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!

Thanks so much for the award hunny! I'm a little behind on my blogging. I still have to finish my award from Barry. But I'll get there.
ReplyDeleteI hope this coming week is better than last ... wouldn't be difficult ...
Love ya girlfriend!
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.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your award lovely!! And sleeping in...I did it today and it was amazing!!
