blog award!
June 30th, 2010 | 
Author: I received a lovely blog award from the beautiful
My Award!
For this award, here’s what ya do:
1. Thank whoever gave you the award.
2. Tell 7 things about yourself that readers may not know.
3. Pay it forward by nominating 10 bloggers you’ve recently discovered.
So thank you Ann James!
1. I won’t wear shorts in public, or really even at home. My legs are white and pasty and even I don’t want to look at them.
2. I can’t spell Apocalypse or Broccoli, I have to look them up every time. sometimes I get broccoli right but NEVER apocalypse, which is weird because I’m really into the zombie apocalypse.
3. I learned how to spell Restaurant from watching too many Seinfeld episodes.
4. Every Friday I make ‘special coffee’ to take to work. That just means that it’s vanilla flavored and I use a fancy creamer. I’m starting to think that the ‘special’ part should be whiskey.
5. I have never in my life had a real nightmare. What most may call a nightmare I call a fun dream.
6. I am a not a big talker, but that makes a lot of people think i’m snobby. I can sit alone in a corner at a party and be perfectly content doing so. This also makes me a very forgettable person. I blend in well and hear lots of your secrets. 
You really should look around better to see who is around when you’re spreading hot gossip. I blend in so well that sometimes the gossip has been about me.
7. my husband tried to break up with me once (before we were married) and I thought about it and then rejected his suggestion. It WAS just a suggestion, right? Oh well, that one worked out in the end.
I don’t remember exactly how it went, but i think it was a little something like this
him: I think we should break up
me: hmmm. yeah. no.
I have discovered a lot of new blogs in the past month or so, it was very hard to pick who to pass this blog award on to. But here are just a few of the great ladies I have met over the past month.
Journey to the Center of the Uterus
shoot, i hope those links are right.
OK so apparently he tried to break up with me twice. The first time went as stated above and then second time I drove to his house and told him TOO BAD.
If anyone has ever wondered why he is with me, it’s pretty obvious why. he can’t get away from me.

Alaska
The trip was really great!
Here was our home for the week.
On day one we saw icebergs. here is a lone iceberg. we were very excited to see it and all ran out to take pictures.
we had no idea THIS was around the corner. In the middle/bottom there is the glacier all of these icebergs fell from.
The Captain navigated the boat thru all these icebergs, hitting quite a few. It was just breathtaking.
We saw baby seals with their mommas on the icebergs.
And we even netted some glacier ice to use in our drinks for cocktail hour
And that concludes day one. Don’t worry, I’m stopping here and won’t subject you to a day by day recap of our trip. I will add more pictures later. It was too beautiful there to not put up a few more.
We saw so much wildlife. Whales, dolphins, bald eagles, sea lions, seals, one dear and some HUGE jellyfish.
Later I’ll put up the photos of our fresh catches. We ate like kings!
I am still trying to catch up on blogs, laundry, cleaning, etc. I am working today, but working from home so it’s a good way to ease back into going back to work after a long vacay.
So many things happened while I was gone and I came back to good news, bad news and shocking news. Still trying to process everything.
I also won my VERY FIRST BLOG AWARD and am so excited about that. So that’ll be my next post.
I’m trying to find a good chunk of time to catch up with everyone, but like i said, i’m super busy trying to get back into real life first. Thank god I have another 3 day weekend for the 4th of July this weekend.
Friday hops
Would you look at all these hops!!
Hit any of the buttons and then go link up, you’ll meet some great people that way. I mean, that’s how some of you met me right?
This is my last blog post, for at the very least, a few days. I’m leaving early tomorrow morning for vacation and have lots to do today in preparation. I’m not sure if we’ll have an internet connection at all. OMG no internetz, i might die. I am still taking my laptop because if there was an internet connection and I didn’t have a laptop I would be sad. And also because I need my laptop to help feed my TV Addiction. I’m taking my DVD’s of Supernatural and Ghost Whisperererer. And books, I won’t spend my whole vacation watching TV.
I’ve never been to Alaska, I’ve only seen it in the movies and I’m really hoping it’s just like Sitka in The Proposal. Funny thing is, I will actually be in Sitka for some of our vacay. I had never heard of Sitka Alaska until I had to buy plane tickets from Sitka to home. And then the very next day I watched The Proposal and that’s where that movie is set.
I hope everyone has a good week and if anything exciting happens to anyone, leave a comment here!

I am getting a massage today!! Good timing because my neck has been hurting and I woke up feeling not too good today. I’m just feeling blah, like I need a nap and maybe a white wine spritzer…….
I have tomorrow off work to prepare for our vacation. Our plane leaves at 6am so I won’t have time to do anything the day we leave except wake up and go. Tomorrow I have a day full of errands, laundry, cleaning, packing, and dog sitter preparing. Which is really fine, because I enjoy doing all of those things.
Today I’m ‘working from home’ I say it that way because i’ve already mentally checked out.

$$$ saving
Quick money saving tip. Yesterday the husband and I were both refilling prescriptions online and I saw that my migraine meds went up from a $30 copay to $45!!!! I only get 6 pills at a time. Needless to say those babies are expensive and are only used when I definitely need them. The headache has to actually kick me in the ass before I will take a $7.50 pill for it. So I went online to the website for that drug and found a $35 off coupon!! Win!!! Husbands prescription’s website had a $15 off coupon. I’m assuming I just got lucky that both of our high dollar even with copays prescriptions had coupons online, but it’s definitely worth it to check on your prescriptions. The coupons are one time use only but they said that you can come back and print out a new one every 30 days. Now for as long as they have coupons on line we’ll be able to save up to $50! Every little bit helps and I am not going to sneeze at saving any amount of money.
Happy Friday
So many blog hops!
As per usual I’m not a great Friday Follower, but I do catch you later. Again, the old work computer blocks half of your blogs and won’t tell me why.
Someone decided to put themselves not only on my shit list this morning but a couple of other peoples. So it’s going to be a LONG day. But it’s Friday and one week from today I will be starting my vacation, so I’ma keep looking forward to that!
