I got a Top Banana Award

Today I recieved a Top Banana Award from Cliff at WIXY's Gone Bananas.

Here's what he had to say

"The Escape From Wal Mart Top Banana goes to Michelle Dawn, of Rusin's Roundup fame. Yes I'm awarding a former Evil Big Box Store(tm) employee. Then again, so am I, and so is Mrs74. Michelle Dawn shows a very artistic flair and is a good cook."

I want to thank you so much for this award. It just made my day.

Business Sign

I seen this business sign and just had to take a picture of it. The only thing I'm trying to figure out is do you gain it first then work it off or work it off and gain it back. LOL!

Happy New Year 2009

Well I just wanted to wish everyone a very Happy and Safe New Year. I hope 2009 is better than 2008. I plan to quit smoking and to take better care of myself and hopefully get my Avon and Tupperware businesses going strong. (click the pic on my sidebar to see my web page). I also hope to deal and learn to cope with my depression on a more positive note. I do plan on trying to get a job and get more accomplished. I'm also looking forward to strengthening my blog and my friendships in the blogisphere in the coming year. Everyone be safe and remember not to Drink & Drive.
