All for me??!!

So, my dear good blogger friend Toni at A Daily Dose of Toni has so graciously blessed me with not 1, not 2, but 4..yes 4 awards!! How awesome is that?!? I'm like a kid at Christmas whenever i get 1 award, so imagine my giddyness when i learned she was giving me 4!! Yay, i have fans!! People like me....Woo-Hoo...You have no idea what this does for my ego.

The first award is the Superior Scribbler Award

Next awards is the Sparky Blogger Award...i'm glad someone finds me inspiring..hehe.

This one i have to say is my favorite, The Rock Star Award. Now there's proof that i'm not the only one who thinks I rock!

And last but not least is the Kreativ Blogger Award.



Thank you again Toni, and if you haven't checked out her blog already i seriously suggest you go now. You won't regret it! I'm gonna steal her idea and instead of sending out these awards to bloggers individually, i'm gonna just pick 7 of my favorite blogs and give them all 4!!

So here are the 7 bloggers i'm giving All of these awards too:

1. Amanda (aka Sissy) at Mama's Other Side, because she honestly says exactly how i feel. I think she may be long-lost sister.
2. Outnumbered 2 to 1 simply because she wrote a very similar post to mine about Christmas music
3. Bridgette at The Not So-Blog Blog for all the great giveaways!!
4. Just the Girl at Just the Girl with something to say, just because she has a great blog to read!!
5. Lynette at KooKoo For Cocoa Puffs because she was able to control herself when someone made an extremely rude comment to her...i would have slapped him!! She deserves all 4 awards for that!!
6. Heather at My Quest for Sanity for sharing a very personal, heart-felt story with us.
7. Jessica over at Nothing But Purple because well...who doesn't like purple??

Now, if you've never checked out these blogs head on over there and check them out. They are some GREAT reads!!

Whats between Halloween and Christmas???

There i was, just this morning driving in my car, running errands, listening to the radio when i flipped the station. I am a big flipper. I can't help it. Too much of the same music drives me crazy. So i start flipping through my favorite stations. Nothing. So i hit scan.

And suddenly....I stop!

What was this??

It can't be!

Say it isn't so!

What i heard on the radio made me want to scream out in horror!!

Christmas music!!!!!!

Yes, christmas music....the first week of November. What is going on here?! Isn't there another holiday between halloween and christmas?? Now i thought it was crazy when i was at the mall on halloween and saw the christmas decorations up already but c'mon...this is really pushing it. I'm all for cheery winter wonderlands and jingle bells and shit but not yet! I mean its been 60 degrees out here!! (highly unusual for New England this time of year).

Even though i finished my Christmas shopping already, because i like to get it done and over with so i can enjoy the Christmas season, I'm just not ready for the music yet. Don't get me wrong, i love the holiday season....but it doesn't need to be dragged out this long. Can't we just keep it short and sweet?! I dunno, maybe its me...but does anybody else feel this way?

Maybe people should start creating Thanksgiving carols. I could deal with that. And then right after the holiday that is BEFORE Christmas (Thanksgiving) we could start on the Christmas carols. How hard is it to come up with some Thanksgiving songs, here are a few i just came up with:

"Oh holy Turkey"

"I'm getting Turkey for Thanksgiving"

"I'm dreaming of corn bread stuffing"

"Have yourself a little slice of pie"

"Here comes Pilgrims"

See, now how hard was that?? I'm sure in a week or two i'll be singing a new tune but for now....it's a little early!

Sumo Time!!

I hope everyone had a great halloween....we did!! We went trick or treating at my mom's neighborhood as we do every year but this year all the kids were done about halfway through our normal route. Of course, i wanted to keep going, so we could selfishly get more candy that I could eat. But they were bored and had had enough! I probably shouldn't complain because we didn't get the usual over-the-top obnoxious amount of candy and that'll save me from gaining about 15lbs because lets face it.....he's not gonna eat it all. So i thought i'd share pictures of his costume with you all...he picked it out because he thought it was funny...which it is.

He was a Sumo Wrestler!! This is so his type of humor too.

Didn't he make the cutest sumo wrestler EVER?! He had the stance down and everything!

Here I am with him totally in character.
