I got an award

From JulieAnn over at Kitchen Floor Creations - I am flattered. She is a creative soul like many of us.

Anyway I am supposed to list 5 things I enjoy doing -- don't worry, this has been censored. And add 5 people of my own to give this too.

1. I make things. All kinds of things. It makes me happy.

2. I like to cook - I cannot believe that I just put this on the list, but I do enjoy cooking and as I get my kitchen arranged like I want it there will be even more enjoyment of this activity. I especially enjoy trying out new recipes and finding that low fat and calorie foods do not have to be low taste foods.

3. Relax with a Margarita (or sweet tea) and music to fit my mood.

4. Support my girls. I don't love softball, but I do love watching Abby play softball.

5. I enjoy my job - weird huh - but my current job is the most fun place I have ever worked. Yes we have bad days - but the good ones far outweight the bad ones.

Now five people -

Lannae - jewelry designer - love her stuff - can't wait to see what she brings to art market in November.

MaryAnn - one of my very first cyber friends. Generous - kind - creative - witty. Love this lady.

Karen -Junking in Georgia - I really want to spend time at the mountain house with her. Look back at all her gorgeous pictures.

Vallen - the Queen herself - colorful - fun - inspiration - and she is a crafting and cooking machine.

Carrie - a voracious reader - a new mother - and in my opinion has a way cool job. Love this girl. Add to that she is creative too.

Now from my world -

Puppy needs to figure out how to keep her yarn ball a little neater when she is crocheting. When we got up this morning - she had it strung all over the room. I'll have to work on this.

My house is almost primed. Yes - he may finish is by cold weather.

ALL CAPS AS A SHOUTING CELEBRATION PHRASE ------ A TEENAGER NOTICED MY WEIGHT LOSS AT CHURCH LAST NIGHT. I was frustrated that I can't see it myself, so I needed this boost. Then I went home and tried on clothes that I had outgrown. I have some favorites that are classic cut pants and skirts that I kept because I wanted to be able to wear them again. I can tell that I will get back into them now. MOTIVATION....... Thank you Katie.

Got a phone call early this morning - seems puppy decided to play the escape and chase me game with the Man at my Address. He was not having a good day.

I hope all of you have a good day - guess what -- I have a beautiful life.
