My friend, Theresa, gave me this award! What a NICE surprise! (tee hee) Not only is it nice to be recognized, but I’m enjoying visiting her other friends!

“This award is for those bloggers who are nice people; good blog friends and those who inspire good feelings and inspiration. Also for those who are a positive influence on our blogging world. Once you’ve been awarded please pass it on to 7 others who you feel are deserving of this award.”

I want to give this award to these online friends:

Perri at My Life in Bits & Pieces – a homeschool mom of 6 and 1 great son-in-law and 1.5 grandbabies. She knows how to enjoy life!

Lorri at The Mac & Cheese Chronicles – a mom who lost one, like me. I love getting a glimpse into their family life!

Michelle at Happy Mom 777 – someone I met in real life but only recently found her blog. She’s graduated one of her homeschool kids. The other one comes over sometimes to play LOTRs with my hubby. Neat family!

Barb at So the Thing Is… – She loves, she knits and she makes me laugh! I’ve really enjoyed reading her blog!

Ruth at ScrabbleQueen Knits, Too – a real life friend who I’ve nagged into making a knit blog. Now, I’m nagging her to start a tea blog! 😉

Ashley at Scrap Happens – Ash is part of my weekly knit night and a real blessing! She’s always smiling and I love getting to know her!

Melanie at Melanie’s Journey – my friend from way back when…well, not really that long ago – it just seems like so long ago since we’ve both changed so much recently! Check out here artwork too!

I hope you visit all my friends and let them know how NICE their blogs are!!

I’m not good at keeping quiet…keeping secrets…heck, waiting for anything at all.

 

And, yet…here I am.

 

Keeping quiet.

 

Waiting.

 

And, it will probably be a month or longer until I know ANYTHING that I can share.

 

I’m

going

crazy.

…they are gone! Let’s all have a moment of silence for Daiquiri Ice from Baskin Robbins. I’ve been enjoying this treat since my days behind their counter in high school (early 80s) and when I found out it was only 2 pts in weight watchers I loved it even more. But today….oh what a sad day….I found out it has passed away and I wasn’t even aware!

I tried the new Lime Daiquiri Ice…and all I can say is Blech! Oh, what a sad day!

…but it’s my friend’s….and so I’m playing along:

Affection is like air for you – you need to give and receive it to survive.Your strength: Your universal compassion Your weakness: Your unpredictable mood swings Your power color: Mauve Your power symbol: Butterfly Your power month: February

What Does Your Birth Date Mean?

Here’s another one – She’s been busy today!!

Your Brain is 60% Female, 40% Male

Your brain is a healthy mix of male and female You are both sensitive and savvy Rational and reasonable, you tend to keep level headed But you also tend to wear your heart on your sleeve

My friend, Melanie, is an artist and when she mentioned she was going to sell this print on ebay – I rushed right over there and bid as high as I could afford and then prayed no one else would find it. I know…selfish!!  But I won and it’s here and I looooooove it!! After this horriblenogoodverybad day – it was so awesome to get it in the mail today!!
