What A Great Day I Had Today!!

It's my dear friend Sherry's birthday today! Everyone wish her a belated birthday as this post won't really hit til the day after. So Happy Birthday Sherry!!! She's the ripe old age that I am.

So it's Sherry's birthday, but somehow I ended up having such an absolutely fabulous day! I hope my birthday will be as good for her.

First I woke up to a wonderful award from Mrs. Cooper.


It's the One Lovely Blog Award. The kids are so proud. At least someone is proud of me.


I'm so tickled to get another award. I'm sure Lily is too. I'll go get her a bone tomorrow to celebrate. Anyway, I'm supposed to pass the award along to some new blogs, that are NEW to me. Blogs I have recently discovered during my never ending blog clicking. Here is that list of new blogs to me that I think are pretty neat. I certainly don't want to hog them all for myself, so I will share them with you. Here goes:

Black Olives On My Fingertips
Five Flower Mom
Frogs In My Formula
SAHMSue
and Ann Again. Ann Again and her VGNO has spruced up my Friday evenings!! I get to be the life of the party again, just like in the old days! Thanks Ann!

If you're on this list, grab your award, link to who gave you the award (muwa) and pass it along to those newly discovered fantastic blogs that you love.

Then I took my son (only 11) in for his root canal. We finally got it all taken care of today. He was such a man!! I am so proud of him! You'd never know he even had any dental work done, let alone a root canal! I remember when my silly hubby got a root canal and he was not this up to par. Son - you did so good today!!! So I award you this:

Then I had a nice rest of the day planting flowers with my daughter. And then found out there is lots of interest in my Summer Read-A-Thon. If you'd like for your kids to read this summer for pledges and earn some free books for themselves, let me know, I'll send you the info on it. Email me at kristie@usborneactivities.com or post your email in the comment section here. This is a great way for home schoolers to build up some great curriculum for the upcoming school year too.

Then Kris Allen made it through to the final three on American Idol. I just love him. Love his style, his talent, and he actually looks a lot like my silly hubby, so I think I'm a bit partial. Ok, he looks a lot like my silly hubby did back when he was Kris's age. Although hubby has aged well. Much better than I have. And my silly hubby sings to me with those same dreamy eyes!!


Then last but not least!!! I won the exact thing that I wanted to win on The Bantering Blonde's 100th post blog give away!!!


Whooo Hoooo! I never win anything and if I might say so myself - I so deserve it! I'm already planning a wonderful party for Lily's Licorice's 1st Birthday, so stay tuned. It's not til August, but I like to plan ahead.

Hope you all had a glorious day too!!
