A loooong time ago I was given a couple blogging awards but I kept forgetting to add them to my blog!  This is not because I didn’t appreciate them btw – I really DID appreciate them!!  So thanks to The Recovering Lethargic from his self-titled blog and to Ashley from Writing To Reach You for the awards!  I love both of your blogs and it was super cool to be recognized by both of you on your own blogs. 

My awards:

Arte Y Pico Award

and:

There aren’t really rules for these awards – something like post back to the giver and pass it on to 5 or something…

SO … I’d like to pass the “Rockin’ Girl Blogger” award to:

• Pam from Reflections forma neurotic writer…
• Lindsay from Journey to Oz
• Erin from Aussie Erin the American
• Elsja from Elsja’s Bloggity Blog
• Tonya from Sunshowers and Rainstorms
• And Matina you would be on this list if you started blogging again!  Miss you!! Hugs!!!

And the Arte Y Pico Award (creative blog award) goes to:

• Pinkie Larue from Pinkielarue.com
• Carmen Forward from The Pomegranate Blog
• Ashley from Writing to Reach You
• Princess Pointful from … and hijinks ensued.
• Going to Pieces from Matt’s Photoshop

And in an additional bit of housekeeping ….

I think I’ve been a little slack about goal #9 from my 101 list.  So … here is a quick list of the goals I’ve accomplished since starting my 101 list so that I can keep goal number #9 – Blog about each of these tasks – under control.

• #15 – Blurb book of family memories (gave it to M&D for Christmas – they LOVED it. yay!)
• #17 – Read Boundaries: Where You End and I Begin – life changing book for me – definitely recommend it!
• #22 – Finish writing the 101 list
• #24 – Gratitude Journal for 30 days (ooh – I did this when I had a BAD attitude about AUS and I made myself come up with things I was grateful for in AUS ONLY – not an easy task.  Now I could do it without batting an eye!)
• #26 – Set up 101 list on blog with countdown
• #27 – Prioritize the 101 list with time frames
• #29 – Write a list of my worst fears
  
• #30 – Analyze how these fears prevent me from reaching my goals. (I think doing this helped me let them go – yay!)
• #38 – Get an “HD” or “High Distinction” on at least one essay.
• #39 – Get a “D” or “Distinction” in at least one class.
• #44 – lose 10 lbs
• #46 – Take a multivitamin every day for one month without missing a day!
• #52 – Herbal Detox
• #56 – Plant and grow a vegetable
• #62 – Finish decorating my bed in Australia
• #65 – Watch an entire sunrise with someone else
• #66 – Learn to play 2 new games
• #67 – Change attitude and be open to falling in love
• #79 – Build a snowman
• #90 – Visit Torronga Zoo
• #92 – Go to church 8 times in one year
• #109 – Send Christmas Cards
• #110 – Do a holiday picture for Christmas Cards (wait why are there 110 goals?  Because I’m an OVER-ACHIEVER! )

Ok – so that’s not so shabby.  I’ve done 23 of my 101 goals and I have until June 29, 2011 to do the rest.
