Versatile Blogger...that's me!

Thursday, June 03, 2010
  Last week Mary over at Musings of the Sixties gave me this award.  Thanks Mary!  If you haven't visited Mary's Blog, stop over and say hello.  She is a fellow lover of Koi and has great posts about her walking adventures and lovely stories about her grandchildren...she is a such a dear!  The rules are to thank the person who gave you the award, tell seven things about yourself and pass the award along to some bloggers you love.

So here are some things you probably don't know about me, whether you want to know them or not!  LOL!

1) When I was young I had 2 make believe friends, Susie and Dobie.  One of them was blue. I guess I loved the smurfs a little too much.

2) I will eat ketchup, salsa and spaghetti sauce, but don't like raw tomatoes on sandwiches or in salads.

3) I am a big fan of salty and sweet...and may or may not have been known to mix popcorn and swiss cake rolls at one sitting.  Not for a while, but it has been done.

4) I can't draw a stick figure.  Seriously, no artistic talent in these bones, at least in the sketching way.

5) I took Tae-Kwan Do when I was younger from my high school boyfriends father.  I got a yellow belt.  By breaking a board with my foot.  For real.

6) I haven't ridden a bicycle for years...because I am so short, it's hard to find one without spending hundreds of dollars. And I don't miss it that much!

7) I made our wedding cake.  Well it was boxed cake mix, but I made the buttercream icing and layered it and decorated it down to the scarlet ribbon.  That is something that I will hold close to my heart forever.

I would love to pass this along to some of my versatile bloggie friends!

Syl and Jaime made me smile last week by giving me this award. Thank you ladies…you both bring smiles and happiness to my day too! And Melissa gave it to me too....I guess it was a good week!  Thanks for reminding me Lissa, I thought I kept them all in my google reader, but I think I just randomly checked yours and saw my name! 

Here are 10 random things that make me happy.

1. My husband meeting me at the door when I get home with a hug and how was your day.
2. Emma’s tail wagging….for any reason. I think of it as her way of smiling.
3. Hearing my Grandma tell me she loves me
4. Seeing an elderly couple holding hands….I want us to be like that when I grow old.
5. Seeing my exercise and healthier eating pay off, whether it be on the scale or by my clothes fitting better.
6. Getting random emails, texts or calls from a friend when I least expect it to just say hi.
7. Babies….enough said…they are just so adorable.
8. Getting good reviews at work. My job is very important to me, and its nice to know I’m appreciated.
9. Winning stuff…I love to win things…even if it’s a granola bar!
10. College football…seriously I love watching football all day on Saturdays in the fall. Spending the halftimes on the patio with the grill makes for a great day!


And here are a few of the blogs that make me happy on a regular basis. These women possess strength and happiness in many different forms. Some are loving mothers, others are motivating weight loss warriors, some are thought-provoking and entertaining writers, others are great photographers and some are a combination of some or all of these!


And, here are the instructions ladies, pass along the happy if you'd like:

1. Copy the image and display it on your blog.
2. List 10 things that make you happy.
3. Try to do at least one of them today.
4. Pass on the award to 10 bloggers who brighten your day.
