For Me?...Aw, You're Too Sweet!

So, this is kind of an update and then a dual thanks!


My van is in the shop...I spent most of yesterday running around trying to get it dropped off, and then back home again...$1200 worth of repairs and it should be ready for pick up later today.  I will say, even the mechanic was impressed that I have 200K miles on my van and almost ALL original parts still on it....not too bad, is it?  I must say, I definitely got my $$'s worth out of my 2005 Dodge Grand Caravan...and she's still tickin'!


On to the true meaning of this post...  


I kind of stole an award and promised to accept it from Taiya's Blog (well, she was telling people to take it, so is that really stealing?)...then, Sam, almost a week later, gave me this award (no, I didn't steal this one...she gave it to me).


Thanks Ladies...I think both of you ROCK!!!!  

The rules for accepting this award are:

- List 10 things that make your day (check!)

- Nominate other blogs worthy of this award (check!)

1. I love waking up in the morning, getting the girls up and laying in the bed with Jr while he has a bottle...that is about the only time of the day that he is so loving.
2. I love the smell and taste of coffee in the morning (well, I like the taste as long as it has cream and sugar added)
3. I love my new N-IRL (Not In Real Life) friends.
4. I love rainy days.
5. I love the sounds of birds chirping.
6. I love Tuesdays (yes today) because a new episode of LOST is coming on.
7. I love that I have a wonderful family that I know is here for me any day I need them to be, and I enjoy being able to be there for them, too.
8. I love my job and that I can work from home.
9. I love right now!  Today!  This moment!  For in this moment, I exist!
10. I love God...for through Him all these blessings are possible in my life!
