It's a Major Award!

My mind is still in a fog from this head cold this morning. I didn't get much sleep last night and what sleep I did get, contained really weird dreams. Anyone want to live in a house that does have a fireplace in the living room, but it's full of leaves and small animals and also has a toilet for decoration in the corner?... Like I said, they were weird.

But HEY! I won the Versatile Blogger award yesterday from Annie Jones over at Haphazard Homestead!!! I'm sorry but I'm not feeling like tagging 15 people and ticking off 176 followers... It's just too much work. I love all of you guys to pieces!!!
It may be the cold talking... I remember being a bit out of it after Meri was born and an acquaintance called me at the hospital to congratulate me. I ended the conversation with I LOVE you!! Things were a bit awkward after that...

Anywho, I will put down 7 little known items about me. If you've followed me a while, then you probably already know some of them. I'll try and surprise you tho.

1) I met Annie IRL!!! About 2 years ago, on our way to Spring break in Branson, Missouri, we stopped and met her at a Perkins and enjoyed breakfast with her and her little Kat! Unfortunately the picture we took of them accidentally got erased from my camera....

2) When I was a kid, I used to play in the dirt. a.lot... There was a small hill directly behind our house in the country, leading down to a service type road. My sisters and I would dig in the dirt and build little villages up and down that slope. My fingernails always looked terrible.

3) Annie and I are on the totally opposite spectrum politically. I am firmly on the conservative side of the fence... Don't let that scare you! Let's just say if we lived in the same state, we could cancel out each others vote!

4) As a teenager, I ate a piece of dog food on a dare once and it wasn't that bad... My youngest did when she was a toddler and we had to rush her to the hospital because she wouldn't stop screaming. To this day I have no idea how it happened, but when we got home from the hospital she was still really fussy and then she barfed on my coat and there in the middle of it was a triangular bit of plastic... I can only assume it was in with the dog food...

5) Our water softener has been on the fritz now for about 6 months. Just haven't had the gumption to get it fixed yet and there are still 4 bags of salt in the trunk of my car.

6) I made a denim Boppy pillow a week or so ago for my daughter-in-law and grandson. Oh my goodness, they love it to pieces! I took the stuffing out of a body pillow I'd made her while she was still pregnant. She hasn't used it since and there is a zipper in the body pillow so I can re-stuff it someday if she needs it again.

Yes, he's smiling and laughing! I still haven't witnessed this, but Tiffany took a pic with her camera when she got him to do it. Sorry the pic is a little dark...

7) I get to see one of my nieces try for her Black belt tomorrow in Kansas City! Since I'm of a different Taekwondo association than them, I feel obligated to wear my Black Belt and intimidate them all. (not really... But I'm trying to convince Meri of doing that with hers...)

Ok - there are my 7 things. If you want to do that too, go for it! I'm not going to stop you or force you either.

Have a great Friday!
