The Smile Award! Who? Me?
Awww shucks. I'm blushing. :). Colleen nominated me for this special award. Thanks Girl. Didn't know you could do bloggy awards. Didn't even know I was nominated, so I don't have a speech prepared. Good thing I was dressed and had my hair combed when I came to peek at my computer this morning.(okay, just dressed) That would have been embarrassing!
So I get to pass the award on to 5 people. I want to do a back-at-cha to Colleen, cause girl, your blog makes me smile BIG. Love the Livi and Addison stories. Those girls have me peeing my pants on a regular basis(I've had that problem checked out. All is good. :) )
Here's the deal though. I have never been one to like having to pick people. I don't like people getting left behind. And the truth is, EVERY blog I read makes me smile! Why would I read a blog that didn't make me smile? I don't have time for that kind of nonsense! Sheesh. Does Anybody?
So I am going to randomly choose from my list of blogs that I frequent. Laugh if you will. But this is how I roll! And Since EVERY one of you makes me smile, its a fool proof system. Feel free to steal my method. I do not have a patent. Besides, I like to share.
