Birthday accolades- August 3, 2010
Today is my 29th birthday. I’m not 29 like you say you’re 29 because you don’t want to turn 30. But the real-deal-born-in-1981-and-now-it’s-2010-29. Yesterday I got the lovliest pre-birthday surprise. My sweet blog friend Laura at Cirque Du Matos Family nominated me for a blog award.
There are a few things I must do in order to accept the award.
1) Thank the person who gave me the award.
2) Share seven things about me.
3) Nominate 15 newly discovered blogs, and let the nominees know about the award
Thanks Laura! It’s an honor to be recognized by other bloggers in my niche. I am truly flattered. Plus, I love praise and adoration even when it’s not my birthday.
1) Pink is my favorite color. The company who did the table linens for my wedding referred to my stuff as “Barbie’s wedding.”
2) I hate shows like The Bachelorette, The Bachelor, Gossip Girl. No offense, I know people love them, but I seriously feel like my IQ is dropping when that crap is on TV.
3) The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, Family Guy, now THAT is smart humor! Those are my kind of shows!
4) Cereal is my favorite food.
5) I got a Nook for my birthday. I researched the difference between the Sony E-Reader, the Kindle, and the Nook.
6) I loved New Kids On The Block when I was a kid. No lie. I had NKOTB shoelaces. This fact is slightly embarassing now.
7) I will never get a puppy again. We adopted our adult dog and she is the greatest ever. She came trained at 1 1/2 years old with all her shots. She is the coolest dog on the planet. It’s probably good to be anti-puppy since I’m suddenly pro-baby. Puppy and baby poop would be more than I could handle.
New blogs I love and hearby nominate…. (You’ve heard of some of these before. Many are not new.)
1) Inguene Mom Because I aspire to her blog ambition and prowess.
2) Flip Flops and Pearls Because Southern girls stick together.
3) Mama Bytes Because I love Kristen’s tweets and pink hair.
4) Confessions of a Dr. Mom Because I should’ve studied harder so I could be a Dr. Blogger MD.
5) Life and Times of a Self-Proclaimed Saucy Bitch Because I have mad love for people in NJ who are not Snookie.
6) The Fickle Nickle Because I love the retro look.
7) Babblings of a Mommy Because I love clothes.
8) Spilled Milk Because she’s an attorney who writes in more than “legal speak” and she writes beautifully!
9) Two More Seconds Because that’s what I need too.
10) 1,000 Reasons I’m a Crap Mom Because 999 reasons would totally suck.
Okay, so I only got to 10. So did Laura. Plus, It’s my birthday in case you hadn’t gathered that from the rest of this self-indulgent post. I want to have a little fun and be a little lazy.
Spread it around:
haha your too funny, Happy BIrthday!!!!

Happy Birthday, Congrats on your award, and THANK YOU!!! You are too sweet.
And yes… Jon Stewart. That's entertainment!
Happy Birthday!!! Love you!!
Awww-thank you!! I'm honored! I'll warn you-I'm usually pretty horrible about getting these up-but I plan to do it this week! You are so awesome!! (And can you believe I used to hate the color pink?)
I hate all those shows too. You are definitely not the only one!!
Happy Birthday and Congratulations!! And…thanks so much for sharing the love, and passing on the reward to me, so kind!
Happy Birthday!!! My husband turns 30 this October & I think he wants to stay 29. haha
Congrats on your award & thank you so much for passing it to me!!
Also – I have to admit I totally watch Gossip Girl, but I don't like most reality TV. I hate the Bachelor & Bachelorette stuff. But I do have a major soft spot for tv in general. It's bad. I watch way too much of it. Gossip Girl is definitely on my list. My IQ probably is dropping. But I've been one of those on-the-go all the time people – working full time & going to school full time & if I didn't sit in front of the tv & pretty much veg out, I would keep going until I crash. LOL so maybe it's ok?? Probably not, though.
And I would LOVE to hear about your research on the different readers – Kindle, Nook, etc. I've been thinking about buying one, but I haven't had the time to even begin to research! What's the difference??
