Beautiful Blogger Awards

As I was blog-stalking this past weekend, I noticed that my friend, Caroline, bestowed this fabulous blog award upon me a few weeks ago. Since I am such an avid blog-stalker, I truly cannot believe I missed it! So sorry, Caro...please do not consider this ANY indication of how little I check your blog. To the contrary, I get my Lorelai fix pretty much daily!!

To those who don't know Caroline, you can find her over at http://www.blogballentine.blogspot.com/. She is an amazing mother who balances law practice and family life beautifully! I've always admired her easy-going nature, fabulous fashion sense, shameless outfit-matching with her 2-year old, and her willingness to share just how completely IN LOVE with her husband she is. Oh, and did I mention that her married name is Caroline Ballentine -- which, seriously, could that be any cuter?!? So, anyway, thank you Caro for thinking to give this coveted award to yours truly. Now, for the fun part of receiving this...

THE RULES:


- Thank the person who nominated you for the award.
- Copy the award and place it on your blog.
- Link the person who nominated you for the award.
- Post 7 interesting things about yourself.
- Nominate 7 bloggers.
- Post links to blogs you nominate.

7 interesting things about me:

~I can touch my feet (both of them - one at a time or together) to my face and pretend like they're telephones. In fact, my whole family can do this except for my dad. We even took a picture of it and turned it into a mousepad one year.
~I have no self-control when it comes to buying baby girl clothing for my friends' baby showers. None. Whatsoever.
~I am sensitive to a fault. I can't tell you how many thousands of times I've been told that I need to 'grow a thicker skin,' because things really (like, REALLY) hurt my feelings. Very rarely do I get mad or bitter...just really sad and hurt. Perhaps this is why law practice and I didn't hit it off.
~I am allergic to almost all fake smells - perfume, plug-ins, air fresheners, candles (even unlit!), lotions, hand sanitizers, etc. etc. etc. I hate admitting this to other people though, because it always makes both of us feel bad. :(
~I have a mental block when it comes to memorizing scripture or excerpts from literature, but I love studying the bible and reading gifted writers more than I can say.
~When I think about the things my husband says and does for me, I'm pretty sure I live in a fairytale that just hasn't been written yet.
~Sometimes, instead of thinking about how excited I am to be having another baby boy in March, I find myself thinking (and sometimes saying to Jared), "Wow, there sure will be a lot of penises in this house soon," which then sends me straight out the door to find something girly to do.

Phew, it was hard to pick just seven...all of my blogging girlfriends are totally amazing. In fact, if you didn't see your name, it's probably because I've dinged you before and made you re-post something...and I didn't want anyone to get tired of that! Oh, and several of these beautiful bloggers have 'private' blogs, so you'll just have to take my word for it that they are, indeed, some of the most beautiful bloggers ev-uhhh. Congrats, ladies...
