3. Link to the person who nominated you for this award
4. Tell us 7 interesting things about yourself
5. Nominate 7 bloggers

So here are 7 interesting things about myself
1. I went to an all-girls Catholic high school and I love {almost} every minute of it
2. My high school won a radio station concert my junior year and we got a concert with Christina Aguilera and LFO in our gym!
3. My toe nails are never not painted
4. My first car was an old blue mini van
5. I worked in a school uniform store for three years and met my best friend there
6. I really wish I liked coffee, but I just hate it....and that is disappointed
7. I have achieved all the goals I had ever set for myself growing up{be a teacher, wife, mom...go to Paris...buy an Xterra}...not sure what I'm going to do now!

Here are the rules of the second award {which looks totally yummy!}

3. Tag 10 bloggers who brighten your day
4. Put a link to their blogs
5. Notify the award receivers

Here are 10 things that make me happy! {obviously my family and friends make me the happiest, so I'm going to keep this list totally superficial!}

2. Pizza
3. Crumbly sugar cookies
4. Football!
5. Reading a good book
6. A fabulous tan {terrible for me I know}
7. A great hair day

Spring Giveaway!

Image
First off I want to thank Kim over at Life As I Know I t for becoming my 100 th follower! I love her blog and just know we would hang out all the time if she didn't live across the country. I am completely humbled that 100 people actually want to read what I have to say! Blogging has opened up a whole new world of friendships to me and I would probably not have kept doing it if it was not for all of you! Okay, now it's down to the good stuff. I am *dying* for a little spring around here. We had a few days of warmth and sunshine, but for the past three days it has been raining...again....I heard they have even mobilized our National Guard in case the rivers decide to really get out of hand...you know more than the crazy flooding they've already been doing. Anyways, one of my favorite things to do to get ready for spring is to paint my nails a fun, bright color. So today I am giving away these beauties. One lucky reader will win all four of these fabulous colors! I g...

$50 CSN Giveaway!!

As you all know, I have raved about my love of CSN stores several times before.  They have a huge selection of products and are constantly adding new stores to their website.  My family definitely headed over there to do some of our Christmas shopping, and I was just perusing their selection of flat panel TV stands.      It's one thing, however, for me to tell you how great CSN is.  But it's another for you to experience it yourself.  That is why I am so excited to be sponsoring a $50 gift certificate giveaway to CSN to one of my readers!!!  It's the perfect opportunity to order yourself something you didn't receive for Christmas, or check out their fitness equipment to help with your new year's resolution! Entering is simple...just leave a comment telling me what your new year's resolution is {you can also just say you aren't making any this year if that's the case!}  The giveaway will be open until January 7th 10:00 pm est.
