Bloggy Blingfest

I am thrilled and tres tardy once again in posting two awards I recently received! The first award is Ta-da-





This award is from dear JAM whose posts always bring a smile to my face and a growl to my tummy with her warmth, humor, and wonderful recipes.

In order to keep this crown, I have to list 7 Awe-Summm things about myself.
1. I actually understand and can explain health insurance policies and benefits.
2. I don't take stuff so personally anymore. I like to laugh at myself.
3. I am facile at entertaining children. I have quite the repertoire of Childrens Songs, "Do You Ears Hang Low?", "Peanut, Peanut Butter", "Up in the Air Junior Birdmen", "The Barney Song", etc. Handy at parties and checkout lines.
4. I am detail oriented without being anal retentive.
5. I can read fast and remember what I read. (Except maybe Umberto Eco, I can read about fifteen words in fifteen minutes, his work makes me crosseyed and comatose.)
6. I can get ready really quickly, hair, makeup, dressed out the door in under thirty minutes. Needless to say, I am pretty low maintenance.
7. I am good with pets and plants. If you ask me to housesit, everybody will be well cared for.

(This award should come with a warning label to let you know how difficult it is to come up with 7 awesome things about yourself.)

My next piece of bloggy bling comes compliments of the insightful and funny Modern Mom-



We got the rules right here:
1) Accept the award, post it on your blog together with the name of the person who has granted the award, and their blog link.
2) Pass the award to 10 other blogs that you’ve newly discovered. Remember to contact the bloggers to let them know they have been chosen for this award.

This is easy, nothing to divulge!! Yippee!! I would like to pass on both awards to these new bloggy friends who are Just Loverly!
