You ladies are giving me a complex...

Woo Hoo!! It's frickin awards season around these parts!!
Both Ember from Remember Ember and Jana from Boobies, Babies & a Blog both bestowed upon me another Honest Scrap award...yay!!!

and Anita at It's a Sweet Thing gave me the brand spankin new award she just created:
how cute is that????

So the rules say I need to share 10 things about yours truly, things that you may not know, and may not care to know...but I can't think of anything, so I'm breaking the rules, cause thats how I roll. So instead I'm going to amaze you with 10 of my favorite movies, as well one of my favorite line from each.

Drop Dead Fred:
"Hello, snotface. Yuck what happened to you? You're all older, you're even uglier! Look, I'm sorry but I'm going to have to be sick all over you, immediately. Lie down."


Forest Gump:
Lieutenant Dan: "Have you found Jesus yet, Gump?"
Forrest Gump: "I didn't know I was supposed to be looking for him, sir."

Fried Green Tomatoes:
"Towanda will go on a rampage, I'll slip tiny bombs into Penthouse and Playboys so they explode when you open them. I'll ban all fashion models who weigh under 130 pounds! And I'll give half the military budget to people over 65 and declare wrinkles sexually desirable."


Knocked Up:
"You old, she pregnant. Can't have a bunch of old pregnant bitches running around. That's crazy, I'm only allowed to let in five percent black people. He said that, that means if there's 25 people here I get to let in one and a quarter black people. So I gotta hope there's a black midget in the crowd." 


Romy and Michele's High School Reunion:"Hey Romy, remember Mrs. Divitz's class, there was like always a word problem. Like, there's a guy in a rowboat going X miles, and the current is going like, you know, some other miles, and how long does it take him to get to town? It's like, 'Who cares? Who wants to go to town with a guy who drives a rowboat?"




The Way We Were:
Katie: "Wouldn't it be lovely if we were old? We'd have survived all this. Everything thing would be easy and uncomplicated; the way it was when we were young."
Hubbell: "Katie, it was never uncomplicated." 


The 40 Year Old Virgin:
"Oh man, Friday, I really wanted an egg salad sandwich and I was just obsessing about it and I was like, 'Man, I'm gonna make one of those.' So Saturday, I went out and got, like, a dozen eggs and then I boiled them all and I just, I spent, I dunno, probably three hours, like three and a half hours making, you know, the mayonnaise, and the onions and paprika and, you know, the necessary accoutrement. And then, by the time I was done, I didn't really feel like like eating it."

A League of Their Own:
"Great game, Jimmy. I especially liked that move in the seventh inning when you scratched your balls for an hour."

The Birdcage:
"You do an eclectic celebration of the dance! You do Fosse, Fosse, Fosse! You do Martha Graham, Martha Graham, Martha Graham! Or Twyla, Twyla, Twyla! Or Michael Kidd, Michael Kidd, Michael Kidd, Michael Kidd! Or Madonna, Madonna, Madonna!... but you keep it all inside."

Forgetting Sarah Marshall:
"He what? He refused a blow job from his ex-girlfriend mid blow job. Do you know what that's like for a man? It's called blue balls, Rachel. This guy's like Gandhi, but better; he likes puppets. I love puppets. I love Fraggle Rock. I love Lamb Chop. I love Elmo, Sesame Street, Burt and Ernie, Snuffleupagus? Fucks my shit UP. "


And now, to pass these bad boys along!
Here are some of my favorite ladies, and you guys can pick which award you want, or take both!

Happy Tuesday Loves!! 
And a very happy 4 year anniversary to my girl Mayra!!

If I could rearrange the alphabet, I would put U and I together.

Cause I keeps it real, yo.


I really, truly love nothing more than getting awards! 
Seriously, I'm already just a tad bit conceited, and this stuff just shoots it through the roof!


So first off, a big hug and a thank you to Ashley at As a Matter of Opinion.  She rocks, trust me.


Next, I'm supposed to share 10 honest facts about myself. This is getting tougher and tougher....


1.  Husband and I recently started Dave Ramseys Financial Peace. Its not so much they we have a ton of debt(2 student loans) I'm we just aren't good at saving money. Its helping A LOT!

2.  I have a fairly strong addiction to unsweet tea. I ♥ it.


3.  I HATE my job. I wish, on a pretty regular basis, for it to burn to the ground. With nobody in it of course! I'm not some crazy disgruntled worker out for blood!

4.  I'm mixed, my dad is Italian and my mom is black.


5. I love to read. And I'm good at it. I know your probably thinking that readings not really a talent, but I can read super fast. And upside down.


6.  I have a weird fear of making appointments for myself, and up until about age 23, would still have my mom  call and make all my doctors appointments.

7. I was in the spelling club in middle school. But only because they had free donuts every morning, I'm really a terrible speller!

8.  I love to sew, but can rarely find the time too.

9. There are certain words that I can't stand. Like I literally cringe when I hear them. I'm not telling you what they are, because then you'll use them against me. 

10.  I'm not a fan of the outdoors. I'd rather be inside where it's climate controlled and they are no bugs. I HATE bugs!

10 bloggers who deserve this award. hhhmmmmm......
I'm going to be a total jerk and pretend I didn't know about passing this award on...I'm SO exhausted today and can barely type this sentence.....

let the sun shine in, face it with a grin...


Just when I thought the sun would never return and I'd be stuck in snow boots forever,
Jill at Life After College bestowed upon me the Sunshine Award!!
Oh Happy Days are here again!!!

The rules of this award:
1. Put the award on your blog (on the sidebar or in one of your posts). 
Check.

2. Pass it on to 6 fellow bloggers and let them know they have received it. 
I'm on it.

3. Share the love & provide a link back to the person from whom you've received it.
Well, duh!!! Now go check out Jill's blog...NOW!!!

4. Bask in the warm sunshine of your new found fame.
Don't have to tell me twice, I've been basking all day! Unfortunately, the people I work with don't seem to care that I am the recipient of this fabulous award. There were no roses on my desk. No congratulations. Nothing. 
Reminder: Find new job.

Here are my sunshines, my only sunshines....
1.  Drollgirl

On a different note, I was doing dishes last night when I noticed Lincoln being awfully quiet. This is why.
Yes. Thats my child in my dogs kennel. I promise I didn't put him in there, but its too bad he left his snacks on top, or else he probably could have stayed in there all night!!

 Hang up the phone, theres no reason to get The Child Protective Services involved!!
He was sprung as soon as this picture was snapped. 
Want to know whats even worse? He eats dog food. And drinks from the dog's bowl. 
Whatever, it saves me a TON of money on groceries!!

Oh, you think I'M beautiful???

Well I don't know what to say....It's just such a shock!
I'm flattered, really, I wish I would have prepared something...just a little speech, to thank all my fans, all of you at home...(this is how I react to winning an award. I've practiced.)
But, she gave it to me...its mine! Give it back!! 
I want it, I really want it!!!!

The fantastic Tessica at I Hate When He Steals the Covers!
just gave me this awesome Beautiful Blogger award, and it has made my week of deathly illness a whole lot better! Nothing cheers you up and forces you to clean the gunk off your face like an award!
The rules of the game:


1. Thank & link to the person that gave you the award
Thanks Tessica, your the best!! Be my friend forever??? Thanks, k, bye!

2. Pass this award onto 15 bloggers you’ve recently discovered & think are fantastic.
Whoa. You guys aren't playin around. 15?!?!?
Here goes:

3. Contact said Blogs & let them know they've won
ugh. That sounds hard. 

4. State 7 things about yourself
1. I can't make my arms straight. I try, but my elbows are not capable of going straight. This was devastating to me when in middle school I was on the pom-pon squad, and my coach would yell "straighten your arms" and in tears I would cry "I can't, I can't!" Devastating.

2. I have a serious problem putting pillow cases on. I used to make Richard do it, because for some reason it REALLY frustrates me and i get all stressed out. I know. Pillow Cases. I have been working on this affliction, and am proud to say that I can successfully put on a pillow case now, it might just take 10 minutes.

3. My favorite food is a tomato and mayo sandwich, yum!

4. I am deathly afraid of sharks.

5. I was originally going to school to be an architect, but upon realizing how many years I would have to spend in college, said "No thanks!" and got my degree in Advertising instead. Total cop-out!

6. I ♥ vodka. and lots of it.

7. My husband is my best friend (gag)

Yay for it almost being the weekend, hope everyone has a FANTASTIC day!!
