Sunshine Blogger Award


Thanks to Roe over at My Upside Down Life for awarding me the sunshine blogger award. I am honored and feel so loved every time I get one of these little dandies. As usual I will break every rule except linking back to her, and answering the questions. You all know if I follow your blogs, I think you're amazing and wonderful.

The Rules:
1. Include award logo in a post or on your blog page.
2. Answer (10) questions about yourself (oh God, not again!!!).
3. Nominate 10-12 other fabulous bloggers.
4. Link your nominees to the post and comment on their blog, letting them know about the award.
5. Share the love and link the person who nominated you.


Ten Questions and Answers:
1. What would you most like to change about yourself?

I would like a new job, and new shorter hair. I'm working on the first, and the second will be accomplished this Saturday at noon.

2. What is your theme song?
Don't hate me because I'm Joe Esposito-ful. You're The Best. (I don't know why the underline in that link won't show, but if you click on the words "You're The Best" you're in for a treat).

3. One part of your life, a memory, action, etc. that you wish you could surgically remove from your brain?
I know this is a really hippie thing to say, but nothing. Everything that happened to me brought me to where I am today. I've suffered a lot, seen a lot of friends die, and been through shit most people would like to forget. But I don't ever want to forget lest I sink back in to old terrible behavior.


4. What generation do you wish you had been a part of?
That is really easy: the 50s and 60s. The music, the design, all of it. I would like to at least like to go back and visit. But the role of women back then wouldn't have set too keen in my life. So I don't think I'd want to be a real part of that time in history.

5. What was your favorite childhood toy?
My talking Alf doll. Thinking back he said really inappropriate shit they wouldn't get away with a doll saying nowadays. I wish I still had it.

6. What is your favorite housecleaning chore?
Doing dishes, and vacuuming.

7. Do you Twitter?
Nope. I don't tweet. I rarely twat. But sometimes I'm a twit.

8. Any goals?
Get a promotion within the next year. Get some work done on my yards so I have actual live grass. Put in a backyard pizza oven and a one lane lap pool.

9. Do you really drink margaritas all the time?
Are there people who drink margaritas all the time? I want to hang out with them. Especially if they put umbrellas in them.

10. *This question was missing from the blog site that gave me the Sunshine Award, so I'm just going to make up one of my own.* ( I'm going to go with the same question here )
What is one historical figure you'd like to hang out with for the day?
Why did I give myself such a hard question? There are a ton. But I'd have to say Molly Ivins. Her sharp wit is so impressive, and I actually cried the day she died. Huge loss for the world.

  2. Thanks!

    And we need to get your hubby here so he can build me one. I'll give him hypnotherapy so he can get over coming here. Plus, he was in SoCal. NorCal is like a different world. :)

  4. I was so into the Karate Kid scene, that I was bummed when they didn't show the grand finale!

    I love to vacuum, too. There is something so soothing about it. I'm not in a good mood tonight...maybe I ought to vacuum ;)

    Have a great weekend!

  5. I have to vacuum because of the kitties. All the rooms and both my couches. It's crazy the amount these crazy monsters shed!!

    I love the Karate Kid. It has been way too long since I've seen it. I need to watch it again.

    You have a great weekend too. And if I haven't told you this lately, you're the sweetest. Really, you are.

  6. Thanks! I will take that compliment and not tell you why it must not be true...something I'm working on :)

    My cats and dog are terrible shedders, too. My dog is really bad right now because of the heat. It's a constant battle against fur bunnies rolling across the wood floor!
