Oh my goodness! I am so bad about these awards things. It totally makes my day when my name pops up in the list of awards that people are bestowing, so why am I so crummy about recognizing and handing them out? I'm going to do better! Today I'll recognize, and on Friday I'm going to pass some out. Whoot--a plan!
Christi gave me the A is for Awesome award, Mia the Awesomesauce award, Amber the Sunshine award, and Amy Jo the Prolific Blogger Award.
Wednesday I announce my 1st ever contest.
Nicole tagged me in this fun Q&A. The rules in this game are to answer 5 questions, 5 times, and then tag 5 other bloggers. So here we go:
Where were you 5 years ago?
1. Spring--We sold our first home in Kentucky in the hopes of leaving behind a lot of heart ache, stress and depression for a brighter future. (I lived there with the kids almost a year while hubby attended grad school in Tennessee.)
2. Summer--New Haven, CT, for hubby's MBA internship.
3. Fall--Tennessee, trying to start my own cake business in the mall with a certifiably crazy lady, while hubby finished grad school.
4. Still trying to dig myself out of my depression (and making progress!)
5. Waiting for something good to happen.
Where would you like to be 5 years from now?
1. Published
2. Published
3. Published
4. 15 lbs thinner
5. Actual place doesn't matter as long as my family is with me happy and healthy.
What was/is on your to-do list today?
1. Take a nap (sick kid, no sleeping last night)
2. Continue revising WIP
3. Go for a 2 mile run

What 5 snacks do you enjoy?
1. Almond Joy candy bar
2. Trail mix with raisins and M&Ms
3. Cheese--all kinds on cute crackers

What 5 things would you do if you were a billionaire?
1. Pay off all my student loans and mortgage.
2. Set aside money for my 4 kid's college funds.
3. Make a donation to my local library. (Budget cuts have affected personal friends of mine)
4. Purchase that writing beach house I've heard about.
5. Invest for a rainy day.
Amazing the changes that can happen in 5 years. Starting the cake business with a crazy lady?? Images are flashing through my mind! Trail mix with M&M's is a my favourite too. Have a great day today.

Congrats on the awards. And very cool five questions with answers. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the feedback on my Hosting A Blogfest post! I added your suggestion. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by everyone!
ReplyDeleteAlex, yes I want to be published in the worst way. :)
Dear Hubby, if I had all that money I would definitely pay off your student loans too, and our mortgage. I wonder how much Uncle Sam would claim?
Your awesome Lilah!
