Empty Nest

Saturday, December 4, 2010

I took a break from the ~~kids~~ decorating and cooking and discovered that a most wonderful blogger/friend/ has given me an award! I'm so excited, appreciative and honored! Carol, at Facing 50 With Humour bestowed upon me the Special Follower Award. Following Carol's blog is one of my favorite things to do. She provides such humor on her blog and her writing is totally captivating. Please head over there if you aren't already familiar with her blog! You won't be sorry! WORD OF WARNING: Carol's blog is extremely addicting. You will want to read more and more and more...

And now, for the passing on of the award. I am supposed to only pass it on the two bloggers who are consistent in their following. Even this is a difficult task but I have passed the award to the top three commenters (is that even a word?).

Julie at The Going to be New Me

Lisa at Grandma's Briefs

Judy at Cranberry Morning

Please take a minute and check out these ladies! I will be back later tonight or tomorrow morning with our decorating antics of the day/evening!

Congratulations on your award!! ...and how nice of you to think of me when passing it along. :-) Yeah, I think that 'commenters' is now a word, just like so many others that were not in ANYone's vocabulary 15 years ago! LOL

Congrats on your award. I'm trying to "catch up" with blog friends today.

I laughed so hard while reading your sock kniting adventures! You are a trooper to hang in there!

How nice to have decorating help! Lucky you!

Congrats on your award! Going to check out Carol's blog and I haven't visited Julie and Lisa for a while. Thanks for the reminders. btw, I relate to the kids coming home and bringing friends-that was a highlight for us, too, when our kids were in college. blessings on your day.

Thank you so much for taking the time to comment! It makes me feel connected to everyone even though we may live far apart! Have a wonderful day!

Welcome!

Being a transplant to the low-country of SC for 31 years is still not long enough to be called a ‘benyeh.’ If I stay until I’m dead I’ll probably go a ‘comeyeh’ since I am, originally, ‘from off’ (which is the upstate but, rules you know). By day I take care of my sweet little granddaughter, Baby M and do all those things I did when I was a SAHM raising four daughters which has translated to, ‘by day, I am exhausted.’ By night I blog, blog, blog, and blog some more or I sleep, depending on my level of exhaustion (do they still make Geritol?). I have a very unhealthy addiction to sweets (nearly any kind will do) and all comfort foods not covered under the ‘sweets’ category. I’m known for speaking my mind so, if you don’t want to know, don’t ask me. I love to find the humor in my empty nest life. I live life hard and smack into that brick wall almost daily because I’ve always had to learn the hard way. Why change now? I’m so glad you’ve come to laugh with me as I do this middle age, empty nest thing like a BOSS!
