Shut Up, Me??

Soooo I woke up this morning (which is actually yesterday morning by the time I officially "post" this) and did my daily routine - 2 cups of coffee, 1 vanilla greek yogurt, social media stalking, + email checking, and had gotten an email that made me a giddy little girl!  What was this email about, you may ask?  Welllllllll,


Samantha from 3-Oh-1 Grace St nominated little 'ol me for the


 

My initial reaction (to myself, of course) was "shut up, me!?" as I did a little inner goddess jump up-and-down (sorry about that awful 50 shades reference, people) and couldn't even believe it.  Someone actually reads this blog (besides me, my fiance, + my family) and that.is.awesome.  So without further ado here are the rules + regs ;)





1.  Someone "gave" this award to you? 
Create a blog post including 11 random facts about yourself
2.  Also in that blog post, answer the 11 question the person that nominated you has given you, and make up another 11 questions for the people you will nominate
3.  Give this award to at least 5 blogs (up to 11) and link them in your post!
4.  Tell those people that you have nominated them for the award
5.  You cannot nominate the person that has nominated you
6.  Remember to tag blogs with less than 200 followers


| Random Facts about Moi |

one: I'm a proud Penn State Alum (regardless of all the negativity surrounding the university currently)
two: I met my soul mate on the street and didn't begin dating him for over a year after meeting him 
three: I could sleep anywhere at anytime for any length of time with my favorite pillow that I've dubbed "heaven pillow" 
four: I started blogging as a joke with my sister, but have recently really gotten into it
five: I make lists like they're going out of style (to stay sane + organized!)
six: I love the smell of scotch tape.  (yes, like birthday present tape)
seven: I have two distinct freckles (beauty marks?) on my left hand
eight: I drive a manual transmission
nine: I love bread + butter pickles
ten: I want a big 'ol lab named chooch (the pooch)
eleven: I sometimes snort when I laugh

| Answers to Samantha's Questions |

one: puppies or kitties?  easy - puppies!  hands down :) they are soooo lovable and have so much personality anddddd I think Nick would break up with me if I ever claimed to like cats 
two: most complicated part about blogging for me?  probably coming up with interesting things to blog about!  who wants to read something dull + drab?!  not me, that's for sure!
three: drink of choice?  water w/ lemon, please!  but if you're talking going-out-drink-of-choice I'll take the same w/ a shot of vodka.  no joke!
four: favorite vacay?  up to this point my favorite vacation has been our girls trip senior year of college - we took a cruise and stayed in Miami, Key West, + the Bahamas.  best time was had by all & I hope we can plan something again here soon!!  
five: least favorite chore?  cleaning my floors (kitchen, bathroom, etc.)!!  I don't like that it's a multi-step process; first sweep, then mop, then clean up the wet gunk you didn't get while sweeping - ick!!!!!  I find that avoid it like the plague.  
six: spaghetti or lasagna?  spaghetti omg yum!  I haven't had much lately since my "lifestyle makeover" began in april, but mmmmmm with the right sauce + delicious locatelli cheese sprinkled on top it is to die for! 
seven: socks on or off when you sleep?  off.  always!  I even have to have a foot that sticks out of the covers just a little bit when I sleep; me & my mom can't be the only 2 people that do this, can we??
eight: guilty pleasure?  mani//pedis.  nothing makes me feel more feminine + pampered than splurging on a good mani//pedi.  sure, sure, I could do one myself, but where's the fun in that?
nine: are you still friends with your best childhood friend?  thats a toughie- I was a military kid so never had a "best" childhood friend; I didn't meet my best friend until we were in college!!  
ten: you don't leave your house without _____?  my lifeline iPhone.  it's really disgusting how much I depend on it.  
eleven: favorite desert?  recently it's been vanilla froyo w/ any fruit//nut toppings!
(but realistically when I'm not dieting anything is good by me!)

| Questions for My Nominees |

one: if your job were to transfer you to a different location, ideally where would it take you?
two: do you bunch or fold your toilet paper?  (tmi // awkward?  never.)
