How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

Like you haven’t heard enough about me!

in Uncategorized on 07/04/09

I am way behind and accepted a lovely award which I simply must pass along!
Sweet thanks to Colleen over at Martin Family Moments!
Check this out.
To accept this award, I must list 7 personality traits about myself and I must pass this award onto 7 other blogs that deserve such fine recognition for the personalities that they share with the blogging world.
So here it goes, look out I’m going to be spreading my personality all over you!
1. I am a talker. I will chat with anyone from the clerk behind the counter to the new Mom on the playground. Life is too short, must chat. (I’m not sure my kids would agree)
2. On the complete opposite end of the spectrum, I love my quiet. Give me a good book, a cup of hot chocolate and a roaring fire and I am one happy girl.
3. I have no patience for liars. Thinks that sums it up. If you don’t want the truth from me, don’t ask. I’ll be nice about it, but I’m your friend who will somehow tell you “Yes darlin..you look fat in those pants.”
4. I can be fierce. Do not wrong my children or my Hubby. I will protect them with every once of my being. Clearly there is a lioness inside of me…I think she came to be with the birth of my first child.
5. I am, or have been too trusting. Perhaps even a little naive. I take people at their word. That can be a hard lesson to learn.
6. I do not forgive easily. (but I am working on that)
7. I love with my whole heart. My husband and our relationship, my children, my family and friends. I would do anything for this group of wonderful people. I am blessed to have them in my life and thank God for them everyday.

I think some of those personality traits shine through in my blog…if not stay tuned, more to come:)

Now I get to pass on this little baby to 7 other bloggers I would like to know a little more about. Forgive me if you have already received it, don’t fret if your not on it. I would have copied this award to every single one of you but my gosh I take forever to do the little linky love thing!

So the award, should you choose to accept it, goes to:
Danielle over at Stiletto Chicken
Don’t you just love that name?
Amy at And 1 More Means four She is too cute.
Tiffany at Paging Doctor Mommy She is my newest read. If you head on over please tell her I say Hi!
Kathleen over at If I wasn’t smiling, I’d be crying! I promise you will be intrigued.
ZoesMom at where else but ZoesMom She has some amazing posts!
Another new read of mine is over at ThatGirlBlogs. Great blog. That. Girl. Blogs. Baby!
Oh and of course I can’t forget to send you to China! Adventures in China to be exact!

Hope you get to know and love these bloggers as much as I do!

Thanks again Colleen
Oh Wait!!
I have just decided you need me to brag about myself a wee bit more! ThetaMom gifted me with One Lovely Blog Award today!

I realized I just passed this little lovely on recently and don’t want to become a bore so instead I will please ask you to jump on over to Theta Mom’s blog with a cup of joe and have a great read!
Thanks again for this lovely award, I really do appreciate it!
Mwah!

      Hey there! I wanted to come by and thank you for stopping by my blog and leaving the lovely comments.

      I appreciate it greatly.

      I’ve jumped on as a follow because anyone that can write such brilliant passive aggressive letters is A-okay in my book. Cathartic no?

      Anyways, feel free to come back anytime to visit or follow.

      All the best- THL

      Congrats on your awards!

      Fierce is good. Those who know me know that I can be fierce, but those who don’t, oh poor unsuspecting folks. 🙂

      Have a great weekend!
