I'm so late!

Once upon a time, a long, long time ago (September 2009, actually), two bloggers took leave of their senses and  gave me two awards.

Because I am:

1. Forgetful and
2. Forgetful

I recently noticed that I hadn't mentioned it.

Don't think too bad of me - I did thank them at the time!

Oh my shame.

Please, in no way let me forgetfulness be misconstrued as unappreciation!

Firstly I was awarded the "Splash" award from the lovely Kaibee.  Thank you Kaibee!

Isn't it pretty?  She says that the rules of the award are:

-Put the logo on your blog/post.

-Nominate up to 9 blogs which allure, amuse, bewitch, impress or inspire you.

-Let them know that they have been splashed by commenting on their blog.

-Remember to link to the person from whom you received your Splash Award.

Then I was awarded this pretty little award...

... from the wonderfully talented Mesina.  She says the rules are to pass the award to 15 newly discovered blogs.

Oh my giddy aunt - I have to find and read 24 blogs?!  Sorry but a dozen will have to do!

Can I combine the two awards?  Yes I think I will!  Talk about breaking the blog award rules.

I'm a rebel.

The recipients of the two awards are:

1. Brae who is NOT a volcano.
2. HappyGal at The Snyder Five
3. Jenny at Zach's Gang
4. Sonora at Twinfinity
5. Janae at Pink Moss
6. Sarah at Kingdom Twindom (yes another twin blog. A sign, or a yearning maybe?!)
7. Jamie at Mommy's Camera
8. Katie at Sunshine and Bubblegum
9. Mama M at My Little Life
10. Kate at Kate's Life
11. Phoebe at Cents to Get Debt Free
12. RR at The Redhead Riter

Congratulations!

Fabulous dahlink!

I'm going up in the world! Yesterday The Redhead Riter gave me my first ever blog award. That only took two years! Am I really that awful? And in case you are wondering, she knows that writer has a "W" at the beginning. She's a rebel. What can I say?

Anyway, back to me.

Here is my award.

Isn't it shiny?! Thank you Red Head Riter!

As with these things (or so I gather) there are THE RULES.

THE RULES are as follow:

1. List five current obsessions
2. Pass the award onto five other blogs.

So for your information my five current obsessions are:

• My husband
• My children
• My weight loss journey
• Baking (kind of cancels the last one out, don't you think?
• Bullet Points (I like them. So what if you think it's not a proper obsession)

(has this convinced you yet?)

• (how about now?)

And I'm passing this award to...

1. Rita at Fighting Off Frumpy. Have you ever been embarrassed by your children? Read this!

2. Sarah at Ordinary Days. She's going to feed me with food from her garden. I like food. I just have to cross the Atlantic first. And she's funny.

3. Just Jingle on popularity. This is so hilarious. Do you see the irony in my giving her an award for it?

4. A thoughtful post on honesty by Mesina at her blog "And then there was me". I like to think. Sometimes.

5. And finally, JanMary because she makes lovely things in her Etsy store and I really, really love the Atlantic Blue Charm Bracelet (Mike, I'm hinting. Thought I'd point that out in case you're reading this and missed it). And she's nice too.

How come you're still here reading my drivel? Go and visit them!
