So today is the last day of 5 Minutes for Mom's Ultimate Blog Party 2009! I must say i have had so much fun this week surfing through the list of blogs and meeting so many new people. I have enjoyed all the new visitors to my blog and reading through the wonderful comments you all have left. I truly hope you all decide to stick around so that i can get to know you all more.

My reader is now jammed to capacity with new blogs and i think i will now spend about 18 hours a day reading blogs lol. I really can't complain because i love every minute of it. You all have such great stories to share and i couldn't imagine not hearing from you all.

Now that the week is over we wait for the prize drawings. This is my favorite part. It is almost like gambling. I get so excited that i could possibly win something. It is very addictive lol. They are giving away a load of great prizes thanks to lots of great sponsors. I still have my eyes set on quiet a few specific prizes but would take anything they give me because the prizes are all amazing.

Now on to something unexpected!

As i read through my reader this morning i stumbled upon something i was not expecting. Baba from Baba's Farm Life bestowed upon me this amazingly cute and touching Friends Award.

Now here are the rules:

These blogs are exceedingly charming. These kind bloggers aim to find and be friends. They are not interested in self-aggrandizement. Our hope is that when the ribbons of these prizes are cut, even more friendships are propagated. Please give more attention to these writers. Deliver this award to eight bloggers who must choose eight more and include this cleverly-written text into the body of their award.

So now it's my turn to pick 8 and pass on this lovely award. All beautiful blogs that I hope you'll visit. I know you'll love reading them!
