I’d Like to Thank the Academy

July 30, 2012 by · 14 Comments

I had the most wonderful thing happen to me on Friday.  A fellow blogger, Peggy from The Decorating Files has awarded me the Versatile Blogger Award!

 

I have never won an award before and this announcement put me into such a happy place I almost wet my pants!  First of all, I would like to thank the academy, my mom and dad for always believing in me and my agent, publicist and friend … wait a minute.  I don’t have an agent or publicist …. well not yet!  Ha!  I know I am being a little dramatic … but I may never get a chance to give this speech again, so what the hell?  Oh crap … I forgot my husband and kids.

Who knew that blogging about home decor and projectile vomiting would win me a Versatile Blogger Award?  Thank you so much Peggy!  Peggy always leaves me the best comments and I am so thrilled she thought of me!  This is an award given from blogger to blogger,  kinda like the SAG Awards in Hollywood.  Not really … but a girl can dream and make up fake things in her head, can’t she?

 

HOW IT WORKS:

  • If you are nominated, you’ve been awarded the Versatile Blogger award.
  • Thank the blogger who nominated you and include a link to their site.
  • Copy and paste the award to your blog.
  • Share 7 random facts about yourself.
  • Nominate 15 bloggers that you’ve recently discovered or follow regularly and include a link to their site.
  • Let the other Bloggers know that you have nominated them.
SEVEN RANDOM FACTS ABOUT ME:
1. Quick Favs:  Color – Green / Movie – Shawshank Redemption / Song – “September” by Earth, Wind and Fire and “Only the Good Die Young” by Billy Joel / Lucky Number – 18 / T.V. Show – Criminal Minds / Food – Crab Legs
2.  In my next life, I want to come back as an FBI Profiler or a Broadway Star!  FYI – I cannot sing or dance in this life.
3.  If I could live anywhere in the world it would be – Barcelona, Spain!
4.  I have almost died twice in my life.  I am here for a reason.
5.  I have a pretty bad “potty-mouth”!
6.  I am deathly afraid of the dentist since a drill was dropped in my mouth during a crown.  A hole was drilled under my tongue and I had to have stitches.  Have you every heard of this happening to anyone ?  I have that kind of weird “luck”!
7.  I do my best thinking in a hot bubble bath.  I have spent an inordinate amount of time in a tub.
MY NOMINATIONS FOR THE VERSATILE BLOGGER AWARD:
I follow all of these amazing women’s blogs.  They are smart, funny and incredibly creative.  I highly encourage you to take a few minutes to check out some of these links.  You really won’t regret it.
Thanks again to Peggy from The Decorating Files for awarding me the Versatile Blogger Award.  I appreciate it more than you know!

Hope your life is more Award Winning heaven than Loser havoc!

Missi

      Thanks so much Tina! I am thrilled to have had you visit my blog. I am so in love with your blog and your store! If we meet up in another life, will you write me a really juicy part where I sing, dance and have a steamy love scene with Robert Pattinson? I would be forever grateful! :)

Either I work for a rockstar or you need a new dentist ;) Thanks again for this award! You rock for thinking of me! But, you rock harder because you have 4 teens!!!!!

      We have so much in common! We should hang out in our green bikini’s pantsuits and say real bad words for hours! Can you believe that dentist story? I have never gone back to him … too crazy! I am not rocking too hard tonight – my kids are fighting like crazy and I feel like hiding in the closet in the fetal position. Aarrgghh!! Love your blog so much … you crack me up!

        okay, since I got the Top Parenting Blog award I feel like I should give you advice here.
        Regarding your fighting teenagers here’s what you do: Very quietly get up and find the nearest shoe and chuck it at them. They will disperse quickly..I promise you! If they don’t then chase after them. If their still not scared…grab a broom! My husbands mother did it all the time and he turned out just fine ;)

          I am in complete awe at your amazing advice. Why didn’t I think of the shoe idea? I thought the grabbing the pony tail while pulling them to the ground and saying in a scary whispery voice …”I own you! So do what I say … NOW!” was the best way to stop the fighting. It could not work nearly as well as the “dreaded broom chase”. I will store these ideas for next time. Therapy isn’t really that expensive. Right? HA!

    Missi,
    Hello! A very big CONGRATS! on the Versatile Blogger Award! Yeah! You do have an awesome blog my friend and really deserve this award. I love those two songs as well and while I do listen to Green Day, Rap, Hip Hop, etc of this generation when my teens are in the car, my favorite music will always be from the 50′s, 60′s and 70′s ! At least you can understand the lyrics and sing along. Have a great Tuesday!

      Thanks Leigh! Wish we lived closer … we have so much in common. We could torture our teens by rapping in the car with all the wrong words. They love that!
      Off to watch the Olympics … I am seriously addicted! Have a great night girl!
