Catching up on some awards...

I completely forgot to post about some awards that I've been given...

Rachel at it's the little things that make me smile gave me the Friend's Award. Her blog is so cute! She was my intern a few years ago and we have remained good friends.

Here are the rules: These blogs are exceedingly charming. These kind bloggers aim to find and be friends. They are not interested in self-aggrandizement. Our hope is that when the ribbon of these prizes are cut, even more friendships are propagated. Please give more attention to these writers. Deliver this award to eight bloggers who must choose eight more and include this cleverly-written text into the body of their award.

I am very happy to tag the following blogs:
Brown Eyed Girl
Lisa at Like a Valentine
Life at the White House
Gigi at Gigi's Gone Shopping

Catching up on some awards...

Things have been really busy the last couple of weeks (thank goodness I had a bunch of posts already written) so I'm finally catching up on my reader (I was very tempted to just hit mark all as read) and discovered I was given a couple of awards. Sorry I'm not following the rules of each award but I'm still pretty busy but wanted to make sure I gave these lovely ladies a big Thank You for the awards!

Thanks to an amazing woman and friend, Michelle at Our Roads Traveled for the Premios Dardos blog award. This award acknowledges the values that every blogger shows in his or her effort to transmit cultural, ethical, literary, and personal values every day.

And in the spirit of passing along the love, here's how it works:

Step 1: respond and rework -- answer the questions on your own blog, replace one question that you dislike with a question of your own invention, add one more question of your own.
Step 2: tag - eight other bloggers to do the same.

8) If you could go to the Oscars, who would you want to sit next to? Hmmmm. This is a tough one. I dunno.

9) Has a celebrity's hair cut ever influenced your own hairstyle? Not really. I've pretty much had the same long hair.

10) What is your most frightening moment? I was in a car accident in 2004. Had to be rushed in an ambulance, my car was totaled. Very scary moment in my life.
