MeMe Monday

This post took all day to get done. Lot's of errands and a doctor appointment in the in between. If you take the time to read this--Bless you heart.

This is going to be chock full of goodness and I may not get it done before blogger decides to have its planned outage. We shall see.(I didn't)
Melanie over at Livin' With Me has decided that Monday would be a good day to take care of bloggy business. That involves Meme and giving away awards.
Today I have two Meme to take care of and a few awards --we will see how many I get to. First, is the MeMe from Bunny Girl over at The Prodigal Daughter. It is the six thing Meme. I have done this before and because of the fact that I am not an incredibly fascinating person I will try and come up with six things about myself.

"The Rules for this Meme are:
(1) Link to the person that tagged you.
(2) Post the rules on your blog.
(3) Share six non-important things/habits/quirks about yourself.
(4) Tag six random people at the end of your post by linking to their blogs.
(5) Let each random person know they have been tagged by leaving a comment on their website."

1. I have had a story line for a book in my head since I was about 12. It involves a mysterious emerald which is probably why I have a thing about emeralds to this day.

2. The first dish I learned how to make was Meat Sauce and Spaghetti. I think I was around 9.
I used to love pretending I was Julia Childs while I was doing this.

3. I love to teach children's church. But when I feel the H.S start to speack through me and I start to get excited--my face and neck get red. It is not that I am nervous. I think it has something to do with the fact that I am excited that God is speaking through me.
I have actually just come out and told the kids not to worry about my neck and face getting red--I promised them my head was not about to explode. :)
Honestly I said that in front of the church. What was I thinking????

4. I love coffee and would rather spend the money to try a different type than spend the money to have my nails or feet done. Don't worry I just take care of both of the latter myself. A girl has got to take care of the important things too. :)

5. I love the smell of leaves burning during the fall--it reminds me of my grandfather and how he used to rake up the leaves and burn them. That is probably part of why I love having a fireplace right now.

6. I can not stand the feel of raw hamburger, chicken or bacon on my hands. And if it gets under my nails--it majorly grosses me out. Like do you totally get what I am sayin dahlin?

And so now my six are......drum roll please............which ever six would like to grace us with info about them selves. Go on I know you are thinking it........phew! I know tags can be rough.

One more. This one is one of those linky things. It is from Melanie over at Livin With Me. The is called ABCDE

Rule #1

Copy all the links below and replace a single link under the appropriate alphabet. If your domain name, or even the title of your blog, starts with an ” A,” you’d replace the link under that alphabet and put the replaced link at the bottom. Also, don’t forget to credit the tagger, or where you got the list from, at the end of the list with a full URL of the post so that a pingback gets generated.

Rule #2

You now have to “tag” at least five people and encourage them to participate so that this thing spreads like a virus. Remember, though, that not everyone’s into these kinds of things, so don’t be upset if they don’t participate. Just simply replace your tag. Remember to tag blogs only and no pornographic ones as we do want to keep the integrity as a blogging community. TIP: Tag your frequent EntreCard droppers via its messaging system.

So if you want to participate- and it is not hard- here are my names.
The Samaritan Woman, Free To Fly, Shore Stories, Shorty Bears Place, and Mary's Writing Nook
Take it if you want girls.

Melanie was also sweet to give me an award. Thank ya girl! It is the You Make My Day Award.

Don't you just love all the love passing around? You guys who leave comments-this is for you!! You make my day!

The two above come from my sweet friend Denise over at ShortyBears Place. She really encourages my heart daily. And maybe one day I will get to meet her and hug her neck.
If we are sister we will always be friends. That is because we will be spending eternity together. Please help yourself to the above awards.
The next awards come from a beautiful new friend that I have really come to enjoy. She also encourages my heart. Her blogs name is Free To Fly and if you have not discovered her posts on The Year Of Romance--you really should check it out. And then maybe join us.
These go to all my girls. If I come to your blog it is surely love able. And that means I think YOU ROCK!
That is a whole lot of love being sent around blogdom-- and I can tell you that I certainly love it. And you know what God does too! I think it makes Him smile.

And last one of my girls gave me a little something that meant a whole lot to me.
I look up to this woman. Not as one on a pedestal-but just as one who has walked a path a little ahead of me at times. Her name is Karen of Karen's Ramblings and she has taught me a lot about myself by telling me about herself. She and I share some things in common spiritually.
This was created by her but I don't know if it is meant to be passed on.
But I thank her for it.I want to pass this on to two women who encourage my heart spiritually.
Denise of The Samaritan Woman and Maria of Free To Fly.
I am going to enjoy getting to know you women. You make me think--and I like that.
So PLEASE stick around. I enjoy the give and take.

This has only taken all day to get done. :)
If you made it to the bottom--BLESS YOUR HEART! If that doesn't prove you are lovable I don't know what does.
