Versatile Blogger award
Thought of the Day…Friends can make you laugh like no one else can. ~Unknown
I received the Versatile Blogger award from Jules over at A Little Bit of Life. Thank you Jules!
Here were my conditions for accepting this award:
1. Thank and link back to the person who gave you the award.
2. Share 7 things about yourself.
3. Pass the award along to 15 other bloggers who you recently discovered and think are fabulous.
4. Contact the bloggers you choose and let them know they won the award.
7 things about me:
- I am a full-time mom with a full-time “techie” day job working for a high tech company. (for the more technical people, “techie” = programmer/analyst and database administrator)
- My life revolves around my family; of which my immediate family is The Offspring and Hubby. Occasionally I’ll mention others, but The Offspring and Hubby are my life. 😀
- You won’t see much about pets here. Not because we’re “pet haters”, but because we currently do not have any pets. Our beloved Lady died in 2004 and with our hectic schedule we just felt it wouldn’t be fair to add a pet that wouldn’t get the attention she deserved. Warning though, I may occasionally mention our sweet little Lady. I miss her so dearly! 😥 I’m allergic to cats, so I’m not a cat fancier, but do enjoy the cute kitten photos I see. 🙂
- I LOVE to cook, bake and learn new creative dishes. Since I do work outside the home, I am always on the lookout for quick and easy dinners. I HATE that I can’t cook/bake much right – the kitchen SNAFU is really getting on my nerves – BIG TIME! I will soon start a tag called “Kitchen Remodel”.
- I love photography. I have a small (very tiny) photography business. Most of my photography is sports (primarily of The Offspring) and I also do portrait work. I did a senior portrait shoot last week. Will be sharing the result soon (I hope, SNAFU has my time consumed when I’m not doing my “day job”).
- I grew up in the Midwest part of the United States and have been living in the Pacific Northwest for almost 20 years. During the winter, please forgive me when I start whining about the lack of sunshine… it rains 9 months out of the year here! UGH!!! 😥
- Does it seem like there is too much to do and not enough of me to go around? I thought so, hence my blog name! 😉

Stef,
Thank you so much for the award! I think the name of the award describes my blog perfectly – since it has no regular theme – just life – which is crazy and very versatile!
I appreciate it and love visiting your blog as well!
I like the title of this award, too. My blog bounces all over and it’s nice to know I fit in somewhere! I love your support… I haven’t stopped the Baby Steps… but the Kitchen SNAFU has really overwhelmed me! 🙁
I don’t want to seem like an ungrateful bitch, but my tagline is misspelled- ‘cast’ not case.
Now, that my ungratefullnessness is over, THANK YOU STEF for this award and your subscription. People like you are what keep me going when fairies steal my pants and my dog is held hostage by Google. Thank you.
Also, thank you for listing me as a ‘lifestyle’ blogger. I usually have no idea where the frick to list my blog which is why my other tagline is, “Commonly listed under ‘humor'” because that’s where most people/blogging services list me. It’s nice to see where other people think my blog fits because it doesn’t make me feel so… nicheless?
Hi Sara! Sorry for the typo… I’ve fixed it. 😀 (you’re not ungrateful, I’m very sorry to have gotten it wrong. I thought I did a cut and paste, but must have had to type part of that… or the internet is playing tricks on us… I bet you’re not a bitch either. 😉 ) I
‘ve been reading your blog for several weeks (maybe months) and I love your Friday Flip-Offs!! I look forward to seeing if I can find something I relate to. I’m glad I could give you a niche in the blogging world. 😉
Stef
Hi Steph!!
Thank you so much!!! You are so sweet!! Whopee! This really made my day!!
You put a lot of time and effort into this post! It is amazing how you did it!
Thank you so very much!!!
Hugs,
Java
Java, I love that I found another “over 40” blog. When I get a badge made, I’ll let you know so you can add my blog to your blog roll. I have a stick figure, but I’m not an artist so I’m not sure how to make it into a cute drawing. 🙁
Thanks for stopping by!
