I'm a Slacker

So not only have I not posted in a week or commented in several days, but I have also failed to acknowledge some awesome awards that people have given me over the last couple of months. I know award posts are pretty boring, so I'll try to make mine (somewhat) brief!

The first award I received was from Yankee Girl, who is a blog friend and a real friend of mine. It was actually reading her blog that inspired me to start mine! If you don't know her, go over and check her out. She's hilarious, provocative, and is currently on the mission to have sexy times with her husband 700 times in one year! So go over there- you know you want to! Here's the award:
For this award, I'm supposed to list ten things that make me happy and pass the award on to ten bloggers that brighten my day. Because I'm doing 2 other awards after this, I'm going to limit this to 5 things and 3 bloggers.

Things that make me happy:
1. Disney World. Everything about Disney World. The rides, the smells, the characters, the weather, the fact that I don't even need a map because I know it so well, the fact that they say "welcome home" when you arrive at the hotels...everything.
2. Sleeping. Sometimes I get so excited to sleep that I actually dance into bed.
3. Getting followers/comments. C'mon- we all love it, really!
4. "Full House" reruns on TV. I don't know what I would do without Joey, Jesse, Danny, and the girls. I probably know every line of every episode.
5. Giant pretzels. They're so effing good.


Bloggers:
1. Dan from Vacant Mind. He has been super supportive from the get-go, always leaves me the kindest and funniest comments, and he always has something interesting to write about. I fell in love with him after reading this post and never looked back!
2. Bird Shit and Baby Caca from The Two Twins are always writing about something hideously inappropriate or absurd, and I totally dig that.
3. Erin from I'm Staying Young Forever always cracks me up. She's a party girl and she's totally doing everything she can to delay the aging process...it usually involves booze...

The next award I got was from JenJen at The Battle Book. Jen's blog is always a fun read. She really, truly, is a daring writer and regularly cracks me up. Stop over and say hello! Lori from Tiny Little Reveries also gave me this beautiful award!! I'll talk about her in a sec. Here it is:For this award, I'm supposed to nominate 12 fabulous bloggers but, once again, for the sake of time and space, I'll do 3 bloggers:


1. Cathy from Antsy Pants was one of my first followers, and I'm so grateful to have her comments and support. She's an awesome blogger and her blog has features like "Booze Day Tuesday" and "Flashback Friday." Fun stuff!
2. Helen from Feeding Five For Fifty is a lovely Scotswoman who is always cooking up the most delicious-looking food. Her blog makes me drool every single time I read it. She leaves awesome comments, too!
3. Karls from Karlosophies is an Aussie with an attitude. She makes me laugh all the time and because she's a voice-over artist, she sometimes post blogs in audio form. Way cool.

Lori from Tiny Little Reveries was generous enough to give me the Sunshine award and this next award! What a gal! She writes about her hilarious husband, teenage kids, American Idol, and so much more. There's nothing not to love about her blog. Go visit her! Here's my award:For this award, I'm supposed to list ten interesting things about myself and pass the award onto 7 bloggers. I'll do 5 things and 3 bloggers.

Interesting things:
1. I was the vice captain of my college's rifle club. So don't mess with me.
2. I have ridden the tallest and fastest roller coaster in the world. It was 420 feet high and 120 mph. (This was a few years ago, so I think ther's a bigger one now)
3. I regularly have conversations with the navigation system in my car. His name is Kenneth.
4. If I had one celebrity friend, it would be Rob Dyrdek.
5. I can eat insanely large amounts of food for my size. I out-eat my 220-lb boyfriend almost every time.

Bloggers:
1. Intense Guy from Intense Guy (duh!) has been a wonderful supporter of my blog since day one. He writes about history, places, and interesting facts. I always walk away from his blog having learned something.
2. StarGazer from Live. Laugh. Dream. is such a sweet, honest, normal girl. Her blog is incredibly refreshing. No gimmicks, no hype. Just fun, interesting stories about her life. She deserves way more followers than she has.
3. Millions of Atoms Man from Millions of Atoms is someone I just started following. I either leave his blog laughing hysterically or feeling confused. I'm happy either way. He cracks me up.

So there you go, folks! Blog awards done! Please, please, please, go check out all these awesome bloggers- they really deserve a visit!

I promise not to be such a slacker in the future- if I haven't visited your blogs in a few days, don't worry- I'll be there soon! Now I'm off to celebrate my one year anniversary with the boyfriend! Woo!
