Awards

I've been a blessed lil blogger lately and have many folks thinking about me (thinking good things mostly, I hope :-)

I have been nominated for the Versatile Blogger award  by B-Kat  at Slay the Monster who recently did indeed valiantly slay her monster and is now debt free!!! She is at that exciting phase of planned spending and saving and has created some amazingly positive financial habits for herself. Good job B-Kat! and thank you for thinking of me. I was also tagged for this by another blogger and for the life of me I can't remember who. I discovered it by reading their blog and swore I'd remember. Man I am getting old. If it was you, please let me know so I can credit  you properly.


Part of the versatile blogger award is to reveal 7 things about me that my readers do not know.

hmmmmm

1) I believe in Cart Karma. I believe that if you do not put your cart away in a parking lot, the cart gods will come and find you, and scratch or dent your vehicle. I always put my cart away (and sometimes an extra one) and add a good favour to my Cart Karma Bank!

2) I have gone and met folk from the internet. Twice I've flown places and once I drove to another city. Very exhilarating experiences. The flight ones are obviously from a time when I did not budget or watch my spending as they went on the CC.

3) I lost 2 babies before I had my boys. While it was too soon to tell, I believe they were both girls.

4) I would rather curl up at home alone with a meal and a good book than go out to a restaurant with a large group of people.

5) I weep when I go by smaller towns where businesses are closing up, houses boarded and schools closed.

6) I always whisper "I'm sorry" when I go by hitch hikers. It's just not safe to stop but I really feel badly that I do not.

7) When visiting a new city I always check the phonebook for my maiden name. It's rather unique and our branch is pretty darn small so I always find it fun  to see if there are more of us elsewhere.

Also, while checking my stat counter page I found someone had visited from a blog I did not recognize. I clicked on the link to explore. I've found some great blogs out there this way!! I was so surprised to find myself linked on this blog for a different award. I was so honoured and touched.  A big shout out to Chez at Monarch Place, for giving me the Liebster Award. She's based out of Australia. Thanks Chez.


Whether you are a new reader or a longtime one, I wanted to thank you for coming by my corner of the blogosphere to share in my journey, and letting me share in yours.
