A meme and an award

So two new things have happened. I got tagged for a meme by Donna and I got an award from Kellyn. Of course I was excited because I LOVE GIFTS. :)

Part I

For the meme I have to tell you 6 UN-spectacular things about me. I think this may be kind of hard because, well, I just think I am spectacular. You do too. Come on. Admit it. Alright, I am going to give this a shot....

1. I have an email addiction. I check it like 5-10 times a day. I can't help it. I am social and when you stay home being social is a little bit more difficult, especially when most of your friends work all day.

2. Cold Case Files is my favorite tv show. The one on CBS not the one on A&E. I have stayed up until 2 a.m. watching marathons of it.

3. I have lived in the same small town for 30 years. I got away for a year and a half but moved back for my son to go to a small school. I dream of moving away, far away. Ireland sounds good, right Jody? We could be neighbors.

4. I love cookbooks. I have a whole cupboard of them.

5. I'm a night person but I wish I was a morning person.

6. The older I get the more tomboyish I become. I was definitely more girly in my 20's. It may be all the testosterone in the house rubbing off on me. I hate wearing makeup and doing my hair.

I am supposed to tag 6 people but I prefer to just let anybody do it that wants to. Let me know if you do. :)

Part II

This is the award I received.



You are supposed to give the award to 7 people. Some of the blogs I read have already received it but I can definitely think of 7 more wonderful blogs. So I give this to....

Blue Castle - she is so creative and comes up with so many ways to save money.

Our Cozy Nest - she has the cutest home tours and decorating ideas.

Donna's Diary - she has some seriously great scrapbooking layouts and cards.

Rachel's Journal Pages - I love how open and honest she is on her blog. She keeps things real.

With All That I've Been Given - she is so encouraging and down to earth.

Busy Boys Blog - she has great recipes, especially for freezer meals.

and The Homespun Heart - she has the most wonderful craft ideas.

Please pass it on and let others know how much you love their blogs. :)
