You Like Me! You Really Like Me!

 

It is a normal Sunday night over here, Chinese food and TV (Golden Globes) and reading through my blogroll.  

One of my blogfriends Kelly, at One Day At A Time  ,was posting about an award Kristen from Miss Prissy Paige  give her.  I greatly enjoyed reading Kelly's long list of personal facts....then I got to the bottom of her list....and she passed the award on to me!!!


This is only the second blog award I've ever received!! (I have a long overdue post about the Honest Scrap from Emily)


Kelly is great- go check her out, and we have much in common.  We were both teachers, and live in close proximity- but most significantly we both love cannolis.  Really, Kelly has a great blog that focuses on the positives.  She also shares great recipes- yum, yum. 


On to my fun facts:


1.  I grew up in Connecticut.  No, I don't play tennis, drive a Volvo or wear a sweater around my shoulders.
2. My younger sister is taller than me. 
3. Chester is the 4th Golden Retriever I've had.
4 & 5. I have a screw in my ankle from a swimming injury. Yes, swimming.  I was a competitive swimmer for 7ish years, but called it quits after two surgeries.
6.  I am a major night owl.  My want to teach at an elementary night school, but have yet to find one. 
7. I'm also a big, sentimental pack rat.  When I cleaned out my closet last summer, I found a box of stuff from middle school.  I had saved the change from post-graduation celebratory Friendly's ice cream.  (and I HATED middle school)
8. John and I both drive Ford Explores- our saving grace is that they are different colors.
9. John and I met at a Mardi Gras Party.
10.  John and I were introduced by our respective roommates.  They are now married too. 
11. I own 4 copies of the movie Grease.  
12.  Freshman year my college roommate's mom said our room was like "Martha Stewart on crack".  I took it as a compliment. 
13. I am almost always the DD, because I'm much more fun when NOT drinking.  And I'd rather save the calories for chocolate. 
14.  John and I got married on the quad of our college campus!  It was awesome!
15. My birthday is the day after my mom's.  


Now to pay it forward (in random order):

Thanks again Kelly!
