Sunshine, Sugar & Happy Friendship

I know, soooo not how I usually start a post, right?  Hey, even sarcastic snipers like me are ooey, gooey and lovey once in a while.

Woot!  More awards to gracefully accept and pass on!

I have a confession to make.  Two, actually.

I looooove getting awards.  However, I don't like obeying the rules.  So don't hate on me too much if I don't follow them.  My blog is the one place in my life where I can feel free from all the daily rules and etiquette that I'm forced to comply with at work and in life, so cut me some slack.  Pretty please?

Besides.

Everyone likes reading the "10 Random Things About Me" on other people's blogs, but no one likes taking time to think up and write down the ten random things about themselves.  Sometimes, the randomness cannot be forced into existence; and trying to be random becomes much like trying to poop when you're constipated... uncomfortable and frustrating as hell.

Also, I'm always fretting about putting something down that people will read and think, "Yep that's random alright... and totally not funny or quirky or interesting either.  Lamesauce.  Why did she win an award again?"

I'm also kinda greedy and I really only want the award.  Don't lie, you do too.  If it came with No Strings Attached you'd love it that much more.

Dude, that's a good idea.  Someone with some computer talent (not me, obviously) should totally make a 'No Strings Attached' Award.  That'd be soooooo boss.

So without further ado...

This from the lovely Desert Rose:

I love it, thanks Rose!  I think I'm pretty fab, and Hubs is always telling me I'm a doll.  I'm somewhat doubtful about the sugar part, bu-u-u-u-u-u-ut I'll take her word for it.

She, however, is a Sugar Doll!  She is always so cute and fun, and somehow reading her blog calms me, even when she's telling zany, crazy stories.  Go check her out!

The Sugar Dolls who I'm giving this to are:

J @ rbandj

T @ It's My Moment To Shine

Sarah @ Sarah Says...

Steph @ Here I Go Thinking Again

Johanna @ The Mercurial Wife

Next come this one from Steph @ Watching Airplanes:

And I'm in love with it!  Orange is my favorite color and I'm obsessed with it. (There's a random fact for you.  See?  Random facts are like poo!  They come out better if you don't force them.)

Very fitting coming from her, since most of the time her posts are warm and sunny and honest.  Steph is this rockin' military wifey and she never has a pity party for herself even when she's having a rough day.  She's awesome!

My peeps who bring me some sunshine are:

Pearl @ Pearl, Why You Little...

Susie Q @ Out Of The Ordinary

mrs. b @ Discovering Wildlife

Kat @ Happy Hour... Somewhere

And last but certainly not least... this award from not one but THREE of my peeps! Johanna @ The Mercurial Wife, T @ It's My Moment To Shine, and Rose @ Desert Rose Moments.  How flattered do I feel to get an award from three different people in the same week?  Thanks, you guys!

I already told you Rose is the biggest sweetheart ever!

Johanna and I are new to each other but she very much rocks!  She's very witty and funny.  I love her blog because she is quite obviously independent and not a Zombie Wife!  Her blog is hilariously honest, and she's great at telling it like it is.  Visit her, you wont be sorry.

T is... well, maybe you should go see for yourself, because I'm at a loss for words to describe her fabulousness right now.  Yes, she's that good.  But reader beware... she's got more of a mouth on her than I do (I know, I didn't think it was possible, either.)!  And that's why she's fab.

My super sweet friends who get this one are:

Rita @ Fighting Off Frumpy

Theresa @ Always In Bluhm

Meg @ Inside My Head

Meg @ Lost In Thought

Thanks for all the blog love, y'all! ♦
