Addicted to Blog Love

I don't know about you, but I absolutely love coming back to my blog and seeing all those people who took time to stop by and drop me a line. lol In my previous blog I mentioned that I was going to try my damnedest to keep up with my blog because I really do enjoy it. Due to my absence, I have gotten behind on all your wonderful lives and blogs. lol So, these last couple days I have spent just reading blogs and spreading blog love to everyone I can.

WOW, a lot had been happening in blog world and it seems I am NOT the only one going through life changes and are in a type of funk. I am also not the only who is determined to turn it around and take control of their lives again. (GOOD FOR YOU!) It does seem to make me feel better reading everyones' blogs and their comments on mine, NOT because Misery loves company, but because I feel like my blogger friends and I our more of a support group for one another. :-) It is amazing how a bunch of strangers with a common interest like blogging, can help each other get through some of the rough times in life. Not to mention, give great feedback and suggestions on so many subjects. SO, I just wanted to take the time and a say a few things to my blogger friends out there!

First things first!

During my absence I have received two awards from my fellow bloggers and I would like to take a moment to thank them properly. My first award that was given to me is the Rose Award from WalkingInADream over @ Fantasy Is A Strong Weapon. Apparently this is for being beautiful and just being me! What a wonderful award, thank you so much Walking! It takes one to know one! Love and kisses to you.

My second award was given to me by the lovely Momma Young over @http://mommayoungs-at-home.blogspot.com/. She awarded me the Friendship Award. Thank you so much sweetie!
"The Friendship Award is given to blogs that are exceedingly charming. These kind bloggers aim to find and be friends. They are not interested in self-aggrandizement. Our hope is that when the ribbons of these prizes are cut, even more friendships are propagated. Please give more attention to these writers. Deliver this award to those bloggers who must choose at least 5 more and include this cleverly-written text into the body of their award.”

I know you haven't posted in awhile and you probably won't read this during this time, but I just wanted to let you know that I miss you and I hope you come back soon. From their last post most of these people are just out there living life. Good for you! RL is more important and I will still be here when you decide to write again. I am patient and I am not the kind of blogger that drops you if you haven't posted in a while. ~Hugs

These bloggers are usually up on their game and are blogging away all the time with great stories and interesting topics. Quite a few of them were just down right hilarious! Always a good thing! Even when I wasn't writing anything, sometimes I would just log on to read a few of them here and there.

My Apologies to the following:

Life in the Cube
My Twisted Blog

Tales from the Salti Peaks

The Soccer Mom Files

The (Trailer) Parks Farm

The World According To J.J. in L.A.

Unspoken Words From that One Curly Fry in the Box of the Regular
Venom, Secrets, & Lies

I had just started to follow these blogs or they had just started to follow me...then I disappeared...fell off the face of the blogging world. I am sorry. :-) Hope we change that LOL Hopefully, you hadn't given up on me.

Anyway, I just had to get that off my chest :-) Off to go read today's posts! I'll write more later!

P.S. What is this Wordless Wednesday thingy? Can anyone help a girl out? I think it looks like fun, but I am not sure on the rules and such.

And The Award Goes To....

IT'S AWARD DAY HERE ON SLEEPY'S BLOG!!Hey everyone....So, I have been reading a lot of blogs lately. I have found myself drawn into many of them. Of course I have my favorites just like everyone else, but I have decided to do something about it. lol I want to show my appreciation for my fellow blogger's and give them an award from little 'ol me. It may not mean much to you, but your blog means something to me. Basically, you make my day just a bit more enjoyable.

Now I am the only judge here, but it doesn't make my award any less important then anyone else's. :-) I made all of these myself. I may have borrowed an idea for one or two of them, but I had to put special touch on them. If you are one of my winners feel free to display or post the award on your blog. Instead of presenting you with a trophy....since it is from me, I put my award on little pillows with cherries on them. Hope you like them!

Needsleepy's Blogger Appreciation Awards!!

This one goes to Vodka Mom over @ I Need a Martini Mom. If you have not read her blog you need to; OMG she is so creative in her posts and always has me laughing! Thank you for the great stories and letting me share them with you.

This one I HAVE to give to Super Mom over @ Breed 'em and Weep. Whether she is having a shitty day or a fabulous day...her stories just draw you in. I read her posts everyday! I love following stories with her hilarious children and of course her special man in her life. Sometimes she just writes about weird and off the wall stuff that comes out of nowhere, it's GREAT! Again, if you have not taken the time to read this one....you should! Thanks for keeping my day entertaining....always!

This one goes to Maki over @ w/ Love, Sincerely - Posh Mom's Diary. Without fail Maki has got to be one of the best bloggers to keep up on her comments. She takes the time to respond to comments made on her blog as well as leaving comments on all those blogs that she reads. Many of us tend to "put this off til later." I know I am guilty!! For the record, I read blogs all the time....I just don't always comment.....it doesn't mean I do not love you!! Thanks for showing the love hun!

I am awarding this one to Dawn over @ Organized chaos. I like the fact that she changes things up and you never know what the post topic will be from one day to the next. I have only been following her for a short time now, but she has already got me hooked! /blows kiss

This blog is going out to Ellabee over @ A Pint of Dreams if you read her blog you will quickly find out that she is Supergirl! lol As I read her blog I am finding we have a lot of similarities. Which of course, in my opinion, is a good thing! Love the blog!

This award goes to Brooke over @ Yada, Yada, Yada..... I love reading about her and Dirk! I sit and read her blog saying to myself "OMG that is like me and Adam!" lol She depicts the fun and not-so-fun moments in marriage perfectly. She has some great stories about married life, and because I can relate to it SO much I think you might need more than one beer. (It helps lol) Thank you for letting me tag along.

This award goes to Momma Young over @ Momma Young's @ Home. Her blog is passionate, helpful, and informative on many subjects...from cooking recipes, shopping tips, and now supporting "Living Green." Her kindness oozes from comments she makes and the posts she writes. A very pleasant read!

This Award goes to Kendrasue over @ Life in the slow lane. She is one of the Blogger's I read and she usually has a brand new, fresh post everyday. She always writes from the heart and is not afraid to write any topic bouncing around in her head. I love people with no fear like that. Keep it up hun!

Well, there they are! I have more, but I want to save those for another time. I hope you all accept these awards and do not think it is too stupid LOL. Since they are made by me..no one else will have one like it! See....they are special....

--------------------------------------
NOW...I was given an award from Supermom over @ Breed 'em and Weep. She gave me the Fabulous Fucking Blog Award. Thank you sweetie for thinking of me!! So, now I have to share 10 facts about myself, and provide a meaningful quotation. Finally, I have to list 5 people who I believe deserve this award. Wow, another list about ME. If I get too many more of these I will not have any secrets left!




My Facts:

1. EVERY time I spell the word Awesome, I silently recite the Cheer from the football games. A-W-E-S-O-M-E Awesoooome are WE! LOL Don't ask me why.....just a habit.


2. I Do not mind pulling my underware out of my crack in public.


3. I cannot poop in a public restroom. I will hold it until I can get home....if I can. If Not, I will wait for the WHOLE bathroom to clear out and then flush serval times while "dropping the kids off."


4. I go to movies really early so I can get a great seat and watch the previews. I love previews!


5. I sling beers twice a year in the King Of Beers Tavern at the Renaissance Faire. I dress up in costum and everything. It is a blast!


6. I do not sing in the shower.


7. I chew my nails when I read or watch a scary movie.


8. I love the discount/store brand soda that is the knock-off of Dr.Pepper. It is called Dr. Thunder and it rocks.

9. I love taking pictures and having pictures, but I HATE organizing them. I have a ton of pictures in boxes. I do not think I have one photo album that is full.


10. I have a horrible gag reflex! You would think it would be stronger....but in truth it is not. I even gag when I brush my teeth. I can't even hack up a hocker or see someone else do it. It totally grosses me out and I gag...which is very unfortunate during cold/flu season.
