An Award for Moi

I have to say that last night's Cardio Sculpt class may very well be the best one I've ever been to. I felt strong, I felt sassy (crazy to feel that way in an exercise class, but I did!) & I totally kicked that class' butt!!

My resolutioners were out in full force, but lucky for me, I pulled into the parking lot and found an amazing parking space! It was the kind of spot Mr. Potts & I would call Rock Star Parking.

Ashley over at Kiwis & Cocktails awarded me the Glamourous Blog Award. There aren't any rules associated with this award, so to make it fun, I'm going to award this & describe how I envision my first meeting with these lovely ladies. (a la MCW).


1. Brown Eyed Girl - I see us meeting in Charleston (because who doesn't LOVE Charleston) and walking through the historic distric before heading to a rooftop bar & having a cocktail while taking in all the sights.

2. Brittany from Living in the Moment - We'd meet up for a high energy cardio class (only she wouldn't be teaching it) & we'd laugh our way through it, turning to look at each other as if saying, "WTH?". We'd wrap that up & then sip on a smoothie outside in the sunshine.

3. Susannah from The Edwards Edition - She'll be right there with b.e.g. & me in Charleston, walking around, enjoying the sun & sipping drinks on the rooftop.

4. Brittany from Molly Lou Gifts - We'd meet up in a quaint city in SC somewhere & find stationary stores to wander through. I'd lean in to admire something & she'd lean in to tell me how marked up it is. Then we'd laugh, leave the store & high tail it to a coffee shop where we could sit outside in the sun (are you noticing a theme here with sunshine?) & enjoy our chat.

5. Brittany from Notes From the Grove - Since Brittany (notice another theme here with the names?) is out in Boise, I see her taking me under her wing (somehow I envision her as taller than me & as if she'd act like my older sister [although I don't have one]) and teach me how to ski or snowboard. I'd end up falling a ton & Brittany, concerned that I'd have to leave in a body cast would coax me into taking a break to drink spiked hot chocolate by a roaring stone fire place. Mr. Potts & Brent could ski all they want while we chatted away.

6. Kimmie from Full Circle - Kimmie & I would spend the day baking cookies & icing them. Once we were done, we'd venture to her outdoor living area (I may be embellishing a bit here) & we'd eat said cookies & watch Texas football.

7. Gwen from Confessions of a Control Freak - With her love of handbags, Gwen & I would quickly find the newest collections & ooh & ahh over the different bags. We'd pick them up & talk to them as if they were our babies. We'd laugh at each other & then move on to the next ones that catch our eye.

I'm ending at 7 simply because today is the 7th.

Happy Thursday! Aren't you glad the weekend is almost here?

Happy Happy Joy Joy!!

I get the googly ooglies when an award is given to me! I mean seriously, happy grinning, full teeth showing happy smile!!

As Jenny DB would say, I've got some Blog Bling!!

The crazy part of this is, I was awarded the Happy 101 award by several different bloggers that I adore: MCW, Landlocked Mermaid, Whitney, Brittany and Brittany! What really touched me is the fact that they all singled me out as being someone special and someone happy. I like to think that I am!
This award suggests that I offer 10 things that make me happy and then pass on to 10 more happy peeps.

And so....here we go!

1. Mr. Potts. He is supportive, humors me in my silliness (see post about our upcoming holiday party and my award winning ditty) (and truth be told, he's just as silly as I am), adores my munchkins as much as I do...honestly the list goes on & on.
2. My munchkins. I can't say enough about them. The picture below is from yesterday - post to follow later.
3. Curling up with my favorite blanket on a cold day, snuggling up with Mr. Potts on our new furniture (squeal!) and enjoying a lazy day.

4. Cozy, yummy things. Warm, fuzzy sweaters, gloves that keep my fingers warms, fun socks that keep my toes warm (are you noticing a trend towards warm here?).

5. Christmas music. I can listen to this year round. Chris Botti has a fabulous Christmas CD & Ave Maria moves me to tears no matter when I listen to it. Charlie Brown Christmas? Yes, please, play it again!!

6. A good bottle of wine (Mas Donis is a fave) along with a wonderful meal to enjoy it with.

7. When my hair, makeup & clothes all work together at the same time making me look as fabulous on the outside as I feel on the inside!

8. Feeling fabulous about myself. I've lost 18lbs now. I fit into clothes & don't feel like I'm being sawed in half each time I take a breath.

9. LOST is starting soon!!! February 2nd, to be exact!!!

10. I've been surprised how much I've loved blogging. I never thought that I would make the connections I've made.
