A Funny Story and Awards

Ok, I'll start this with a funny story. We just left Shortmama's house a little bit ago from her daughter Rhiannon's birthday party. Well Shortmama's 2nd cousin is staying the night with my daughter Alyssa tonight. We decided to take Alyssa and the cousin and Jayce out for a ranger ride. While on the ride the kids were having a good time being all crazy. Out of nowhere, Alyssa decides to share with all of us that she has a wedgie. We share these kinds of things ya know. So anybuttfloss, "cousin" didn't quite hear Alyssa and she said "WHAT?"! She had thought that Alyssa had asked her if she had a wedgie, and she was like "what kind of question is that?!!". That got us all cracking up. And then "cousin" decided to remember about the time that I wore underwear on the outside of my clothes for Shortmama's mom's 50th birthday party. I told her it was so I wouldn't get a wedgie! And then she said "you mean, you weren't really wearing any other underwear!". Oh man, kids are great! Here's a little pic of the underoo episode...



Ok, now on to the awards.

Have I told you lately that I love you...

Could you guys hear me singing that? If so, I'm so very sorry, cause I can't sing for shit. So anybrokeneardrums, just thanking all of you who follow my zany life and thoughts. And also a thanks to two ladies that have passed awards on to me. Oh ya, and thanks for sharing your lives with me, I'm really digging how I'm really getting to know some of you and enjoying our back and forth emailsations...that's my shortened version of email conversations.

This first award comes from....

Holy mole poop...I just went to One Loopy Life's blog, cause that's where the first award came from....and what do ya know, she's given me yet another award today! 'Scuse me while I gather myself! So it seems to be that I have three awards now.

So, the first two awards both come from One Loopy Life. Thank you! I know some don't like to check out who the awards come from, but it would be awesome if you could just check out the pics of her cutie little girl and especially the pics of her hilarious tub hair here. Gave me a really good laugh, so cute! And just as a P.S...she called me Dessert Rose..very common mistake people make of my title...but I'm not a yummy dessert...I live in the hot AZ desert!

Here is the first award...

1. Copy and paste the award on your blog.
2. List who gave the award to you and use a link to her blog (or hyperlink).
3. List 10 things that make you happy.
4. Pass the award on to other bloggers and visit their blog to let them know!

10 Things that make me happy are:

1. When the kids say things that make me laugh, and when the are naive!
2. Margarita's, with Monin Agave Nectar.
3. Napping. Love me a nap.
4. Reading.
5. Quad Riding.
6. Camping.
7. The beach.
8. My friends...luv them.
9. Road trips.
10. Orange circus peanuts...yum.

Now for who I'm passing it on to...I'm only going to pick a couple, cause I swear this post is going to be hella long, and it's very time consuming!

* Frau from West Family Adventures...she's sick to day and looking for remedies, so this is my remedy for her!
*Arizona Mamma from Our Daze In The Desert...yup, she's an Arizonan like me. Maybe one day we shall meet.

Now here is the 2nd award that One Loopy Life gave me...I've actually been awaiting this one, it's so cute! So thank you!

The rules are to list 10 things you may not know about me, and to pass it on to 10.

Ok, so here's the thing, I'll list the 10 things, but it's late, I'm tired, and I don't follow rules sometimes, so again, I will pick just a couple of bloggers to pass it on to.

So here are 10 things that you may not know about me...and maybe you don't want to!

1. I can't stand bras. Uncomfortable.
2. I wear a bra cause I don't want the small mounds to look like pancakes sooner than they should.
3. Sometimes I curse like a sailor...and I thoroughly enjoy it.
4. I don't like to be told what to do.
5. I like shooting hand guns, but not shot guns and rifles.
6. I used to be a streaker, skinny dipper....having kids has cured me of this. Damn.
7. I have NEVER texted. I know, I know...you can stop looking at me like that now.
8. I'm like an old person, I go to sleep early. Well between 8 p.m. and 10:30 p.m. usually.
9. When I get tired, I get cranky.
10. I've always wanted a motorcycle.

I will pass this award on to...

*Everything But The Kitchen Sink....she's funny and a smart ass, and she likes to cuss like a sailor too, er, maybe cause she's a Navy Girl!
*Fighting Off Frumpy....I don't even think she knows I'm following her, so maybe I'm just stalking her....she talks about some funny shiz!


Ok and now for the award from 3 Boys + 1 Hubby = What's Next. Thank you!

I'm passing this award on to...

*Sitting on the Mood Swing at the Playground....She's definitely brought some sunshine to my life, cause #1 I like her blog and #2 I've won 2 giveaways that she has done...woot woot!
*NieNie....Ok, so I don't think I could technically give this award to her, cause her blog doesn't take comments that I know of....but let me tell you, just watching what this woman has gone through and she still keeps her chin up, that spreads a little sunshine in my world, cause if she can keep her chin up through all her pain, then I'll be damned if I can't get through some tough bumps in the road.

So thanks again for the awards....and sorry for the long post!
