Meme and Awards

My jr high, high school, college and lifelong friend, Jodi, has started a blog and she has tagged me for "The Fantastic Four Meme". Head on over and say hi to her from me.

The rules to play the Fantastic Four Meme are simple:

Copy/paste the questions into your blog
Type in your answers
Tag four people on your list
Don’t forget to change the answers to your own!

FOUR PLACES I GO OVER AND OVER AND OVER:
WalMart
Shed (to do laundry - John goes after dark :)
On my walk
Church

FOUR PEOPLE WHO EMAIL/IM ME REGULARLY:
My Sisters and Mom
Hi-D
Facebook notices
Blogger notices

FOUR PLACES I LIKE TO EAT:
Taco Bell (seriously)
Pasghetti's
Starbuck's (coffee IS food, people, but only in the winter :)
With my family

FOUR PLACES I’D RATHER BE RIGHT NOW:
In a house
In a house
In a house
In a house
(only because one of those winter storms that I don't like is outside and it is supposed to be 26 overnight)

FOUR TV SHOWS I COULD WATCH OVER AND OVER:
Survivor (the only one I watch regularly now)

I tag YOU!

A few weeks back, I received an award from sweet Susan at Penless Writer. She has started the "Hearts in 1 Accord" prayer blog. If you are interested in praying, please click on the button on my left sidebar and email Susan to be a part of it.

Finally, I also received this very nice award from my bloggy friend Kristin at Loving Life. Kristin always has a great attitude, wonderful tips for the kitchen and a beautiful new house that she and her husband built themselves.

This is the Lemonade Award and it is given for great attitude or gratitude. I thought of it also as being able to take Lemons and Make Lemonade. I am only accepting this if it is Turkey Hill Lemonade :) Just kidding!

I want to pass this one along to:
1. Susan - I know you received it from someone else before I sent it, but I am sending it anyway because I think you have a wonderful outlook on life. Watching you go through Mickey's heart issues with such faith, grace, patience, and even humor was definitely some mighty fine lemonade.
2. Paige at New Mercies. Her faith has carried her through some difficulties in this past year.
3. Ginger at Just a Thought. I always enjoy reading her blog - she has a wonderful sense of humor, a realness about her and she reminds me a LOT of my best friend's Mom. Although I am not always great at commenting, I do enjoy her perspective even when she is going through troubled times.
