Why Yes, I Am a Beautiful Mermaid and I Will Accept Your Award...

J from She's Country recently bestowed the Mermaid Splash Award upon me:

The rules are as follows:

1. Put the logo on your blog/post.

2. Nominate up to 9 blogs which allure, amuse, bewitch, impress or inspire you.

3. Be sure to link to your nominees within your post.

4. Let them know that they have been splashed by commenting on their blog.*

5. Remember to link to the person from whom your received your Splash award.

6. Have F~U~N

So, without further adieu, my nominees are as follows:

1. Molly from These Little Moments - her posts always amuse me, like this one about leggings.
2. saratogajean from Bad Mutha Fudruckers - her posts amuse, allure, bewitch and impress me. And her paint drawing skills for the blog? Incredible. Check out this hilarious post.
3. phishez of Sanity Optional. She doesn't post frequently, but when she does, it is always worth it.
4. Jennifer from Our Family Blog - because she is my SIL, funny as hell, and she blogs about my nephew. How could you resist a toddler that likes National Lampoon's Christmas?
5. Tammy from mandatorybloghere - what's not to love? She drunk decorates cookies and shoots houses around her neighborhood (my favorite feature!).
6. Dolce from La Dolce Vita - this girl cracked me up before she got pregnant. I was relieved to find nothing has changed since the baby - with a post entitled Don't Touch the Boob Bag, I think you would agree.
7. rachel of Confessions of a Jersey Girl - I have been reading rachel's blog for quite some time and have watched her go through ups and downs and so many events which is exactly why I am nominating her. Her life story is compelling and growing and you are able to watch it all unfold, no holds barred.
8. patricia of bloom where you're planted - I originally found patricia through her previous blog, Wags to Riches, and we became Twitter buddies. When she started a new blog, I made sure to follow. Her blog is full of pictures, random facts about her, stories and her new house! Also? How could I not love a woman whose favorite word is "albeit" because it is "four words in one"?
9. Catherinette at Bridget Jones Has Nothing On Me - I know if I ever need an immediate laugh or puke, I should head to her blog. She has the best TMI stories, a Just the Tip Tuesday feature that you should check out, and is generally awesome.

Do these gals a favor and check them out. You won't regret it!

*I pretty much broke this rule. I am just too lazy. You don't even want to know how long it took me to put together this post. It is embarrassing.
