A little housekeeping

I'm taking a break from random blogworthy stories to give a few shout outs to my favorite bloggy friends and post a couple awards I received. I'm relatively new to all this and just finding my place in the blogosphere. I've gotten to know some truly amazing people through this new medium and wanted to share their blogs with the rest of y'all.

First I got this nice award from notquiteawake over at Reality Faker. I found her blog when I was first starting and I've been a fan ever since. She's also very supportive of me and my blog and comments a lot! What's not to love about her? Read this latest post and you'll be hooked:

I thought that was going to take forever, but seeing that you only have to answer with one word, it's pretty easy!

Bethany at Nobody Listens to the Girl.  You guys? She's so funny. This is a new find for me but deserving of this beautiful blogger award because she also  

Lauren (aka Salt) at Salt Says (I really love saying Salt Says, by the way). I just found her blog recently and vice versa and it's quickly became a must read! She's funny and such a nice girl, plus an amazing commenter. 

Tristachio at Tristachio: Not a Peanut. Why does she get this award? She tie-dyed her dog to win a blog contest and writes about Asian ladies feeling her up at airports. 'Nuf said.

And then I got another award from Kiera over at Imperfect Daisies!

Thank you! And with this, I have to tell 7 things about myself and pass it on to 7 bloggers. 

1. I am going to be 30 in 6 months.

2. I've been married for almost 3 years.

3. I moved from West Virginia about 2 years ago for my job down here in Florida.

4. My favorite cities to visit are Savannah; Nashville and St. Augustine, FL. 

5. I have 4 cats, 1 dog and zero children.

6. My day job is a Web editor. I have a degree in Journalism and a grad degree in Communications, but I hate reporting.

7. I'm about TO RIP BELL SOUTH A NEW ONE IF THEY DON'T FREAKING ANSWER THEIR PHONE AND FIX MY INTERNET.

There are a handful of bloggers who have been regular commenters since the beginning. I want to give them a shout out and award them this beautiful blogger award!

1. Jennifer over at Crazy Shenanigans . She's a sorority sister from back in the day and an awesome blogger. She was also one of my very first followers! A great friend and a very entertaining blogger; check her out!
2. Miranda at Tucci Times Three. Again, she's a real life friend, sorority sister and fellow transplanted Floridian who has the cutest little boy ever. She has great stories and shares her goals, financial plans and yummy recipes! check her out.
3. Mariah at Mariah Smile. Let me tell you a story about Mariah. In 2007, my Hubby and I had to rush our sweet little white cat to the Animal ER because her little back legs weren't moving. Mariah was the vet tech at the ER. We got to talking and she knows my cousin. It was the saddest situation, but I knew after talking to her that my sweet cat was in good hands! The cat never recovered and passed away shortly, but I still stayed in contact with Mariah through Facebook. I will never forget her kindness. Now she has a blog! She's new to the blogging world, but I love what she blogs. Check out her latest escapades in Snowpocalypse 2010.
4. Jackie at Happiness Is... She's an online friend and also has been a follower since the beginning of It's Blogworthy. She's sweet and clever and writes blogs that always make me smile. She's also a really awesome photographer and I always look forward to her Favorite Photo Friday.
5. Rachel at Our Life in WV.  Rachel is another sorority sister and Momma-to-be! She's one of my first followers, too, and she's been supportive of my blog since the beginning. She's a great blogger and now she's got a new little person to blog about!
6. SS at Passionately Pink. She's got a great writing  style and really sweet stories. She's also really supportive of my blog and leaves great comments. SS is one of the first blogs I started following and I'm so glad I did!
7. Steph at Le Sigh of a Fasionista. She's not only funny and a great writer, but also very stylish! I'm new to her blog and she's new to mine, but she's also a really supportive reader AND a great read! Go to her blog now!
