I've been tagged and I have some awards to pass on!

Summer tagged me. I get to list six unimportant things/habits/quirks about myself. (And believe me, these are very unimportant things but they are definately about me!)

1. I have extremely dry lips. Always have. Nothing helps. I keep thinking someday I will die from some kind of strange lip cancer because my lips peel so much. I have chapstick hidden everywhere.

2. I love home made french fries!!! With Fry Guys fry sauce. I could eat this every day! Yummy! (Wait, I do eat this every day! My family would like some variety with our meals but hey, french fries go with everything. Sometimes I forget to make the everything part though. That's when my french fries obsession gets me into trouble.)

3. I always have cold toes, feet, hands, bum! Hubby is always so warm and he loves to climb into bed before me and be almost asleep and then have me climb into bed next to him and steal all his heat....NOT!

4. I always wear shoes! I don't like bare feet, I don't like stocking feet, only shoes! All the time! Even when I climb into bed for a nap. I only take them off at night right before I climb into bed. Then I always take off my shoes and huck 'em across the room. (Hubby reminds me each night how much he hates this habit also!)

5. At night, I become very noisy and kind of clutzy! After I finally get all the kids asleep, I'll go into the kitchen to get a drink and all of the cups will fall on the floor, or I'll trip over the chair, or I'll knock something off the counter. I don't have a problem being very quiet in the daytime, but it's impossible for me to be quite at night. I make myself crazy!

6. I am a sucker! (Those are my husband's exact words.) I buy magazines from the poor college kids so that they can go on a cruise, I buy Living Scriptures or Encyclopedia's from the kind returned missionaries, I buy amazing green cleaner from a scarey man at the door, I love to have my carpets cleaned by the kirby salesperson. I have a really hard time saying no. So, please don't knock on my door!

Okay, I tag my sister in-law Julie, Hubby's cousin Heather, and Ally, Ashley, Cindy, and Nicole

Here are the rules:
* Link to the person that tagged you.
* Post the rules on your blog.
* Share 6 non-important things/habits/quirks about yourself.
* Tag 6 random people at the end of your post by linking to their blogs.
* Let each person know they have been tagged by leaving a comment on their website.


Now on for some blog awards:

I recieved this award from Summer.





This award is from Ashley.

And this award is from Ashley, Cindy, and Holly.



Okay, each of these awards was passed onto all of their regular readers and I love this idea, because it is so hard for me to choose who to give awards to, so I am now going to pass this award on to all of my regular readers. I love the friendships that I have made through blogging. I love getting to know each of you and sharing your happy moments and moments of discouragement with you. (Okay, you have the happy moments and I have the discouraging moments) I feel like we are all working through this life together and I am thankful that I get to share these experiences with you! So, if you are reading this post, then these awards are for you! Take them! This also includes those friends who gave them to me!


I also recieved this award from Ashley!


"The rules for being A Roar For Powerful Words recipient are that I share 3 writing tips and pass the award on to 3 more bloggers worthy of recognition and esteem..."

I really liked Ashely's writing tips so I'll just pass her's on.


1. Write what you know.
2.Write what you love.
3.Give people a little insight to who you are.

I pass this award to Jenna at Cranberry Corner because I have cried more times reading her blog and I really love the spirit that she gives out in her posts, Magirk at Laughadaisy because her Gratitude Sunday posts always help me put the important things of my life into proper perspective, and Holly? at Confessions of a Not so Holly Homemaker because even though I have no idea what her name really is, her confessions are like therapy for me!

Now it's getting late and my 5 minutes were up a while ago so have a great Sunday Night!

I wonder if dry lips and being cold all the time are related. Because I'm the same way. The heat is always cranked up over here.

Ally said...

Congratulations on your awards! And thanks bestowing one on me! ;)

I loved your quirky things list. I have cold extremities also. Always! And my hubby is really nice about sharing his body warmth.

I'm the same way about buying things from whoever! We actually had to make some Family By-Laws which include a rule about not being able to buy from door-to-door people on the spot. That way, I have an out by telling them that 'our family by-laws say I can't buy anything right now, but if you let me talk to my husband and think about it, we'll see.'

Silly.

Thanks for tagging me. I promise I'll get to it in the next few days! :)

For the last 2 years in a row, I've bought magazines from the inner-city teens that are trying to get out of the ghetto! I told myself, NO MORE! Atleast I'm taking a years break!
Thanks for your comments on my blog! You are always so sincere and so nice to me. Thank you!

I enjoyed learning more about you (and the fact that you know my sister as well!).

I completely understand about the cold hands, feet, bum, etc. My husband is a heater, which can be great for about 5 minutes - then I feel like I'm suffocating. He cringes when I cuddle up to warm up but is great to deal with it!

Hi. Thanks for commenting on my post about depression. One of the things that helped me most was discovering the 12 Steps and using them to come to terms with it. Since I'm LDS, I prefer the Heart t' Heart version of the steps and I like how those steps are fully supported by Book of Mormon teachings. This book has also been a huge help.

AAWWW!! You're so nice! My first award!!! I'll be sure to pass it on!

Holly (2 Kids and Tired) said...

All well-deserved awards! And, I'll be tmy hands and feet are colder than yours. Guaranteed!

Jenna said...

Wow! Thanks for this award and your kind words. I don't even know what to say except thank you. Sorry to have missed out the last few days. As you could see from my blog, I've been busy! You made my day!
