Many thanks to two lovely bloggers for giving me recent awards! Morgan Mandel gave me the "Happy 101" award, and Brande from Book Junkie bestowed upon me the "One Lovely Blog" award. Thanks so much for the honor, ladies!For Happy 101, the primary rule for accepting the award it to post 10 things that make you happy and then to pass it along to 5 other bloggers.
And for One Lovely Blog, the rules for accepting the award include posting it on your blog together with the name of the person who has granted the award, and his or her blog link. Pass the award to 10 other blogs. (Well, once I got started, I came up with a few more than that. :-) And notify everyone. Considering it's the Easter weekend, I'm bound to be a little slow at that...
So, here we go! 10 things that make me happy:
1. Peeps--squishy, sweet and so amusing
2. Warm weather (!!!!)
3. Anything Jon Bon Jovi sings
4. Gelato (I'm not at all picky on flavor)
5. Trips to scenic places, from Door County to the island of Capri
6. Funny, furry, loving pets
7. My son's artwork (and my son!)
8. Reading a novel that makes me laugh and feel understood by the author
9. The number 42 (because it's the answer to everything, just ask Douglas Adams)
10. My friends--online and off
(Also: my husband, my brother and parents, Jane Austen, Cadbury chocolate-caramel eggs, a working computer/printer, certain scripty fonts, going to live rock concerts, veggie pizza, book contracts, the film "When Harry Met Sally...")
I'm passing along Happy 101 to:
1. Edie Ramer/Magical Musings

3. Writing Romance in a Closet
4. Book Junkie
5. Cultural Observations

Thanks, Marilyn! I'd have about 6 from your list on my list two. And I've been to Door County a few times. It's lovely. Now, I just have to go to Capri. :)
Thanks so much, Marilyn! Congrats on your upcoming blogoversary :)
Hey! I blogged, let's see if anyone bites. I loved thinking of the list of 10- actually mine turned out to be 11. Loved your list too!
Thank you Marilyn! You know how much I love winning stuff, lol.
But the feeling is mutual because your blog is indeed lovely. Off to go post my award!
Happy Easter.
Edie, I've only been to Capri once (years ago with my husband, and only for half a day), but I'll always remember it...sigh ;).
You're welcome, Alita! Thanks for the blogoversary congrats!
Maria~LOVED your list! The beach, Bunco, the NYT bestseller list... All very happy-inducing events!!
Pamala, you deserve to win LOTS of stuff--but it can't possibly make up for all you do for others. Happy Easter :).
Your Happy 101 item No 9 fascinates me Marilyn! :) The number 42 is an interesting choice! (According to numerology it's the practical and logical 4 energy, working through the receptive and diplomatic 2 energy, to give the creative and balanced 6 energy)
And thanks for the lovley blog award - it's much appreciated! :):)
Hope you and yours have a lovely Easter Day.
Judy~How interesting! I love your numerology analysis!! (And I hope it's true. :) Enjoy the award and Happy Easter back at'cha!
