I know, I know, I just did my dinner post!  Consider this extra-credit for funsies.  The fabulous Katie gave me an award –

Thank you!  Now I am supposed to tell you 7 random facts about myself:

1. Earlier todayI mentioned that my middle name is Helen, but now I’ll tell you that my full name (too much blog disclosure???) is Emily Helen Wax.  When I was a kid my parents used to say “Emily Helen Wax, Boop Boop!”  My best friend practically lived with me and of course she heard so for several years many friends called me that in public!
2. Similarly, all of my friends have always called me Wax (some said E) and when people call me Emily I get very confused.
3. I started running because my (now)husband was on the high school cross-country team and I wanted to flirt with him!
4. I also did volleyball, basketball, and softball (I sucked at all of them, badly), and cheerleading.
5. My rhythm is so bad that when I was a cheerleader I was told to pantomime clapping, I wasn’t allowed to actually make noise!
6. When I was in high school my parents said I could pierce my belly button if I attended Saturday math tutoring…..the class was canceled after 2 weeks! 🙂
7. For my birthdays I’ve – gone rock climbing, gone parasailing, gone sky diving, shot a gun, and flown a plane.

And award 3 other bloggers (this was hard, I realize not all of these are healthy living blogs, and I’m not sure if they’ve already been awarded):

1. Cybele from Candy Blog
2. Camile from Classroom Confessions
3. Kelly from Beneath It All

Now I’m off to write a short acceptance speech that I can slyly pull out of my pocket in mock surprise…….
