Who Me? Thanks!

So, about a month ago, Lissie, from Lissie's Luck gave me the Versatile Blogger Award...and about a month ago, I pinky swore I'd do a post about it the next day. Well Lissie, you were bound to find out sooner or later, I'm a flake.  Versatile, but a flake.  :) Hope you'll forgive me!






The rules:


A) Grab the award...yup.

B) Link back to the person who gave it to you....yup.

C) Share 10 things about yourself:  Here goes nothin'..

1. I hate elevators. Always have, always will. I will ride them if its a must- but only with other people- I could get stuck in there by myself, FFS! (see # 4 below) Once I got stuck in an elevator with a friend (thankfully) and though it probably only lasted for less than 5 minutes, it was enough time for extreme panic to set in.

2. I'm a retail designer for a beautiful store... Yet our house is in constant disarray- my sheets hardly ever coordinate. So sad.

3.  I hate all watermelon flavored candy. Watermelon jolly ranchers are the worst!

4. FFS is my favorite abbreviation. Better than OMG, LOL, LMAO even STFU...I hardly use the others since I'm not a "tween" - but FFS I could definitely get down with. (For Fucks Sake) -yeah, I said it.

5. I'm notorious for starting crafts and not finishing them. I have enough yarn to crochet a cozy the size of our house. (hmmm Etsy???)

6. I've been chased by a woman 3x my size down the streets in Berkeley, CA.  I was sure I pissed her off by something I had said, turned out she was chasing me to apologize.

7. I never learned how to swim and it's embarrassing.  This shall not travel outside the world wide web.

8. I make a MEAN deviled egg.

9. I looove fountain Pepsi with tiny crushed ice in a paper cup. (Um, have you guys had the throwback Pepsi with real sugar? so good.)

10. I went to a private Catholic school for K-highschool. In highschool, we had a "marriage" class where we learned about the sacrament of Marriage. For 1 week during the semester, I was paired up with a classmate and we were "husband and wife" and we had to raise and take care of a baby (a.k.a. sack of flour). We got to pick out of a hat if we had a boy, girl, twins etc. Guess what I drew? I picked infertile. I didn't even get a flour sack baby in highschool.

D) Award 15 recently discovered blogs:


OK, I know, thats not 15, but these were among my "recently discovered" blogs... :)  Thanks again Lissie!

    Thanks for the award! I loved your list :) I'm totally with you on #5, just change "yarn" to "wool" (I went through a soap-felting stage.) It drives my husband crazy!

    Hi! Thanks for the award!! I also went to Private Catholic school...we had to decorate a Styrofoam cup and pretend it was our 'kid' for a week or two...take it everywhere with us, even basketball practice...good times! haha!! I think I'd be scared of elevators too if I got stuck in one!! ohh..and you'd probably learn how to swim quickly if a 3x your size woman was chasing you in a pool :) LOL!! :)
