Blog Business, Awards, Tags...

First of all, some bloggy business. I'm having problems "following back" a lot of my newer followers because under the new google profile I can't find your blog url. So please, if you follow me and I don't follow you, could you leave your blog address in the comments?

Also, if you have a button and I haven't grabbed it yet, please let me know so I can get it. I lost track! Check down at the bottom of my right column.

Intense Guy said...

That 6th of the 6th photo makes me just want to reach over and wipe your tears off.

LadyStyx said...

Oh well, so you posted twice, no biggie. It's not like you drop multiple entries per day, like some people in the blogosphere!

Congrats on the win! I just know you'll be using that soon (if you haven't been into it already!)

Cool band-aids!

Congrats on all the awards!

Cute kiddo!

Ah, I'd love to learn Vietnamese, too. It sounds so complex, though, I know I'd have a hard time learning it. But wouldn't it be cool walking about in the supermarket talking in Vietnamese?

I love that your answer was having breakfast with your dad as the "most enjoyable thing for the day." It makes me miss my weekly Starbucks with my mom, wish she lived closer to me!

I used to collect angels too & when I moved, I gave most of my angels away, but chose certain angels for different friends and family. Each angel had a story behind it!

Ally said...

That was a lot of awards! =)

Have a great monday Yaya!

Ms. Sarah said...

Congrats on all your awards! Cute video, Happy B-day to your bff.

Mrs4444 said...

I totally wanted to kiss her little smoochie face! Man, you are a popular girl! I have now deleted three hilarious remarks that went like this but were way too bizarre to leave up: "Wow! If those awards were ___________, you'd be _____________." You can fill in the blanks for me...I'm sure you'll think of something sane.

the misfit said...

I'm laughing at the what's for dinner answer...yeah, it's Doritos and brownie mix with water tonight...

JulieChats said...

OK, now I've got to run back to the store...I'm out of Lime Tostitos, but I do have an open bottle of red wine on the counter. I've gotta try that!

Congrats on all the cool awards! Have a great week! :)

GypsyFox said...
