A Bloggy Pal's Giveaway and An Award

Pam at Mom's Mutterings is having her monthly book giveaway. Go check it out. I have won two books from her in the past. Check out her other blog posts too as she is a fun read. She loves embarrassing her teens, dragging her son on fieldtrips, and she allows her cats to post to her blog from time to time. Well worth a follow.

Josie at The Poor College Student's Guide to Raising a Baby honored me with this blog award:

First, isn't that the cutest title of a blog. I've enjoyed following her blog for a while now. Okay, onto the award requirements: I must tell you 10 honest things about me and award this to 7 bloggers.

1.) I am addicted to suduko - yes, there is an app for that and I have it.

2.) I'm a cheap date, take me to Starbucks and I am yours - I don't even like coffee, but Starbuck's is much more like drinking dessert the way I do it.

3.) I love getting comments on my blog - it makes me feel special, so thanks!

4.) I totally want the complete dvd collection of The X-Files.

5.) I have never had a facial, massage, or even a pedicure (I mean professionally).

6.) I have gray hairs and I don't care.

7.) My dream job would be a labor and delivery nurse.

8.) I love to sleep in a chilly room with lots of blankets piled all around me.

9.) I love Mondays, they mean homeschool parkday and hanging with my buddies.

10.) I must wear a watch everyday.

You all deserve this award and I hope you pick it up and go post your 10 honest things soon.

WE have a lot in common. Except for the wearing of the watch. I can't stand anything around my wrist. ;o)

Came over from Blue Violet. Nice to "meet" you!

80% of my cell phone useage is playing sudoku. The rest is reading Facebook. I make about 6 calls a month

Menopausal New Mom said...

Hey #5 and #8 is me too. No facial or pedicure either and the cold room with lots of blankets, the best!

Congratulations of your award, I love reading your blog and watching your weight go down even though mine stays the same or goes up!

Stesha said...

Starbucks is ALWAYS the best date spot!

I've had a pedicure and massage, but never a massage. Hoping to get one before Christmas.

My gray hairs and I don't get along that well so I hide them:)

Hugs and Mocha,
Stesha

....never a facial.

SPEAKING FROM THE CRIB said...

just getting to my comments from the cat attack post - my vet is super duper nice and knows i am dirt poor and so he didn't even charge me for anything except the meds, so i can't in all good conscience give him grief

but GEEZ one of my followers suggested dissolving it in tuna juice. i'm going to give that a try

Just Playin' said...

You know what? I want the XFiles DVD set too! Rented the movie the other night about body parts...don't know name of it but it was good! Good for you, you award winner!

Brittany at Mommy Words said...

Congrats on the award! We have so much in common! Love chills and blankets. Love Dessert Coffee. Love Sudoku - think it makes me smarter! Dream job is OB. And yes, must wear a watch!

A Modern Mother said...

I love your description of Starbucks as drinking a dessert. Spot on!

Serendipity is Sweet said...

Woo hoo! Congrats :D
And I'm totally with you on all of those except #1 and #6.. I'm terrible at Sudukun (I think I just have an aversion to numbers in general) and I hate my gray hair. I've thought about #7 too...the nurses are so much better than the docs in delivery!

ModernMom said...

Oh you must try a pedicure! Go with a girlfriend the first time. Much less intimidating and so wonderful:)

Just Playin' said...

Already had my StarSucks today....sugar free, fat free caramel latte. Good! Yum!!!

I am sending this to all those I follow.
To those on my Reading List:
Please do me a favor. Would you go to my blog and “follow” me again? Because I changed my URL, I have lost many of my readers. I know you can still hunt me down, but this will make it ever so much easier on you. I will once again show up on your Reader and Blog Roll. I knew this would happen but needed to change to be more representative of who I am now. I think this is the best fix. Thanks for your time. If you have another solution, let me know! Thanky!!!!!
