Lovely Blog Award


Several months ago I was doing some catch up reading of LaLa's blog and saw that she had so kindly  awarded my little bitch and moan blog this honor.
I have been blogging for so many years with no one ever seeing me that this recent shift of having followers and now an award was A LOT to process.
So LaLa I am sorry for the delay in responding but here is my long awaited response.
*****
 Fistly,
I feel SUPER DUPER honored that I have received this Lovely Blog Award from LaLa

Per the honors here are 7 random facts about me:

1. I am incredibly superstitious. So much so that sometimes I will not let you say certain things at certain times. See I can not even tell you what that is and why! I have incorporated this so well into my life that I barely know that I am doing it anymore!

2. I often have the desire to honk at random people for random reasons. I drive a lot and often times when I pass a car that has someone picking their nose, or talking on the phone or if someone is just walking down the street I want to honk my car horn at them. It is like the least used thing in my car... I barely use my horn. I wonder if anyone has ever had to replace their horn from overuse?!humm

3. I LOVE the smell of wet earth, maybe it is from all my gardening, or that it evokes childhood memories, but I find it so very comforting. If they made a spray of that smell I would spray it on my pillow so I could smell it as I drifted off to sleep.

4. I often think there are ghosts in my house. I wake up almost every night thinking that someone is in my bedroom watching me sleep.

5. When I get dressed up, I spend a good bit of time putting on make-up (this might be because I really don't know how to do it so I am teaching myself at the same time) and then after looking at myself, wipe it off with my hands leaving my face in a state of half made up/ half back at square one.

6. I watch home shopping channels to see how people talk for so long about light bulbs or other things like that. I am training myself to be able to talk to anyone about anything!
 
7. I sometimes can not see the defining line between people and animals and so when I look at animals, like baboons, I only see a being, no different than you or me.
 
 
I have had to adjust the conditions a little to maintain anonymity and to account for the fact that I don't read a lot of blogs...I window shop on ETSY and art supply stores a lot.

Here are the blogs I read the most/ favorite blogs:

Clearly there is LaLa's blog, I love her candid nature and real ideas:
 
The first blog I started to read when I was looking for infertility blogs was Lisa's:
 
I ADORE Nicole's Blog, and she writes so wonderfully:
 
From a friend on the other side of the world, Mali always has such wonderful insight:
 
There are a couple blogs that I "drop-in on" that are currently discussing children or are actively/passively trying to have children or have them:
 
KitVonD is a woman show has been riding a roller coaster of emotions in this last year, she is also in the middle of making her life the one she wants, we can all applaud that!
 
and I always love to simply read this blog, I have for years and years,
Eden is funny, clever, honest and quirky...
warning she is a mom, and does talk about and show her kid...but also her bulldog, clothing choices and lunch
 
 
Thank you again LaLa
you made me feel so special

Aw, you are so gracious and sweet that I feel like I won an award myself! :D

I will always love reading your blog - even when you are going through hell, your writing is so meaningful and moving.

I love that you're superstitious and have little rituals and verboten phrases... I do that too.
