Awarded!

Thanks to Kate at See Kate Blog for awarding me The Versatile Blogger Award! I'm flattered... not only for the honor, but also that anybody would even bother to read my ramblings! Thanks again, Kate! She's the cutest... and has a darling family. Check her out!

To "officially" accept this award, I'm supposed to write seven things about myself... here goes!


#1 - I have crooked pinkies... So does my paternal grandmother and my cousin. Thanks genes!

#2 - I have a crazy, insane fear of throwing up. When I begin to feel nauseated, I start to panic and cry hysterically. It usually goes something like this: "Sob sob sob sob... MATT! Sob sob sob sob sob... I think I'm going to... sob sob sob... THROW UP!!!" Nothing a little topical phenergan can't fix...


#3 - I have to have a drink with me at all times. Beside my bed. In the car. In my purse. At the movies. On a roller coaster. I hate to feel parched. And what if I spontaneously choke on something??? I mean, it's completely rational. 


#4 - I have a black thumb. Not literally (see previous photo)... But I usually manage to kill any plant that gets in my path. I can keep people alive all day long (I'm a nurse), but don't give me a plant that's only basic needs are sunlight and water. They're doomed. 


#5 - In my fifth grade yearbook, under each picture of the "graduating" students, we listed what we wanted to be when we grew up. (My idea... being yearbook "president" and all...) I listed "newscaster"... a more proper title would have been "news anchor", but I was 11... so shoot me. Instead, I grew up to be a registered nurse and deathly camera shy. 


#6 - I loathe cold weather... I've been known to wear leggings, long johns, and two pairs of double-layered socks and still shiver the day away... Lucky for me, Spring has sprung!!


#7 - I grew up having Sunday lunch at my grandmother's every single week. It might has well been thanksgiving, with the spread of food and the fellowship with my entire extended family... we're talking aunts, uncles, cousins... the whole nine yards. Even while living in Nashville, each time we go home, there's nothing better than sitting down with my family for Sunday lunch. My mammaw makes cornbread for Matt every time we're there. His favorite...


Thanks again for the award, Kate! I'm honored! And now I get to pass it on to a few of my favorite bloggers!
