Random Stuffs

Firstly, 'cuz it's most important, I've finally been chosen for the Excellent Blogger Award by Tami @ One Scrappy Chicklet. Thanks so much for realizing my blogging potential, even if I haven't had the ambition to blog in a few days! In blogging tradition, I will TRY to nominate another 10 people for this award who don't already have it, but I think I may be stretching that a tad since nearly everyone I visit has it already.
1) T-Bone, you guys knew this would be choice #1 right? 'Cuz he's my better half. He's the chow in my der. He's the spagh in my etti. And he's just plain funny. Really, I'm not saying this because he is standing behind me with a poker to my back. Nope not me. He really deserves it. And he better quit slacking even more than I do on posting.
2) Sara at Sarandipity. She was the first blog that I ever read, and is the reason that I started blogging myself. Oh, and she's been there for me since we were like, knee high to a grasshopper. Which for her, wasn't all that long ago at her short stature. She's quirky, she's smart, and she likes to roleplay. How cool can one chick be?
3) Shell is the author of C Shell somethin' somethin' seashore slash kids. Lol, it's quite the title that ties up my tongue each time, and I purposely posted it wrong. She's on a mission to coax her hubby into 5 little munchkins running around, and somehow she has managed to talk him into lucky #4 that she is now sporting around.
4) Wendy hails from Life in the Button Factory. She found me through some menu planning at another site, and I have found that we have a few things in common. Like, we are determined to set out on desserts that we know will be a complete fiasco, but we forge on anyway.
5) KellyJean @ Laughing Always Helps is being chosen, although I swear she has been nominated by another blogger, but I can't seem to find a post about it on her site. She's a sweetheart of a lady, who is toughing it out through some serious times. Hop on over and give this lady some much needed love!
Am I done yet? I gotta be close, right? What?? Only half way? What the hell...
6) My Wooden Spoon, A Cowboy's Wife, and Blogging with Cents author Lori is one heck of a busy woman! And she's always giving stuff away, so why shouldn't she be nominated? Let's never mind that she has one of those uber coolerific Blogger's Choice Awards for Best Food Blog, everyone can use another award!
7) ClaireBoe is a fun spirited lady with loads on her hands between homeschooling The Prince and The Princess, while taking care of The Gear Head. Another site that I thought was chosen for the award, yet I can't find it on their blog!
8) The Baroness is one oddly funny lady. She refers to herself in the third person, and also considers herself an assistant to herself. Don't stand there looking all confused, go check her out.
9) Eternal Flux is a heart warming, thoughtful blog that I just stared at for 10 minutes trying to remember the poor lady's name that is the author of it. Please don't lynch me, I swear I think I knew it at one point and now I feel like an ass. But I really do go there!
10) Yanno what? I just don't have it in me. I ain't got 10. Slay me now, it means that I need to travel in my own circle of blog goodness in order to gain new friends!

Just an FYI, I found where KellyJean was nominated, but I ain't changing it dang it! I got 9 out of 10, and I didn't have to tell you that I knew she was chosen previously. I could have acted clueless. Not that I don't most of the time anyway.

I was tagged with a Meme, so I should get that out of the way. Thanks to the ever thoughtful Asthmagirl for pointing the finger in my direction. Here's what's going down...

(1) Link to the person that tagged you.
(2) Post the rules on your blog.
(3) Share six non-important things/habits/quirks about yourself.
(4) Tag six random people at the end of your post by linking to their blogs.
(5) Let each random person know they have been tagged by leaving a comment on their website.

Let's get cracking shall we?

O-N-E) I refuse to make my bed, because I'm just going to use it again. BUT I won't use it again until the sheets are tucked in nicely, and the blankets tossed back onto the bed in such a manner. I should just give up and start making the bed and spare those precious few moments before falling into bed doing something else.

T-W-O) I can barely get the energy up during the winter to shave my legs. Once summer hits, I become a shaving freak. EVERY day, sometimes twice a day, and they have to be lotioned. Sometimes I feel bad that my husband doesn't get the best of my legs during the winter, but he doesn't complain about it. Maybe he should, then he wouldn't have to deal with it.

T-H-R-E-E) I won't take a shower without brushing my hair while I'm in there. With a ton of conditioner in it. My hair is so thick that I can't get a brush through it at any other time. I frequently have hair hissy fits.

F-O-U-R) I frequently reminisce about where the scars on my body came from. Like the ones on the backs of my hands that are a mix of IV misses, IV hits, and little sister dig marks. From nearly 20 years ago. She was vicious. Or the ones on my arm from a nasty little fat albino kid in 6th grade who thought that very long, dracula-looking nails were hip in the guy scene, and used them to flay my arm wide open. Serious infection with that one. When his father was brought into the picture over the incident, he swore that the blood letting was the beginning to a long happy future between us. I can't remember if I puked on the guy's shoes or not, I should have if I didn't.

F-I-V-E) I wish that I could go back and change my teenage years. I would love to finish school (What? Moi? Didn't get a diploma? Damned skippy, and I can verbally dance with the rest of y'all, so there!) Sorry, where was I? Yes, I would love to go back and finish, there are days that I mourn the loss of so much of my younger days that I didn't get to live because I chose another path.

S-I-X) I constantly scope out other female bodies. Yup, I'm admitting that. I mentally critique them, taking note of areas that I would love to have look like that.. areas that had BETTER never look like THAT, and so forth. I don't do it because I crave the female body, I do it so that I know what I'm up against. Yup, I'm vain. Sue me.

Now, I'm tagging T-Bone, Sara, Shell, Tami, Wendy, and ClaireBoe. Whew, I think I'm going to close this post for now, and tag everyone later along with leaving little comments to let people know they should swing by for award pick up. I'm whooped, and it's early.
