I Got An Award!

I am so honored to have received this award from Sheri. It seems there are rules that accompany this award. You have to share five addictions. and you have to pass the award on to five other fabulous bloggers.

Here goes...

1. I am addicted to Diet Pepsi. I used to be addicted to Tab when I was in high school, diet coke in college and then when I graduated, I switched to Diet Pepsi. It makes me crazy when I cannot get a Diet Pepsi in a hotel gift shop. I've thought about trying to give it up, but have not actually gone that far.

2. I am addicted to scrapbooking supplies. I love, love, love to purchase paper. My paper collection is out of control.

3. I am addicted to the computer. I spend WAY TOO MUCH time on the computer. I love learning new software programs (I know, kinda geeky), reading blogs and visiting websites. I am now addicted to having a blog. It's so much fun to chronicle the daily happenings in my household!

4. I am addicted to Chardonnay. I don't like any other white wines. I am slowly venturing out and trying red wines. I leave for Napa on Friday and it is my goal to branch out and try different wines with an open mind! I don't like liquor and I only like Corona with a lime when I am eating mexican food.

5. I am addicted to Mexican food. I love it all...the spicier the better!

Now five blogs that I think are fabulous...

I obviously think that all of the blogs on my sidebar are fabulous!

I follow a lot of cancer blogs (people whose kids have cancer, people who have cancer, etc) and some other blogs of people whose circumstances have been less than ideal. While you might think that following these blogs would be depressing, it is not. It is inspiring to see how people are living through their circumstances and coming out on the other end.

http://www.midgetsandmoonpies.blogspot.com/ I followed Catie's journey with cancer back when I was involved with the Baltimore Ronald McDonald House. She passed away one week before her sister was born. Her parents have since added a third child to their brood.

http://canicontrolmylifeificantcontrolmyhair.blogspot.com/ I started following Finn's battle with cancer several years ago. Natalie is very funny and writes about her life with 2 kids in Colorado.

http://half12.blogspot.com/ I just found this blog recently. Tuesday Fiona Whitt passed away on 1/30/2009.

http://www.mycharmingkids.net/ MckMama blogs about her many small children and the life threatening illness that her son was diagnosed with when he was in utero. He was born perfectly healthy!

http://www.kellyskornerblog.com/ Kelly just had a baby girl and unexpectedly had to spend 3 weeks in the NICU.

Some other fun blogs (and websites) that I think are great are...

http://iamjessicarter.blogspot.com/ Jessi is very creative, plans

awesome parties and is a photoshop goddess! Plus, she is a friend of Mo's from MoJoy.

http://www.artformymom.com/site/tribute/ This is a really neat site where a woman creates a work of art everyday in memory of her mother. All proceeds go to cancer research. I have ordered from her and my friend has ordered 6 pieces.

http://www.dailygrommet.com/ I just heard about this site last week. Very fun stuff that you can purchase. Every day at noon a new product is presented.

http://www.graciousmay.com/booties.html It's a good thing I don't have a baby girl. These booties make me want to have another child!

http://www.creativeruminations.blogspot.com/ Bethany is an artist/scrapbooker and also has 5 children. I love her scrapbooking stuff.

See I am an overachiever. Instead of giving you 5 new sites to visit, I gave you 10!
