Who would've thought

It turns out if you whine loud enough you get heard. Honestly I was not looking for someone to nominate me for the "thinking award". I am actually really embarrassed that the day after my big whine fest I get nominated.

A big thanks to Wendy at Wendy's Tiki Hut for nominating me for the thinking blog award.

My turn to name 5 blogs that make me think:

1) So Grateful to be a Mormon: Grateful is new to the blogging world, but is quickly leaving her warmth and kindness wherever she goes. Her positive attitude and outlook on life are contagious and can't help but brighten your day.

2) Toni at My life...just pretend your interested is one of my new blogging friends. I love her humor and her way of looking at things. She is a Brady Bunch fanatic and could beat anyone in a game of Brady trivia. She is also mother to the future superman. Oh, if you visit her blog, leave a comment. She doesn't like lurkers.

3) utmommy at Just the six of us is not only a great mom (just ask her daughter "M"), but a great sister. She also has great taste in shoes. These too. She always has a great attitude and amazing faith despite challenges that come up, like her house nearly catching on fire.

4) Carrot jello at oinkledoinkle has great graphics and cool music on her blog. Not to mention that bouncing baby boy on her blog. Incidentally she has a bouncing baby boy set to join her family next week. Her most recent post was looking on the bright side, despite the vomiting adventures happening at her house.

5) Nikko at Three Blond Boys has three adorable blond boys, hence the name. She has a really cool camera and she takes even cooler pictures. She is also an expert at home improvement projects. And she knows what to do in case of a tornado...take cool pictures. lol

The participation rules are simple:

1. If, and only if, you get tagged, write a post with links to 5 blogs that make you think,

2. Link to this post so that people can easily find the exact origin of the meme,

3. Optional: Proudly display the 'Thinking Blogger Award' with a link to the post that you wrote.
