Arte Y Pico

Lookee here what my good buddy from down under Phil from Phils Phun honoured me with.

It is called an Arte Y Pico Award, also in Spanish. From the Arte Y Pico blog translated from Spanish to English:

What is the meaning of the expression: Art and Pico
What is the meaning of the expression: And basically, ironically, it translates into a wonderful phrase in Mexico, “lo maximo.” LOL! What is the meaning of the expression: And basically, ironically, it translates into a wonderful phrase in Mexico, "lo maximo." LOL! It will never find its counterpart in English, but if it HAD to, it would be something like, Wow. It will never find its counterpart in English, but if it HAD to, it would be something like, Wow. The Best Art. The Best Art. Over the top. Over the top.

When you get the award, you are supposed to post the original rules,

1) You have to pick 5 blogs that you consider deserve this award,
creativity, design, interesting material, and also contrubutes to the blogger community, no matter of language.

2) Each award has to have the name of the author and also a link to his or her blog to be visited by everyone.

3) Each award-winning, has to show the award and put the name and link to the blog that has given her or him the ward itself.

4) Award-winning and the one who has given the prize have to show the link of "Arte y pico" blog , so everyone will know the origin of this award.

5) To show these rules.

My five picks are:

White Trash Mom (Because they crack me up)

To Whom It May Concern (Because this girl knows how to put her thoughts into words better than anyone I think I've ever known - wait I don't know her, but whatever)

Megret (Because I wish I did 1/4 of the things she does with her kids with my own)

Rare Bird Finds (Because they find some neat stuff - and because I'm running out of blogs - no offense Rare Birds - not that they'll actually read this)

The Bloggess (Because this lady is hilarious. I have to say I got a little irritated because she just had some fat sucked out of her nonexistent belly - she's still funny though)

Fort Worth Fireworks

We went and watched the fireworks last night. Big Daddy, Shorty, me and Na-Na (my mom) all loaded up in Na-Na's truck and drove to an undisclosed location handpicked by Big Daddy. It was an awesome spot. It would have been more awesome if the fireworks were better. Aren't I crabby? The fireworks weren't the greatest I'd ever seen before. There was another fireworks show going on just to the north of us and it was awesome. I think it was Haltom City.

So I didn't want to bore you with the two crappy firework pictures I took, so here is a picture of the Fort Worth skyline. My hand is not that steady, but I think the picture has a cool effect. Click on it to make it bigger.

Here is a picture of the sunset with a beautiful, architectural piece smack dab in the middle of it. Oh, crap, that's a light post.
