Unfinished Business..Awards and What's for dinner


Ok, it is Wednesday and I just caught up with Tuesdays blogs...come on people take a vacation so I can catch up. I really like to read all those I follow but somedays I just can't. Please take pity on me and don't think I don't care because I do. I try to comment on them all. There are so many great ones to read and so little time. The guy blogs are the best to follow since most don't update daily...a method to my madness. I have also become addicted to Tetris, but more on that later.

Other blog business... I have received a couple more awards... you guys/gals rock. And I can't say enough how flattered I am, seriously.

JennyMac at Let's have a cocktali...  has awarded me the Honest Scrap (see sidebar >> )

If I am nothing, I am honest so I do appreciate this award. Jenny was one of the first blogs I followed and she has been with me for a long time so I am extra honored. ( I am not passing this one on at this time as most of my faves have this award already. I would love to see some "10 things about me lists" they are fascinating )

I recently posted 10 things you didn't know about me so bear with me as I try to think of 10 more.....

1- I am an awesome and cool mom according to my kids cuz I play video games and go to concerts. (no I didn't pay them)

2- My favorite food is peanut butter, is that considered a food.. should be a food group.

3- I love my BlackBerry.. opps you know that already.

4- I once had a poem published in a local paper..see the end of this blog

5- Enough about me...I'm bored already

The last award comes from Tamela at A Brunette Making it One Day at a Time




Dragon Loyalty Award




How cool is that award.. love the picture.

Rules are the usual, give credit and pass it on to 3-10 loyal readers/bloggers.

Sooooo, and drum roll please.

Thank you, to all of you, and all my readers. I appreciate the following even when I fall behind on my reading...

-------
Thanks to those that have visited Chat-eaux.com and especially those that joined. We are having a great time and a couple of you even guessed my user name. Some of the staff have just done a podcast and you can listen to it Chat-eaux.com update 10/20/09 it will also give a HUGE clue as to my user name... come on now listen I know you wanna hear my sultry voice. Click on the link or the picture of our chateaux at the top of the right sidebar... see you there.
-------
My husband just called, as he does most days, and asks what's for dinner? How would I know, I rarely ever cook it, besides I need to go grocery shopping. I think he just deludes himself and hopes one day I will say. "I have a roast in the oven, the potatoes are boiling and I am just finishing a beautiful salad. Oh and I made a key lime pie".......... ok you can all stop laughing now...

Wow, congrats on the awards!

I have a top 25 list on my About Me page, but not sure how interesting it is... towards the end I was thinking, I should have just stopped at 8!

Hi, visiting from SITS! :)

Congrats on your awards! :) I'm assuming there's enough of that key lime pie to share with everyone? *hopeful*

Will Burke said...

Would I by correct to assume that you've come up withy some smart-ass gold when asked 'what's for dinner'? Like "Shoes, in a red wine marinade." or "Nothing if you don't let me get back to skinnin' & guttin' this antalope!"

Theta Mom said...

Congrats on all of your awards! You so deserve them! And I'll have to use that line on my husband. :)

Don't feel bad about being behind. I am always behind on my blog reading and commenting! I will get there eventually! Plus on the weekends I seem to forget I have a computer so Monday is like crazy catch up day!

Yay for your awards! ;)

Lisa Anne said...

Congrats on all of your awards, you totally deserve them. THANK YOU so much for the Loyalty award. I really appreciate it and I love your blog so that's why I'm always coming back. LOL

When the question of 'What's for Dinner' usually ends up in 'Fruity Pebbles,' I eventually just stop asking.

Joanne said...

Thank you so much for the Loyalty award - will post this weekend.

Yes I need to quit my job to follow my favourite blogs (and CE) full time. Too bad I am not bullet proof for another year.

blueviolet said...

Congrats on your awards! You deserve them! And thank you so much for passing the Loyalty award on to me. I really appreciate it and am honored!

Your husband is my son. The first words out of his mouth when he gets home from school are What's for dinner?

I know what you mean about being behind on blog reading! I'm ALWAYS behind and don't usually catch up until the weekend. Then on Monday I start getting behind again.

Lola Lakely said...

Congrats on the awards, love. You deserve them!

B does the same thing to me re: dinner. I'm all, "You're a better cook, why don't you figure it out!"

carma said...

Your last paragraph about hopeful call from husband inquiring about dinner is exactly what goes on a my place too :D Congrats on your new blog bling.

Oh, and peanut butter = awesome!!

Christiejolu said...

I know what you mean. I try and read all the blogs I follow, I find it hard to keep up. Especially since I just started Algebra and I should be working on that and not reading blogs. LOL!

Great post!

JennyMac said...

Bravo for you...you and I have been coming up in blogland together since I started blogging. Happy to be on the blog road with you!

And thanks for the award. Love it!

PS: Never apologize for getting behind on reading. Its life. I have been MIA for a week because I am chairing a huge fundraiser this weekend and I have felt bad about not reading all my fave blogs all week. We do what we can do!!!!

Stacy (the Random Cool Chick) said...

Congrats on your awards! Very well deserved. Don't worry about falling behind, it happens to all of us. Case-in-point - I'm WAY behind on yours, so I'm working on catching up now! :)
