Don't hate me because I'm crazy and lazy. A long winded post but a good one.

I can think back to not too long ago, when my little Blog had 8 followers. I remember that I would visit other Blogs and see all of these awards that had been bestowed upon them. My heart would yearn to be honored with a cute little button that would show the world that someone noticed me. So, I took matters into my own hands and created this amazing one of a kind award...

Here is the an excerpt from the post
that went with this lovely button.

I have been noticing these sweet awards popping up on other Blogs. Awards like..."The Best Mommy Blogger on the Block Award" or "You're super duper shmooper cool cause I am giving you this" award.

Well, I've grown tired of waiting around for someone to validate my blogging abilities. It's just not like me to sit and wait for people to notice me.

As a little girl, if I knew that a bunch of kids were playing without me, I would strategically walk by and act all surprised to see them. Then, I would simply invite myself over to play. Sure, they may have been annoyed at first, but after they realized how much more fun they were having because I was there, everyone was happy.

So in that same "can do" spirit, I have created a Blog Award like non other. It's the "I love my own damn blog" award. Here are the rules.

Post the button on your Blog and then write three things that you love about yourself. Then, select three Bloggers that you respect and invite them to come and admire your award.
It's that simple.

So, without further ado...

Three things that I love about me.

1. I have a very sexy brain.
2. I can tell you anything you want to know about a celebrity that was featured in People Magazine this week.
3. I can sing a very rousing rendition of Total Eclipse of the Heart at any Karaoke jam. Be it out in public or just a friend's living room, I rock the house!

Feel free to award yourself with this prestigious honor.

So, here I am, 338 Followers later and I have to make a confession to you. I haven't had an award's ceremony since October 2009. I don't know what's gotten into me. If you have given me an award since then, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. Every single person who takes the time to single me out is awesome and I lurve you. That being said...there will be no more award ceremonies on my Blog. I'm so far behind that my head starts spinning at the thought of trying to catch up. Let's face it folks, I can barely keep track of my car keys or what my 11 month old is eating off of the floor. I just pray that it's a leftover waffle bite and not cat food.

As a gift those who have taken the time to bestow an award upon me, I am giving you the "I love my own damn Blog" award up there. Take it, post it with pride, badger other Bloggers with 1000 followers to come see it and tell them that Leigh told you to do it. Be sure to post the three things that you love most about yourself. You all deserve it! Plus, I don't want you to think that I'm all snooty cause I'm no longer doing award ceremonies. A Mom's gotta do what a Mom's gotta do. On that note...I'm off to change a dirty diaper.
