definitely, more to come!

Thanks to Collapsing World for the cool Kreativ Blogger logo!
Thank you “just judee“ for nominating us for the Kreativ Blogger Award!
Being that it’s my first award, since winning a blue ribbon in 6th grade for hurdles, I am truly honored!
Judee is one of those dear souls that loves synchronicity. Especially the part when it just pops in and surprises you with something silly and completely wonderful! Just like this!
In addition, you can tell she’s a really sweet person!
FYI … This award was established in 2008 by a Norwegian woman named Hulda Husfrue, to congratulate and motivate fellow bloggers on their work. Thank you, Hulda:)
Here is a link back to Judee’s post where she was given the award: Kreative - Me?
These are the rules:
Then there are those 7 things about me …
1) Born and raised in Minneapolis,Minnesota and have lived here my entire life.
2) My obsession with photography, since getting my iPhone, has become a concern.
3) No offense … the more I know people the more I love my dogs.
4) My greatest achievement has to be my amazing children who have gone on to bless me with 5 grandsons.
5) I did well in school but you wouldn’t know it by my fascination with the comma.
6) When I’m not gluing stuff to other stuff … or playing with my kids, I’m on the road, travelling our great country, producing corporate events with my best friend and true soul mate. I always end up backstage and I was once groped by Tony Orlando but not Dawn.
Sidebar: Even though it was inappropriate, he smelled really good!
7) I don’t mind what happens, because I’m always hoping for the best!
and my nominations are …

Again, thank you Judee, I really appreciate you spreading the love and making me read the directions.
Hope I got it right.
Cheers!
I’ve been blogging since 2008 and I’m not sure why.
Then I read …
“The Internet has no eraser.” – Liz Strauss
… and that only made it worse.
It’s out there and I can’t take it back.
To blog or not to blog, that is the question … and is that even possible?
Which sent me into a tail spin, 15 tabs open, to find the inspiration to carry on.
Stopped when I got to the 10 Reasons Why Bloggers Hate Blogging
You’re only as good as your last post … good to whom I’m not sure … but I did sell something today … bonus!

Jake inspecting the world.
Love being snowed in.
It turns the volume down.
But then there’s the filthy car, wrecked shoes and the salt dust (on the car) that rubs off on your coat.
If you walk like a penguin, you won’t fall.
That’s all I’ve got.
Have a great day.

One of my biggest pet peeves … people who don’t pick up after their dogs. No pun intended.
While I was searching for ways to spread the word, I ran across this … guess I needed a good laugh after avoiding piles all morning.

Really not an acronym fan but I couldn’t think of a title … must need another cup of coffee.
