Thank you for the HUGE compliment!

Susan of A Work In Progress just awarded me with the Beautiful Blog Award.  I am SO surprised and honored!  I was particularly surprised when I showed up among some really amazing crafters…stitchers and quilters alike.  Her list included some people that I admire as well, so to be included among them…well…I’m blushing!  Thank you so much Susan!  You made my day!

Part of this award is telling you all 10 things about me that you may not know.  I don’t think that these things are common knowledge about me, so here goes:

1.  I am from Baton Rouge, Louisiana.  I am a Cajun Girl.  I. CAN. COOK.  Like really good.  That probably has a lot to do with why I still am in a double digit pants size.  Also along these Louisiana lines…I will never be a Texan.  I live in Texas.  I married a Texan.  I had two little Texan baby boys.  I will never be a Texan.  Period.

2.  I danced for most of my life until college.  I was on the dance team in high school.  I won a huge trophy for being the “Drill Down Queen” at summer dance camp one year.  Don’t ask.

3.  My best friend from high school is still my best friend today.  I made her move cross-county to Texas to live near me, and she lived on my couch for 6 weeks until she found an apartment and a job.  At the time, I had a 5 week old baby who slept in my breakfast room because our apartment was only 700 sq. feet.  We’ve been through thick and thin, and that’s why she can never get rid of me.

4.  I have two boys.  Both of them were born on a Monday.

5.  I have danced in the Kansas City Royals’ baseball stadium.

6.  I love to sing.  I sing in church frequently.  It is part of what makes me me.

7.  I hate to run.  I think that even if I was being chased by a bear, I would not run away.  I mean, why postpone the inevitable…he’s gonna eat me anyway, right?

8.  If I had to choose only one food to eat for the rest of my life, it would without a doubt be Mexican food.  And by Mexican food, I mean anything that is ensconced in melted cheese.  Preferably with a side of margarita.

9.  I have small hole next to my left eye.  In the corner by the nose.  You know, in that little corner where you get eye boogers.  It’s tiny…about the size of an ear pierce hole.

10.  I really enjoy crime dramas.  Law and Orders, CSIs, Criminal Minds, Cold Case, Numbers, etc.  I. LOVE. THEM.  {my husband wanted me to write “really really really really really really really enjoy” but I think that you get the picture}

That’s about it.  I’m gonna be bad and break the award chain.  SO if you haven’t gotten an award, but you want to participate, consider yourself awarded.
