I'm Famous

Not really but I did receive an award this week--a very special award. Almost like an Emmy or a Golden Globe. My forever friend (I've known her since before she was born--our dads have been best friends since they were 13 and our moms since they've been married to our dads), presented me with this yesterday--

I am so honored, I'm just speechless. I want to thank all the little people that have helped make this blog happen. Particularly...Hannah, Grace, and Joe who provide endless blog fodder. And thank you to Jill for making my day with this award. :0)

With this award comes some responsibility--I must now present this award to three deserving bloggers. This is a very hard decision to make. I read about 20 to 30 blogs pretty regularly and  most of those blogs are written by personal friend of mine.  So, choosing three blogs was definitely a challenge.  I decided to copy Jill's criteria in making my decision.   I based my decision on the following:
* How often do you update your blog? 
* The content of the blog - is it always the same or do you mix it up a bit
* My interest in your blog - does it capture me, does it spark my interest in new things?

And...drumroll please, here are the winners:

Capicola--if you've ever read this blog you'll know why I chose it.  AnnMarie is hilarious and real and engaging.  

Tree Climbing Adventures--Lori makes me laugh and think, both in equal measures.  Perfect combo!

BooMama--her weekly Office posts are great!  

Of course, I love all the blogs I read for many different and varied reasons.  I'm loving the blog world and getting to hear about everyone's lives and see pictures.  Even those of you I see all the time--I still love reading your blog, even if I've already heard about what you are writing about.   Even if I was there.  I still love reading.

Well...I love your blog too. And that Tree Climbing Chick's. And Ann Marie's. (That's a grab a cup of coffee kind of blog...except I have to be careful not to spew because I usually end up cracking up at what's written.) So I went over to this BooMama's blog and was immediately taken with it...so it's official. You and I have exactly the same "blog taste."

That's so cool! What great company to be in. I've been a huge fan of Boo Mama's for a while and Ann Marie totally cracks me up. Thanks so much for brightening my day:)
