Three Things Thursday

1. I have been pretty lucky in the blog world lately! I won a Road ID in the Jelly Bean Virtual Race from Run with Jess, a cute hair clip from Amy, and last weekend a magazine subscription from Alissa. (THANK YOU SO MUCH LADIES.) My husband commented about how lucky I had been, and I told him it was so Exciting and that I would LOVE to win Jen's latest giveaway. (Back story...I love Justin's Nut Butter, and have even talked about it on my blog...but I generally just call it peanut butter when chatting with the hubby...) He asked about the giveaway and told him it was for some nut butter. His eyes got really huge and he said," What the hell is she giving away!?! " LOL I totally cracked up, then he was laughing, and well...it was a really hilarious afternoon. ( I know we were acting like a bunch of teenage boys!!!, and I hope I didn't offend anyone by sharing this story, but even typing this I have been cracking up again!)

2. Today I starred in a music video :) (I hope to share it with you guys soon! ) PS...I can't carry a tune to save my life...but I will do anything to get kids excited about reading....even rewriting a Ke$ha song!

3. When I got home this afternoon and started catching up on blogs, I was THRILLED to see that Amy had chosen me for the Honest and Real Blogger Award. I literally squealed and clapped my hands causing Humphrey and Tommy to wonder what was going on...so I read them the sweet things Amy had said about my blog. I know most of you know Amy, but if you don't head over to her blog...she has some awesome things going on in her life now...including starting a running program! I can't wait to continue to see the cool changes she is making to make this HER YEAR!!!
I want to pass this award on to Joy at Nuggets of Truth. Joy is completely honest about the ups and downs of her journey...and I love her mantra "STAY FOCUSED!" She is working hard and she needs all the encouragement we can give her!

  3. I can't even imagine what your husband was thinking when you told him about the nut butter prize. That is so very funny.
