for me?

One of my all time favorite blogs to visit is the always interesting, oh-so-wonderful Colour by Number. Cindy is constantly stitching up something fantastic and I love reading about her latest sewing project, her beautiful kids and seeing what fabulous fabric she's found at Vogue (Lucky girl!)

Cindy recently received a Kreativ Blogger award which she has kindly passed on to her faithful readers. Hooray - an award! In order to properly receive this award though, I must list seven interesting facts about myself. Most of you already know this stuff but here goes...

ONE:
To start at the beginning, and for those of you who don't know, I was adopted. This stuns most people since I am constantly told that I look like my mother -- the greatest compliment, by the way. And, that I have a baby brother to boot. Those 1970s doctors didn't know WHAT they were doing! Lucky me since I have the BESTEST family ever!

TWO:
I graduated 10th in my class from High School and a whole 1/2 year early, as a double major, from college. In short, I'm a geek. As if you couldn't have guessed that from my LOTR obsession and my inability to stay up past 8 o'clock.

THREE:
I've flown completely around the world - twice. YES, I stopped along the way but both trips made complete circles around the globe. PHEW!

FOUR:
I went to the same High School as Eddie Mekka who played Carmine "The Big Ragoo" Ragusa on Laverne & Shirley. Obviously, we attended at different times.

FIVE:
I met my husband in a tattoo studio. He was the tattooer and I was the tattooee. I walked out of the building with my brother and said "I just met the man I'm gonna marry." My husband does not believe in fate.

SIX:
I do EVERYTHING and always tell my kids that they can do anything -- the ol' "there's nothing you can't do" schpeal. If you want to do it - DO IT! In the past few years I've painted rooms, installed ceiling fans, replaced all of the electric outlets, planted flowers, baked breads, sewn countless garments and quilts, power washed my house, played mommy, wife, secretary, delivery boy and CEO. Do NOT tell me that you can't do something. That's bull#@#*!

SEVEN:
I HATE to be late! I'm one of the most punctual people you will ever meet. If I'm late, it's John's fault.

THE END!

WOW! That was fun. I hope I didn't scare anyone. Thanks to Cindy for getting me going!

I know I haven't been the best blogger these days. I'm finding it hard to get in front of the computer lately but check back! More to come soon - I promise.
