Someone out there likes me; they really like me! And I don't care how played out that line is...I'm using it anyways. I've had the glorious honor of being given an award for my wee wittle blog.

And I must say that this is much better than the award I received from my college newspaper for the piece I wrote about Jamba Juice's catering services. True Story. Speaking of which, that award is now possibly in the possession of whoever bought my old car, since I left it in the sun visor when we took it to the dealrship to sale it.

But I'm waaaay off topic.

I want to thank Ms. Sara Louise at Sara In Le Petit Village for this generous honor. With lots of other fabulous blogs out there, it's nice to know that people do appreciate my ramblings.

Now, according to the laws of Karma, it is my responsibilty to pass the honor to other blogs/bloggers who make my day just a little brighter with their tales.

My Little Corner of the World

I know this list is extremely short, but with my hectic schedule I have a hard enough time fitting my favorites in.

Excuses, excuses, you say?

Oh, I didn't tell you? That's my maiden name. :)

I am still discovering new and fabulous blogs often, so I hope that if put in this position again, I'll be more than ready.

Now, as I understand it, here is where I'm supposed to post ten little known facts about myself, hopefully without incriminating myself. Here they are, in no particular order:

*I sucked the two middle fingers on my right hand until the 8th grade. I hated pacifiers as a baby and my mother never encouraged me to stop as I got older. But, when I reached high school, I knew that if I wanted to make friends I'd have to stop. Plus, getting older, my fingers got longer and it just didn't feel right anymore. I am now 12 yrs finger-sucking free.

*Balloons terrify me. Not the cute Mylar ones at the party store. But the latex easy-to-pop balloons. I even have a hard time watching them on tv.

*Halbastram and I met on Yahoo personals.

*I grew up on gangsta rap. Like, hardcore MF'ing, foul-mouthed rap. And Led Zeppelin. And Pink Floyd. But somehow ended up becoming a hardcore Beach Boys fanatic.

*My dream job once was to be the locker room sports reporter for ESPN. I was 15 when I thought of this...

*My drink of choice is whiskey and I enjoy cigars. Just like the gangsters of lore.

*My favorite episode of Seinfeld is "The Bizzaro Jerry."

*My wedding theme was "Safety Dance." Yes, after the song.

*During the summer before my freshman year of college, for two weeks I would wake up every morning at 7am just to hear "Flake" by Jack Johnson on the radio. Because I knew that's when this one station played it. Like clockwork.

*Last week I watched an episode of JONAS and kind of enjoyed it.

And that's me in a nut shell. Or a nut house. Whichever seems right.
