Beautiful Blogger
Yesterday I opened my reader as always and went to read my favorite blogs. I am always excited when I see that Jenn over at Princess Prose has posted. I was even more excited to see that she had tagged me for an award! I was having a bit of a bad day (still am) and it cheered me up considerably. THEN came the extra frosting on the already calorie heavy cake…I pulled up my site and saw that she had redone it for me! I LOVE IT! Thank you so much lady.
Also gave me something to post today which is also a bonus. So thanks Jenn, I super awesome love you and can’t wait until August when I love tackle you in Philly International.
However, along with these lovely little awards come rules. I’m not so good about those.
- Thank the person who nominated you for this award. (Thanks Jenn!)
- Copy the award and place in on my blog. (Done and Done)
- Link to the person who nominated me. (Go Here Beeshes)
- Share 7 interesting things about yourself. (This is where things start to go downhill)
- Nominate 7 other beautiful bloggers. (Easy Peasy, right? RIGHT?)
So. 7 interesting things about me. I’m not really all that interesting so this is not fun for me.
~ I always wanted to be left handed. Badly. In about 7th grade I actually tried going the whole year only writing with my left hand. I practiced and practiced and can actually now write very legibly with both hands.
~I am in a full out search for my birth family. I was placed for adoption at birth and was in a NICU for 27 days after which I was placed with a foster family who I stayed in contact with as a kid. The search is super stressful, but my goal is to come out of it with some medical history for my family.
~I hope to enter nursing clinical in Fall of 2011. My ambition is to be a NICU nurse and provide support for little loves like Heather’s Maddie and Lindy’s Natalie.
~ Tomorrow (SQUEEEEE) I am buying a Canon Rebel XSi. I have no idea how to use it but Heather has assured me the “For Dummies” book will make me a pro!
~ I have a four year old step-daughter. Actually her and Jimmy’s birthdays are only a day apart, they are one day away from being exactly 3 years apart. ACTUALLY…Maddie and Chase are 18 months apart, Chase and Jimmy are 18 months apart and Maddie and Jimmy are exactly 3 years apart. Gah.
~ I *may* have a touch of baby fever. Thank the sweet baby Jesus for an IUD that I can’t just decided to stop taking, because mah ovaries are on FIRE!
~ I’m peeing myself nervous for Blogher…but can’t wait to go!
OK. I’m glad that is over. Now for seven Beeeeeautiful Bloggers.
Cara of Momma Says. She doesn’t blog enough *hint hint* besides…she kept me on the phone for an hour a few weeks ago so she OWES me!
Katie of Loves of Life. I love her blog and actually know her in real life through an old job. She is expecting her first child soon and her blog is so much fun.
Steph of A Grande Life. We survived the double blizzard of 2010 together via tweet deck and I will always be grateful!
Cindy of Poobou. I love her and her little Catie is my Jimmy’s birthday buddy! She also answers my stupid ass questions for me without throwing fruit at me.

Amber of Pacifier Graveyard. The girl just went through hell and is on the other side smiling.
Sara. 3 little ones and still manages to look at things on the bright side. I need more of that!
Lions and Tigers and Bears Oh My!
Jenn is my Canadian lovah. My Starbucks drinking sweet cheeks. My spooning roomie for BlogHer. I lurves her. And she lurves me. Enough to give me this!!

That’s right, she gave me an award! There are some rules that comes along with this one…so here we go:
1) Present this award to 7 others whose blogs you find brilliant in content and/or design, or those who have encouraged you.
2) Tell those 7 people they’ve been awarded the HONEST SCRAP AWARD and inform them of these guidelines in receiving the award.
3) Share “10 Honest Things” about yourself.
Here’s my honest list:
1. I feel incredibly overwhelmed every day. I do my best to keep things in perspective, but sometimes it really gets away from me.
2. I am terrified of cranes. Not the birds with the long ass legs…those giant hulking scary as hell pieces of construction equipment. *shudder*
3. I am scared for when my insurance kicks in, because then I will really have to start dealing with my health problems.
4. I wore a pair of jeans today that I wore in our engagement pictures. They were taken the day I got pregnant with Chase. Imma be a skinny beesh soon!
5. I have never been so scared of cold and flu season as I am right now. I am so beyond scared it’s not even funny.
6. I can’t wait for BlogHer. I need to get away SO BAD.
7. The Phillies are playing the Yankees in the World Series. I am going to develop an ulcer over this.
8. I lost a good friend last year, and I don’t even know why we don’t talk anymore. It really bothers me and I have reached out to her, but nothing. I miss her.
9. I hate fighting with my husband, but I love me some retaliation shopping!
10. I want more tattoo’s but Jim doesn’t want me to get them. I might have to do it anyway. We will see….
Now to pass on the love:
