Holy Crap, I Got an Award!!!!

Yeehaw!!!  I got my very first blog award thanks to the wonderful Roe over at My Upside Down Life.  I am truly stunned by this and so happy to know I am loved.

It is also nice to be known as "Kreativ" rather than a sarcastic bitch.  So there are some rules I must follow in order to accept this award and as those who know me I always follow the rules (ok just pretend I do, thanks).

Kreativ Blogger Award Rules:

1. Link back to the one who gave you this award.
2. Share 10 random facts about yourself.
3. Pass the award on to 6 other people.
4. Follow the persons blog who sent you it.



Ten Random Facts About Me


1.  I have had the same best friend for almost 25 years.  She is my rock and I don't know what I would do without her.  She keeps me sane (most of the time) and is honestly one of the best people I know as well as a fantastic mom and wife.

2. I have a cousin and a sister in law that I consider true sisters.  They are the only people who can keep me from killing some of my family members.  (Jenn I think you can name a few of those and Helen, shall we just say "no balls")

3. I don't drink alcohol.  I know, I have two kids and two crappy jobs and I don;t touch a drop.  I am not against it or anything.  Trust me when I say I have had quite a few drunken nights in my past.  When my husband quite drinking I decided to abstain as well to support him.  See, I am a good wife.

4. I like George W. Bush.  Ok people, don't judge.  I like him, always did probably always will.

5. I am seriously into genealogy.  I have researched my family tree for years.  I love doing it and have met several long lost cousins doing it, one of whom I met the last time I went to Ireland.   I also have two family members that came over on the Mayflower, Miles Standish and Stephen Hopkins (when you live in Massachusetts that is a big deal).  Oh and I am distant cousins with Sarah Palin.  Again, don't judge, you can't choose your family.

6. I think that Spartacus is the best show on television.  I mean come on, have you watched it?  It is like Roman porn.  

7. I love reading.  I could give up tv altogether (ok maybe not Spartacus) if I could always find a book I like.  I just finished the Hunger Games Trilogy so I am desperately searching for a new series to read.  Suggestions please people.  I have already read the Twilight series about 10 times and don't want to read it again if I can't find anything else.

8. My husband is off the boat Irish.  And to answer the questions that everybody asks when they hear that, yes, he does have a brogue, and yes, it is kinda sexy.

9. I have a bachelor's degree.  I know I constantly bitch about waitressing and being a lunch lady but believe it or not I am actually I college graduate.  Umass Amherst Class of 1997 to be exact.  I used to have a real job, then I had kids.  I refused to send my kids to daycare so I waitressed at night.  That way the kids were either with me or my husband.  I only went to lunch lady land when my youngest started kindergarten so that I wouldn't sit around the house all day.  I do dream of the day when they are old enough to be self sufficient so I can have nights and weekends off again, but for now it is what it is.


10. Both my boys are named for special people.  I am so sick of people asking if I named my oldest son after Liam Neeson.  Seriously people, what kind of person do you think I am (although I do love Liam Neeson).  My oldest is named after somebody very dear to my husband back in Ireland who passed away a few years before we had kids.  My youngest is named for my awesome grandfather who I miss more than I ever imagined it could.

  3. First, congratulations!

    Second, I forgive you or George W. and Sarah Palin..

    Third, I too dig genealogy, to a degree. My mom is the real pro and growing up I kinda' got burnt out on the whole roots thing but I too - on my mom's side - have family that came over on the Mayflower. William Brewster, the 4th signer of the Mayflower Pact. Impressive I know.. It's been the big joke in our family that my mom's family came over on the Mayflower and my dad's family - Sicilian/Italin - was swimming behind it. Ha! Sooo, our families were ship mates.. Small world, huh???

    Forth, congratulations again and congratulations to your nominees. I will def. be checking out their blogs!

    1. Thanks Mimi!! I was actually going to pass it along to you as well but I saw that Roe got it from you so I didn't know how that worked.

      And we both are Mayflower people! Yes, we are awesome. It's a good thing your Mayflower person isn't Stephen Hopkins because then you would be related to Sarah Palin too.
