New Sites


As you can see I have been posting some new Fave Sites. The Gladheims is my good friend Jenny's blog (from back in my Navy days.) It's a private blog about her family, but believe me, her kids are adorable! Thanks for the invite, Jen!!! :)

Happy Janssens and The Happy Hoop are two new links Lon found for me. This energetic and adventurous family has been on the road full time for several years now and they are doing some super cool stuff. Sara (mom/wife/blogger) is also into hooping, which I had never heard of. It looks like fun and if you visit YouTube.com, you can see some mesmerizing videos...imagine hula hoop meets yoga meets funky music meets VERY limber and talented people. Thought of another good friend, Jennifer Prince, when I saw this! :) Got my hoop out as soon as I saw the site...now, if I can just keep from damaging anything...

The NuRVers is a group of 'younger' (meaning: not of retirement age) full time RVers making their living on the road or just taking a break from the rat race for a bit. Their rallies sound like a blast!

So good to hear that so many people are seeing this as a viable option for a lifestyle. Can't wait to try it out ourselves...Must be patient...three years can go by really fast, but it seems like a long time when you're at the beginning.

Somebody loves me!


Or at least my blog...thank you, Christine (from the award-winning blog at Type A Chronicles), for giving my silly little blog the 'When Life Hands You Lemons' award. I will treasure it dearly!
The rules for this award are simple:
Thank the giver of the award and link their blog.
List 5 things about yourself.
Link 5 new recipients and notify them. So......here we go! 5 things about me........
1. I am addicted to PS3. There. I said it. I am deeply in love with Ratchet and Clank and Lon IS aware. (I think he might even be a little addicted himself...) Looking forward to R&C Future: A Crack in Time and Little Big Planet.
2. I love science fiction. I'm a huge nerd and I'm okay with that. I can't wait for Eureka (SyFy channel) to start back this summer.
3. I know Christine because we were in boot camp, Corps school and Field Medicine Service School together in the Navy. We trained with Marines, punished our livers, flirted shamelessly, and had an all-around blast in San Diego. We even got thrown out of a gay bar...don't know if I should be embarrassed or proud about that one! Love ya, girl! :)
4. I'm a bleeding heart. I cry at those Folgers commercials where the dude comes home from the military and makes coffee on Christmas morning. I cry at sad movies (yes, even the animated ones), sad TV shows and sometimes even sappy Internet news links. However, I think it's funny when an obnoxious child falls and starts crying. Weird, huh?
5. I'm in school to become a nurse, but I would love to build on what little artistic talent I have and paint, sculpt and photograph the world as I see it. Beautiful and rare...to be enjoyed and cherished. Lon thinks being a nurse will open up my artistic side even more...we'll see.

I hereby bestow the following fantastic blogs with the coveted 'When Life Hands You Lemons' Award...
The Artistic Traveler, for going to amazing places, soaking up all that she can and sharing those experiences with us. Thanks, Jennifer!
Jennifer Prince Gallery. Yes, this is for the same Jennifer, but her artwork is beautiful and real (and I'm secretly jealous of her talent!!!) Can't wait to come see the studio...
Hatched, for her honesty and fabulous writing. Tina makes me laugh and always has...she's a wonderful writer and a good friend. She makes the mundane and weird funny and entertaining. Always looking forward to what's next...
Type A Chronicles. Yes, I know she gave the award to me, but she deserves another one. Not only for her adorable private blog of her super handsome kid, G-man, but for persevering in the face of great personal difficulties. She is strong, loving, hilarious and a beautiful person.
*I don't follow many blogs, so I only have 4 awards to give out...oh well. I think my four are as good as five!

A sincere, heart-felt thank you goes out to my 3-4 dedicated followers. You guys are the best!
