Jamie says my blog is fabulous...and what Jamie says goes. I've learned the hard way.

The coveted "Your Blog is Fabulous!" award.

Thank you Jamie, for awarding me this most highly esteemed award. I feel special. And a little guilty for copying your exact blog post.

Ok, here are the rules about this award:

Firstly - I must list 5 of my fabulous addictions:
1. Working out-Mainly cardio type things.
2. Reading-Mainly buying them first, which makes Jared mad.
3. Making Jared mad-Mainly for buying books all the time.
4. Sweets-Mainly chocolate.
5. Biggest Loser-I really can't believe it. I could look at everyone's before and after pictures every day and feel totally inspired every time.

Secondly - I must pass this award on to 5 other fabulous blogs:
I am awarding this to people who I find inspiring, entertaining, or just flat out hilarious.

Brian - It's inspiring that someone in Brian's mental state can formulate so many words together to almost make sense. Plus Jared secretly has a man crush on Brian. But don't worry Brian, he's read your blog and knows where you stand.

Katie and Joey - I like to see Luke, he's a funny little boy, just like his mom and dad. Plus Jared openly has a huge man crush on Joey.

Tiffany Simmons - Tiffany is VERY on top of things and I'm pretty sure she has a camera glued to her wrist.

Lindsey H - I like Lindsey's art. It's really amazing.

John and Misa - It's always an adventure...kinda like watching E.R. but in real life...and a bit more cat drama.

Congratulations, one and all!

Thirdly - I must post the rules:
