An award & a guest post

Happy Tuesday! I want to take a minute for a few housekeeping items:

1) Big thanks to Gail at Squared Off for her "You Make Me Smile" award. In turn, I've awarded her five-year-old with the "Cutest Bloggie Award Ever Award". (Isn't it adorable? Its a picture of Gail.) She was probably the first person EVER to find my blog and still a loyal reader. Thanks Gail!!!

2) I'm guest posting today over at My Sweet Life for Kelsey who's on vacation!!! Click on over to read about my struggles with the local garbage collectors.
