So, I joined Mama Kat's writing workshop again this week. It was almost a challenge because they all seemed kind of hard....but I put my big girl's on (NO, not the granny panties, it is a figure of speech) and snuggled in to think. After all that hard work, I read it again and boy was it MEAN! And it made me grumpy. And sad that I could be so angry. So, I decided to cheer myself up with FINALLY catching up on awards! Woo hoo!
HA, this one I got from Tami at Hearts make Families back in NOVEMBER! (I DO love you Tami, I was busy, so sorry!) Anyway, I love this one, it is the lemonade stand award

Nobody here thinks you're as nice as the cartoon character in your header. Everyone is angry and mean and sad sometimes. Nothing to feel bad about...it was probably healthy to get it off your mind anyways. But I understand not wanting to post it!
Congrats on your plethora of awards!! You deserve each and every one of them :)

Thank you!!
Sorry that I just got over here to say thank you. I completely forgot. My mind has been elsewhere lately, like on planet Pluto, which they say isn't a planet anymore. Anyway, thanks for the Lemonade Award and for saying I'm "fun" later on in the post. I wish I could agree with that characterization. I'll try to post the award quicker than I posted the last one. I think it took me a month to get that one up. Oops. I'll let you know when I do. Who knows? Maybe "fun" me will turn over a new leaf tomorrow and get it posted tomorrow.
Congrats, too, on all your awards.
Congrats!!!And thanks for mine!This award is one of my favorites!
Great awards! I understand sometimes you just have to type out your feelings. But I'm not as nice as you. I usually go ahead & post mine! :)
Oh my love, you think I'm worthy of two awards?! I do adore you so! Thank you!!! And get your bitch fab ass to a convention this year so we can meet, would ya? I'm going to BlogHer and Type-A!
