My blogging buddy Joe over at The Cranky Old Man gave my blog an award…the SUNSHINE award…he says because I “truly fit the name of this award” — and so I’m thinking me? a sunshiny-type of person? Eh, I don’t know about that…but hey, who am I to argue with a cranky old man? I’ve been taught to respect my elders, so if Cranky says I’m a little piece of sunshine, then I must be!
Thanks, Joe! Err – I mean Cranky.
Seriously, the guy isn’t so much cranky as he is funny. The blog should be called Funny Old Man. But he sees himself as cranky so who am I to argue? It’s the whole respecting my elders thing again.
Okay, so now I’m supposed to answer a few questions. This is part of the award and I just can’t get out of it. So here goes:
FAVORITE COLOR: Blue.
FAVORITE ANIMAL: I love cats. I can’t have cats due to my husband being allergic. But I’ve always had cats growing up, and I really do miss having one. Dogs are great, too, just more work. And I like easy.
FAVORITE NUMBER: 14– my birthday day.

FAVORITE NUMBER: 14– my birthday day.
FAVORITE DRINK: If we are talking sodas, I like Sprite. If we are talking alcohol, I like red wines. If we are talking every day consumption, I love water but HATE Arrowhead bottled water. Tastes like pool water to me.
FACEBOOK or TWITTER? Ugh, Twitter…what IS that all about, anyway? Seriously NOT a fan of Twitter. I like Facebook and I’m starting to really LOVE Instagram!!
MY PASSIONS: I’m passionate about being a mom and a wife. It’s all I’ve ever really wanted to “be” when I grew up!
GIVING or GETTING PRESENTS: I really DO enjoy giving much better. I love making people happy.
FAVORITE DAY: Definitely Mother’s Day. It’s like my only payday of the year — and I don’t mean in gifts. It’s where my “job” is acknowledged and appreciated the most. The day is set aside for just that, so I consider it my payday.
FAVORITE FLOWER: I grew up with roses surrounding my home…so I’d have to say roses are my favorite flower. White, especially.
So now I’m supposed to choose a blog that I think deserves this award. This is hard because there are SO MANY wonderful blogs that I love reading…
But I’m going to have to go with Erin’s blog at The Sunny Side Up — her blog’s name says it all. Her posts are uplifting and cheery. I find that I need my daily dose of Erin each day. Plus, she’s one super organized mama! I get a lot of ideas from her blog.
Oh Katrina! You are so sweet! Thank you. I am so honored to receive this award from you! I have to say that I have been reading your blog for 40 minutes now. I read that you weren’t fond of Feb. 17th and linked to your story about your sweet Audriana. Oh my word. How have I not read that before? I have had huge tears just streaming down my face. I can’t believe all you have been through. What an amazing story. What an amazing daughter you have. And what an amazing mother you are. So much love and faith and hardship. I wish I could give you a hug right now!
xoxo,
Erin
I have to laugh when I read you “like it easy” you have 9 children with one on the way and you “like it easy?”
Maybe you should get the “Looney Award!”
