Award Love

Ah. I was lucky enough to receive not 1, but 2 awards this week. Both were from Jill at Life After College. Thank you so much! Jill and I grew up in the same area (go go upstate NY!) and then met in the blogosphere. What a small blogger world! Anywhoozer, here are the rules for the first award. 
Accept the award, post it on your blog together with the name of the person who has granted the award, and his or her blog link. Pass the award to up to 15 other blogs that you enjoy. Remember to contact the bloggers to let them know they have been chosen for this award.

And here are the rules for the second!


All you have to do for this award is tag other lady bloggers that you love! 

I am going to tag all of the ladies together.

This list is basically all of my daily reads,
and I love these blogs in their own way. 
But most of the time, they just make me smile! 

Natalie at Natballs

I’m not going to follow the rules on this one.

I’m not going to force this award on anyone. 
If they see it & want it, they can take it. I get the feeling that not everyone likes to do these, so I’m going to leave it up to them! 

Happy 101 Award

Hey all! I just* received the “Happy 101 Award” from Jill at Life After College. If you don’t know her blog.. you should most defiantly check it out! :)  
*(just as in a few days ago..sorry for the delay! I have been so busy!)

Here’s the award rules:
Copy the award image in your post. Then, list 10 things that make you happy, try to do at least one of them today, and tag 10 bloggers that brighten your day. For those 10 bloggers who get the award, you must then link back to my blog! :)
10 things that make me happy (in no particular order):
1. The men in my life, Chris, Cooper & Budman

2. Sleeping. This fought hard for the number 1 position. I honestly have an unhealthy need for sleep.

3. My job. Is that strange? I guess I just feel that I’m lucky to have a job that I like.. during a time where a lot of people would take any job.

4. Christmas Shopping. I loveee buying things for other people…
much more than buying things for myself!

5. Reading. I haven’t had time to actually READ something that wasn’t assigned…so over break I’m making that a priority!

6. Traveling

7. The fact that many of my friends are coming home from school this week! :)

8. Cooking!
9.  Eating.
10. Coffee. Mmmm. 
Now here are 10 bloggers that brighten my day just by being them! 
Mara at M Loves M 
I have “given” the award to 5 people. It seems that everyone else has it! If you would like to have this award, go ahead and take it. You deserve it ;-)  

Honest Scrap Award

I have been given the “Honest Scrap Award”
By Yessica, from In Joy and Sorrow

4) Tell those 7 people they’ve been awarded HONEST SCRAP and inform them of these guidelines in receiving the award.

“10 Honest Things”
  1. Over the summer, I sprained a  joint in my neck taking my hair out of a towel (probably one of the most painful experiences I’ve had) 
2. I have gone through 4 cars in 4 years. (94′ Ford Escort (RIP Bandit), 92′ VW Jetta (I never really liked you anyway), 92′ Honda Civic (RIP), and am not on my my next victim, a 97′ Honda Civic.

3. I usually fall asleep before 11 pm.

7. I have tomorrow off from work (for veterans day) because I technically work for the state!
8. What I dislike most about driving home from school at 9pm are the deer. Twice this year (so far) have I seen a bloody mess of a formally functioning deer all over the highway. It gives me nightmares!
9. I finally ordered a pair of boots! These should be arriving arrived today!

10. I am going to see Daniel Tosh this Saturday, and Jim Gaffigan in December…so excited!
