The day I got married, everything fell apart. It was horribly hilarious. Matt got lost in the temple, there was a blizzard outside, my uncle got arrested, and we lost Matt's wedding ring in a cemetery . . . just to name a few.Another thing that happened was during the reception, while the best man was clearly aware a speech was involved, my older sister and maid of honor was clueless that taking on her birthright would require public speaking.
She held up her glass of sparkling cider, and said, "Rock on Sistah Friend!"
This has since become a personal motto for me. I say it to everyone, use it as a signature in forum posts, and I've been told by a friend that she personally waits for the day I will say it to her. It's an affirmation. It's also my personal way of telling people how freaking awesome they are.
A month or so ago, one of my loyal readers said, "You need to make me a button that says 'Rock on Sistah Friend' so I can display it on my blog!" Thus came about the "Rock on Sistah Friend" Award. There are a few rules of course to this award.
- If you receive the "Rock on Sistah Friend" award, you must post the button on your blog (in sidebar or in a post), and link back to Color Me Untypical.
- Let me know if you receive the award from someone, so I can add you to our Sistah's Who Rock Blogroll, and give them my personal "Rock On Sistah Friend!"
- In the post on your blog, you must give the award away to 3 other Sistah's who you think rock. Post links to their blogs, why they rock, and post the rules to the award. Also, let them know you've given them the award so they too can celebrate themselves and pass on the love.

Hi I received the award and was so honored. I have posted 3 new sistahs if you want to check them out to send them a congrats note like you did to me.

Thank you! I just love the story behind this award! I'm on my way out the door , but will be posting this on my blog as soon as I can, hopefully this evening. I'm honored to accept it, and to link back to your great blog!
Such a cute award. I LOVE the story behind it. I will be posting again soon within the next couple of days; can't wait to pass it on to some awesome sista friends:)
I have posted the award, and my choices of recipients on my blog. I hope you will honor them with a comment as you did me.
I try to keep my blog fairly low key as far as graphics go (I'm on dial-up), so will wait until the post with the badge and link have gone to the next page before posting it (along with a link here) permanently on my sidebar.
Thank you again. I'm thrilled both to recieve this award, and to be able to pass it on.
hello, what a great blog you have! i've been married for less than a year, so it's fun discovering another housewife blog.
i got the rock on sistah award from zakka life, and will be posting the button later tonight.
thank you for making such rockin' sweet award!
This story is too funny! I've been seeing this button all over blogland and NOW I know the story!
I sure hope one day someone passes one on to me! Right now, I'm not rocking enough! :-(
