an award and a giveaway, as promised

First, the lovely Dallas Celiac awarded me the Beautiful Blogger Award!  I met DC in San Fransisco and she is quite beautiful, so I feel honored!

Now I have to pass it to 7 more bloggers (note, I think pretty much 99% of bloggers are beautiful – 1% is handsome, I’m looking at you Nate! – so this was a challenge.  If you’ve already gotten this and I’m being repetitive I apologize).

  1. Peas and Thank You
  2. Bran Appetit
  3. Skinny Runner
  4. Meals and Moves
  5. Graduate Meghann
  6. Classroom Confessions
  7. Yes I Want Cake

And now 7 random, cool facts about me

  1. When I ran cross-country in high school I finished the first race last dead last and then puked all over myself.
  2. I started college as a communication major and was one credit from a minor when I switched to education (I also have a 2nd major in English).
  3. I really, really like stickers.  In fact, in high school, I wore at least three a day and walked around handing them out.
  4. (Given fact #3 this one is astonishing) I was popular in high school, and sometimes I used to wish I was picked on so I could have a character building experience.
  5. I think Dr. Seuss is a genius and taught several of his books in my 8th grade curriculum.
  6. I’m a major klutz, Adam is astonished by how often I hurt myself.
  7. I’m pretty bummed about my foot.  I think the best way to feel better is to make someone else smile, so I’m hosting a small giveaway below.

The small giveaway (please notice the emphasis on the word small) is sTiCkErS!  A few are cute company stickers from some fabulous brands and a few are fun foodie stickers from my sticker box.  To enter – leave a comment on this post telling me one random, cool fact about yourself.  I’ll pick one winner at 1pm today.

  1. aw, thanks for the award girl! 🙂

    I’m a big klutz too!!!

    Hmm…one random cool fact.

    I am ambidextrious (is that how you spell it?). I write and eat with my left hand, but use scissors and throw with my right hand.

  2. Stickers rock!!
    Let’s see, I eat oat bran each night for “dessert” no matter how full I am! It’s so good, especially now in the winter!

  3. Yays! Thanks love!
    I just laughed out loud for a good 5 minutes reading your ramdom facts. I miss you like crazy!!

    Random Fact about me- I watch movies that I like and listen to songs that I like over and over again until I’m sick of them. It’s the only way to get them out of my head.

    Love you!

  4. First off, I hope your foot feels better soon!

    Random fact…crap, i am the most random person in the entire world and can’t think of anything…

    Even though Buffalo is some random city that I wound up in, my grandpa grew up there. As did my best friend’s mom. Two of my friends’ dads also went to college there. And all of the above are from Madison, so it’s really weird that they all of Buffalo connections.

    And while I don’t think I believe fate, I think it was fate that I ended up coming here.

  5. Actually, honey, I believe you threw up before the race was over (me to another spectator: “I’m looking for my daughter…” Spectator: “Well, there’s a young girl throwing up on the curb way back there!”)
    Random fact – It’s fun for me to decorate the Library’s weekly sign up sheet with stickers. Does anyone notice that the theme, stickers, and ink color MATCH??

  6. Aw, thanks for the award!! I actually already got it, but I really appreciate you thinking of me! 🙂 Loved your facts. I once threw up on myself during a spinning class.

    I LOVE STICKERS…part of being a teacher, maybe. Anywho, I would be so happy to win your giveaway! I hope it’s not too late (as it is 12pm here in CO – but that means 2pm where you are).

  7. #1 pretty much happened to me too! I came in dead last and puked after a 4×400 relay at my first (and only) track meet of high school! Gave up running for almost 7 years after that, but ironically have gone on to win or place in my age division in a handful of 5K’s!

    btw, I was one of your Amy’s giveaway winners, and my package came in the mail today- thanks again! 😀

  8. hey doll! i have been saving my blog reading for today and finally had the chance to read this. wanted to thank you for the award!! LOVED your facts~#1 made me laugh so hard. love it. you’re the best em!
