What, Another Award???

Yep! ANOTHER!!!! When someone gives me an award I feel like the kid who gets picked first for kickball! How lucky! I have to give a big THANKS to The Simple Life for giving me this award! Go and check out her blog!


Taaaaa Daaaaaa!!!!
The Versatile Blogger

Now for the fun part! I get to tell you 7 things about myself. Totally random stuff. Gonna be hard since I have shared so much random stuff with you lovely readers before! Ok here we go...

1. When I was little I was afraid of the "wrinkle monster". I had to have my blanket completely wrinkle free before I could go to sleep so that the "wrinkle monster" would not get me. Yep, I was even OCD then. Not too much has changed.... although now I don't think the "wrinkle monster" is really going to come after me.

2. I won tons of theater awards in high school but I only have 2 of them displayed in my house today. One is an All Star Cast Award which I got at the South Eastern Theater Conference that was held in Mobile Alabama during my junior year (ummm yeah that is a pretty BIG deal) and the other is a Superior Acting Award that I got at the Palmetto Dramatic Association during my sophomore year (yep, pretty BIG deal too). I am super proud of them!

3. I love taking pictures but really stink at it. Don't care though. I still enjoy it and am glad I am capturing these precious moments of my kids.

4. When I was little I had an imaginary friend. Remember the movie Casper with Christina Ricci? Well Stretch the ghost was my imaginary friend. Why I chose him over Casper is beyond me. No clue there. All I know is I took pictures of my imaginary friend, that's how serious I was. Oh, and those pictures were in an album. Yep, Stretch at Biltmore! Gotta love it!

5. One of our cats had been missing for a few days (oh, this was when I was little by the way) so my Mom, my sister and I all decided to go and look for him before we left to go somewhere. Well I found him dead in our playhouse. Not just a little dead, I mean like nasty dead too. Instead of telling anybody I lied and said I couldn't find him. Not because I was sad or thought I would get in trouble, but because I wanted to go to the zoo or the museum (I can't remember now which it was) and I knew Mom wouldn't take us if she had to deal with the dead cat. So now I am secretly terrified that I will do that if I find a person dead too. Just walk away and act like I never saw it. Sure hope I never find anyone dead! How messed up would that be? And also illegal in some situations!

6. I am afraid of the dark. Terribly afraid. So afraid that I hated that show "Are You Afraid Of The Dark?" just because of the title. Ok really I am just a big scardy cat because I am also afraid of big open spaces, flying, the water, being shot and/or stabbed in the back, chocking on something and watching someone watch me die that way, the gas pump exploding while I am getting gas..... weird stuff.... ridiculous stuff!

7. I hate being repetitive. You know when you tell someone something and they say "huh? what did you say?", well before I say it again I have to think of a different way to say it. Then if they don't get it that time I just say "forget it" and move on. Saying it three times may make my head explode! The teenage years should be a blast for me (gulp)!

Well I hope that did not bore you too much (or scare you into not following me!). I now have the honor of giving this wonderful award to another worthy blogger! Drum roll please....

Thanks! So kind of you. That is so sad about the cat, I think I would still be traumatized.
