Renee tagged me today.  I gotta thank her for that cuz I needed a good kick in the pants to get back to blogging.    So, thanks Renee!!

Here are the rules…

1. The winner can put the logo on their blog
2. Link the person you received your award from
3. Nominate at least 7 other blogs.
4. Put links of those blogs on yours.
5. Leave a message on the blogs of the girls or boys you’ve nominated.

Ok so rule one and two taken care of!  Now on to nominating 7 other blogs.  Hmm, ok I pick the following:

1. Jamie Harker – Well, just because the girl cracks me up more often than not.
2. Sarah Bolton – Umm, shes young and still has a footloose and fancy free life, so I get to relive my life, errr, 10 years ago, all over again though her.   Plus she’s a darn good babysitter.
3. Becky Fleck – I like the Page Maps.  Of course I’ve only used one once.  But, if I got the chance to scrapbook more I swear I’d use more.
4. Jana Walsh – Cute cards and stuff.  She seems to find other blogs that actually do technique ideas and I like that.  Again, something I’d put to better use if I made more time to scrap.
5. Emily Adams – She does this “Sense”-ational Sunday thing that I enjoy.  It’s totally not scrapbooking related, but cool just the same.
6. Tim Holtz, Because I learn somethign nearly everytime I visit.  FYI he is on QVC Sept 23rd.
7. Ali Edwards – Always something good over there.

Now I need to run around and comment all over.  Something I’m not going to do right now cuz Shelby is actually “resting” and I have other things I’d like to do with my quiet time.  Denny is not home this weekend so I’m on kid duty and I’ll take the break where I can get it.

In other news I’ve actually created some stuff over the last two weeks.  I’m working on a secret project that I can’t reveal until November.  Beyond that I’ve done two tiles and a clear acrylic album.  I’ll post some photos tomorrow when Denny gives my camera back.

Hmm, what other exciting stuff has gone on around here?  Well, my hairdyer caught on fire, lol.  It’s funny now, however not so funny in the moment.  The second I turned it on flames started climbing up the cord from the base of the plug.  Thankfully I had the good sense to yank it out and put the cord in the sink to put out the fire.  I called the company and they sent a call tag for it and are replacing it.  They said it’s “deffective.”  Gee, ya think?

Then yesterday Denny thought he was having a heart attack.  Turns out he decided that a particular medication he was given wasn’t all that effective, (I agree with him there), so he decided to wean himself off.  (Again, I’m ok with that.)  However…. weaning off requires more than THREE days.  Argh, so he basically stopped a blood pressure altering drug cold turkey.  Not a good idea.  So the racing heart, crazy blood pressure, lightheaded and tingly Denny with chest pains went to the doctor.  The doctor told him the same thing I did after an EKG and a chest xray.  That being said, he did actually have soemthing else wrong with him – a viral lung infection.  The infection was causing the chest pain.  Lots of excitement yesterday.

That about covers it for today.  I got up super early this morning so I am off to go vegitate for a few.
