Reading through a blog award then realizing that it’s been passed on to me just makes my day.
A couple of weeks ago, Jen over at What The Blog? awarded me the Versatile Blogger Award and I was just as pleased as punch!
If you haven’t read her blog recently, do it. She is pretty incredible and also pretty pregnant and I cannot get enough of her blog.
Without further ado:
The “rules” here say that I have to share 7 facts about myself and then pass this pretty little award on to 7 bloggers. Here goes.
1- I’ve never in my life eaten ketchup. The smell of it makes me gag. I’ve worked in two restaurants where one of the jobs was to refill ketchup bottles. I cannot tell you the dirty, awful jobs I’ve done to get someone to fill those disgusting ketchup bottles for me.
2- I am totally obsessed with Over the Rhine. I really, honestly think that no one is as good as them. I’ve seen them a zillion times and they sometimes make me cry. I walked down the aisle to one of their songs and our first dance was to an OTR song. The funny part is this: When someone else tells me that they’ve heard of them and love them, I almost get defensive, like no one can love them as much as I do. It’s a sickness.
3- I always carry huge purses. Part of that is because I always have to have a book with me, but the other part is kind of bizarre and cracks my friends up. I have a little technique that always works: If I’m, say, at the store and they ask if I have the coupon for such and such item, I just act all flustered and crazy and start digging through this giant purse and they get flustered and just give me what I want. It works when I don’t have my license with me and need it for a credit card transaction. It worked in college with teachers. Once, I saved my friends and I like 20 dollars off of a canoe trip this way. It always works.
4- I have two tee shirts that I’ve had since I was in, like, 8th grade. They are so soft and perfect and I still wear them regularly.
5- Marshmallows are in my list of top 5 favorite foods.
6- I didn’t get my driver’s license until I was 25 years old. I’m serious. In high school, I couldn’t pass the test because I was maybe the worst driver ever. During college, I used public transportation and just got used to being carless. I think it is quaint and hilarious that my husband taught me to drive.
7- I am a major cheapskate, but the shampoo I love is 20 dollars. So is the conditioner. And the gel. Sometimes I even buy the spray. I never feel a bit of remorse for dropping 60 or 80 dollars at a time on hair products. Curly hair is tricky!
