"You've no idea how many men I've had to sleep with to win this." -- Kim Cattrall

Big "thank you" hugs to Laura of Buttons and Ribbons for this fab Lemonade Stand Award. You rock!



A great big THANK YOU to the lovely Lisa of Retro Housewife Goes Green for including me in her list of lovely new-found blogs. Look at me! I'm lovely! :)


Thank you so much to my longtime online buddy and fellow-Scorpie, Kyooty, for this awesome Blogger Friendship Award! She truly rocks, and I'm so honoured that she thinks I do too. :)


Thanks to my RL friend Su of Vively Online who gave me a Sisterhood Award. Su and I have been "sisters" for ages -- way back to our engineering days programming and load-building. She is truly awesome!


"Loved the name of the blog, love the gal behind the blog- Nenette. I enjoy her posts, they make me laugh, ponder, and discuss (probably sometimes babbling my husband’s ear off)." Thanks again to my bloggerina buddy Jami for this gorgeous Blog Star Award.


Thank you so much to my beautiful fellow-nerd bloggy buddy Jami at Bionic Beauty in 2008 for my very first ever award nominations!

I totally ripped the format of this awards page off Musingwoman's most awesome In Three Words blog award page. Still hoping and awaiting her return!

Books I Love...

Books are lovely... but some truly suck. These listed here do not suck. They are a jumble of my favourite erotica, romantic-fiction, health/diet/nutrition, simple-living, and green-living books. I love reading and learning, so this list will continually grow. Be sure to come back and see what I've added.

Just click on a book, and it'll take you to its Amazon.com page.

Check these babies out. I highly recommend them...

100 Thing Update - My Makeup Case

I live with a man. A very cute, intelligent, funny man of Northern European (Brit - Scot - Austrian - Dutch) ancestry... 6' tall, runner's physique... salt-n-pepper hair, green/blue/grey eyes... looks a little like Gerry Butler. No, that's not why I married him... he didn't look like Ger when I met him 20 years ago... eh, maybe I saw the potential. :)

Aside from a shower, a swipe of deodorant, and an occasional beard clipping, he needs nothing to make him look and smell like his cute, yummy self.

And then there's me.

Now, I'd like to think I'm low maintenance. And really, if you compare me to many women, I am. But when I was tallying up the contents of my makeup case, I was astounded! When I counted every individual article, it was definitely more than I thought! Here. Have a look...

1. Olay Total Effects moisturizer
2. Rimmel brow gel
3. lash curler
4. XXL waterproof mascara
5. Aveda eyeliner - cacao
6. Aveda tinted moisturizer (which I use as concealer and eyeshadow)
7. Aveda lipsaver balm
8. Aveda lipliner - morena (which I use as an all over lip colour)
9. Aveda eyeshadow (comes in a tube... don't quite remember the name)
10. MAC retractable lip brush
11. makeup pencil sharpener
12. tweezers
13. hairbrush
14. Aveda Confixor styling lotion
15. PM Tea Tree shampoo
16. PM Tea Tree conditioner
17. Lush Olive Branch shower gel
18. contact lens solution
19. Fruits & Passions Jasmin perfume
20. cuticle stone
21. Dior nail polish
22. nail clippers

No, I don't use facial cleanser or toner... just water and a good washcloth... I've never had a breakout since! :)

So, what do you think? I don't think I'll make it under 100 at this rate. Maybe 200... or 300...
