Current Mood: Happy

So, my pal Big Binder has nominated me for the Nice Matters Award. I am really flattered and honored to recieve such an award! The question now comes….to whom do I pass the award onto, as I need to pick only 2 of my many nice friends out of both real life & the blog world. I have tons of nice friends out there, and just because I didn’t nominate you doesn’t mean you’re not loved by me…..because you are!

I would like to nominate The Artistic Pursuit of Life on Earth as my first choice. He is a dear friend, the friend that actually introduced me to my darling cynical husband. I’ve been friends with him in real life for 13 years now, and he’s a pretty nice guy. We were even roommates in college for a year and a half. I also want to nominate him for his recent rediscovery of finding himself in his art once again. I can only hope that one day I’ll rediscover what I want to do with my life (besides being a mom). Check out his art work, it’s for sale, and it’s pretty cool!

My second nomination goes to Why Mommy at Toddler Planet. I do not know Why Mommy personally, but I’ve been following her difficult path in life for about a month and a half now. She is a very brave woman going through Inflammatory Breast Cancer. I have posted her previous post before, but I would like to do it again as it is important to get the word out about Inflammatory Breast Cancer. This wonderful woman was a Scientist before becoming a mom to 2 great kids. She strives to balance her life as a mom while dealing with the daily rigamorals of chemo & cancer, and trying to find herself in the science world.
