Not just from all the compliments (sincere, I hope) about the ruby hair, but from some awesome bloggers who thought I deserved an award or two.
I got my first award back in May from Rach, who writes Life With Baby Donut. She gave me the Kreativ Blogger Award!
That was followed by Germaine over at Kiddothings who bestowed upon me the Versatile Blogger Award.
Now, I said thank you back then, but what I wasn’t aware of, because I am stoopid, is that I was supposed to write a post sharing a few random things about myself and pass the award on.
I realized this earlier this week when Laura at Catharsis was kind enough to also give me the Versatile Blogger Award.
So, Laura, thank you. And Rach and Germaine? Oops. I’m really sorry I biffed it earlier.
So without further ado, here are a few things about me you may not know.
1. Before I can drink a carbonated beverage out of a bottle, I must first blow into the bottle and clear out all the air. Otherwise, it tastes funny and makes me do that burp where your nose burns.
2. I cannot stand to be cuddled while I sleep, and my husband is a total snuggle slut, so we’ve arrived at a mutually agreeable solution: foot cuddling. My left foot and his right foot whisper sweet nothings to each other all night long. So sweet, unless you hate feet. (I’m lucky, hubs has nice feet.)
3. I’m the world’s worst backseat driver, but only with my husband. I can’t help it, the gasps and remarks are completely involuntary. As a result, he makes me drive. It’s something I’m really working on. He’s not even a bad driver, just absentminded. He missed the exit to our house once. Or twice. No lie.
4. I brush my teeth in the shower while my conditioner sets. Is that weird? It seems to save time.
5. I can’t watch Poltergeist alone. I had a babysitter once who let me watch it, and it permanently scarred my psyche. My mom had to watch the damn movie so she could figure out why I kept screaming “Red fingers! Red fingers!” I seriously just got chills writing that. Hold me.
6. I dream all the time about being able to move things with my mind. Perhaps this indicates a need for power, but I think it’s just that I’m so damn lazy.
Ok, that’s enough randomosity from me today. I need to choose a few bloggers and pass on these awards, yes?
So, for the Kreativ Blogger Award, I choose:
Jenn @ Fox in the City
Ruby @ Sarcasm 101
Galit @ These Little Waves
I’d like to pass on the Versatile Blogger Award to:
John @ Daddy’s in Charge
Greta @ Not Enough Patience and Never Enough Jewelry
Guys, if you’ve already gotten this award before, lucky you! Now you have two! (I don’t want to hear it if this is your third time. Nobody likes a braggart.)
Also, for the next three hours, voting is open at Blogger Idol. I’m still hanging on, and I wrote about another group of awesome bloggers that you might want to check out. (And, *cough* voteformamamash.)
I voted baby, hope you win! Congrats to all you wonderful winners, you deserve it!
Thank you, Theresa! I really appreciate your support week after week!
That is so funny about the burps. Maybe I’ll tell my hubs about that. And I’m a total snuggle slut and DH is the opposite so he agreed to keep one hand on my back at all times! Ok and #5? I can’t even type the title of that movie.
Ok, so here’s the plan then. When I come visit you, we’ll have to watch that movie. In the dark. Wooooo!
Thanks, lady! I’m honored.
And my hubs is also a snuggle whore. I am not.
Looking forward to meeting you tomorrow!
Me too! I hope I don’t get all weird and nervous. You can’t judge me based on our first meeting.
Also? I HATE being a passenger when my husband drives. And, I brush my teeth in the shower. And I’m lazy.

I totally wish I had telekinetic powers too. I am not lazy. I will deny that to my deathbed.
And voted for you at Blogger Idol!
Thank you, Alisonwithoneldon’teventrytotypetwo. Muah!
I didn’t vote for you this week. I just wasn’t feeling that post. Ha! Just joking.
Congrats to you on your awards and to the talented people you passed them along to…you bunch of Kreativ and Versatile Bloggers, you!
Yeah, I know. Most of the bloggers I picked were awesome, but there was this one lame one…
Oh thank you so very much dear friend! I’m so touched and thankful- truly.
So now you’re ten pounds lighter and one award heavier! I like that math.
I have to try the blow in the bottle thing (wow, that sounds kind of dirty!). I hate pop burps. I’m with you on Poltergeist. That movie is so freaky! I don’t remember which # it was – but the one where they live in a high rise and there is that pool scene. I can’t swim again in an indoor pool because of Carol Ann!
Oh, that’s like P3 I think. The second one, with the preacher? Just as freaky.
Haha…really had to laugh at the facts about you; especially #2. Congrats on your awards – totally deserve them all. I shall try tip #1 next time – don’t like the nose burning sensation either. And I can’t watch ANY horror movies – I’ll get nightmares like forever.
I’m telling you, once you start blowing in the bottle, it becomes a compulsion.
Thanks for your sweet comments on my “How’d You Meet” story at Rach’s. Congrats on your awards! You crack me up with the “cuddle slut” and the compromise of the feet cuddling. That is hilarious! I’m your newest follower!
Hi Natalie! Thanks for following!
I snort-laughed about the backseat driver business and how the “gasps and remarks are completely involuntary”. haha I’m the exact same way with Jonathan and now I do the driving. Congrats on the award!
We can’t help it, right? (And thanks!)
OF COURSE i voted for mamamash. It’s my “thing” these days, you know…voting for you.
Thank you again for the love the other day. You really made an impactful difference on my day and I even called my husband to read what you wrote.
All the cool kids are voting for me.
Noodle!
I too hate to be cuddled while I sleept. Perhaps it’s because my love sweats like he’s running a marathon in his slumber?
We do the toe dance instead.
