An Award, for me? Again? WELL OF COURSE!!!

I've done it again, I came first in a beauty contest and won $10. Oh, wait. That's another game...

My totally self-indulgent butt has been given another Award.

Oh how GREAT AND WONDERFUL I am. How you LOVE ME.

Of course how could I not win? I am TOTALLY the obvious choice. Being as I am the BEST and all!!!

Okay, now I'm going to be serious... (Oh who am I kidding?)

The clever and oh-so-wise Gregory J from Day to Day, and Living My Life, Whatever, has AGAIN nominated me as one of his selections for the Happy 101 Award.

This makes me HAPPY 101 times. Plus 4. (Because I do things in groups of 5.)

There are again rules that I will follow with MUCH happiness.

Here they are:

1. Thank the person that awarded you in a new post.
2. Put the award on your sidebar.
3. Name 10 things that make you happy.
4. Pass this award to other bloggers who make you happy.

1.     Thank you GregoryJ! I LOVE you, I do. (Hope your wife

        doesn't mind my infatuation!)

2.     Sidebar = Done.

3.     10 things that make me happy... Aanndd... GO!

4.     Play 'Hot Potato' and pass it on!

In my position as SUPREME BEING AND RULER OF THE BLOGOSPHERE, I hereby award this commendation to the following people:

• GregoryJ from Day to Day, and Living My Life, Whatever, is SOOO supportive. He makes me happy in an I've-got-a-secret-crush-on-my-elder kinda way. (AND Yes, I am aware he already received it, but I'm breaking the rules. Because I can. Because I'm ME and I'm MAGNIFICENT.)
• Giving Her All She's Got always has a NICE comment or two to say. She loves her doggies, like I love my cats. Her posts make me happy in a smiley-fluffy kinda way.
• Kat from 2010 - Year Of Miracles is refreshingly blunt. She makes me happy in an in-your-face kinda way.
• Kellyansapansa is a woman on a mission. To get Married! Her blog makes me happy in a totally-overjoyed-for-her kinda way.
• Jessica over at La Fin Dumond Farm is absolutely hilarious! Her ramblings make me happy in a laugh-uproariously-til-a-little-pee-comes-out kinda way.

So that's it. My Top 5 adored blogs.

If you're not included, I don't love you any more.

***Drumroll*** - And The Winner Is... ME!

The TOTALLY wonderful and handsome Gregory J from such blogs as Day to Day, and Living My Life, Whatever, has selected little ol' me as the recipient of the Beautiful Blogger Award.

Yup. Me. Who'd a thunk it?

♪♪♪Go me, go me, go go, go me!♪♪♪ *insert silly dance here*

You like me. You really like me! No, really... You like me?

My FIRST award.

(Quiet down there people, you, in the back, shhhhhhh!)

NOW:

"I'd like to thank the Academy... My Parents... I love you MUM! Tomika... my brothers... my cats... the creepy guy down the street who looks at me through an inch of curtain every time I walk past... my chemist... and who could forget the team in hair and make-up *snif* I'd be NOTHING without you... I love you guys!!!"

"And I'd like to send a special THANK YOU out there to Gregory J, without whom I would not have this here golden statuette 200x200px virtual award. Thanks darl!"

*cue music...*

Okay, so apparently there are some rules and whatnot that I must now follow... Semantics I say! But follow I shall. A good girl I am. (Did I seriously just sound like Yoda?)

Here they are:

1. Thank the person who gave you this award.
2. Share 7 things about yourself.
3. Pass the award along to 15 8 bloggers who you have recently discovered and who you think are fantastic!
4. Contact the bloggers you've picked and let them know about the award.

SO:

1.     Done and I mean DONE!

2.     Seven things huh? Hmm...

• I am practically a recluse. If I am not with Tomika doing something I spend most of my days inside. Mostly on this damn PC!
• When I had my Breast Reduction in early June 2009, I had a terrible car accident 10 days afterwards and my stitches burst open leaving me with horrific scars.
• My biggest weakness is ebay.
• I read. A lot. Like, A LOT a lot.
• My favourite guilty TV show is Charmed. I was DEVASTATED when it finished up. (I still watch the DVD's over and over... Shhh.)
• I am a fantastic cook.
• I can sing.
• I used to be a bloody good dancer.
• I HAVE to do things in groups of 5. (Hence my cheating and BOTH these lists being 10 things long.)
• I am a *little bit* of an X-Box junkie. 

3.     Do unto others... With pleasure!

• Amethyst Moon over at Life, Music and Laughter deserves this. She always has a song in her heart.
• Mommy Drinks Because You Cry, CONSTANTLY makes me laugh, unless she makes me cry, or feel bad, in a good way. It's ok because I get it. We are two Motherless Daughters, working it out as we go along.
• Tammy at A Red Neck Diva's Kitchen always has something yummy on the menu.
• The Farm Chicky in the Boondocks of Farmers Wife is sharp as a tack. Don't let those overalls and the straw in her hair fool you!
• JadeLD from Now That I'm No Longer 25 has some AMAZING photos to share. She is one talented woman.
• True Confessions of a Single Mother features the lovely Raine. She is blunt, to the point, honest, and I love her.
• Kristi from Live and Love... Out Loud is just... Beautiful. Nuff said.
• If you are looking for blurting out laughing at the PC screen so that the people around you think you're crazy, you HAVE to visit parentingBYdummies. I have SOO much to learn...
• Shari is a 'perimenopausal parent of preschoolers and an epileptic pug', you can find her at Earth Mother. Watch out though, she's not afraid to get dusty.
• And last but certainly NOT least, I am going to give this award to the beautiful and inspiring Carly from Tune Into Radio Carly. She is just......??? I have NO words to describe her courage and strength. 

4.     Contact the bloggers I picked... You mean I ACTUALLY have to talk to these suckers? WelI I guess sacrifices MUST be made in the name of art.

Hey you, yeah you on the list above. Consider yourself STALKED!
