Day: February 16, 2010

I went from never getting an award to two in one day. I’d be getting a big head if I was that kinda girl. Luckily I’m not; just dorkily excited. Ha!

So thanks to my girl B for giving me the Master of Karate & Friendship Award. This one makes me LOL!

The Rules for this one: List six things you are a master at/of.
1) I’m a master at multi-tasking. I’m currently blogging, drinking wine, & watching 24.
2) I’m a master at loving things I can’t always afford. Mom’s always said I have champagne tastes & beer budget. This leads to #3…
3) I’m a master shopper for deals. I LOVE a good deal. Day after thanksgiving sales (I’m there!). Day after Christmas sales (Mom, Nana & I are one of the first in line at Crate & Barrel!). Wanted new pair of Jack Rodgers but not for the $93 price~ stalked shoe website til I was able to combine enough coupons to get them for $65!
4) I’m a master traveler. I pack pretty light, I’m a good planner, I’m pretty easy going & I love to have fun. Pick a spot & I’m there! Can’t wait for Ft. Lauderdale in less than 2 weeks!!
5) I’m a master (in training) minor events coordinator. I minored in event planning and really wanted to work in the industry. Didn’t happen. Instead, I love to help host or hostess parties & events for friends. I love the behind the scenes work, the rush of getting a lot done & feeling once you accomplished it, the cooking, and socializing. I don’t enjoy the cleaning (also why I like helping host at other locations!).
6) I’m a master at fun! (One of the reason’s why B & I are such good friends!!) Count me in for nights out, girl’s chill nights, bunco, dinner club & other Chi O alum events, work out get togethers, Christmas parties, you name it I’m probably up for it! This is not to say that I’m bad at the low times, but I do try to always look at the positive. I can do serious heart-to-heart talks & am always there for friends to lean on ~ I’ll be there with a glass of wine & a cupcake or two. You can call me anytime & I’m there to listen & try to make you smile.

So with that sappiness~ can you tell I’m on glass of wine #3?!~ I’m going to try to nominate different blog buddies than the ones below. The below are awesome girls who’s blogs I love & ones I “know” originally from the nest but all I’ve met IRL. They are all masters of karate & friendships too! So here’s to ya’ll: Jenny, Alethea, Jamie, Blair Jenni, & Meredith.

Jenny awesomely included me as one of her Beautiful Bloggers. I feel special! Thanks so much Jenny. You’re so fun & funny & I love that you currently have awesome PINK hair!

So here’s The Rules:
1. Thank the person who nominated you for this award.
2. Copy the award & place it on you blog.
3. Link to the person who nominated you for this award.
4. Share 7 interesting things about yourself.
5. Nominate 7 bloggers.

Seven things about myself:
1. I love reality TV. From the first time I watched the Real World a loooong time ago, I’ve been hooked. I routinely watch: Biggest Loser, The Batchelor, Big Brother, Real World & all its spin offs, Survivor, Amazing Race, Jon & Kate (pre-divorce), new obsession is 19 kids & counting, and I’m forgetting others I’m sure!
2. I really want to lose weight (I swear!), but I don’t always make healthy eating choices. I love all things bad for you~ pizza, ice cream, take out chicken sandwiches & fries, beer, wine, cookies, cake etc etc. I try to work out more when I’m on bad eating kicks, but I’m not always good about that either! Eek~ Sometimes I want pizza more than I want those 10 pounds gone!
3. I keep clothes & shoes a lot longer than I should. Recent example: The T-shirt I wore this weekend has a hole in the RT armpit & (tiny) holes in the back. Its about 5 years old but its pink & really soft & a great sleep shirt. Instead of trashing it last night, its in the laundry bin. 🙂
4. I love country music & don’t keep up with current top 40 “hits”. I occasionally tune it to G105 or ask friends so I can kinda know what’s going on.
5. I love cheesy romantic comedys. The more predicable the better!
6. I know a lot of people who hate their jobs right now & I’m really thankful & happy with mine.
7. Lastly, I use run-on sentenses. I type in stream of conscience. & I don’t care that I can’t spell! So there. That’s 7 things about me!

It’s hard to nominate 7 ladies. I have a lot of blogs I keep up with regularly. I’m going to go along with Jenny’s plan and go with ladies I’ve met IRL. But anyone who’s reading this (are there 7 of yall?!) is beautiful!! So here’s to you Beth, Nicole, Steph, Holly, Megan, Elissa, & Marie ~ ya’ll are beautiful bloggers & buddies! I’m so thankful I’ve been able to call you a friend & am able to stalk your life (haha!) through your wonderful blogs!
