Welcome to Awards Sunday.

Just kidding...I am wearing that next weekend to a holiday bash. This is my frock of choice. Oh, its pretty.

Shall we fetch something good to drink and get down to business? Let us recognize some great people who have donned my mantle with some new awards:

Big thanks to Kys, Jenni at Sincerely,Jenni, April at CrazyLittleThingCalledLife and Tami at Hearts Make Families for the Best Blog Award. I appreciate all of you thinking of me.
VodkaLogic shared the Dragon Loyalty Award with me. Right back at you VL! And Sharon at Bookish Blonde gave me the Premium Meme Award. With this comes 5 things I love in 5 categories. Thank you Sharon.

To combine elements, I am going to do all of the category awards into one Honest Scrap. And here are Ten Things You Don't Know About Me:
1. My favorite candy bar: Vosges Goji Berry. Heaven. Vosges Haute Chocolat...thank me later for introducing you.
2. Last concert: Ray Lamontagne Acoustic at Fox Theater in Atlanta. In-cred-i-ble.
3. First car: '67 Mustang (well, actually it was a "tricked out" yellow and black Baja VW my Father gave me but that's a bratty story and I didn't drive it long.)
4. Last meal: At a gorgeous new restaurant in Atlanta called 4th and Swift last night.
5. Favorite holiday song: Sinead O'Connor's version of Silent Night.
6. I was once asked to address a friend's wedding invitations. She likes my handwriting so I said, Of course. There seemed to be hundreds of invitations and I apparently needed a break when after handing her a huge stack she brought one back to me. The one for my parents. In which, in over-zealous interest in getting them all done in one day, I had misspelled BOTH of my parents names on their invite. Nice.
7. I didn't learn to really cook until several years after I was out of graduate school.
8. The first time I ever went fishing was off the coast of Alaska. I don't truly enjoy fishing but the experience was incredible.
9. Seeing people suffering at the holidays (or anytime of year) is heartbreaking to me. Give give give to charity!
10. I love music and have over 2100 songs on my iPod. Everything from Italian opera to The Ramones.
Now, before I go further, I want you to go and visit these blogs above. Diverse, interesting, and able to keep you from getting other things done. And I am giving each of them the Remarkable Reader Award I got from Leigh. So: Jade LD, April, Tami, Tami, VodkaLogic, Jenni, Kys, Sharon, Holly & Charisse, Nicole, Liz, and Savage: Enjoy.
This by no means excludes so many other great bloggers I know. Thank you all for the awards, the comments, and for reading. Part II coming soon.

#9 totally. So sad. #1? Never heard of it but OMG sounds freakin incredible!!!
I love this blog, great style and sense of humor.
BTW, in some respects The Ramones WERE Italian opera.
I, too, have never heard of that candy bar! I must find one! Congrats on all your awards! You rock!
Congratulations to you on your bazillion awards, and to all the recipients! I love Ray Lamontagne, too. Can't wait to check out these other blogs I'm just hearing about.
Wow, Congratulations. I must listen to the Silent Night...favorite carol of mine.
The candy bar is out of my league I'm sure!! Thanks for the heads up on these blogs; thank you for more ways to keep from doing things I honestly don't want to. But should. :)
Two Sunday's devoted to awards! Awesome.
Congratulations on the awards and thank you for mine.
You are an inspirtation.. I think I have said that before.
I will certainly keep an eye out for that candy bar.
Someday I would love to compare ipod playlists with you.
xx
I have three or four awards I need to acknowledge but I've forgotten what and from who. Bad me. Well, I was preoccupied getting the last job done and forgot to write them down.
This is very cute. Great job on getting and receiving today.
I will go check them out...for I am avoiding eye contact with my laundry today.
Congrats on getting the awards JM. You are one of the bloggers that many aspire to, so all are deserved. Now watch your head inflate biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiig time.
That's some mega blog love sweet friend! Congrats on all the awards and I loved getting to know a bit more about you. THANK YOU for your words in #9...I couldn't agree with you more!
Love and hugs,
Karyn
Your mantle sure is bulging!! :)
I'm terrible at spelling people's names - I worked as a secretary once at Dundee university and was asked to dictate a letter to the University Principal. I called him the Principle. Oops.
"7. I didn't learn to really cook until several years after I was out of graduate school."
Me too. I lived on toast and takeout during law school. Now I love cooking!
Congratulations on your beautiful awards!!!
YAY you!
Great job, as usual.
By the way, you know I re did the entire batch.
yah. All 7 dozen.
Congrats to you JM!!! You Rock lady!

Congrats on your awards and thanks for passing one of them along to me! I hope you are having a wonderful day.
PS I wanted to make Bjork's dress for Halloween this year and never got around to it. Maybe next year.
So many people recognize your talents. Your reputation precedes you.
Congratulations!
Congrats on the awards! The first time I ever fished was in Alaska too!
Love your blog.....always glad that I stopped...I am so happy to have a few hours to catch up on blogs...I am finally finished with trees. New pictures are up on the Christmas blog!
http://grammyababychangeseverything.blogspot.com/ then
read about a miracle and forward on to anyone that is feeling hopeless....Christmas is the season of miracles..
Congrats! Well earned!
Congratulations!!! I am going to go look up that Silent Night version on iTunes!
You deserve every award you get : )
People suffering at this time of year breaks my heart also. I just can't take it. And it is so FREEZING outside. I hate to think of anyone without warmth!
Congratulations on all your wonderful awards. Happy Holidays.
I think you could pull off the Swan dress! Great awards and great blogs. I think my teenage son might rival you in the amount and diversity of music. I want to do a cruise to my birthplace, (Alaska), but husband says he hasn't been out of the Navy long enough to step foot willingly on a ship.
WoWzErS!!! That's a lot of bling hun. CONGRATULATIONS on all of it...you deserve it :)
.....HOT SHOT.....
Every time I read your blog I end up feeling like I have actually been to a wonderful cocktail party and met some very interesting people. Love you, Jenny Mac!
Congratulations on the bloggy love. May I add a goat hug to the pile?
Congrats on all of your awards! So glad to hear that you weren't wearing that top dress!!!!
Great job! I'm a huge SJP fan and that frock is one of my fav's.
:)
Oh I wore the dress last week... wait... no, I hung out in my PJ's .. carry on!
Nice awards!! Congrats!! (coming from SITS)
Nice dress, Bjork.
Enjoyed the random list of factoids about you.
Congrats on all the well deserved love tributes, JM!
Geez, it's too bad no one reads your blog or enjoys what you write! What does your therapist have to say is the best way for you to cope?
I think you should post about it. ;)
Congrats on your awards :) I must download that Silent Night version- never heard it!
Congrats - and you get an "A" for style!
I love that SJP dress, that would be my choice too!
There's a Part II to the awards? Girl, you are one decorated lady!
Definitely go for the second dress. The first one...well...you might get mistaken for Big Bird's mama. :)
Congratulations! Enjoy your awards. By the way, can you send me a candy bar???
Thanks, JennyMac...I am always in awe that you even read my blog, much less award me with anything! You are big, girl, BIG! =) I'll buy you a Grey Goose martini anytime...
Love the award...and I love coming here to visit. Thank you so much for the shout out and the blog bling. LOVE IT! Holly
Awwww, you're blogoliscious! I'm glad to know that you're wearing the swan dress next weekend. I'll be sure not to wear mine. How embarrassing if we showed up at the same holiday bash in the same dress!
Congrats on all of your well-deserved awards, JennyMac!

Congrats on all your awards! You so deserve them. I love your blog. Thank you so much for mine. I truly appreciate it. I am so very honored.
LOL misspelling your own parents name, that is so something I would pull!
Congrats on all the awards!
Congratulations on all your awards! Very well deserved indeed!! ;) Happy Tuesday and have a great day!
Congratulations on your awards!
Good for you! Although, I am not one bit surprised! ;)
