Well, the three hour window is rarely set in stone. It seems like just when I’ve given up on the people stopping by and sit down to a delicious lunch, the door bell rings.
I never really mind because it’s just a relief when they show up at all and I’m home anyway, but I was awfully excited to dig into this big noodle bowl when the door bell rang this afternoon.
My pasta cooled and beckoned to me while a delivery man and I carried in three big boxes, but it was worth the wait.
I can’t wait until the three boxes become our beautiful new bed!
By this point Ryan and I are pros at assembling furniture, so I hope we’ll have it put together this evening. Even though we don’t have a mattress just yet, it will be nice to have a real bed in our bedroom.
Now for some awfully exciting news on the blog front!
Foodbuzz Awards
Yesterday I received an email that both shocked and excited me. Thanks to your nominations, Peanut Butter Fingers is up for a Foodbuzz Blog Award for Best Healthy Living Blog.
![n-besthealthyliving[6]](https://i2.wp.com/pbfingers.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/n-besthealthyliving6.jpg "n-besthealthyliving[6]")
I am honestly honored and humbled to be nominated in a category with women whose blogs I deeply admire and who inspired me to begin a blog myself two years ago.
It’s truly your support that keeps me motivated. You keep me going and make this blog what it is and I thank you, yet again, for your readership and for nominating me for this award. As cheesy as it sounds, a nomination is an honor in and of itself, and one I never expected to receive, so thank you for giving me a wonderful surprise!
If you would like to vote for me or any of the other wonderful blogs up for a Foodbuzz Blog Award, the voting is open until October 17 at 5 p.m. PDT. You may click here to vote if you wish.
Again, THANK YOU. You guys are fabulous!

WHOOT WHOOT! Congratulations! I’m definitely not shocked that you got a nomination! I feel kind of proud of myself for following one of the “Best Healthy Living Blogs” out there! Yay me and YAY YOU!! Seeing that I wake up and read your blog first thing in the morning (it’s almost as automatic as me hitting the snooze button), you get my vote! 🙂
haha this made me laugh and smile! thanks, dee!
Congrats on the nomination…you got my vote…good luck!
P.S. I just spent a ridiculous amount of time checking out all of the other blogs nominated and came across some I really enjoyed, so thanks for sharing!
yes! it’s such a great way to find new blogs. i loved discovering new ones, too!
I love that bed! It is definitely a piece of furniture that can go many different ways with its look!
Congrats on your foodbuzz nomination! I just signed in and voted for you! I hope you win! 🙂
Congratulations on the nomination Julie! Your blog is the one thing that is consistent in my day, and i am always so excited to read it every morning. I think what gets most people, and myself included is that you are real, honest, and fun. I’ve been reading since the beginning of this year and i’ve found that despite your success you haven’t changed. It’s still the same stuff; day to day jobs, annoyances, food, fitness, weird topics of discussion, oh and SADIE! Love it, keep it up!
I feel the EXACT same way.
And, I don’t think I’m alone when I say that you really make us feel like we’re friends with you… really, really good friends 🙂

You deserve it, congrats!!
Of course I voted for you!! My life would be so different if I never googled ” fish shaped cakes”. (I bring that up a lot, don’t I? LOL) You also inspired me to start my own blog.
Thanks for being awesome, Julie!

I voted for you of course cause ur my fave…but why wasn’t skinny runner nominated for funniest blog? She’s hilarious
i love her, too! and you actually have to be a foodbuzz featured publisher to be nominated and she doesn’t use them as her ad network.
I just voted! Your blog is seriously incredible. It has helped me get in shape and maintain my weight in a healthy way.
Not to mention your amazingly simple recipes that make me look forward to dinner, instead of dreading it. <3
