If Kanye jumps up here, I'll karate chop him!
First off...
Thank you to Mimi (AKA Living in France). She gave me the Creative Blogger award! And I award her the Good Blog award!
Here are the rules...
I do have to tell you 7 things you don't already know about me and nominate 7 other blogs. Since the other awards ask you to say some personal things about yourself, I'm combining them and sticking 10 things here.
1) I took Latin for 2 years in high school and only remember the phrase Magna Sed, because it mean "Big Butt" in the wrong context... I used it a lot on my sisters.
2) I'm a 2nd degree black belt in Taekwondo.
3) My cell phone ring tone is Kylie Minogue's Lucky Lucky Lucky song. (as in... I'm so lucky to get a cell call!)
4) I have a mole on the back of my head and would look pretty stupid bald.
5) I hoard all my kids school pictures and don't give them out... to anyone...
6) I have a dead Venus Fly Trap reciding on a shelf behind me.
7) I have a pickle Christmas tree ornament.
8) I changed 3 light fixtures all by myself and didn't electrocuted once this weekend!
9) I race one of my best friends getting all our Christmas presents purchased each year. I'm terrible because she's just gotten done and I haven't started yet...
10) I raised a hog once and spread some of it's manure on a plant to help it grow. (true story... my mom almost killed me or I wouldn't be here today typing this...)
Whew! That was hard! Now on to the awards! The Kreativ Blogger award goes to... drum roll please....

Thanks for the shout-out! You're very kind!
Congrats on all of your awards!
If Kanye jumps up on the stage I'll kick him in the nads. He's a pig.
I love the one about school photos, I do that with ALL my kids pictures. Pretty bad, I know.
You should put this on the Spin, the first one is a Meme. Jen would accept it.
I've seen the pickle ornament before, which nationality does that for tradition?
Great job on all your awards!!
Congratulations McVal on the award! I'm glad your mam didn't kill you after the hog fertilising incident! It reminded me of when I helped my grandmother pick all of her tomatoes......and they were all green. I was only 3!
Wow! Congrats on all your awards! I guess you are pretty popular, even though you don't have many friends on Facebook! ;)
Thank you for including me among those wonderful award recipients...and guilty on hoarding the school pics, too.
I recently went through the box and thought, darn, I could have given some of these out -- not!!!
Congrats, Val! You are so sweet and funny ~ I adore reading your blog! Thank you for including little ol' me among these fabulous blogs. Can't wait to check them all out. I'm sooo not very good at this.. but I'll do my best. I like how you combined things a bit. Great idea :) Thank you again... I am truly honored!! -Tammy

"If Kanye jumps up here, I'll karate chop him!"
I had to bust out laughing!
Hmmm...this is strange. I left you a comment earlier. I don't know what happened.
Thanks so much for the award! I love reading your blog too.
Congrats on all of your awards. That's amazing to receive so many. You have a great blog; so you deserve it. And thank you so much for awarding me the Kreaitv BLogger Award. I feel very honored. I will try to post it in a couple of days. We are having birthdays around here. Today is now my husband's birthday.
I know what you mean about Facebook. Our 20 and 16 year olds are on there. The world is so different from when we were growing up.
Well look at you! Congrats on all your awards and thank you so much for including me! :0)
the Kanye part made me laugh out loud!
Wow, three awards and so close together. Well, if you ever wondered if you were special or not; wonder no more. You are ! Thank you so much for the award. I will post about this soon. Thanks !!!
Oh wow, thanks so much! And congrats on all your awards :) Sorry I haven't gotten a chance to stop by again until now - things have been just crazy lately and I'm just now getting caught up on checking my messages! I really appreciate the award!!!!
Congrats on your awards! Well deserved.
