Sugar Award and your Questions



The award rules:
  • Thank the person who gave you the Sugar Doll award.

  • Write why you were given the award.

  • Pass the award on to 5 bloggers who have made your life a little sweeter and write how they have done that.

  • Notify them of the award.
My favorite wise-cracker Leslie who has been so supportive, that she's even made me cry a couple of times. In the good way. I don't think Leslie could ever hurt someone on purpose. She's working on being the New Kneelable Wonder and has more wisdom in her pinkie than most people I know. Put together. So head over there, because it's just oozing all over the place and all you have to do is brush it with you mouse and presto! You're a better person.

Yes. She is that good. REALLY. Leslie, you have a quiz later on that paragraph. I know you skim compliments. Thank you so much.

Also, Matt @ Lots to Lose gave me this award this last night and I found it today. Sorry it took me till this evening to post it. Matt is inspiring because he is keeping up his normal life and changing it to suit ALL of his needs. Not just weightloss, or familial, or vocation. All. Also, Matt consistently hits 10,000 steps every day? It's true. I left him a proof link in his comments over the weekend. Go check it out.

So, for five bloggers to pass this award onto, I'm going to give it to some of the wonderful new blogs I met at FitBloggin'. Because I've given a lot of you awards several times and you're starting to hate me. Because you all know I like to spread the love and share new wonderful people.

So here we go:
  • Darlene Chrisholm at Confessions of a Dieter
  • She was so much fun to eat lunch with and so sweet to me. I'm kind of a dork-as you might have noticed-so it was extra nice of her!
  • Heather Hurd at SkinnySushi
    Heather comforted me and tapped me on the back when it felt like the wasabi sauce was going to RIP MY BRAINS OUT. She told me it was fast, and she was right. She was also very talkative and nice. We sat together for lunch and a couple of the sessions.
  • Shareen at Former Fat Chick
    She was gregarious and funny. Her smile is contagious, and her description of her site is fascinating. More like a video game than a web site she says.
  • Trayce W. Skogstad at Yours...TrulyTrayce
    I'll be perfectly honest. She is gorgeous. And friendly and fun. She is always on the Twitter board coming up with something fun and inviting everybody to do it. FOLLOW HER ON TWITTER!
  • Monique on Twitter as FitInMyHeart
    She made me feel like I was her best and only friend at the conference whenever I saw her. Plus, she is just a funny gal. I was laughing obnoxiously loud every time I was around her. I could go on and on. Here is her website footdr69.wordpress.com
So, thanks again to Leslie, and to these wonderful ladies for making my trip fabulous. MrsFatass, Steve, Fitarella, and MizFit, I really do love you. Really. I'll catch you next time. I promise.

As for your questions . . . I confess I'm writing this Sunday morning at the hotel in Baltimore and buying me some time to recover at home. The last thing the fam is going to want me to do when I get home is to hop on the computer. So, I'll blog about those tomorrow. Forgive me? Tell me what you think about these blogs, or how your weekend went?

  3. Thank you so much for the very kind words - I've read through them twice so am prepared for your evil pop quiz. You made me proud calling me a wisecracker! Sometimes I'll have myself cracking up, and no one else seems to get it.

    So glad you had such a positive experience at FitBloggin'. If it's always in Baltimore, I'm going to get my dead ass there next year, come hell or high water.

    Will check out the blogs of your award recipients...good reading for today. I go back to work on Friday (quake quake) so I have to get all my leisure engineering in over these 4 days!

  4. Holy goodness! Did you see that Miz talked on my blog? I'm never ever ever washing it again! Never.

    Calming my troubled heart.

    I fixed the links. So So So sorry.

    Leslie, What is the Latin root of your least favorite compliment?

    Weighting Around, It was fabulous. I am very ashamed to say I had no crab. :(

    Miz- I am not washing my blog. Also, I cannot get your fabulous arms out of my mind. I have never even seen a picture of such fabulousness. I am mixed about being home. I love mommyhood, but ...

It's Here

We got the moving truck rather unexpectedly. It's more expensive than Mr. Survival planned, so we're doing a lot of lifting, cardio, and squats. No. We're not doing the bootcamp in a trailer. We ARE moving things to the new garage, since we can't move in yet, but they're being kind enough to let us dump in a storage manner. Sorry. I'll have to beg your forgiveness and promise to update you. Eventually.

I Found True Happiness

It feels like I've become a detached voice, writing but not feeling on this blog.  I'm living a lot of things that don't fit neatly into my bloggable ownership file. Even now, I've spent an hour with this tab open to write a new post and I've done absolutely everything else possible.  For once I can't put a finger on what I'm feeling.  I don't fit into any definable box. On one hand, I'm spending an hour in therapy with Chickadee and another hour round trip three times a week. Mr. Survival is fighting off unemployment blues. We cannot shake things up and have me go to work. I'm not going to go to FitBloggin'11 . But, on the other hand, Chickadee is STANDING in the stander for minutes instead of seconds! Chickadee is grasping things momentarily for the first time in eighteen months. I'm so in love with Mr. Survival it's unbelievable. We are tighter as a family than we ever have been. I'm stressed and frustrated.  I...

Flying With Concrete

Today I wanted to write about my dreams. Full of hope and bliss and fulfillment. Yeah, I sound about as light as a bucket of cement. Ready to fly away. Hang on, while I toss out the top of the pile. Maybe that will help me find my lofty aspirations. Nope. Thing is, I'm remembering today that I'm afraid of heights. Really. Once Hubbend made me climb up three stories of scaffolding. Broke it all down for me and left me no other choice. Made me feel irreplaceable. Yes, we must remember that I am crazy friends. Leave it to me to feel important by being told to go up a towering structure of death. I did it though. And I even wired a speaker while I was up there. But I'm still afraid of heights. So. Do you wanna help me out today? For every comment that tells me something someone wants to be able to do that they can't do now I will do one minute of exercise. Really. Because of my child care situation, it will have to be tomorrow morning. So have at it. ...
