really. Then it's a tie between friends and my mom.

4. What is your favorite activity to share with your friends? Dinner out!

Now I get to pass this award along to four of my bloggy friends. Are you ready? Here's to you!

I Didn't Do This and Award Time!

So P told me I could post the pic I took of him in the hospital...no, really he did. I am not sure why he had the change of heart. Maybe because of the mileage he is getting for it in the joke category.

I have to tell you, I am not so amused by it. I have stopped counting the number of people that have jokingly told me that I needed to "take it easy on him" and "tell your wife to stop hitting you. " Being in a prior abusive relationship makes you a little prickly on this subject. I am trying to take it with a grain of salt but I am not happy about it. I am also glad that he wasn't hurt worse although it looked much worse than this the next day. Lots more color. He really could have done some serious harm to his vision...

If you can't see the vacuum, how are you supposed to use it. Trust me, he's already pulled a few "I can't go out in public like this." crap to keep from running errands. Oh, but he can go to Coldstone for ice cream. Umm Hmm. Ok. So don't feel too bad for him.

Also

I SO love some awarding in my life. In particular I love this one because it suggests (rather accurately) that I am a bad ass. This is true although I am not sure that I have written a post that accurately pinpoints it. So, thanks to My2Boys I am happy to pass this on to:

1. Candid Carrie: If you don't already know she kicks ass, you need to visit.
2. BHJ at The Wind in My Vagina: His mission to out the pedophile at the community pool is heroic and his jam sessions with son just rock

3. La Dolce Vida: Because she is so creative and keeps coming up with new stuff for her jewelry

4. A French Fatum: You guys don't know her as I do but you should and she is just the best. She kicks ass all the time through thick and thin.

5. Hullabaloo at Hullabrouhaha: For the dress she wore to a wedding recently. She is the most rockin-est Scotterish gal ever!

Ok all, now you need to pass this wonderful award on to your kick ass faves! Enjoy!

Yea! An Award!

Thank you to Snooty Primadonna for my new award! I never competed in stuff as a kid where you would win awards to now that I am getting them is it a wonderful feeling!

I would like to pass this award on to:

Sue at AS CAPE COD TURNS - because she makes me happy with her posts of the Cape
Carrie at Candid Carrie - because her sense of humor always makes me laugh even when she is starting rumors about me
Givinya at Killing a Fly with a Ukulele is Probably the Wrong Thing to Do - because I am sorr but that title is hilarious and she is a new bloggy friend.

I'd Like to thank The Academy...

Yea! An award!

Thank you to Sidney at Sidz Kidz and Other Musings for passing on this lovely award.

Now I get to pass it onto 5 people that I think are worthy. Here are the rules:If you already have the award just accept and that's all you have to do.

1. You have to pick 5 blogs that you consider deserving of this award for their creativity, design, interesting material, and also contribute to the blogging community, no matter what language.

2. Each award has to have the name of the author and a link to his/her blog to be visited by everyone.

3. Each award winner has to show the award and put the name and link to the blog that presented her/him with the award.

4. The award winner and one who has given the prize have to show the link "Arte y Pico" blog so everyone will know the origin of this award.

5. Show these rules.
So, here are my choices for blog awards and I wish I could give them to everyone!
