New Awards

Thank you to my fellow bloggers for the TWO awards that I received at the tail end of last week! Thank you! Thank you! Now, you will see some doubles- that's because I'm seeing double...so tired, it's been a long day...

Now to the awards -

First the Bogie Award:



A big thank you to Adrienne...she has this awesome blog, 2 Kids and a Cat - if you haven't been to see her - you need too. Her blog is honest and makes me laugh out loud. That always makes my kids and husband interested in what I'm reading. So - if you like honesty and hilarity all rolled into one - Adrienne's blog is a must see!

So it comes with some contingencies -

~ Link back to the blogger who gave the award (check)
~ Post where I would like to be in 10 yrs (check)
~ Pass it along to 10 fellow bloggers (here it goes...)


Where would I like to be in 10 years - let's see - my eldest would be 16 today - SCARRRRYYYY!!!! I would like to just be raising my family. I'll have a house full of teenagers at that point. Hopefully - we will be college ready (ie savings account stocked, house paid off)....just enjoying life and getting ready to be empty nesters....

Beautiful Blogger Award

Thank you to Nicole My Real Review. Her blog is another must see! She has great giveaways, tips on being green, and living frugally. She has a "theme" of the month - this month was saving money by going green. Come soon (like March), her theme is Gardening 101- I need to tell her I need an at home tutorial - so, she should just come over. Haha! So go ahead - take a minute and visit Nicole.

This one also has stipulations - this time -

~ Thank the person who gave you the award and link to their blog.
~ Copy the award and paste it on your blog
~ List 7 interesting things about me.
~ Nominate either 7 or 15 people for this award (while Nicole when with 15 - I'm going with 7 just because, I have both awards)....

Me - interesting, hmmmmm.

1. Hmm - like Nicole, I played Rugby (she played in HS, I played in college)
2. I was born in Canada, my Mom was born and raised in Ireland, my Dad was born and raised in England, my brother was born in Ireland, and my sister was born here in the States. I heart St. Patrick's Day. We moved here when I was little.
3. I cried when I got my mini-van (a lot). But it has grown on me (a little)
4. I used to sell water heaters, furnaces, air conditioners, air cleaners, and more. When I got promoted I worked with the sales reps who sold natural gas. Now I'm a nurse - doesn't that make sense?
5. When I was in 4th grade the music teacher told me my arms were too short to play the flute. I was determined and I played the flute for 4 years in HS.
6. I hate flying - really hate flying - it freaks me out!!! I don't know why, I've flown a lot in my life, maybe that's why.
7. I am also scared to death of heights, hate em, hate em, hate em. I used to love roller coaster now I'm too freaked out by the height. I keep my eyes closed for the WHOLE ride. My husband laughs at me....
