The Happy Award

Thank you all so much for your sweet comments regarding my friend's death. I'm still trying to make sense of it all...

The past week has been miserable for me, but I did have one little glimmer of happiness. My dear friend Barry, from Life in Quotations, honored me with the Happy Award. He is one of the most awesome people I have ever met (online or offline) in my life. Please check out his blog!



The rules for this award are:

1. List 10 things that make you happy.
2. List 10 bloggers that brighten your day.

Ten things that make me happy:

1) Barry's blog (seriously, go check it out)
2) getting off work early
3) good hair days
4) shopping for clothes, shoes, handbags, jewelry
5) compliments from a cute guy
6) writing my blog
7) my friends (yes, you)
8) Chipotle
9) sleeping in on weekends
10) getting along with my parents

And ten blogs that brighten my day to receive this award:

1. Getting Fit and Loving It
2. Fashion Layne
3. Minute By Minute
4. Extra Dressing on. the. Side
5. English Rose
6. As I Wrote One Day
7. French Charming
8. Tia Cherie
9. OceanDreams
10. Social Climbers


If you head over to Barry's blog you will notice a really cool project he is working on called "Bloggers Over Borders." It is basically a way to connect bloggers beyond the screen. I encourage everyone to participate, as it will bring our community closer together!

I hope you are all having a wonderful weekend! Please forgive my absence this past week. It has been a struggle. I will catch up with all of you soon, I promise! xoxo!

Jennifer, I'm so glad I was able to lift your spirits if even a little. You know you're never far from my mind and I care about you a great deal, you're a great friend and meeting you was one of the best things that happened to me last year.

Thanks so much for mentioning my "Bloggers over Borders Project". (I still need you to send me a mailing address).

Treacle said...

I'm just now catching up, but wanted to offer my belated condolences for your loss. It's hard to understand why people make the decisions they make, but I think the best thing to do right now is be supportive of his wife and child and the tremendously difficult journey they have to face right now. You're in my thoughts.
