Blog Award

I have received this lovely blog award!

Thank you to Jenny from A Heritage From The Lord for giving me this wonderful award. :-D

1. Choose 7 blogs that you find brilliant in content and design.

2. Show the 7 winners' names and links on your blog.

Chelle at Baby Bean Mom
Emily at Our Little Buster
Elizabeth at Bits of Sunshine
Courtney at Dandies in the Sunshine
Michele at Life After Loss
Yaya at Yaya Stuff
Mandy at I love my Mist


3. List 10 honest things about yourself.

  1. I realize I'm a MN girl whose roots are tied to Scandinavia, but I LOVE spicy food. My nose has to water. The hotter, the better!
  2. I love school and education. This time of year, I'm always so nostalgic because fall represents back to school. I want to go back to school!
  3. One of my greatest passions in life is traveling. For the past few years, T and I have tried to visit a new country every year. Some people buy bigger houses, faster cars, more clothes. . . we travel.
  4. I hate when people drive slowly in the left lane of traffic, completely oblivous to the fact that they are really messing up traffic. And I'm not afraid to use my horn. Get over already!
  5. I love studying foreign languages, and if I actually would pick one and stick to it, I may be fluent in another language right now. Instead, I switch every couple of years. So far, I've studied Spanish, Russian, and Arabic.
  6. Bad grammar bugs me. I realize my grammar is far from perfect, but I at least know that "he don't" doesn't sound nearly as nice as "he doesn't."
  7. In hindsight, I realize it's more important for me to live in a shack in my desirable neighborhood, than to live in a beautiful home in a not desirable neighborhood.
  8. I hate my hair. HATE it. It's really fine, but really thick. Totally unmanageable, and not real pretty. I keep telling T I want to shave it all off. . . and I'm only half joking.
  9. I have a great Mom and Dad. There isn't one bad thing I could say about them. To me, they are the best parents in the world and I know it.
  10. Apparently, I have a MN accent. I'm working hard on getting rid of it. :-D

A MN accent is probably better than an southern accent :)

Awww! Thanks Leah! You gave me a reason to post tonight. I've been kind of blah lately.

I am totally with you on people driving slow in the left lane. I go around them and cut them off. :D I am also with you on the bad grammar thing. While I am a writer and only got a B in grammar, it still drives me insane to hear Red Neck Speak from educated individuals.

I further agree with the neighborhood thing. Good people around you makes home that much sweeter. I LOVE my neighbors and wouldn't trade them for a fancy house any day.

Congrats on the blog award!

I'm also not a fan of the left lane drivers. It's like they woke up one day and decided that it was their goal in life to mess up traffic royally!
