Celebrate Monday


Here we are again at Monday and it’s time to celebrate ourselves. Tell us something good that happened to you. Something that made you happy. Something that you did that made you feel good.

It doesn’t have to be big news or anything earth shattering. Small is good, too.

I’ll start. Shelley over at Stories in the Ordinary gave me this Sweet Blog Award. I’m not normally a big fan of cute, but when I saw this, I fell in love with it. It’s just so cute. And Shelley gave it to me. That makes me happy. And it also makes me happy to pass this award on to some really deserving bloggers:

Anne at Piedmont Writer
Jen at unedited
Laurel at Laurel’s Leaves
Crystal at write because you must
and Lilah Pierce

And the contest for today is Steena and Stina's celebration of followers. Click here to check it out. The blogfest is KM's Man I Love College Blogfest. It's a blogfest and contest in one. So go on over and check it out.

Also, Kristi Cook is celebrating The Big 50 for followers. Go on over and celebrate with her.

Now that that’s taken care of, come on folks. Share with us and celebrate yourselves.

  1. Welcome back, how was the wedding? Did you have fun? Did you dance? Did you bring me cake? LOL

    Thank you for the award. Congratulations to you.

    I finished putting up the fence posts and cementing them in. I also wrote Tony's backstory. Wait til you see.

    Glad you're back.:)

  2. I had a great weekend - caught up with a friend, did reiki, ate good food, drank nice wine, browsed antiques in the sun. :)

    Congratulations all on the awards!

  6. The teddy one is sooo cute! Congrats on your award, Sarah!

    I'm celebrating with a contest. Okay, it's not a contest to celebrate Monday and the fact my kids are back to school so I can work on my wip, but maybe it should be. :)

  7. My baby turned 2 yesterday, and I just love birthdays. The cake, the look on her face at all the balloons and banners. Opening the presents and realizing it's all hers (she's the youngest of three, so doesn't get many new things that are just hers). We also went to a butterfly show at the conservatory, which was just awesome.

  8. We got to tell our kids we'll be spending the summer in FL: going to Disney, Universal, Sea World, the beach, etc. They were ecstatic :)

    Congrats on your award.

  9. I had the most fun teaching a class on Sunday. What could have been another boring meeting was spiced up with four ladies sharing their experiences but me cutting them off at major cliff hangers and then they shared the end results at the end of the meeting. We have a lot of tears and laughs. A lot of fun.

    Congrats on your award!

  14. My flash fiction that got accepted to LitNImage last December finally went live over the weekend. This makes me happy to the point of adding additional whisky to my coffee this morning.

    Congrats on the award, good lady. :)

  15. Welcome back. Hope you had a great time!

    I'm celebrating not having to work today and am about to get up and walk to the local coffee spot so that I can either update my new blog (oops, I did it again) or try to organize that pesky, confusing piece of literature I've been trying to write.

    Wish me well!

  29. How was the wedding? The weather in Chicago?

    CONGRATS on the award! Well deserved, of course. Because you ARE full of win!

    Hmmm...Husband and I mulched the front beds and trees, and planted some annuals. I got some of the revisions done (not the dreaded research part...I'm still being bad). I feel good about getting stuff done.

    Happy Monday, SJS! :o)
    Love,
    Lola

  39. Thanks for this cute award! I do feel like curling up with a cuddly bear this yucky week! Spent most of the day yesterday dealing with hate mail. Being an editor can be *such fun* sometimes.
