I got an award! *shocked face*
Here are the rules that came with the award:
1) Thank the person who nominated me for this award.
2) Copy the award & place it on my blog.
3) Link to the person who nominated me for this award.
4) Tell us 7 interesting things about yourself.
5) Nominate 7 bloggers.
6) Post links to the 7 blogs I nominate.
My Blog was nominated by a wonderfully talented woman who I have a total girl-crush on: Shannon of SVH and Gilmore Girls blog fame. If you don't already have her favorited please immediately do so.
Interesting things about me:
1. My mother and grandmother used to make all of my clothes, doll clothes, and barbie clothes. We were all extremely well dressed and 80's-erific
2. I am the oldest of three girls, the youngest just started college. I love them both more than life.
3. I'm AWESOME at hula-hooping with my neck.
4. I hate anything that has to do with wrists, being dirty, or feet. I get physically ill when thinking about any of those things.
5. I love video games and think of myself as a gamer, but I know I'm not really dedicated enough to hold that title.
6. I play Brain Age on my DS every night before bed and I still have the brain age of a 60 year old.
7. I run hot and cold in almost all aspects of my life. The things I love can quickly turn into things I barely tolerate.
The Seven Bloggers I nominate are:
1.
Call Me Freckles - She has great taste, a wonderful way with words and her recaps of the Vampire Diaries, which though I've never watched (I don't have television) sounds awesomely trashy.
2.
Not That Kind of Girl - I'm completely addicted to her writing style and her blog concept. I haven't worked up the nerve to comment on her blog yet because I'm totally in awe of her, this is as good an excuse as any.
3.
The Art of Being Blunt - She's a very good friend of mine and too funny, talented, and beautiful for words, please check her out, she's just getting started.
4.
Get a Pencil and Your Case Book - I've been a fan of Sadako since I started reading blogs. She's got a gift for snark, a gift that she uses wisely.
5.
30 is the new 13 - I know she's already gotten this award, but I want to link her blog anyway. She blogs about stories that she and others have written from their childhood. As a former childhood writer myself I can appreciate how ridiculous and funny the whole thing is.
6.
KateC Says - Another good friend of mine. She writes a wonderful advice blog and is open, honest, and full of wisdom. She's also got a way with words and an astonishing ability to hear the most outlandish, embarrassing story and make you feel totally normal and accepted.
7.
. . . in the Attic - I'm also nominating her in hopes of a future post soon. I wasn't allowed to read V.C. Andrews as a kid (I know, how prudish of my mother!) her recaps have helped me to realize why.
I think that's it, I guess.
Oh also, I'm back from my trip, and hope to have some decent posts up soon.
