Meg over at Get In, Hang On was kind enough to post a little something for me, for the Queen, the Queen of Awesome.

How sweet is that? Huh? Huh? Huh? You’re  chewing your knuckle in jealousy. Don’t embarrass yourself by denying it. As with most things in life, there are a few itsy, bitsy hoops I need to jump through that go hand and hand with my new-found fame.

1. List Seven Things That Make You Awe-Summm!
2. Pass the award on to seven bloggers you read religiously. (Can an atheist be said to read anything religiously? )
3. Tag those seven bloggers.

And since I’m following in Meg’s footsteps and she likes to be different, I’m going to do it backwards, too. Here’s who I’m tagging…

• Athena Academy – She just packed up and moved to South Korea. She deserves an award for that alone.
• Becoming Sarah – She just shoved a whole, entire kid out of her tender bits… and blogged while in labor.
• Diary of a Not So Glamorous Housewife – We, the perfect wives and mothers, could SO be neighbors.
• I’m Just Saying – Not a homeschooling mom, but still pretty cool.  :-)  Daughter has freakishly uneven biceps.
• In Three Words – Brevity is best.
• Jumped the Ditch – I want to go along on her kids’ field trips!
• Jess Riley – If you aren’t following at least one writer, what ARE you putting in your feed reader?

I tried not tag anyone who had been tagged before. I didn’t even get out of the J’s. I have around 100 blogs in my feed reader so if I didn’t tag you here you’re in very good company.

So, now 7 things that make me awesome.

1. My son just (like 45 minutes ago, dude) ripped his entire little pinkie finger’s nail off and I didn’t freak out even a little bit.
2. I think, “I should do that…” and fairly often actually DO do it.
3. I would love my bike more than my car even if my car were a British Racing Green (with black roof and bonnet stripes) Mini Cooper.
4. I’m the one people go to when they want to confess something naughty; my brain is absolutely roiling with great stories.
5. I have pretty much figured out how to get flight-induced, migraine-tormented PL and me around the world without ever getting back on a plane again.
6. A reduced income is nothing to my budgeting skills.
7. Butter pecan ice cream shudders in fear at my approach.

You?
