They Love Me…Well, At Least My Blog
I was surprised to recently be awarded two different awards from two different wonderful new friends. And it made me feel great because these are two women who’s blogs I read on a near daily basis!
First, I received the ‘I Love Your Blog’ award:

I received this one from Erin over at the Mom Buzz which is on my daily favorites! I love her blog too!
Now, as part of the rules I’m supposed to name seven other blogs I LOVE. That’s the easy part, because there are dozens, narrowing it down is the hard part. Oh, and you if you’ve won the award before, that’s fine. I’m still telling you ‘I Love Your Blog’.
These have been listed in alphabetical order
A Second Cup
Confessions of a Diet Coke Addict
Havoc and Mayhem
Homemaker Hero
Mummified Times Five
The Sassy Southerner
The Wise Young Mommy
Here are the rules:
1. The winner can put the logo on his/her blog.
2. Link the person you received your award from.
3. Nominate at least 7 other blogs.
4. Put links of those blogs on yours.
5. Leave a message on the blogs of the persons you’ve nominated.
Okay, so next, June over at Cen’s Loft another on my favorite blogs list, gave me the following:

The rules of the award are:
1. The winner can put the logo on her blog
2. Link the person you received your award from
3. Nominate at least 7 other blogs.

Thank you so much for the award!
Oh my gosh, thank you so much. I will proudly display my award on my blog. Thanks!!
Awwww… thank you! That was a sweet surprise to come home to tonight.
Thanks so much for the award!
Much appreciated.
Hi! Thank you so much for the award, and the very kind words you left over at my place!
I was really intrigued by your pink cake below - I wonder if your cake mixes are the same as ours over here. When you say soda - is that the drink, as in SevenUp???
thanks nicole! i appreciate that you thought of me on this award. i’ve gotten this one in past but as my way of saying TY for sharing it with me im grabbing your button :).
cheers!
Oh, boy! Thanks for the award. Gee, pee and a tree will get you everywhere!
Gina - You are very welcome. I love your blogs (not just CT) but all of ‘em! The 7 is hard to come up with - well actually as i said - it isn’t. It’s narrowing it down!
Petra - You are welcome, you deserve it. You are always entertaining and fun to read. That picture today rocks! She is a total cutie!
Sassy - You are so welcome. I’m glad you enjoyed the award and I’ll definitely be back to see you display it.
And I love your blog template.
Homemaker Hero - You’re welcome. I think your blog was one of the first I found from EC and I’ve got it favorited to visit anytime I wish not to mention you have this way of providing the most entertaining information and links from all over. Love it.
Tina - You’re welcome. You would have laughed at me when I loaded your other site and it came up “blog hiatus” a few days back and I went “Nooooooooo!”. Of course then I read it and realized that I’d still see you at the other blog. So thank you for that!
Stine - You’re so welcome for both the award and the kind words but you deserve both.
I left you a message on your blog about the pink soda cake.
Liza - You’re welcome! Thank YOU for grabbing my button. I will put yours up on my site as well!
Kathy - You’re welcome, but really I should be thanking you. You give me a giggle every time I visit. Your writing style rocks, your humor is the best and well pee - it’s just funny when its in a litter box. And that bag - I don’t know why that bag makes me laugh - but it does. Maybe its just how you describe it that is so funny. Only you can make a bag funny! But at any rate, you’re welcome for the award. You so deserve it!
Hello again - glad I could help to brighten your day!
Soda - we call it something entirely different, as we speak Norwegian… Brus… There! you just learned something - again!
In Britain, where I picked up most of my English, I think they refer to it as pop or soft drinks, as you say. They drink mostly beer, though!
enjoy your awards! i am off to check out some of those other blogs!
Oh, one more thing about the bag in the tree. I was walking up the stairs of our building with a co-worker. We passed by the window we always look out of to check for the bag. She didn’t see it immediately and clutched her chest and yelled “It’s gone!!!!” I knew it was still there and we double-checked, but it was hilarious to know that she was so struck by the possibility that it made it out. It proves that the bag is really near and dear to everyone’s hearts now. Bizarre, huh? It’s like our friend. I don’t know WHAT I’m going to do when it really is gone!
Thanks again for the award and your tater tot casserole looks scrumptious today! I could never improvise anything like that. I tip my hat to you.
What a lovely surprise! Thank you so much for thinking of me and bestowing this honor upon my site! I will have to give some thought to the seven folks I want to pass the good karma on to . . . I have a couple in mind already. Will post about it this weekend when I have time.
THANKS AGAIN! You made my day.
Thank you Nicole. This was a nice surprise! I will be passing it on next week.
Stine - I love learning new words, language and dialect. I’m a writer first and foremost, so I have this thing with words - you know? I love hearing what other people call something that we call something else. Brus is a cool word.
Erin - Thank you. I hope you found those blogs as awesome as I do. It was so hard to narrow it down, but these girls are the blogs I visit everyday.
Kathy - Thanks for the compliment on the TT casserole. LOL It was definitely improvisation. About the bag - I swear when I found your blog several months ago, I thought that was the funniest thing I’d ever seen. I kept thinking “One day she’s going to go to work at its not going to be there….and we’re all going to be really sad LOL even though we really don’t want it there.” That bag has provided much thinking for me. Wondering of course, how it got there - and how it managed to get so stuck in there. Your “bag story” cracks me up too! At any rate, I’ll be partially sad when its gone too.
JHS - You are so welcome. It is much deserved! Enjoy figuring out who you’re giving it to. I’ll come check them out.
Carol - You’re very welcome. Please ladies, don’t feel obligated to pass it along, I just needed you guys to know how awesome I think your blogs are.
