mama got a pick-me-up

Big o’ honkin’ hugs to Alicia over at Murry Mayhem! I’ve never met this fellow blog mama, but she just gifted me with the “Your Blog Is Fabulous” award. This unexpected mid-day treat has totally boosted my spirits — a lift I was in desperate need of after a particularly trying “mama drama” morning (click here for backstory).

Thank you, thank you, thank you Alicia! My mellow was totally marshed, but now it’s back to full and fluffy! ;)

Now, on to keeping the good kharma train on the right track …

There are rules to receiving this award, and here they are:
1. You have to pass it on to 5 other fabulous blogs in a post.
2. You have to list 5 of your fabulous addictions in the post.
3. You must copy and paste the rules and the instructions below in the post.

Instructions:
1. On your post of receiving this award, make sure you include the person that gave you the award and link it back to them.
2. When you post your five winners, make sure you link them as well.
3. To add the award to your post, simply right-click, save image, then "add image" in your post as a picture so your winners can save it.
4. To add it to your sidebar, add the "picture" gadget.
5. Also, don't forget to let your winners know they won an award from you by emailing them or leaving a comment on their blog.

Always one to follow the rules, here are my addictions and a list of blogs that rock!

My Five Fabulous Addictions:
1. Well, it goes without saying, but I gotta’ say it anyway: My Boys—the hubs and Cooper freakin’ rock my world!
2. Target (happy or sad, good day or bad, Target keeps sane — that’s totally normal, right?)
3. One Tree Hill—I know, I know, soooo lame (especially since I’m on the very sharp edge of 30-ack!), but I love this damn show
4. Haribo gummy bears — chowing down on a handful as I type this!
5. words — writing them, reading them, decorating with them — I just freakin’ luuuuuve me some words ;)

I pass this award on to my 5 Fabulous Blog Buddies:
1. Courtney at That’s What She Said
2. Devon at Devon J. Imagery
3. Hayley at The Six 3
4. Angie at The Buster Bunch
5. Kathy at Parent Talk Today
