~Spreading the Love~

Man, I've been meaning to do this forever.  Two very special ladies gave me the Sunshine Award--one, almost a month ago and one gave it to me today.  So I decided that I wasn't going to skip out on it once and for all.


The hella cool chick that gave it to me a month ago was Jamie of Stuck in a World of Blue & Camo and the other cool chick who just gave this to me today is Mrs. Smith of Mr. and Mrs. Smith.  Both are such sweet ladies and I am honored that they chose to share this award with me.  Do me a favor, will ya?  And stop by both of their blogs when you have a chance.

Well, I've seen different rules for this award, but I'm going with this set:

You have to share 7 random things about yourself

&

Pass the Award On to 7 other ladies who brighten up your day.

So here goes:

1.  One of my biggest pet peeves is going to Walmart (or any other store) and seeing carts all over the parking lot.  I mean, how hard is it for people to put their carts away?  Our Jeep got scratched because of a certain lazy someone.  And it's so bad here in El Paso.  Even Malu is getting annoyed with it...and he's hard to annoy.

2.  I've never had anything major done in a hospital before...i.e. no broken bones, or anything more than a UTI.  So having this ECV tomorrow is totally freaking me out.  Hell, the labor and delivery is freaking me out more.  I know I'll be okay, but it's all still very frightening to me.

3.  I ALWAYS have to make the bed in the morning...even if it takes all kinds of work with the many pillows I have on my bed.  If I don't, it kinda throws my whole day off.  Malu hates having the bed done because he likes to be able to jump into it whenever.  So as a part of our "reintegration" period--I'm compromising and letting him have his way....at least every other day.  I can only take the sight of a messy bed for so long.

4.  I'm just now realizing that I missed the newest episode of The Real Housewives of New Jersey tonight.  Bummer.  Oh well, I'm sure they'll show re-runs for the rest of the week. 

5.  I really want a Dyson vacuum.  I have for a while now.  I think I'm going to get one when we get to Germany.

6.  I also secretly want to get a European car when we get to Germany--an Volkswagen, BMW, or a Volvo.  Just seems like it's something everyone that goes overseas to Germany does when they get there or get ready to PCS back to the states.  Gosh, am I really trying to jump on that bandwagon?

7.  I'm so excited...I'm having my blog re-designed here soon. I've been dying for a new look and found someone who can do it beautifully and inexpensively.  I can't wait for you guys to see it.

Anyway....and drumroll please.....I am very excited to share this award with the following (and if you guys have the award already, well, then you're doubly loved!):

I just got a DYSON and LOVE IT!! now I got it this way..at Kohl's...it was on sale, then I had a 15% off coupon, then it was a day when they give cash back - so I got $70.00 back to use in the store. I went back to the store and got a coffee pot and some pots/pans!! You will LOVE IT!! I find it amazing!

The cart thing bugs me too, especially at Walmart because they have those cart docks everywhere!! I always put mine back.
I'm not a big bed maker...I pretty much leave it alone because I'm just going to get back in at night, lol JP has to have it made though so I'll make it every few days to make him happy.

Somebody put a dent in my brand new Mercury Mariner (when it was still brand new) - made me SO mad. People are so inconsiderate!

I am also a bed maker - my husband could care less!!

Thanks for your sweet comments :)

Good luck with the ECV! Praying it goes well for you! Can't wait to see the blog re-design!

More Than Words said...

Thank you for the award, Michelle!!! So sweet to think of me!!!

I hate having a messy bed too! It feels incomplete if I don't fix it first thing in the morning!

Our friend sold us his fairly new Dyson a few months back, and I LOVE it!!!!
