March marks my seventh month in the blogosphere, which I suppose means I’m still relatively new at this. When I started posting, I not only wondered what in the hell I was going to talk about daily (like I ever shut up) I also wondered who in the world would be interested enough (aside from my mother and the required family member readership) to come hang and take a peek into my life.
So it always makes me strut a little more when I’m passed love (and I never say no to warm fuzzies) from fellow bloggers. This time, it comes in the form of the Versatile Blogger Award, which I accept with arms wide open (again, I’m a love hog). Sweet Australian Gold Coast blogger, Sechys Diary nominated me along with my Irish gal pal Nicola from Nail Art for Funn – two blogs I visit daily. So make them a must stop for yourself. You’ll be oh so happy you did.
In accepting, I must share seven random facts about myself. Sit back, relax and grab a cocktail (or three)…
#1. I have a really fun family that I love hanging around.
#2. I often make an asshole out of myself on accident. Labeling them as blonde moments makes me feel better.
#3. Rarely do I drink ’til I puke. But when I was younger and didn’t know any better, thank god someone was there to capture the Kodak moment.
#4. I’ve been crazy about cats my entire life.
#5. Richie Sambora (yeah, the one from Bon Jovi) once put a guitar pick he used during a show into my hand. I said into my hand! He didn’t throw it into the crowd and I happened to catch it, he walked over and handed it to me. This was in the Heather Locklear vs. Denise Richards days. I was pretty sure I hated Richie for cheating on his gorgeous wife, Heather (I mean if she gets cheated on, where’s that leave the rest of us gals?) and knew I hated him for dating his ex-wife’s friend during the divorce. Then Richie’s hand touched mine and well….
I fell so much in love with the stupid pick, I had it made into a necklace. It’s my personal heirloom to pass down to my cat children. Teddy refuses to wear it around his neck because he thinks it’s too “heavy.” CATS.
#6. I have a trashy habit (does this surprise anyone? Anyone?!) of cutting down bags of chips as I stuff them into my mouth. This not only alleviates your wrist from getting greasy, this tactic is much more time efficient when trying to inhale the crumbs at the bottom of the bag. Trust me.
#7. I couldn’t love my cat Teddy more than if I’d birthed him myself. Yeah, yeah, I know. C.R.A.Z.Y.
And now for my noms – stop by and find new friends!
Peace Love & Great Country Music

OMG! I do #6 too! Makes it so much easier to get to the chips. I only want greasy hands, not greasy arms and wrists
Tracy! Great minds, Girl! We should probably get together and eat chips and dip together now that we know we have the same eating style!
LOL!!!
First off, Congrats! Second, thank YOU for the nomination. I of course love #4 &7. Number 6 with cutting the chips bags? Do it all the time and it drives my boyfriend nuts! He likes a tiny slant cut on top. How the hell can you get the damn chips out of a small hole? Though now I win this battle all the time, my scissors are not to be messed with
Ha! I love your tactic with the man – and it’s IMPOSSIBLE for to retrieve tips out of a slant hole. Men! You are so welcome for the nomination – I love reading your blog and being friends! Cheers!
Well here’s the thing…I LOVE the tiny crumb bits in the bottom so I must have full access
Thank you, I love your blog too and Teddy is just the BEST
I will accept my nomination and post it all in a few days when I have a chance to do it properly. I love being friends and thank you for sharing your lovely Teddy with me
Teddy is sending his furry love your way! Have a fabulous weekend!
AWWW
Thank you, you made my morning, please send it right back to him and have an amazing weekend as well
Great work…and cute photos!
Thanks Baz!
Yay! Congrats and happy 7 month birthday!
Thanks Mancakes – 7 seems like a fun number to be celebrating for some reason…I think it makes me feel like Marilyn Monroe in my warped, blonde brain.
Congrats on your 7th month anniversary
I love your picture when you were little with the cat
adorable!
Thanks Non – that picture must have been snapped the day I transformed into a cat woman!
lol I only had my cat when I was 11
she was the best!
I love how you make me laugh. I can’t believe someone caught you puking…
I’m so glad to add a laugh to your day – I mean if a picture of me drunk puking in the past doesn’t do it, what would?! I thank my lucky stars daily that I apparently had my own personal photographer that evening…
Hehehe…effing papparazzi, even in your early days. Must be a tough life…
Now you’re making me laugh. And yes, it is really tough trying to remain cute while barfing due to the photogs.
Besides being too heavy I suspect that Teddy’s tastes may be a tad more esoteric (how’s that for a word?!) then Bon Jovi.
He strikes me as more of a romantic. Possibly a little Bryan Ferry and Roxy Music for the Ted Man?!
Teddy feels like you are a window to his soul. I believe you’ve matched his musical interests to a t. And on top of that, he’s a snob. Very impressed by your vocabulary choice…did you think of that while running from a gator?
Congratulations CrossBones for receiving a Blog Award. Very nice post on your acceptance of it.
Lots of thanks and appreciation for passing it on to, Savor the Food as well.
Chef Randall
Chef Randall – you are so welcome! And thanks for the well wishes. Have a great weekend! Cheers!
Congratulations on your 7 months! Yes, I am your Mom but I love reading your blog everyday!
You HAVE to love reading my blog because you’re my mom. But I’m so happy that you do!
Congrats! Love #7..I love my furry baby!
xo Natasha
Thanks Natasha! Fur babies are the best, aren’t they? And I’m not sure you do awards but I spread the love your way, as your blog rocks!
Congrats on making it 7 months! You made me stop count and I am at 9 months. Time really does fly, and it is amazing how a blog takes on a life of its own!
Thanks! I guess time does really fly by when you’re having fun blogging, huh? Ever think you’d be blogging for 9 months? I hardly thought I’d last 7 days, let alone months!
Flies like a clock thrown out a window! Took 6 months to feel sort of “experienced” and I still barely know what I am doing
but pull up a keyboard and away we go!
Yay! Congrats on 7 months of blogging! Your blog is seriously one of my favorites to read. <3
That makes my day, Danette! Thanks so much! Have a fabulous weekend. Cheers!
Yay! Seven months! Congratulations! If this is just 7, think of where you’ll be in a few years. Love that pic of you as a wee lassy with your kitty cat. Those little curls! I can’t believe you’ve only been at this seven months! You know I love your blog – it’s a great laugh at the start of my day. xoxo
Thanks Lady! I never thought I’d enjoy blogging so much and meet fabulous friends such as yourself! I blame my crazy cat thing on my mom…it was her idea to have the cat in the picture and the rest, well, is history!
Happy 7th month of blogging sweetie and Congratulations on your award…very deserved
Appreciate the love Girl! Have a fabulous weekend. Cheers!
Captain here is the link to my acceptance of your nomination!! Thanks again.

Chef Randal
You are so welcome Chef Randall!
First of all, thank you for the love
! And second of all: that bag idea? Genius! Why have I not thought of it before?
Well, you have to be a tad on the trashy and lazy side to think about cutting a bag down to eliminate greasy wrists!
And you’re so welcome!!
Congratulations my dear!! Love the heirloom to be passed down
Congratulations to the beautiful people and their blogs you nominated!! All well deserved; including you
Thanks Girl! Yes, the heirloom is quite the piece, huh?!
Hope you have a fabulous week!
Congratulations and thank you for nominating me. I’ve never tried cutting down the bag. I’ll try that. I love my crumbs
You’re so welcome, my friend! The bag trick is a pretty good one, if I do say so myself.
CONGRATS ON YOUR AWARD!!!!! YOU ROCK!!!
Oh snap! Thanks – I have fun answering the posed questions, if you couldn’t tell.
You’re so sweet, thanks for thinking of me. I do the same thing with my chips bag, I hate having grease on the top of my hand.
Great minds, Girl! You’re so welcome.
