I’ve been surprised and honored to receive some very kind (though I’m not sure deserved) awards for ye ol’ blog here. On behalf of myself and the Jackster I’d like to give hearty thanks. Uh-oh here comes the ugly cry.
The first was the Over The Top award from Christine from over at The Happily Ever After.
The Over The Top Award is given to blogging friends whose blogs you consider over the top, in a complimentary way, of course. As in, they are "far more than usual or expected; extraordinary."
Now receiving this award tell me I need to go even further to be a little more Over The Top. Look out world I’m coming for ya! Thanks so much Christine. You can visit Christine here.

Jax’s Artistic Journey
Now the fun doesn’t stop there I received yet another award. Man, you’d think I starred in Precious or at least Avatar and was painted blue with all the awards.
I received a Beautiful Blogger award from Tia at Stoic which is a super cool blog that you really need to check out. Beautiful? Wow. Look at me blushing.
Now of course all things come with a little catch and you have to pay in order to play so here are the rules behind the award:
1. Thank & link to the person that gave you the award
Thanks so much Tia. You really are the fairest of them all. Link here.
2. Pass this award onto 15 bloggers you’ve recently discovered & think are fantastic.
15? I agree with Tia. These folks are not playing around but ok. Check out these cool peeps. Some may be a bit older than the rest but you won’t be sorry. Click away:
3. Contact said Blogs & let them know they've won
Uh, don’t they have Google alerts for that? Sigh ok.
4. State 7 things about yourself
Come on. You people must be bored with me by now. Sorry if I repeat myself:
1. I can’t walk in heels. My feet instantly hurt. I wish I could though.
2. I usually have at least one twin pissed at me. Ugh. Parenting sucks.
3. I really love shrimp. Wish I had some right now.
4. I adore a good bath. I’d like a nice hot bath at having a nice plate of shrimp.
5. Throw some pasta with those shrimp and I’d be extra happy
6. Put it all in Italy and make my day. I really want to go there one day.
7. Maybe on a book trip?
Whew. I made it. Thanks for reading and playing along. At least I hope you do. I really am honored to be thought of and so grateful to all of you who stop on my and hang with me every day.
Best,
Kwana

Why Thank you Kwana. You deserve these awards. I hope you're doing well on your sweet-free journey. Today I'm down to my third dessert prep.............this is not easy!

I think YOU'RE fantastic so coming from you it really is an honor.
Sorry I've been such an ingrate by not coming over sooner (what kind of winning attitude is THAT?! ;-) but I am so stressed at work and aggressively out interviewing (though can't write about that on my blog, lest I get dooced!) and it's taking up all of my energy and brain cells lately. I feel I need to issue apologies to each of my bloggy friends...is there a 12-step program for such a thing?!
Thank you for definitely being the ray of sunshine in my week...I totally needed that!
xo, Laura
What? Your TV really has a turn dial?! No way.
Congrats on your awards and to your recipients, too!
