The Liebster Award

 

So back in October, Jimmy of Founding A Father awarded me the Liebster award. And even further back in August, Pippi of Pesky Pippi also awarded me the Liebster award.

I think it is for my witty repartee or my amusing self-depreciation. I believe we can all agree it is not for my timeliness! *Ahem.*

Anyway, if you are not following these two people, well, you need to get on that! They are some funny people and I assure you will enjoy each blog post.
