Fab Friend Friday, Award Ceremony & New Blog To Share (passing it on!)!!

Grab a cup of coffee, tea or your fave soda and get ready! Lots going on with this one today.

First of all, it's FAB FRIENDS FRIDAY over at For The Love Of Blogs, where you can link up with them and find new blogs to read.





Now as I was going over to one of my good friend's pages to see what was up with her posts on BOTH of her blogs, I noticed that she gave me an {drum roll please}... An AWARD!

Thanks, Donna over at Write Now, Write Later!! Now, I must do these things to get the award..

1. Thank and link back to the person who awarded you this award
2. Share 7 things about yourself
3. Award 15 recently discovered great bloggers
4. Contact these bloggers and tell them about the award!

Haha! And I unknowingly already did the first one. Go me!!

My 7 things..

1) I have mild OCD.
2) I still listen to a lot of 80's and 90's music cuz today's is mostly crap.
3) I crave Subway subs around "that" time of the month and don't rest til I get it.
4) My Dad calls me his Rat. When I sign cards to him, I try to incorporate my second name.
5) I've been on anti-depressants in the past due to Clinical and Post-Partum Depression.
6) There is such a fear in me of spiders, I refuse to get in the shower even if it's TINY.
7) Sometimes I think my name should be "Cinderella".

Now, I also have a NEW BLOG UP!! It will be where I chronicle my life as a mom with a child with "Silent" Disabilities, what his life is like with having multiple mental disorders and life in general as a family and out in the community.

I don't have a blog button for it, seeing as I suck at doing those. But here is the link to the VERY FIRST post on the page (there's two others already as well for you to read)... The "Mental"-ist Mom. I urge EVERYONE here that stops in to join it and see what life is TRULY like for him and other kids like him. And for us parents of kids in his shoes.

One last thing... BEFORE YOU LEAVE HERE!!... Feel free to LINK UP (below) seeing as it's a 'blog hop' day and I like helping FTLOB out, and my fellow writers. READ BELOW FIRST *BEFORE* linking.. And have a great weekend.

The *ONLY* stipulation I have is to please LEAVE A *GENUINE* COMMENT here on my page to show that you have read it. Not a copy/paste thing or a "I followed you/follow me back" comment... I am okay with people stating if they came from another blog hop and found me. But I don't play the "followed you/follow me back" game.

**If you cannot abide by that one simple rule for linking on my page, I wish for you to NOT link it at all, nor even leave a COMMENT on my page.

If *anyone* is caught breaking the rules for MY BLOG PAGE and the way I wish to run MY blog hop/link up, then the comment and/or blog link and button will be DELETED.

I hope you understand. Thanks.. Now get hopping and linking, everyone!
