I've been tagged by Candie as a Queen of Awesome!!Candie was tagged by The Wizard Queen Otin.
You know Otin who has problems with nuts and thongs.
But Candie has no problems, well except with a coach that does not make her run enough or is it too much. But running is something she has started doing again and she loves it. Candie writes the most beautiful poetry that you feel in your heart. Her stories about family and life affect you in so many ways. They are most awesome and enjoyable. Just read them and you will feel this way too.
The rules for me to be a Queen are:
1. Write a list of 7 things that make you awesome. Dang I hope I find them.
2. Pass the award on to 7 bloggers that I love. Well that will be hard, I love all the bloggers I visit. Thank goodness lots of you have already gotten this award. Whew, I will say that I am happy you got it and if I give mine to someone you are trying to give it to, then they got a double tag and have to list 14 things, oh yeah, I am glad I only got 7.
3. Tag those bloggers to let them know that they have joined the Royal Queen's land and link back to the Queen Bee who tagged you.
Okay, lets see if I can think of 7 things that are awesome about me in my brainworld. So brainworld thinks......still thinking ... uh... uh... no... uh.. okay lets try this one,
1. She has a brainworld to think for her. (Wow that was an easy one)
2. She smiles a lot. (Everyone who I come across each day knows they are going to get a smile from me, I smile at strangers, I smile at friends, I smile at everyone who looks at me and gives me a chance to smile at them)
3. She is friendly and a good friend. (See #2, when you smile at people you have a tendency to be friendly. It is hard not to be if you are smiling at them and they smile back. A lot of times I have been told, "Thanks" by people, and that I had no idea how much they needed that smile. I think that is awesome if I helped someone to feel better that day.)
4. Okay, I'm thinking again....uh...(1 hour later)...uh, she is growing cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, strawberries and radishes this year. (This is pretty good for me, since I have not gardened very well in the past. Last year I tried really hard to grow tomatoes and I got "one" tomato. I could not believe after all the TLC I gave that plant, that I only got one. It is awesome at how well I am doing this year. I guess that watering them every day sure does make a difference. That once a week thing did not work too well last year.)
5. This year she will be married 35 years. (Okay, now that is pretty awesome if I must say so myself. My husband is so lucky to have had me stay with him this long. I know he wishes I would leave so he could get someone who knows how to cook, clean and garden, did I say cook, and one that would get a paying job, and one that was actually happy when he came home each night, but what the heck at least he got someone who was loyal, can't cook, can't clean, can't work, and sorta learning to garden, and one that lets him work long hours without complaining as long as he gives her his paycheck. Which I use to pay the bills. Hey I just realized he got an accountant. I don't do windows either, but I watch him do them. I also let him do the shopping. What more could a man ask for? He hit the jackpot when he got me. {oh yeah I spent that too.} Well I do smile when I see him.)
6. She loves her husband. (See I told you he hit the jackpot, otherwise I would have left him and taken all his money. Well I already got that, but his future money. I do the dishes though and the laundry. That's good at least and very awesome. I also drive us everywhere so he can relax on the way there. I tickle him and rub his feet and scratch his back. And when he fell off the ladder into a cactus, I took the tweezers and pulled hundreds, maybe thousands of stickers out. I had to rub my hand on them-ouch- because we could not see them. That was an awesome thing to do.)
7. She has kids and grandkids. (Yes, we have two daughters and 10 grandchildren. Grandchildren range in age from 21 to 5 years of age. Wow that is awesome, don't you think. And they love to come stay with us. Plus here is the most awesome news of all. In October we will have a great-grandson. One that was not expected just yet, but what is done is done and so we will handle it. I just wanted to add that 5 are stepgrankids, just so you people who do math will not think I got married at 14. {I was 12})
So if my brainworld had not worked so hard I would still be trying to find something awesome about me, but I know the 7 of you that I am picking here are totally awesome and will make such great Queens.
So here goes:
1. Linda at Crone and Bear It
2. Jaime at Red Red Whine
3. Betsy at My Five Men
4. T & C at Tristen And Crikey Are Living The Dream
5. Dakota Bear at World Traveler
6. Hazel at The Clever Pup
7. California Girl at Empty Nest Evolution
Whew that was uh, I mean awesome, no it really was fun. I have been known to break the rules, but I think I followed them all this time.
So please have fun all you new and future Queens.

I coincidentally read about this same tagged meme on Baino's blog this morning. She was very up about it. I enjoyed reading her comments.
I will respond and I thank you. It seems a good exercise to praise oneself rather than criticize. (rhymin' simon here)
"I come to bury Caesar not to praise him." Yes, I'm out there today!
Thank you. I'll be back in touch.
Pretty awesome! It's rather hard to think of yourself as such but you managed. Rubbing feet? Get your ass over here! Oh and the cactus thingy, yeh that's definitely awesome.
What fun! Thank you so much for tagging us! We'll start making our list right now, and we'll post it this week:)
Pee Ess: We always thought you were awesome!
Congrats on your crown, Queenie. I loved reading your awesome, brainworld list. Yep, hubby and the kids are definitely lucky to have you. After doing all of the driving in southern California, you don't need to cook or clean. You've done enough pennance. What good news about your great grandson:-)
She is...awesome!!
xoxo
Ahhhh! You were a queen before you got the award! LOL! I am in the midst of blogger royalty!
My best curtsy (and smile!) to you, Mrsu!
Ach! Marianna tagged me! And your brainworld thinks pretty well, yes!
Well my dear you have completely gone over the edge by nominating me for this award - 7 things that are awesome about me? Oh holy crapoli Batman, this is going to give me nightmares! But I thank you for the honor and shall do my best to post my own awesomeness (is that like tooting your own horn?) for Friday's blog. And thank you for not tagging anyone else on my blogroll as I'm running out of people to tag these days! LOL Hugs!
Okey dokey swee'pea - I did it! Come see what I came up with and I hope you get a kick out of it. Hugs!
You are awesome and I think letting your Hubby live with you all this time was pretty good of you especially if you are willing to pull out all the stickers! What more could a man ask for? :0)
I read a article under the same title some time ago, but this articles quality is much, much better. How you do this?
