Thank You

First, thank you so much to all who left such warm and sweet comments. Dad is doing so much better and is going back to work today! To say the least, our whole family is relieved to see him doing so well. Thank you again for your sweet prayers, knowing you are pulling for my family truly warms my heart. Also, thank you for sharing your stories with me, please know you've got my thoughts and prayers as well. I couldn't ask for nicer readers [friends really], you guys are the absolute best.

Speaking of friends, a while ago Jaime passed the Circle of Friends Award onto me, Jaime's one of the first bloggie friends I made, DO check out her blog if you haven't already. It was so sweet of her to think of me. After Sunday's post, I think it's only appropriate that I pass this onto all of you. It looks like my dad's over this hurdle but your words meant, still mean, a lot to me. I really hope each of you will accept it.

Also, three lovely ladies Janet, Kristen and Aubrey were so kind to pass the MeMe Blog Award onto me. I'm hooked on all their blogs, they're all sweet and they're all beautiful...c'mon now, don't hate :)
I'm supposed to share 7 things about me. In putting together this list I've realized I'm a bag of contradictions...
1. I love to eat and will try pretty much anything at least once. Just don't ask me to eat the last thing on the table, I can't bring myself to take the last piece. Of anything.
2. I'm a super light sleeper and wake up whenever S tosses and turns (or snores). Yet, some of the best sleep I've ever received has been at movie theatres. Something about the dark, the blasting AC and 3-hour movies knock me right out.
3. I could live off of Sun Chips, Gummy Bears, Chocolate and Ice Cream. However, I never feel completely satisfied until I've had a good heavy, and I mean heavy meal.
4. Mayra may not believe this ;)...but I'm very patient. I'll wait when you're super late, I'll stay on the phone when I've been put on hold for what seems like forever, I'll wait for you to come through on what you promised months ago. Just please don't drive in front of me at 40km in a 60 zone.
5. I can't stand clutter and having *junk* in the house but I'll keep a note my BFF wrote to me in 6th grade.
6. I don't like fish but I love sushi and sashimi(so long as it doesn't taste fishy...yes, it's possible).
7. I don't have a lisp, but can't say the word "links" without sounding like I have a forked tongue. Can you?

Onto the 7 blogs, in alphabetical order, to whom I'm passing this award:
All Things NYC, Always a Bridesmaid...Finally a Bride, Clothed Much, Gabby, She Wrote, I am Style-ish, Modediktat and Tic Tac Tomato

Happy Tuesday, lovelies!
Looking forward to catching up with y'all!

  3. Dear Ela!

    Thank you so much for the lovely comments you left on my blog during I was away :-)

  4. I'm not a big fan of fish either... but I know what you mean about sushi, as long as it's not fishy tasting!! And while you can't eat the "last piece," I can't eat the ends of things. If I have a picle, a tiny end will remain on my plate because I don't like eating it. Same with hot dogs, brats, things with "ends." Odd, I know!

  8. Sorry I missed your last post :/ I was having a bad crampy day yesterday (whereas today is just a bad headachey day... ahh, it's good to be a woman ;-) I'm so glad your dad is doing better. I'm kinda worried about mine, because he's going into surgery next week (it's a cardiovascular thing where they have to widen his arteries)... not really a dangerous operation, but you do get worried nonetheless.

    Loved reading your tag answers! I can relate to the sleeping habits. Though I am generally a heavy sleeper once I fall asleep... I have fallen asleep in cinemas plenty of times, though my personal highlight was when the hubby and I both fell asleep watching a play in London starting Woody Harrelson. We were in the third row center and I'm pretty sure he was insulted... haha.

    Hope you're having a fab time with J.! There's nothing better than catching up with a friend who lives far away :)

  9. ahhh hahahahaha...no i don't believe you. LOL. kidding.

    so happy to hear your dad is doing better. i hate when things like that happen to the ones i care about. it's like your whole world stops for that moment and it's not until you get the okay that you start breathing normal again.

    anywho, maybe you're just impatient with me as i tend to rub that off on people. i'm the worst but that's neither here nor there. i was tagged by you so i will play...check my blog for it.

    ps. you're so cool, just sayin...

  16. I'm glad to hear your Dad is feeling better! It must've been a horrible experience to see him so ill. And I love the thing about light sleeper! I'm a strange sleeper. Only certain things will wake me up. Like lightening, and I have a sixth sense when there's bugs in my room and seem to wake up every time there's a moth or something. Slightly odd xD

  24. It's so great to hear that your dad is doing better! And I do not think it is weird that you don't like fish but you like sushi/sashami. There are a ton of people like that; including one of my best friends. However, I do love me some fish, esp crab and lobster.

    ReplyDelete

  26. Hi Ela, glad to hear your dad is doing great now.

    Nice post! And I know what you mean about the sashimi tasting fishy. I don't like that either and could not eat red tuna for that reason. It tastes fishy to me no matter how fresh!

    ReplyDelete
  27. Congrats on the awards! I love your facts. We have a lot in common. I also will try any food item once. Anything. Bring it on. Hehe!

  28. Oh my gosh and out of pure coincidence (or is blogger trying to tell me something?) my security word I had to type in for that last comment was "obese"!! LOL!

  29. Hey Ela! So nice to hear that your dad is doing better. I loved reading your 7 things! I am totally a neat freak too!

    I could also probably live off gummi bears... if only they didn't have so much sugar!

  31. Thanks so much! I just finished it :)
    I can completely relate to the "no clutter but still a sentimental pack rat" thing! I'm the exact same way.
