kimmers for life

And the award goes to...

My blogging buddy spleeness recently gave me the Superior Scribbler award... and also wrote a beautiful, glowing post about my writing that flattered me so much that I promptly printed off, framed and hung in my entryway.

Ok not really. But I was tempted. I did immediately read it out loud (in tones of Extreme Excitement) to Nick, and I'm totally going to shamelessly link to it here: Total Scrapbook Material.

  

Spleeness is a fantastic blogger. She's a really great, down-to-earth kind of person, and that totally shines through in her writing. She also officially kicks my ass at NaBloPoMo (RIP). So go check her out and see for yourself!

I'm passing the honor on to:

bex & jaci  

So go check them out too!

Ooooh, my first blogging award!

Today I got my first ever blogging award!

 

Courtney gave me the Kreativ Blogger Award! Which makes me very very happy, because whoa, that means someone reads this site, comments on it, AND enjoys my writing enough to pass an award on to me?! That is fantastic. Thanks Courtney!! According to the rules of the award, I'm supposed to tell you all about 6 things that I love (may be difficult to come up with new material after some of my recent posts!) and then pass the award on to 6 bloggers that I love. 

Kimmers loves:

1. Nick (awwwww!) Sappiness aside, Nick really is a fantastic boyfriend. He's caring and sweet and I've never known a guy who could make me laugh like he can. Good pull for sure.
2. Animals. You may have guessed this already. I love animals, and I'm very passionate about animal cruelty. I cried the other day when I saw that ASPCA ad on tv. Yeah. 
3. Movies. There are very few movies that I won't watch, and I'll watch most pretty happily. One of the few indulgences Nick and I worked into our current budget is a date night every week where we walk down the street to the movies, and I love it. It's a total escape for me after a stressful day at work.
4. NaBloPoMo! Because I thought it would be hard... and it is. It has been. But it's also been great. It's making me a better blogger, only 12 days in. It's forcing me to be more disciplined about making the time to write. It's making me take a moment here and there throughout the day to think about what I might write about later. I'm loving it so much I've decided to keep it up and try to post every day in December too. So glad I did this.
5. Pumas. I freaking love them. I currently have 3 pairs and my mom is already talking about buying me some for Christmas. I washed my first pair in the washing machine 4 times before I finally caved and tossed them out... and I still miss them.
6. Milk Duds. Damn I talk about candy a lot lately. What's that about?

Now I'm passing this award on to: 

Ravings of a Mad Housewife 

Confessions of a Jersey Girl 

Haute.Pocket    

I Need a Martini Now!

It's a Bloggy Blog World 

Mama's Losin' It

Spleeness

Thanks again for the award Courtney! I already showed it to Nick, who I think didn't quite understand the concept, but was impressed nonetheless. :)
