Queeeens of Awe-summm

Ok I'm a slacker. I (Rose) was supposed to publish this after I filled it in. Well, I filled it in last week and forgot! So here is Jill's post from 5/15/09!

Last night when I got off work I went over to Rose's house for a visit with her and the family. I picked a great night to go over because I got to see Rose's sister and brother and law's new place. Well, it isn't new...but they are moving across the road into a place and I'm very excited for them!!

While I was there Rose asked if I would help her clean out her closets. I agreed and it's a good thing I did! I left there with massive amounts of clothes that Rose no longer wears. Thank God my best friend is the same size on top as I am!!! I probably walked out with 25 shirts! Thanks Rose. Love ya!!

And if all that wasn't enough to make me happy, Rose and I got an award!!!!! I have to admit, this awards is amazing! It's all sparkley and pretty, plus I love the vintage looking image. The award and the girls who gave it to us are exactly what the award is for...Awe-Summm-ness!!

Lil' Woman and Gina at Namaste by Day both gave us this award! Thanks to you both!!!!

So, for us to be considered the Queens of Awe-Summm-ness we have to do some stuff...

1. List 7 things that make me Awe-Summm.

2. Pass the award onto 7 bloggers that I love

3. Tag those bloggers to let them know they are now Queens too (and link back to the Queen who tagged you)

Jill:

1. I'm obsessed with George Washington. I know, many people wouldn't consider this to be "Awe-summm" but I do. Ask me a question about him and chances are I'll know it! Love me some GW.

2. I have recently become a domestic goddess. Baking, cleaning, sewing, anything you would think Martha Stewart would be doing, I'm doing. It's crazy, but awe-summm!

3. I play video games -and- like it. Awe-summm...I know.

4. I love camping and kayaking. I'm seriously looking into buying a kayak. Now, I'm not talking kayaking as in doing all the rapids and waterfall shit, I'm just talking about lazily floating down a river, stopping frequently for cigarette breaks. I could seriously camp/kayak every weekend and never get tired of it. Awe-summme

5. I finally re-taught myself how to do a cartwheel. Awe-summm, for real though. I mean, it took me hours to re-teach myself how to do this. Those f'n cartwheels are hard to do!!!

6. I've seen more dead bodies than most people will ever see in their entire life. I consider this awe-summm, but morbid at the same time. My dad is a coroner. I've been helping him do stuff around his labs my entire life...don't worry, I never actually do anything with the cadaver, I just work around them when helping him.

7. I still play bassoon in a concert band. Most people in band stop after high school, or for some college. But not me. I'm die-hard all about some concert band. Whoo!


Rose:

1. Did you see where I gave lots of clothes to Jill? Yeah, I gave her stuff I still wear (like my baby blue cardigan) because she is my best friend and I know she has wanted it for a long time. Yeah, that makes me awe-summmm

2. I am horrible at actually washing my clothing. Like to the point I had so much that I couldn't grasp where to start. The reason I gave the stuff to Rose last night is my Mom decided to help me out and wash all my laundry. Over 30 loads. There were things that I haven't seen in two years. What is awe-summm is that I have over 70 pairs of socks. Whenever I ran out I would just buy some. You might call it patethic, I call it awe-sum (and just for the record, I'm keeping up with it now!)

3. I'm a bookworm. But what is awe-sum is that I read in paragraphs, not lines. I had an IQ test when I was in 4th grade and that's what the shrink who administered it said. I guess that means I can read large blocks at a time.

4. I could read books by the time I was 2. Awe-sum.

5. My birthday sometimes falls on Labor Day. Hello, National Holiday: Rose's birthday! (It's September 1st if you want to send me gifts)

6. I taught my Mom her new favorite phrase, "Fuck-Tard." How awe-sum is that? She calls people Fuck-tards all the time now. AMAZING.

7. I know how to ballroom dance, square dance and clog. Ok, that was a lie because i couldn't think of anything else. How about this: I am an awe-summ liar. Well, that's not true either. I'm actually a horrible liar so I'm an awe-summly honest person?


Ok, we're not passing it on. We love you all and think you're all queens!! So if you want it, you deserve it!

kreative blogger, what?

Thank you Gwen for the award! We just love your blog so much!

Rules:
List five things about yourself that YOU think makes you SEXY!

Rose: So, this is pretty hard. I’m looking at myself and trying to figure out what is sexy. I think I’m more cute than sexy.
1. My cleavage, depending on the shirt though. Sometimes the girls hang out wayyyy too much.
2. My lips. They are full and luscious.
3. I’ve had lots of comments from my clients saying I have a sexy voice. I get this one: “You sound sexier and sexier each time I talk to you.”
4. When my hair is straight.
5. I have great legs. They are very toned and I don’t even work on them. My little brother even complimented them the other day.


Jill: I don't consider myself sexy...but I'll play along.
1. I play hard to get without realizing I'm doing it. Which explains why guys who I don't like end up head over heels for me.
2. My voice...I talk a lot on the phone at work...my claimants are always telling me that I have a nice voice. I actually had one guy tell me that I was on speakerphone and his friend (who was listening) thought I had a "sexy" voice. He also wanted my phone number so he could call and hear my voice, or listen to my voicemail repeatedly...creepy.
3. When I walk I look around. I don't look down at the ground or try not to look at people. When I walk I look at the people and things surrounding me. I think it shows confidence, which is sexy.
4. Since my body is most definitely NOT sexy, I'll go with the tattoo on my side. I think it's sexy. If you don't, sorry 'bout your luck.
5. The way I dress. I don't dress provacatively, unless I'm trying to get free drinks. But I dress the way I want. Sometimes I don't match, and I'm always wearing something that makes you go "hmm" but if I found a guy whose style resembled mine, I'd go for him.




Rules:
List 7 things you do on a regular basis that could become an addiction.

Rose:
1. Water. I drink water like it’s my job
2. Coffee. I’ve tried to limit myself to one travel mug a day because if not I have a major caffeine meltdown in the afternoon.
3. Wikipedia and Google. It’s unhealthy the amount of things I look up.
4. The news. I’m obsessed with the news. I check AOL, MSN, Yahoo, MSNBC, and Fox news at least 3 times a day.
5. Text messaging. I would rather text than talk on the phone any day.
6. Sleeping. I seriously cannot sleep enough. I can wake up, tool around for half an hour and go back to sleep for a 3 hour nap.
7. Lipstuff. I love having smooth lips. Lipstick, lipgloss, chapstick. You name it, I love it.


Jill:
1. Smoking cigarettes.
2. Drinking Diet Coke.
3. Drinking McDonald's sweet tea.
4. Sleeping. I sleep less than the average person. This is an addiction. It's almost like a contest with myself to see how long I can stay up and how early I can get up.
5. Being lazy. Every night after work I sit on my couch watching TV. That's seriously all I do. I might get up to fix myself something for dinner, but that's only if I'm really hungry.
6. Facebook. Self-explanatory.
7. Driving. I drive 40 minutes to work and 40 minutes home. I also tend to drive a lot during the weekends, whether I'm driving or one of my roommates is, I'm on the road a lot.




So, I (Jill) took like 9 years of the Espanol. However, I can't speak, write or understand a word of it. So uhm. If any of you out there speak it let us know what this award means. Something about cool...I don't know.

Anyway, Thanks Melissa for these awards!

Because we are writing this at work, and we have to be careful about the time we spend on here...If you are reading this and consider yourself to be sexy, addictive or cool, consider yourself tagged!
Congrats!

1. KT
2. Anne
3. Lil' Woman

Third time is a charm...

Thank you Bee and E at Sex and Two Single Girls for our third award! We especially like this one because it doesn't ask you to answer any questions or tag people (and it considers us beautiful)...However, We're willing to do pretty much anything for an award!

Thanks again!


We would have given this award to some other Beautiful Bloggers...but both of our computers are pieces of shit and won't let us do anymore hyperlinks right now... Oh well. If you are reading this consider the award yours. Congrats!!

We would like to thank...

*PinkNic* for giving us the Honest Scrap Award, our second award ever!!

So we are pretty excited about this award...Two awards in one week! Is that kind of like "Killing two birds with one stone"?

Because we received this award we now get the privilege of sharing some stuff about ourselves -and- we get to give 7 people who we think deserve the award. Here goes nothing!

1. List 7 honest things about yourself.

Jill-

1. I LOVE shoes and purses.

2. I want to play tambourine in a rock band.

3. My grandma was born and raised in Leitchfield, England.

4. I want to go back to Bonnaroo this year, I've been twice.

5. I once dyed my hair blonde. Bad idea.

6. Satin sheets give me the creeps.

7. When I decide to have kids, I want twins right off the bat...so I only have to go through pregnancy once. I'm selfish...I know.

Rose-

1. I could drink non-fat vanilla chai lattes all day, every day.

2. I haven't drank soda (or pop, whatever you call it) in almost two years. It hurts my chest to drink it now.

3. I'm a bookworm. Ture story, I have two full bookshelves (8 shelves total)

4. Sam gave me a yorkie for my birthday last year. She had really bad separation anxiety and barked and cried 24/7. She now lives with Sam and his dog (she's a lot better now).

5. Sunflowers are my favorite, followed closely by daisies.

6. I still have my baby blanket. I took it to college with me and sleep with it every night (but I don't need it to sleep).

7. Jill and I worked in a coffee shop one year in college. We started smoking that year... We would literally sit outside on the patio and smoke the entire shift and only go inside when we saw a customer. It was hands down the best job I've ever had (or will have).

2. Pass it on to 7 people you feel embody the spirit of the Honest Scrap.
