Today, I want to be the one "giving" out the blog awards.

The "I love your blog" award goes to my fellow bloggers who I take the time out of my busy day to read their stories, poems, rants, ideas, and some have beautiful pictures to share as well. I love their blogs and their friendships!

in no particular order:

ellen, from ..................this bittersweet symphony

deborshee, from anyone with me?

kelly, from my voice, my view

holly, from scribbles & splashes

sara louise, from sara in le petit village

denise, from the tirade journal

and lastly, to my friend Camile, from walking in my shoes. She gets the Inspiration Award! To me she is an inspiration to so many people (including me) and in so many ways. I'm blessed to have re-connected with her in my life. And I'm proud to call her my friend! i love you, soul-sister!

I am grateful for my blog community and thank you all for sharing!

Sharing is caring!

Love,

Merci Sara Louise pour lire me blogs et d'etre un fan! I love reading your blogs and seeing you learn new french words! C'est magnifique!

Mathew Lines - Part tres

My blog is like a digitally stored memory bank. I don't have the memory capacity to store it all inside my head. So I use my blog to store important memories that can easily be referred to. One of the things I like to store on here are the memories with my son, whether it's a story, an incident, or just his witty one-liners. I wrote a blog last year of some of my favorite Mathew lines called Mathew Lines (so creative, I know) and then out came some more favorite Mathew lines and wrote another blog and named it Mathew Lines - Part Deux (I threw in my french) and well here's the third version now, part tres. I see a trend here, don't you?

Don't forget to think of me in your head today.

I was thinking of Robin sitting next to me.

I'm going to take care of you.

You're the best thing that ever happened to me.

You are my girlfriend.

You will be my wife and wear a white dress and a white veil.

Be a good little mama monkey

I love your straight hair mama.

I love you to the _______(fill in the blank with; stars, moon, sun, sky, etc) and back!!

I love you to infinity and beyond.

I dreamed of you last night.

I'm going to miss you. (when dropping him off at school).

I love you all the time.

Are you proud of me mama?

Did you see that mama?

Can you play Wii with me mama?

I want another hug.

You're the only person I love.

You are awesome mama!

He's also still calling me chica and mamasita!

Oh, how I love my little mama's boy! I am so blessed!!!

(So some of these might be repeats, and if they are it's cause he's still using it or cause it's still stored in my memory bank inside my head.)

To the only love of my life that will ever be, Mathew ❤

I love you more than you will ever know....

xoxo

Sci-Fi

I just finished reading a book yesterday, The Host, by Stephanie Meyer. It's a science fiction novel about aliens. Definitely not something I would pick out myself, but since it was given/recommended to me by my cousin and since I thoroughly enjoyed this author's Twilight series, I thought I'd give it a shot. First of all, the only reason I gave the Twilight series a chance was to read for myself the hype about this so-called perfect man (that as we all know does not exist in real life) "Edward Cullen". Yes, I was hooked immediately (like the rest of them) and read all four books in less than two weeks. So yes, I gave this science fiction author another chance and I'm glad I did cause I loved it! Which now leads me to believe I've only been faking my dislike for sci-fi all this time.

If someone asked me 'are you a sci-fi fan' or 'do you like sci-fi', my answer would be no - before last night that is. I must have been in denial all these years. Could it be the association of science-fiction and Trekkies, possibly? I never watched Star Trek and refuse to till this day, (maybe it's a subconscious fear of liking it and not wanting to be a Trekkie). One thing is for sure, I can't deny my love for science fiction any longer.

I love science fiction movies: Star Wars, Superman, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Cocoon, Independence Day, Mad Max, Weird Science, The Matrix, The Fifth Element, and now I realize the list can definitely go on. I also love science fiction television shows: Smallville, The Vampire Diaries, Highlander, Charmed, Wonder Woman, "V", Mork & Mindy, and this list can go on as well. And now apparently I love science fiction books. The point is that as much as I don't want to admit it, I am a science fiction fan, I truly am. You can add this to my long list of "dork" traits.

Hi, my name is Nancy and I'm a Sci-Fi fan!

(just don't call me a Trekkie or I'll have to hurt you)

Gorgeous Blogger Award

On February 3rd, Kelly, from My Voice, My View bestowed upon me the "gorgeous blogger award" and to her I am grateful and honored! Thank you my fellow gorgeous blogger! :)

P.S. Kelly, sorry for the delay in my gratitude, I've been missing in action from the blog world the last couple of weeks. I don't know how all you bloggers keep up with blogging so frequently and reading all the other fellow blogs as well! Kudos to you all!!
