An award! Finally!

My friend Natalie, over at Boingerhead, has been one of my very best friends (and favorite people) for over 10 years now. You can see her over at the post I wrote about our kids growing up too fast. She and I have supported each other through everything and there isn’t anything she could say or do that I don’t have her back.

When she decided to start her blog, I was incredibly excited. I love her children desperately and couldn’t wait to hear about her life on a regular basis. She and I don’t get to talk enough and this was a great way for me to stay in touch when we don’t get to talk on the phone. She has awarded me the Sugar Doll award that I now get to pass on to some ladies who make me happy! As part of the award, I have to tell you 10 things you don’t know about me. Eep!

I’m passing the award onto two of the first bloggers I read. I don’t do favoritism, but these two have kept me in stitches for almost a year now, so it’s only fair that I send it their way. So, to Barefoot Foodie and Happy Meals and Happy Hour, thank you for making me so happy. I am passing on the torch. Thanks, again!

10 things you don’t know about me:

1/There are times my eyes look green, even though they are clearly brown. It is because the iris is green surrounded by brown. My mom’s eyes are greenish.

2/I hate to have lotion on the palms of my hands. I hate the way it feels and would rather have nasty, ashy, flakey skin than apply lotion.

3/I also hate to have anything on the pads of my feet. I wear socks almost constantly because we have wood floors in our house.

4/I met Bryan, my male best friend, in my masters degree program. We look like siblings, are both German, brown hair, brown curly haired and grew up 90 minutes apart. There is no way that we know of that we are related. However, we can sit in a room with each other quietly for hours and just chill and be happy. Friendships should all be like that.

5/I can’t grow out my fingernails. I bite them when I’m nervous AND when I’m happy AND when I’m thoughtful. They have no shot.

6/I have played instruments including the flute, piano, trumpet and trombone. I have played none of them very well.

7/I don’t have any tattoos, but I think they are incredibly sexy-hot.

8/When I was little, I had a dream about a house with small pond and a weeping willow tree. I have it in my head and I want to live there someday. I have no doubt it is in the town where I live now, I just have to find it.

9/Fall is my favorite season mainly because the trees in Nashville are amazing in the fall. I love Halloween, I love the scents of the season and I love the way everything seems to come together in the fall.

10/Fart jokes make me laugh. Harder than anything else. But I refuse to fart in front of others. Including my husband.

Now you know WAY too much about me.
