Wow, What A Compliment!

I recently received a huge compliment from a fellower blogger, Debra, in the form of a Stylish Blogger Award.

4.)Contact The Bloggers Inform Them of The Award


Hmm, Share 7 things about myself?? Uh-oh, I could lose a ton of readers right here, so if you bore easily, skip past this part.

1. I have a serious addiction to crime shows on TV, CSI, original one only please, NCIS, NCIS LA, Bones, & The Mentalist. I think it comes from seeing a lot of injustice in my job and wanting to see justice served even if it's pretend.

2. On a really bad day, I used to stop and pick up a frosty from Wendy's for supper. Unfortunately, our Wendy's closed and was replaced by a Schlotzsky's. Great place, but not interchangeable for a Frosty. Now if only I could talk Schlotzsky's into serving Frosty's...

3. I love to shop online, but rarely purchase online. I'm just too darn cheap to pay for shipping, but instead I'll happily pay for gas that costs twice as much?!? I know, I need to get that fixed.

4. I cannot fold clothes. Apparently I missed that gene. So, I have to use a folding board, like Sheldon on another of my favorite shows, The Big Bang Theory. It makes my life tons easier.

5. I am a true geek at heart. It is quite typical for me to get made fun of, very sweetly by friends, for my big words. I love Science and all things geeky, including computers.

6. I can pick paint colors immediately. Some people take tons of hours and samples, me? No need. Granted, I did with my kitchen, but went with the color I had picked out in the beginning. I have no idea why I can look at a shade and see it painted, but I can.

7. I typically only drink two different things. (What can I say? I'm a creature of habit!) In the morning, DO NOT speak to me until I've had my Diet Coke. Others drink coffee, but I'm a Diet Coke girl through and through. Most mornings I don't hit work without my cans or a Route 44 with easy ice. After mid-morning, I switch to water. I have several (9) 32 ounce bottles that I rotate through, filling with Reverse Osmosis water. RO water has basically been through a fancy filter where it gets rid of any funky flavors or tastes. Since my kitchen is in stud mode, and no that's not code for filled with cute guys, I have to go to my mom's house to fill my bottles. I CANNOT wait until I get my own system in my own kitchen.

Now onto the fun stuff. I know that's it's supposed to be 12 recently discovered blogs, but these are 12 blogs that I love and check regularly. Most are new, some are vets, but ALL are great!
