10/31/12 - Sunshine Blogger Award

Hello friends!

I have been awarded the Sunshime Blogger Award by friend Tanya over at Creative Endeavors.

She and I have recently become friends thanks to our mutual love of scrapbooking and blogging and I am finding that we have a lot in common!

How cool is that?

 

 

Thanks, Tanya for thinking of me!

 



 

 

 

Okay, so the official Sunshine Blogger Award rules are:
1. Include the award logo in blog post.
2. Thank the blogger who gave it to you and include a link back to them.
3. Answer 10 questions about yourself, that you have made up yourself.
4. Nominate 10-12 bloggers and contact them at their blog site to inform them.

 

 

 

 

 

Rule #1 and #2 were easy, but I struggled with #3!

The problem isn't that I don't think I'm interesting... cuz I am! LOL! It's more that the Q&A structure of it felt too much like a test and I am awful at tests.  So, as generally the case w/ me... I am going to accomplish the goal set out by "rule #3" but in another way.

Have you seen the segment in US Weekly called "25 Things You Don't Know About Me"? It's where celebrities share 25 things that the public doesn't know about them.  That's the format I'm going to follow, but I'll only be listing 10 things:

 

1.   My biggest fear is the dark. I have been afraid of the dark since I was a kid. Blue whales are a close second, but I don't generally run into blue whales in the course of my day.

 

2.   If I could go back in time to any era, I would go back to the days of Marilyn Monroe, when women with curves were considered sexy.

 

3.   My favorite gift ever is my GPS. (I'm directionally challenged). My hubby gave it to me for Christmas one year and I tell him that he didn't just give me a GPS but that he gave me the "world"!

 

4.   My best trait is my sense of humor! I am constantly making people laugh. My hubby says I have the "sense of humor of a man"...he meant it, and I take it, as a compliment.

 

5.   My favorite item of clothing is pajamas! If I don't have to leave my house... I am in pajamas!!

 

6.  I love nachos... I mean love, love them... like I want to "marry them" love them! LOL! But only w/ fake cheese, none of that shredded then melted stuff!

 

7.  I can't sleep with my bedroom door open...it freaks me out! Which causes friction w/ my hubby cause he can't sleep w/ it closed cuz he gets too hot.  We have compromised to have it "cracked"...a very little crack...just enought to let some air in (it still freaks me out though)!

 

8.   I have 2 major style pet peeves that send me over the edge: open-toed shoes w/ out polished toe nails and racer back tops w/ regular bras...they sell racer back bras for a reason! (Sorry if you do this, but if you do and I see you, know this...you're causing me anxiety!!!)

 

9.   I love to include movie quotes in my everyday speech. Some of my favs: "You're killing me, Smalls!", "Dishes are Done!", "Shut-Up, Richard!", and "You'll have to excuse my friend...he's a little slow..."

 

10.   I generally have no filter and say whatever is on my mind no matter what it is.  Sometimes that comes off as rude.  I understand this and as I get older I am trying really hard to work on it!
