Big, Giant Awards Post

As I continue on this slippery slope of blog-slackerdom, I feel the need to apologize to all the fabulous bloggers out there who have presented me with bloggy awards that I most certainly do not deserve. But thank you. In an attempt to catch up (and I know I'm going to forget someone here, so sorry in advance), I'm going to muster up a big, giant awards post.

From Wicked Steppie, the "Your Blog is Swank" award. Rad! The rules of this award? Simply pass it on...so, go check out the swank at Family in Bloom, What Remains Behind and Pretend Mommy.

Next Up: the "Honest Scrap" award from Megs7827. She just got married this weekend! Woot! Rules: tell 10 things about myself, then forward the award to ten bloggers. Erm, yeah, I'm a slacker, remember? I'm aiming for three for three...
About me: 1.) I'm addicted to NPR. So much so that even when they do their fund drives, I sit there and listen rather than change the station to commercial radio. 2.) I don't have TV. When they converted to digital, my husband and I decided not to get the converter box. We do watch movies via Netflix but we are wayyyyyy out of the loop when it comes to what's on TV. 3.) Sometimes people ask me if my (older) brother and I are identical twins. I'm not sure if this means I look like a man, he looks like a woman or people are just incredibly stupid.
And the award goes to: 1.) The Evil Step-mom??, 2.) Marsha 3.) Stepmomma. Check 'em out!

And finally, from Little Ms. Blogger, the "Fabulous Sugar Doll Blogger" award. Rules: 10 facts/10 bloggers. *Deep breath in.* EWO's new rules: 5 facts/2 bloggers!

1.) I lived in Epping, NSW, Australia for two years. I would go back there forever in a heartbeat.
2.) I make my own beer. Or at least I know how to; I haven't done it in a while.
3.) I have pretty big feet. As a result, I frequently run into transvestites and drag queens when shoe shopping. (I think I may have written this somewhere on my blog before, but I can't remember where...?)
4.) When I met my husband, he was in a punk rock band and had a mohawk. He now plays in an acoustic rock cover band and is bald. WTF?
5.) I once lived across the street from Richard Hatch, of Survivor fame.

And I hereby nominate the following Sugar Dolls:
1.) Pretty Girl and the Wicked Stepmother
2.) Courtney
