Boy oh Boy...Oh Boy!!

WOW!!! Stacey over at Boy, Oh Boy, Oh Boy is WAY too nice to little 'ol me! If I needed something to rip me from my funk, this would definitely do the trick. Go over to her AWESOME blog to see how "wickedly awesome" I am :) Yippeeeeeee!
Thanks SO much Stacey, I'm truly honored!

Wow!!!!

Another award for little 'ol me, YAY!!!! Kelly from Kelly is Inspired passed along this award to me and I am so so happy! Being versatile is awesome, but being stylish AND versatile is even better!!! Thanks Kelly :)

Here are 7 more tid bits about yours truly:

1. I'm not a morning person or a night owl. I think I'm an evening person.

2. I really really want to learn to sew but am a bit nervous. I know once I get going I'll get hooked. I think I have performance anxiety.

3. I never took the SATs because for one, I knew I was going to community college before I went to a 4-year school. For two, I never wanted to know what I would get.

4. I am Emetophobic (I just looked up that fancy term). I have a phobia of vomit. Myself doing it, others doing it around me. I'm terrified of it. It's definitely more than your standard "eew, gross" dislike. I literally freak out at the thought of it. Even intense coughing, gagging, or burping is unsettling to me. It's totally irrational I know, but that's what phobias are...irrational fears. Anyway, I definitely want to get hypnosis or something down the road. This is all a bit embarrassing to admit, but hey, everyone has at least one weird thing and this is mine.

5. I'm the mom that yells. We were at a b-day party the other day and there was a seriously unsafe pinata session happening. Baseball bats swinging super close to kids heads and all. I was yelling at everyone. Kids, parents, people passing by. It was not pretty. I need to work on this.

6. I love tv.

7. I am very productive when I want to be, but I can also very easily fall into being a lazy couch-potato.

Well, that's it. My second set of "7 things."
Thanks again for the award Kelly, I really appreciate it :)

SO honored!!!

WOW!!!!!!! I'm So excited!! Tara over at Lauren Lane Decor just gave me the "Versatile Blogger Award!" YAY! I've never won an award in blog land before and I am thrilled that my first is for being versatile. It's such a compliment! I think the rules are, I have to tell you 7 facts about me, and then pass this awesome award on to 7 versatile bloggers! Here goes:

7 facts about little 'ol me:

1. I was born and raised in Laguna Beach California. I have traveled all over the world and still find it to be the most beautiful place on Earth!

2. My favorite flowers are pink peonies, lily of the valley, and rannunculas (sorry about that crazy spelling).

3. I think about shopping ALL THE TIME. No joke. It is always on my mind. Thrifting, flea markets, the mall. I can find something to buy anywhere I go. BUT, since the budget often doesn't allow, I have to fight this strong urge on a regular basis.

4. I wear a white ribbed tank top pretty much every day. It's my go-to layering piece and to be honest, I feel naked without it.

5. I'm a tummy sleeper, so both times that I was pregnant, I was in misery.

6. Oprah bugs me. Don't judge me for this. It's just how I feel. She bugs majorly!

7. Hmmm, this 7th one is tricky. Let's see.....I guess the last thing I would like you all to know about me is that I am a very loyal friend. You can say a lot of things about me, but flaky is definitely not one of them. I enjoy maintaining my relationships and I genuinely love and care for all of my friends. It is a characteristic that I take pride in (and unfortunately it makes me feel even more annoyed when people flake on me).

Ok, I'm passing this award on to these versatile blogs:
