You can thank me for that brain worm in about three hours.
Blog Awards/tags are so wonderful because it’s a great way to share sites with others. Todays post will be a three part-er; and I will be fudging on the “rules” abit (scandalous!).
Part A:
A former stand-up comedian finds me funny! (I’m taking that as a good thing, please don’t burst my bubble…) A new blog-friend has passed the ABC Award my way. If you have not come across Stacy over at From Nonsense to Momsense, I highly suggest you take the time to peruse afew of her posts. She has passed the ABC award my way; which requires I reveal facts about myself in alphabetical order (deep breath….)
Adorable (this is fun!), Brazen, Cat-lover, Dog-lover, Embellished, Fearless, Great cook, Harbinger, Idealistic, “J”, Kick-ass, Libra, M &Ms, Nomadic-Wannabe, Organized, Parody of my former self, Queen bee, Recipe-collector, Serial Killer (just checking!), Tattooed, Uncensored, Versatile (see part B), Wayward, X-Men Fan, Y not?, Zealous.
Whew!
Now I get to pass this on. This is the perfect way share (cue Julie Andrews, Ms. Julie Andrews to stage left!) “…a few of my favorite things” with everyone:
1. Cassie Behle
Part B:
Susan at Su’s Art and Food, a blogger I have been reading for quite some time, has passed on the Versatile Blogger Award. I have tried many of her wonderful recipes, and she always has a great story to tell with each one. Part of this requires I reveal facts about myself, but ‘m going to be eco-friendly and recycle these. Next is paying it forward. For this, I’d like to give mention to some blogs I’ve come across recently.
Y’know, as a way to say “Hi, I’m watching you….” but not in a creepy, stalker-ish kind of way.
1. Girl in the Cat Framed Glasses
3. Bethylicious
Part C:
And last but certainly not least is another new bloggy friend. Megan yields quite a powerful pen (& camera). Wth her “what not to wear” photos, she inspired me to clean out my closet! I have passed on the ABC Award to her above, but not before she sent the Sunshine award my way. So check her out, and take a gander at the sites I’m passing abit of Sunshine to:
5. Good Humored
This should provide much weekend reading; don’t worry, no quiz on Monday !

Well, hey there! Congrats on winning the ABC Award! You little go-getter, you. For what you have cleverly done for letters D and C, I would now like to see you list an animal you are a lover of (not in THAT way, gross) for each letter of the alphabet. 😉 Yes?
MJ, Nonstepmom said:
ok, I’m up for a weekend project ! Cant wait to see what you come up with……
cassiebehle said:
Might have to wait until next week, but I will get it out there! (I have some ranting to do on my latest “haircut” this week…)
MJ, Nonstepmom said:
Even better !
sandylikeabeach said:
Congrats on the awards and thanks for the shout out!
MJ, Nonstepmom said:
It’s a well-deserved one !
Everyday Mom Style (@EverydayMomStyl) said:
You are too sweet- and very kind with your description of my blog. Thank you so much for that!
I think we have a mutual blog-love-affair!
MJ, Nonstepmom said:
Yes, “Blog-love” sounds better than “blogs I love & wish I had thought of first!”. I guess I can no longer be upset at teen son for having XBox “friends” in Ireland and China he plays against but has never met…He’ll never let me live it down if he finds out I have Blog friends!
Bethylicious said:
Oh I love these award things so much. It’s great to recognize my favorite bloggers 😀 And I’m all flattered to have been mentioned in yours. I may or may not be doing a little happy dance right now. My son just asked me if I have to pee so I’m thinking it doesn’t look very much like a “happy” dance Lol
MJ, Nonstepmom said:
You need to post a video of that happy dance !!!! Every time I read a post of one of these awards I always find another blog I like…who needs TV !
jeandayfriday said:
I can’t thank you enough for the ABC award! And congrats on all of you fabulous awards! 🙂 You made my day so much brighter!
MJ, Nonstepmom said:
Well deserved, I soooo enjoy reading !
jeandayfriday said:
And I love your blog! 🙂

The Jackson 5! That brain worm ate away until it found where that song had been stuffed…Congratulations on the awards, and thanks for chucking one my way!
MJ, Nonstepmom said:
You’re most welcome, I really get a kick from your perspective !
susartandfood said:
Good Lord, you’ve hit the main vein. Congratulations. You always do so well on your blog – well deserved. Thank you so much for sending the Sunshine Award my way as well. I will pass it along the line to five well deserving sites. Have a great day!
MJ, Nonstepmom said:
II thought it was a fitting award for all your recipes !
I was thinking you guys all know each other and decided to see if you could confuse me …..( it worked).
Stacy Dymalski said:
See? I’m not the only one who thinks your blog is peachy keen! Congrats on all the blogging awards. You certainly deserve them!
Also thanks for sending Everyday Mom Style my way. I checked out her blog and love it! Already forwarded her link to several girlfriends of mine who can use her help.
MJ, Nonstepmom said:
Thanks Stacy !
& your welcome. I don’t remember how I came across Megan’s blog, but she had on my favorite jean skirt that day – I was hooked. That’s what I love about awards and comments….following them to more blogs!
philosophermouseofthehedge said:
Congrats and well deserve ( Now I will be humming the Jackson Five’s “ABC it’s as easy as 1,2,3,…”song in your honor…and the rest of the day, too probably…darn)
MJ, Nonstepmom said:
Thanks ! That song came up on my Pandora “oldies” channel that morning & was still in my head, so I was feeling sassy & passed it on !
Tiffany (lifewithblondie) said:
I think it’s funny that I am a fan of exactly one blog from each of your lists! (Jean Day, Struggler’s Handbook, and Becoming Cliche) Now that I know you have great taste in blogs, I will have to check out all the others you linked too… 🙂
