Blog Hop

Hello friends.  It's hump day!  I'm more than ready for the weekend.  It's been storming all week here and the weeds are alovin it. The good news is that the rains brought in a little relief from the heat.  It feels like fall around here.  Time to get the pumpkins ready...and the long sleeves too!  I'm like the weeds and alovin it.  How about you?  Are you ready for the cold?  Leave me a comment telling me where you are and how your weather looks today.

Callie from My Something New was kind enough to invite me to join her blog hop this week.  Have some fun and join it too!  The link-up is below.

On The Map

Have you seen this?



I just discovered it  here.  It's a blog directory map.  How cool is that!  There are a few rules to follow to be listed, but they're the usual ones.  And you should see how many are listed on the map.  Boocoodles.

Anywho, I thought it was interesting and signed up.  Hope to see you there.  :)

Another Award!

Well, it seems that I have been nominated for another award .  This time, it's the Versatile Blogger Award.   Rena of Revamp Spunky Rena nominated me.  Thank you Rena!  You're the best!  In researching this award, I found this site. I didn't get much from it but I am listing it if anyone else is interested in the info.

The rules to follow to accept the nomination are:

1. Nominate 15 fellow bloggers who are relatively new to blogging.
2. Let the nominated bloggers know that they have been nominated for this award.
3. Share 7 random facts about yourself
4. Thank the blogger who has nominated you.
5. Add the Versatile Blogger Award picture to your post.

Here are my random facts in random order :)

• I've given blood two times in my life and got sick both times. 
• I sang in choir in high school.
• I'm a lefty and proud of it.
• I went to Canada once on vacation and didn't get cold until I got back home in Mississippi.
• I can't decide if my favorite ice cream flavor is black walnut or butter pecan (kinda leanin toward the latter).
• I'm not tickleish.
• I can easily get the cryin', bellyroll, uncontrollable giggles over NOTHING.  

My 15 nominees (also in random order) are:

Brittany of Oh Hey Brittany

Dontaye of The Scott-Neal House

Gigi of Sweet and Sassy Texan

Nicole of Three 31

Tif of Ramblings Of A Southern Belle

Paige of Eloping Stethoscope

Laura of Adventures In The Lake Country

Heather of Keep The Faith And Love

Lyzz of Defying Gravity

Rach of A Dash Of Southern

Carol of Southern Belle Way

Debra of Granny's Down Home Southern Cooking

Callie of My Something New With You

Ashley of Ashley Everyday

Brittney of The Sweet Life

You may notice a theme with my selections.  They all are members of  the Southern Bloggers, me included.  Another distinguishing factor is that we all started blogging in 2012.  Can't get much newer than that!

Congratulations ladies.  I've said it before and I'll say it again.  Us sutherns' gotta stick together!  Glad to have ya aboard.

I don't know about you but my blog could stand a little (ok, a lot) of exposure.  And a custom blog button - well, who doesn't need that!

But wait!  What about those of us who don't have a blog you say?  To that I say look closer.  There are gift certificates and earrings.  Up my alley also!

It's so easy to enter.  Just go to The NY Melrose Family to enter.  You can enter up to 38 times (plus one a day) just by liking or tweeting or blogging.  That simple.  There's only two days left though, so you better get on the ball.

As a side note, there will be a bloghop on July 26 at The NY Melrose Family.  Try to make it.  I will.

Til next time, have fun!
