WHEEW! Stay tuned for the second part of this award ceremony at a date TBD!
Now, most of these blog awards come with the rule of spilling a little bit about yourself, so, spillage part 1:
1. Every birthday of mine that I can remember, it's rained. Yesterday was my birthday, and this year was no exception. Although, it had never snowed on my b-day before... Living in Houston, we're lucky to see it every 5 years. But yesterday... it snowed (the second time in 3 months!). Happy Birthday To Me! :)
2. Someone once told me, "Hate is a waste of emotion." Ever since, I've tried not to hate anyone or anything. I even try not to ever say "I hate you!" even playfully. It just sounds ugly. But I will say this: I just scrubbed our guest bathtub... and I was pretty close to hating that.
3. I have a hard time buying someone else's artwork because I have this weird personal..what's the word...it's like a feeling...not really a "bet"...argh. Can't think. Anyway, I feel like I'm supposed to create all the artwork for the walls in our house myself. Like I will have failed if I don't. I'm slowly getting over it - mostly because our walls have been bare for 2 years because I don't have confidence in my own art to even display it! - and I bought a couple of watercolor paintings from some locals while we were in Italy (and a couple from Hawaii). I'm also slowly cluttering my walls with photos I took on vacations, too.
4. I freak out when my feet feel the slightest bit dirty. It's vital to wear flip flops here in Houston in the summer when it's 100+ and you feel like you're constantly in a sauna, but wow do your feet get dirty!! I'm the queen of the quick fix of a lightly soaped and damp paper towel swipe of the feet in public restrooms, and I give them a good thorough wash cloth cleanse as soon as I get home.
5. I LOVE gift cards. Some people think these as gifts are impersonal, but you know what I say to that? Let ME pick out what you want to buy me, because no one knows me better. I think people are catching on, because yesterday for my birthday I got the most gift cards I've EVER gotten. iTunes, Borders, Hobby Lobby, Michaels, World Market!!! Add that to the Barnes and Noble gift card I won last week from Clevery Inked and I'd say I have a FULL day of shopping in the near future!!!
If you haven't entered my contest for a signed copy of Heist Society by Ally Carter or a $10 Amazon Gift Card, you can do so on this thread!
Felice Mercoledi! (Happy Wednesday!)
