[Ahaha. Sometimes I make myself laugh.]
Ok, first things first. See my new little blog button there on the side? Don't take it yet! [Is that bad publicity? Alas.] It's not quite perfected yet. But. I'm working on it. [Or I should say, Tim is working on it.] I'm not very savvy at all this hip blogger stuff yet. [Obviously, if it's taken me this long to get a button, eh?] I'll let you know when it's ready a.s.a.p.
Second item of business. I was given two blog awards! Well, technically, I think I was given the same blog award twice [by two different people - Emma from Race & Emma and Ashley from All Things Ashley]. The Versatile Blogger Award. I'm so happy! I love blog friends and blog lovin'. So I believe I'm supposed to tell you seven random things about me and then nominate some people for the same award.
1. I am naturally a very shy person. Over the years, it's gotten to the point where most people can't even tell [at least, I don't think so]. But it takes a lot of work on my part sometimes. I think now I can be relatively outgoing without a ton of effort, but occasionally I just revert to sitting in the corner quietly.
2. I love food. [Wait, was this supposed to be things you didn't know?] I don't consider myself a "foodie," because let's face it - I am not discriminatory. I love almost all food. [Minus seafood. I know that's a pretty large group to rule out, but I think if you read this post, you'll understand.]
3. I used to play the trumpet. True story. 5th-8th grade. Back in the glory days. [Not.]
4. I once swallowed a penny. When I was five. And it got stuck in my esophagus and I had to have a bronchoscopy and stay in the hospital overnight. Awkward.
5. I am a Mormon! And my new Mormon.org profile is now up and running. You can get to it by clicking on that "I'm a Mormon" button on the upper-right hand side.
6. Tim and I love Psych. Like, love love love it. Enough that we got two pineapples, two Season Four DVD sets, and a pineapple clock for wedding gifts. I have this dream that we could spend an entire day with them, quoting '80s movies. [And don't try to tell me that they aren't real.]
7. I am a singer. Or more like I used to be. I've done years of choir, but in high school, I did a few years of singing lessons. And would compete in Classical and Musical Theatre competitions. It was kind of intense and took a lot of the fun out of it for me. But. I still like to sing, but now it's more informal. Sometimes, Tim and I sing on Mill Avenue in Tempe, AZ for fun [and we even get paid for it...suckers].
And there you have it. Things you never wanted to know. Now for the nominations. [Our third item of business.] This is really hard for me because I love so many blogs. So many talented, creative people out there. But here we go:
Katie from Scruples
Alexis from Alexis Laughs
Siri from Of Pumpkin Thieves
Katie from Harrisness
Kara from Not a Couple's Blog
Chelsea from Perfect in My Mind
Bridget from Being Quiet in a Loud Way
[I didn't actually know how many I was supposed to nominate, so I did seven - the number of random facts about myself.]
Ok kids, now it's your turn! Seven random facts about yourselves and nominations!
Fourth order of business: Camping was awesome. I will have to tell you all about it a.s.a.p. [But not now, because this is turning into a freakishly long post.]
Fifth order of business:
A wedding picture. For fun.
Kbyenow.
