Awards, and a little something something for YOU!

GIVEAWAY CLOSED!
#24 is the winner - an email has been sent. THANK YOU to all who participated!

I am SO HONORED whenever I receive a bloggy award from you my fabulous readers!! Truth be told tho, I usually don't have time to complete the questions and all that jazz at that moment, so even tho I APPRECIATE THEM SO MUCH, and am so unbelievably flattered that you thought of me, they usually go undone and sit in my drafts for months at a time (insert epic fail here). Well no longer! I am tackling them here right now!

***********************************************8

Starting with the most recent, my girl Tabitha who blogs over at Diva to Domestic

gave me a lovely shout out! Thanks so much lovely!! XO Her questions:

1. Favorite TV show? House

3. What is your most embarrassing moment? I'm lame-o and can't even think of one!!

Time-outs have been kickin my bum lately (insert crying mommy face here), best part watching them grow into their own little personalities!

Last month my girl Megan from Absolute Mommy Tagged Me!

 Sorry for the delay girly! THANK YOU so much for the tag!

 11 Questions she asked me

1.  Best childhood memory

Having my grandma "Buds" live with us, so we got to spend a lot of time with her

2.  Favorite book

"She"

3.  Why did you start blogging?

As an outlet for me to share our stories and my ramblings to whoever will listen

4.  Your Starbucks order

A large Hot Chocolate. Period. Oh, and a birthday cake pop! Yum!

5.  Harry Potter or Twilight?

LOL! If I HAD to pick I'd say Twilight :)

6.  Favorite 80s movie

When Harry Met Sally

7.  Do you own Toms? (Yeah I'm obsessed)

Sadly, no...

8.  Favorite funny person

The Hubs - for reals! He is HILL.AIR.REE.US! More laughing here.

Most of my pics my eyes are closed and I can't for the life of me keep a straight "model" face, because we are laughing too hard.

9.  Facebook or Twitter

Facebook

10.  Pick a Kardashian

Kourtney

11.  What's on your tv right now?

Glee reruns, love em!

***************************************************************

Last week I received the Versatile Blogger Award from the ever so stylish Lauren from Lauren Rebecca! THANK YOU GIRL!

My 7 random things, which I may or may not have already posted on this blog (wink).

1. I am a see-go-do type of person. I enjoy traveling, and lucky for me so does the Hubs!
2. I can't stand using the bathroom while the fan is running... like for reals, ha! I apologize in advance, to the person who goes after me (wink wink).
3. I am a cry baby. I admit it. I'm ok with it. I cry when I'm happy, when I'm sad, when I laugh hard. I usually cry when I watch a movie, any movie. Disney movies tug at my tear ducts.
4. I secretly enjoy when the hubs pinches my bum, even tho I make a scene about how he shouldn't do that outside the comfort of our own home. I think he knows I like it.
5. I love me some good sappy country song singing, AND some good old Warren G (Regulators! Mount Up). I like to mix it up if you couldn't tell.
6. I hate pumping gas. Period.
7. I only shave my legs like every three months, if that. For reals. My leg hair doesn't really grow ??
How's that for random? Haha!
Aren't you glad Lesley gave us the award now? Thanks again!! We appreciate it!

Hope you enjoyed getting to know us a little more. Hopefully not too much information, ha!
