I am most grateful to accept this award from
Lourie. Even as I sit with my pony tail, pink-striped pajama bottoms and Olen’s t-shirt; I am feeling very beautiful. Thank you so much Lourie.
The conditions of accepting this award are to share seven facts about you and to pass the award on to fifteen other blogs you’ve recently discovered. Now, here’s the thing; you know how people say that it’s the third baby that can really throw things off kilter (haven’t you ever heard anyone say that)? Well, they ain’t kidding. I’m getting the hang of it all now just great, but man did our third kid really rock my boat. Diaper bags, nap times, feedings and car seats really don’t leave me much time for discovering new blogs. Not to mention my return to real estate and my desire to have a life outside of my computer chair. So instead of nominating fifteen other blogs I’ve recently discovered I would like to award this Beautiful Blogger Award to all of you. Thank you for taking the time to see what’s going on in our little world and for being so beautiful. Good for you.
I really love reading random and little-known facts about you, but when listing stuff about me I always feel like that one scene from [one of the best movies ever made] Beaches when CC Bloom is getting interviewed and she’s all “…I’m a person with deep feelings who feels things deeply.” Gag me, right? I’ve done a few tags where you answer funny questions about yourself and I’ve left up one or two, but I’ve also deleted a couple after 35 nauseating minutes of publishing. But since I know I can’t ask you to go back home and write out your seven facts without me sharing first, I will be brave.
First here’s what facts my family would tell you about me:
Porter
“Well, you’re really pretty (okay, some of these aren’t facts). Your favorite color is yellow (totally is) your favorite foods are your diet foods like fish (totally aren’t) and you like to spend time with your family.”
Olen
“You love to travel, and want to live in Italy (dead on). Your hobby is doing your nails (dead wrong) and your favorite movie is Life is Beautiful.”
London
“You like to clean (well, I like a clean house, so yeah).”
Here’s what I would tell you about me:
1. I’m turning 29 this year and am freaking out a little about it. Having Olen talk about getting a mini van is not helping.
2. If I could spend the day with anyone in the world it would totally be Tina Fey, we would be best friends forever. If she even knew I existed.
3. I think I missed my true calling as a news anchor. I think I could totally rock that job.
4. When I was little I wanted a small family. I would tell my mom, “I’m only going to have eight kids.”
5. I have tried, but just can’t get into sparkling vampires or under-aged werewolves. But really I know it’s just because I’m crazy jealous that such a mediocre piece of literature could be so insanely (and monetarily) popular. But I would never tell anyone that.
6. Being a mom and wife are what I love best. It's the greatest to loose count of how many times I get to say "I love you", and really mean it, each day.
7. I am a deeply feeling person who feels things deeply. There, I said it.
Now you know what to do, you beautiful blogger, you. Don’t leave me hanging.
