I feel special...

Oh so special!

Last week I was given a couple of awards!  Aww shucks, ya'll!

I am sorry it has taken me so long to thank you properly!

First, Danielle from Humes, Party of Three passed along The Fabulous Sugar Doll blogger Award to me!

Thank you Danielle!

I'm going to throw out the rules and just ask that you check out these sweet bloggy friends of mine that I am passing this award along to!

Erin @ Little Texas Love Nest

Kelly @ Kelly at Home

Paige @ Some Days You Gotta Dance

Maggi @ Just Add Glitter and Stir

And if that wasn't enough, Heidi over at Wonder Woman Wannabe is thoughtful enough to think I am a master of something!  Thank you Heidi!  I've been trying to think of things I've mastered, and quite frankly, there is only one thing I can think of!  Lately, I am a master of avoiding housework!

I am passing this along to:

Alyssa @ Bloggin 2 Noggin

Lyndsay @ Cookin' Lean like Paula Deen

Courtney @ Tales from the Williamson's Trails

I sound pretty full of myself, don't I?

I am so excited!  Today I found out that I won a giveaway!  yahoodie!

I got an email from Danielle at Humes, Party of Three saying that I won a custom blog header!

She just had a blog makeover done by The Frilly Coconut and it looks great.  So I am excited about it!

Well, "Is that all?" you may ask.  No my friends, it is not.

Miss Jenn over at South of Sheridan, was sweet enough to send me an award!

How sweet is that?  Thank you Jenn!

2.  Paste it on your blog.

3.   Link to the person who nominated you.

Lynette at A Work In Progress--Lynette is such an inspirations, you should visit her!

Heidi at Wonder Woman Wannabe--Oh how I loved Wonder Woman as a kid!  Heidi has awesome ideas about "Re-igniting Date Night".

Now, for some interesting things about me.  Hmm, what to say, what to say...ok, I hope you'll be interested!

1.  I am number 9 of 10 children.  All from the same parents.  My mom is an only child.  I now have 15 nieces and nephews and 2 great nephews and 3 great nieces. 

2.  I wanted to have lots of kids, just like my mama, but morning sickness changed my mind!

3.  My family gets together every other summer for a family reunion.  For years we went to the Outer Banks, but last year we tried something new.  We went to Gulf Shores, AL and had a great time.  I loooove the beach! 

4.  I am always afraid I am going to dress too young for my age.  I will be 40 this year and I still want to be a hot stylish mom!  You know "brick house"!  (not sure if that's working)

5.  I love fried chicken.  Any kind, if it's chicken and it's fried, I love it! 

6.  I stopped drinking coffee after my first baby.  I never want to have to go through caffiene withdrawls again.  I'm sure it was worse coupled with the morning sickness. Now I drink hot tea.  I love Tazo Chai and at night I like Yogi, Egyptian Licorice.

7.  My sister and I have code words for people watching.  If we want to point out someone's "interesting" hairdo, we say "Lid, 4 o'clock".  If we want to point out some "stylish" footwear, we say, "Flippers, 12 o'clock." 

Alright, you can wake up now!  I hope you were not bored to tears!

Have a great weekend!
