Yesterday was a very busy day!!!!  All the memes, blog hopping, awards and visiting those blogs that I passed the awards onto.  And because of that, and not having enough coffee, I missed seeing another award until later in the day.  Busy Moms Who Love To Read (busymomswholovetoread.blogspot.com) not only awarded me with the “Great Blog Neighbor Award” but also the Prolific Blogger Award.  Thank you so very much. I will say again, when I am presented with an award, it makes me feel that I am a full fledged member in the book blogging club, and what are great feeling it is.  Again, thank you!!!

The Rules:
Every winner must pass this on to at least seven other deserving prolific bloggers. Spread the love people!
Each Prolific Blogger Award recipient must link back to the blog they received the award from.
And now, am passing this award to:

Before I start with all my Friday memes, I need to thank 3 very kind people.  Yesterday I was presented 2 awards and am honored to receive them.  I take these awards very seriously because it says to me that someone really likes my blog and that they enjoy the content.  Just a few months ago, I didn’t even know that this book blogging world existed and when I am presented with an award, it truly makes me feel that I have been accepted into the neighborhood.  I have said this before but need to reiterate.  One of my book blogging mentors (Vicki from Reading At The Beach) told me that I would be meeting the nicest people in the blogging world and she was so right.  Book bloggers are the kindest, friendliest, helpful people I have come to know.  Now to the awards:

I received this award from Lori at Dollycas’s Thoughts (http://dollycas.blogspot.com/

Time

Yesterday I was having one of those “down” days that we all get every now and then.  I went through my usual routine, coffee mug in hand, checking my email, reading all my booking newsletters that I subscribe to.  Every morning I look forward to this routine and it is always enjoyable reading the reviews, adding more titles to my TBR list (even though it will probably take a few lifetimes to read them all), what is going on each person’s blogs, etc, etc.  Having so much on my mind, what I find so much fun every morning, was not happening, I was just going through the motions. I then logged onto my blog and  saw that I needed to moderate comments.  To my surprise, and pleasantly so, I was presented with another award!!  Marce from Tea Time with Marce (http://teawithmarce.blogspot.com/) was so kind to think of me and passing it on.

Photobucket
Because of her thoughtfulness, on a day that started off gloomy, became radiant.  Thank you so much Marce.  If you haven’t visited her, you really should, she has a delightful blog.  Link is above.
Now the criteria……….

Thursday Awards

Photobucket

Before I share with you more awards that have been presented to me, I want to say THANK YOU.  And a big thank you it is, coming straight from my heart.  I am overwhelmed with all the prayers and well wishes I am getting for my upcoming surgery.  Please know that I WILL be having blogging withdrawals and missing you all.   I have not had much computer time these past 2 weeks and it looks the same for the next couple of weeks.  Because of this, please accept my apology for not visiting you.  I appreciate you stopping by, visiting and leaving comments.  I love and enjoy reading each and every comment.  And I promise, once this is over and I am home, I will have plenty of time on my hands (according to surgeon–up to at least 3 months minimum per our phone conversation this morning) for visiting each and every one of you.  Now to awards…………

Photobucket Time

The rules of receiving the award is to list down all 10 things about myself.
  Thank you both so much!!!!!  What a wonderful feeling knowing that your peers like what you are doing.  It just amazes me, sorry to repeat myself again) but it does, it AMAZES me that just a few months ago I didn’t know this world existed.  I have met so many kind and generous people.  One of my book blogging friends and mentors told me something when I first started and she was so right!!!!!  Vicki at Reading At The Beach readingatthebeach.com said to me that book bloggers were the nicest people that I would meet and oh was she right !
  OK…I will now list 10 (yawn) things about me.  Accept my apology for boring you lol……
 1.  Easter Sunday will be our 29th wedding anniversary
 2.  I was born on an Easter Sunday (for years my mother told me the Easter Bunny brought me…just realized last year she was fibbing about the bunny line  lol)
 3.  Math was my worse subject in school.
 4.  Family/friends hate to have me drive…they say I have a “heavy foot”.
 5.  I love to read by and/or in the pool (have a special reading float) with an Iced coffee from Dunkin Donuts (will be doing a lot of that this summer)
 6.  I am afraid of flying (but will suffer) especially if we are going to Aruba (our favorite place to visit)
 7.  I am a cable news junkie…don’t watch much tv
 8.  Since we have an 11 letter last name, we decided on 4 letter first names that are from the Bible for both our sons.
 9.  I can’t and won’t eat liver 
10.  I am having such a good time in this community of book blogging !!!!!!!!!

Due to time it takes to pass it on….I will pass them on to a few today, the rest at a later time.  Today they go to my mentors and all I inspire to model and consider to be friends (in no particular order)
