I'm like famous!

Guess what?!?  I met Greg Giraldo!!!!!  I'm like famous, yall!  See:

 hehe...he even signed a DVD for me.  and I love my hubby for buying it for me and putting my name first, lol!  ...man, I need a tan...

I'm also famous because I got my first awards this weekend!  You love, me really do!  I'm so excited...oh yeah and humbled and all that other jazz you're supposed to say...blah, blah, screw it...I was so giddy I told my husband who thinks I'm crazy for blogging so much! 

*I was going to list why I love each blog and link up a few posts, but dude that takes a looooong time.  So, just click on the little names and go read each blog, and you can decide why you love them and find some favorite posts!*

 

(The) Ladybug Lounge gave me the "Your Blog is soooooo Kewl!" award.  Thank you, thank you, thank you.  Go check out her blog.  She talks about books we all are reading, fun quotes, and a relaxing aloha Friday.  Visit her post from last Follow Friday to learn more!

 

 

These next two awards are from Amy at Keeping Up with the Schultz family.  Thank you, thank you, thank you!  She has an adorable daughter!  She also hosts a super fun Family Friday Meme that I swear one day I am going to participate in.  And you should too!

 

Rules:
List 10 random things about myself
Pass it along to 10 other bloggers.

1. I can't spell worth crap...but if you've read my blog, then you probably already knew that.
2. I play piano.
3. I'm so anal about music (or my keyboard?) that I taught my daughter to play our keyboard with her fingers, not bang on it.  When her two-year friend came to play yesterday, and banged on our piano, I taught her to play with her fingers too.  There is no banging on our keyboard.
4. I play handbells, and I can read music (which is a rariety in most choirs)
5. I have an injury from ringing handbells...tendonitis in my wrist
6. I play trumpet, and no I don't have a huge ego
7. I'm a serial over-exaggerator.  It counts if you put 'like' in front of it...right?
8. I think I'm funnier than I really am.
9. I love corny jokes
    --Two muffins are in an oven.  One muffin turns the other and says, "It sure is hot in here."  The other muffin gasps and says "A talking muffin!"
10. I'd rather go barefoot than wear shoes.
