A new bloggy pal of mine over at Gone Bananas was kind enough to bestow this award on me, or, as she so cleverly put it, Bloggy Bling. Her blog is lots of fun, and it doesn't hurt that she posts great photos of her cute-as-a-button daughter.
Before I pass it on, I am supposed to list 7 traits about myself. Aw, hell. I'll try 5:
-I'm artistic. I hope that doesn't sound like bragging; it's just the way my brain works.
-I'm competitive. Not in a bad way, but if you're going to do something you might as well do it right.
-I'm loyal.
-I'm fierce. Don't mess with me when it comes to my family or a cause I believe in.
-I'm optimistic. I'm good at finding that silver lining. Life's a lot less draining that way.
I'd like to pass this award on to the following blogs. Whether they make me laugh or reach for the tissues, they're always a good read:
1) SuziCate at The Water Witch's Daughter: She tells a great story. She was kind enough to give me an award a few weeks ago and I'm happy to say Right back at you!
2) Jen at Jen on the Edge: Her thoughts on motherhood and chocolate make me think we're kindred spirits.
3) Casey at Half As Good As You: For me, she is the ultimate definition of "LOL."
Whether you already know these rockin' bloggers or not, go show them some bloggy love. That's what it's all about, no?
Congratulations again! LOL
I like your five traits; we have a lot in common! :)

Aww, thanks for the bloggy bling! I think we have a lot in common with our traits. Tack on that I'm late since this post has been up for days and I'm just now making it around. Better late than never?
