This has been a big award accepting week for me. First on Tuesday through the post it notes… and now today. Well it was originally going to be yesterday (and earlier today) but I figure, better late than never right?
The first award today is courtesy of Ms. Random at Ms. Random’s Ramblings. I enjoy going to her blog and tweeting with her often.
To accept this award (because I’m not cheating like I did the other day…), I need to list 10 things that make me happy and pass the award on to 10 bloggers that I adore, link and thank the person who gave the award to me and notify the new recipients of the award. Whew! Hopefully this’ll all get done tonight. Ha!
First the 10 things that make me happy (in no particular order…)
1. Holding my nephew (I should do this more)
2. Receiving flowers unexpectedly
3. Taking a nap
4. Taking a walk with a friend and catching up on life.
5. Watching Project Runway (even in re-runs… me likey Tim Gunn)
6. Twittering (some may say I do this too much… I think not.)
7. The feeling after I’ve had a good/hard workout
8. Getting groceries when I’ve planned for it.
9. Doing Dishes.
10. Driving my new car (except when I have a headache… cause that kinda bites.)
The other award that I’m linking up today is from Jennifer over at 3 Pugs and a Baby. I don’t go to her blog near enough… but mainly because *EVERYTIME* I do, I sit in awe of turtle (her son)… so cute!! Especially in this post from this past week.
Now I need to name 7 things that y’all don’t know about me. This could be tough — especially after this blog post a few weeks ago. I also need to pass it along to 7 bloggers — but you’ll see what I’m going to do in a minute with that.
So here are 7 things that you might not know — about things that I own…
1. I have owned a TIVO for 7 years now (in one version or another). I actually started researching them when they first came out — and wanted it WAY back then, but couldn’t afford it. I’m one of the lucky people that has the lifetime guarantee of service. 
2. I have a Sleep Number bed – and love it. I can honestly say that when I get married, I will have to replace it with a king size version. But then y’all will want to sleep in my guest bedroom. Yes, they are THAT nice.
3. The television in my bedroom SUCKS. I don’t say this lightly. The color has been off since the day I bought it and it makes weird cracking noises in the middle of the night when I’m sleeping (other times too, but it really bugs me at night.) Yet, even with these defects – I haven’t replaced it. Did you notice that I’m dutch???
4. I have a scanner that I purchase a year (about) ago… and have used exactly twice. Not a good “dutch” move on my part there.
5. I own a blender… but never use it. I’m going to learn to make smoothies one of these days. And then actually make them.
6. I have more magazines here at my house right now than I could read in a year. Oprah, Good Housekeeping, Real Simple and Weight Watchers. I save them for the articles.
7. My favorite piece of furniture in my home is my oversized chair. I absolutely love it… but for some reason haven’t been sitting in it much recently. Must change this stat.
So now I would like to bestow BOTH of these awards to the following 10 bloggers. Yes — I am trying to maintain the highest level of efficiency here. Many – er, all – of these bloggers I have gotten to know on Twitter and love chatting with them about the randomness of life or whatever is happening in our worlds that day. I hope you all enjoy this!
So there you have it… awards week here at DUTCHbeingME is complete! Hope you all like your awards!!
