Randoms and Bloggy Business

ok so i THOUGHT my cold was gone. It wasn't. I am actually still feeling a little yuck. J has it too and we are determined to kick it's butt and be 100% well by the time school starts on Wednesday. The last couple of days have been ALL about R-E-S-T! I am so glad nobody ever 'pops in' around here they would have found us in our pajamas lazing about!

My Google Reader was at 367. CraZy! I got it down to 35. I am still making my way around to y'all. i am mostly reading via my reader and trying to pop in and at least leave on comment...i need to spread the L O V E as well as soak up your bloggy goodness! OH how i have missed reading your blogs. I am determined to get fully caught up by tomorrow evening...we will see!

J got Good Mail from her friend Sade, SuperCoolMom's daughter. She was soooo excited and tucked all her little treasures away before i could get any pictures, but trust me it was all fabulous and J was thrilled...especially about the earrings Sade MADE for her...awesome!

Miss Sniz had a contest not long ago and i WON!! she sent me the CUTEST handmade cards. Aren't they the CUTEST?!? Thanks Sniz....so cool!


I still have lots to blog about i am seriously behind, but my brain is in a fog and i am feeling lots of blog guilt. I know i have been honored by a few awards and i feel horrible for not giving them a proper display here on my blog. I adore blog bling. I am thankful. I know i am forgetting someone so PLEASE remind me if you gave me an award recently (gosh i hate asking that, i truly am grateful).

Jen (who has a private blog) gave me this little bit of goodness! Thanks Jen, i truly value your bloggy friendship too! i am passing this one on to SuperCoolMom, Miss Sniz, Sheri and Three Weddings. Y'all have been great friends to me!RDH Mom made this little magical award and passed it on to me, along with some VERY kind words. Thanks Allison, i think you are a great mom too! i am passing this one on to the Peapod Squad Stuff, Random Thoughts ,Leeann, Three-Girl Circus, Who Me? and Janna's Life.... Pass on the magic ladies! Kelly at Who Me? gave me this little award. I HEART you too girlie! This one goes out to CrazyMamaof6, My Chaos My Bliss, and Forgetfulone . now i need to pass on one of my own awards...this Bloggy Goodness Award goes out to my sister Meg who has finally been blogging again, but is ALSO getting behind, so i want to encourage her with a little blog bling. Adrian's Crazy Life who is a new reader of mine and whose blog i also enjoy, Dana at Just Talk , and Queen of the Mayhem. OK so i think that is all for bloggy business. I hope your summer is winding down nicely that y'all are excited about back to school time and that everyone is happy and healthy in your families!

OH did y'all watch the opening ceremonies for the Olympics? WOW!!! Our little family say in utter amazement at the complete creativity, time, energy and EXPEN$E that went into all of that...awesome! I love the Olympics...do you watch as a family? What events do you try not to miss?

sorry you are not feeling better! Hope you are soon.

Ugh! School starting- ugh!

OH, blushing!! Thanks for the bloggy bling! I will be sure to get that posted soon!

SuperCoolMom said...

Hey Girlfriend! Hope you all are back to normal by the time school rolls around! Thanks so much for the sweet shout out and fun award! Love you too!

(Your new Bloggy Goodness award is DARLING too!)

Queen of the Mayhem said...

Thanks for the blog love! I just LOVE me some bling! :)

Kelly said...

Sorry to hear you aren't feeling well. That is never fun.

Thanks for the bling!

forgetfulone said...

Where's all the pix? Just kidding! Who wants to pose for photos when they're not feeling well, much less take them. But I do love the picture of the CUTEST EVER cards and tags you won from Miss Sniz! Wow! And congrats to J for her good mail, too. So much fun.

I can't believe school starts so soon! I have one week left, and the kids have two. You only have four days? Ugh! Where did the summer go?

Thanks for the award! You're a sweetie!

Debbie Yost said...

Thank you so much for the award. You are so sweet. I'm sorry you are not feeling well still. You may want to see the doctor if it goes on much longer.

We did watch the opening ceremonies inbetween channel surfing by hubby. He drives me nuts with that. He loves sports and the Olympics will be on most of the day around here for the next 2 weeks. I like aquatics and track and field but my favorite is gymnastics, especially womens.

sheri said...

Oh man, I'm sorry you're both not feeling well! Hopefully the rest will pay off and you'll both be good as new this week.

Thanks for the bloggy love! You're an awesome friend, too!

We LOVE the Olympics. It's been really fun talking to Kyle about the whole thing. He actually just came in my room and asked if the Olympics were still on or if they were over, lol. I love pretty much all of it. (ok, except for the screaming in fencing and the constant hugging in volleyball...seriously, what's w/that?) We just have a lot of fun cheering on the American athletes.

Leeann said...

Holy wow. 367? That would take some dedication! Hope you feel better soon!

Adrian said...

Thanks for the bling! I appreciate the award and all the nice comments you've left for me.

Andrea said...

I have 3 words for you: MARK AS READ!! Seriously, girl -- you are too amazing to read all of those HUNDREDS of posts!!

But really -- try and drop the guilt. I know I did (finally) and it feels GREAT. Blogging shouldn't become a heavy obligation -- it should be FUN!!

Everybody understands that life gets busy, people get sick, etc. and that you will read/comment when you can. WE KNOW YOU STILL LOVE US!! :)

Dana said...

i'm feeling a little yuck myself... i hate that!

Cecily R said...

Awwwwwww!! Thank you so much!! I'm super behind too and I'm not sick. Just really REALLY behind.

Sniz said...

Girl, thanks for the LOVE! That teacup award is to die for! I REALLY need to update my side bar. I can't wait to add that little gem. Thank you, thank you! And you are awesome to post a picture of those cards! Have you sent any of them yet? I make several for my sister every year at Christmas, and she says they are too cute to send out. But I keep telling her I can make more and she's getting over it! Anyway, today's the first day of school. You're the only blog I'm reading and commenting on before school today. You're such a sweetie!

Love ya! Sniz
